Excellent First Impressions

2012 Kia Sorento LX 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Our first 1000 KM's have been a delight, with the 3.5 V6 giving outstanding performance - both in acceleration/smoothness/quietness and fuel economy. Fuel mileage appears as advertised - ie. city 27 and highway 37 MPG imperial.
Being calibrated for Canada, our first tank showed 9.5 L/100 KM or 30 MPG, all around driving, mostly local with A/C on.
A steady 90 KPH indicated 6.8 L/100 KM. … We have yet to measure this in actual terms upon careful fill-ups, but indications are good.
Brakes are just right, ride is smooth and quiet, but somewhat harsh on rough roads.
Trade-off is great cornering.
Fit and finish is excellent.
Dealer treatment first class.
Time will tell reliability.
surprised with the kia

needed a new car for my family of three> dont make very much money so it was all about the price range. after doing our share of research nuthin came close to the style and warranty that kia offers.i battled with the chevy equinox but would of spent more money for less of a vehicle> asked chevy can you explain why i should buy your chevy? theyre responce"its a chevy" wasnt good enough so … WE went with the smart choice. so far so good>getting lots of compliments on the style and price we ended up spending. only time will tell how my sorento will perform but im focusing on the positive cuz any car can brake down!!!!! question is do u feel ripped off my answser is no

2012 Kia Sorento LX 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Just bought this car the end of August. I have now reached my first 1000 miles. I have had no problems with this vehicle in any way. Great on gas. I do mostly highway averaging 35 miles per day. 1 full tank of gas has lasted me all 7 days, and even have enough fuel to get me through the rest of my week. No problems with interior and
exterior. So far, this is the best car i have owned for … some time. I get huge compliments from family, friends and co-workers, even the big boss. No regrets yet.
Incredible Value !

2012 Kia Sorento LX 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I was looking for a SUV to replace my Saturn Vue--the
2012 Sorento is more than I expected
I have the LX- V6--performance is great and gas mileage with 6 speed auto gives overall 27.5/28 miles per gallon combined--who's complaining not me!
The Sorento has a great warranty and
was also more coverage than expected.
I liked the FACT that it was made in Georgia, Go USA!
Drive out on … the 2012 was $25,500 includes TT&L and $2000 down--No trade in.
