I purchased my 2013 Kia Sorento LX fwd (3.5L V6 engine non GDI) used with 36,000mi. It now has 167,000mi. (mix of city and 1000+mi road trips). It's had very few issues, and it's still running strong. The 3.5 engine seems very durable. I change the oil and use only high quality full synthetic oil and filter. The few minor issues include limited life for front turn signal/head light bulbs, slightly stiff suspension, and easily stained fabric seats. The suspension and steering seem pretty durable as well. I only use Michelin Defender tires, and I've gotten 95,000mi out of them. It's never needed an alignment.

Has been very reliable but with a constant worry what might happen withal the recalls concerning the engin. I have a garage but didn't put it inside for feer of fire. I have had all the recalls done that I have had a notice in the mail. Recently the fuel pump has gone took it to garage immediately and is being repaired. I have looked after this vehicle very good as records with kia dealer in New minas ns and walkers auto Berwick ns.

Kia knowing the problem with the engine Did almost nothing. Mi Kia Sorento engine only last 111,000miles and they said that the recall was made. I remember I took my Sorento to the dealership when I received the first recall about the engine been a responsable person and doing all the oil changes on time and they said that they did a sound check to the engine and everything was fine. And now I have no car to go to work. Very disappointed of Kia.
