Mar 07 '07 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very Stylish, Smooth & Quiet Ride, 5-Star Safety Rating, Great Price, Comfortable, Excellent Warranty
Cons: Fuel Economy
The Bottom Line: The Kia Sorento was the best buy I ever made and would definitely recommend them to anyone. It's reliable, priced right, safe, and feels like any luxury SUV out there.

If you want a reliable SUV, the Sorento is it!!! I bought my new 2005 Kia Sorento for $22,400 fully loaded and can tell you that it was worth every penny of it and even more! I absolutely love this car and wouldn't trade it for any other car! I have yet ...

Apr 17 '06 - Updated Apr 18 '06 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: This whole Suv is pros
Cons: Nothing at all on both my Sorentos
The Bottom Line: This Suv is well defined in and out and well worth the money. Test drive a Sorento you will buy it.

This is my second Sorento and I cannot say a bad thing about it. I just traded my 2004 Sorento Lx with the 5spd manual transmission in on my new 2005 Sorento Ex. I have now experienced both worlds of this great Suv. The 2005 Sorento Ex I purchased ...

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: PRICE, 4X4!! Safety, Standard Features (Did I mention PRICE???)

Great Value

by bobmerkt
Dec 22 '05 

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Finish, Interior, Warranty, Standard equipment, environmental system, quietness, transmission, tires, brakes.
Cons: Needs a little more power and some better tuning of the steering.
The Bottom Line: If you want a real SUV and you want value and not a tall standing station wagon with big tires that gets poor gas mileage, this is worth test driving.

I have been very pleased with this 2005 SUV with its rugged construction and great looks. I studied this car carefully and bought a top of line with near all the bells and whistles. This vehicle is a truck with very nice interior and a quiet smooth ...

From Mercedes to KIA

by schmeddley
Oct 01 '05 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price, styling, drive appeal, Michelin tires, tinted windows, sound system, very functional, drivers possition.
Cons: Dealers are low end, not leanding to boost the name of KIA.
The Bottom Line: If you want a stylish midsized SUV, drive a KIA Sorento. The Rav4 and the CRV are fine choices but much more expensive with half the warentee and options.

KIA "the power to surprise" this consumer is so far... My main concern was resale value and the unestablished name of KIA Motors. But after finding I could not "give" my used Mercedes E class away, resale value became not such a concern. I like my 05 ...

Great Value for money

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Looks, ride, value for money.
Cons: More headroom, steering wheel controls don't light up at night, more horsepower like 07 models.
Bought mine new in 05 and very happy with it. Good looks remind you of more expensive SUV's like Lexus or Mercedes. $20k price tag hard to beat with $5k savings over equivalent Toyota/Honda models. Engine quiet yet responsive, love the tiptronic

I am driving this car since last 3 months now and found it very much comfortable in all senses and the best thing I love in this SUV is its tiptronic gears and I was really amazed seeing this feature in US$21K priced SUV. The sound system is of very

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: I like it all.
Cons: None I can think of.
For a little over $21K, this is an unbelievable SUV. It looks great, handles great and rides great. The seats are very comfortable and the interior is quiet. Nicely appointed, especially with the Sport Package. The paint is a decent thickness so it

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Price, warranty, tires, standard features
Cons: gas mileage
The Kia Sorento has all of the features that an SUV costing over $30,000 would have and Kia warranties the powertrain for 100,000 miles. Even if this car was a piece of junk it's more the dealers problem than the owner. The Sorento is also one of the
