105K miles and it threw a rod, now it's as worthless as that 10 year /100K mile warranty. Never missed an overpriced, scheduled maintenance or 30K mile service. A lot of good it did me.

You have to drive this vehicle. Powerful, fun, and looks great. The transmission is awesome, it's manual and automatic so you can pick your gear. Plenty of room for moving what I need, but not a land yacht with a lot of wasted space.

BEST SUV EVER!

You can't buy any SUV for this price with all of the options and performance it offers! The 4WD system is a "true" off-road system unlike the AWD systems found on the CR-V and Pilot. The engine has tons of power and is perfect for towing my boat. The 4WD has been great for the Michigan winters and great gas mileage for an SUV. I am very impressed with my first Kia and it certainly won't be my last!

I've had my Sorento for 2 weeks now and I love it! It's so much fun to drive. There's plenty of room, however the vehicle itself doesn't feel too big or "trucky". It's handles great and the styling inside and out is awesome (take a look at the Lexus SUVs, aside from the emblems they're almost identical to the Sorento).

Apparently this year's model has a known issue with the rear differential. I had to get it fixed right after I bought it, in 2013. And it's gone bad again and I am forced to have to buy a different car because the cost to replace the rear differential ($1500-$2000) is more than what the car is actually worth. The car is comfortable to drive and suited my needs to haul stuff and transport large dogs for my business. The shifting is off, though. For some reason, whenever I get up to 40mph, there is a severe stutter in the timing. I have to let off the gas for a moment, then punch it in order to get past the stutter. My mechanic friend took a look at it and thinks it has something to do with the electrical. I'm not really sure what he meant by that, though. The gas mileage averaged 20mpg. And since I ran out of gas once (for the first -- and hopefully last -- time in my life), I figured out that once the gas light goes on, you have exactly 2 gallons left (40 miles) before you run out of gas.
