Recently my family spent two weeks in Florida, we rented a 2003 Kia Sorento. At first I was bummed being an "American car girl" all the way but within half an hour I singing this SUV's praises. By the time our vacation was up we had decided we would be trading in our 2003 Chevy 1/2 ton for a new Kia Sorento.
The Sorento was very quiet, felt solid and handled extremely well at any speed. Other reviews list the cons for this vehicle as the poor gas mileage but I was getting an average of 24 mpg in Florida and that included Disney traffic too! On a good day my truck only gets 14! So I don't think the Sorento did too bad at all. The controls are well appointed, the seating is very comfortable and how can you beat the 100,000 mile/10 year warranty? Kia gets an A+ and my next car-purchase dollars. Rent one yourself and check it out!
