Used 2009 Kia Borrego Consumer Reviews

Great SUV

A great SUV with bad timing. Compare this with Honda pilot, Ford explorer, or the pathfinder and you will find that the borrego is inside and out. A better buy. Add to that the warranty and you can't go wrong. I hope Kia brings it back in 2011.

Gotta Great Deal !!

Purchased my 2009 Borrego LX 4WD in Nov 2009 for over $7k off the sticker - gotta a great deal at $22,900. We are overall very pleased with this SUV with the exception of gas mileage (about 16 in town). Hope to see improvement as it breaks in. Also, the last gear in the tranny shifts really late, which makes you feel like it is revving too much under certain driving conditions. It is my understanding that this is normal or was designed that way, but still a little annoying. Overall, LOTS of room and comfort. All back seats fold pretty flat making hauling easy. It is a bit cumbersome getting in the 3rd seat, but the middle seats do slide up pretty far. Handles very well!!

Looking to get 350 000 miles

The only negative experience is the hard suspension. The V8 engine is a beaut, smooth and tons of power. The gearbox is silky smooth. Mine is on 170 000 miles the the moment and change the oil every 3000 miles. I did the front bearings as a precaution and also serviced gearbox at about 150 000 miles. Amazing vehicle to drive off road in high and low range.

Mr Big

Awesome SUV

We love the Borrego! Awesome driving experience, great handling, plenty of power, lots of room for the family, tons of safety features, it stacks up well against the Highlander!
