Used 2009 Kia Borrego Consumer Reviews
highly satisfied
I was looking at suv type vehicles. Also Honda Ridgeline. I had not seen the Borrego advertised. Saw it on the lot. Went back, checked it out. I bought it and it did have a good discount. I am happier so far with this vehicle then any of my past vehicles. 3.8 plenty of power. Does downshifts abruptly when giving it gas. I am getting used to that. Ride good. You know it is a truck type frame over large bumps. This also means it will carry a load with no problem. Dash layout and control are the the best I have seen. Everything is easy to find and use including the radio. I am very satisfied and think they should keep selling it in the USA. When the word get out they will sell.
Love this SUV. Amazing performance and comfort
Just bought a V6 with over 200k. on the odo. Wasn't expecting such a great performance. Great SUV, Drives great, powerful, very comfortable. AND CHEAP ON GAS!!! Has it all

Blessed with this one-WILL NOT SELL
Great SUV- Overall safety- handles well- Roomy 3 seats - Leather awesome- Although 2009 - Te sleek style still match with other styles similar to it.Tough vehicle. A bit slippery in rain - No indicator for lights out - Back tailgate latch has broken twice in 3 years 2 under warranty and now more than 500 to fix again and door latches on passenger and drivers seat are out . Is there a recall for the latches. I refuse to fix bc over $500 at dealer. Overall, Always asked what is it. Sometimes hard to find parts and always asked to trade in. Blessed for this great outdoor, family , fishing , vehicle wish the tailgate worked cant afford to fix or the side handles.No navigation, No Bluetooth, no backup camera. Radio finally fading with CD player.Tows very well. #Blessed I use the audio plug for bluetooth

First Kia and Impressed
Purchased an LX about a month ago after seeing a newspaper ad. Was looking to buy a slightly used SUV, but was able to buy my new Borrego for only a couple grand more. Out-the-door price was about $24K after rebate and discount. The strong engine and brake perform flawlessly. Transmission, however, sometimes hesitates. Fuel economy is a little disappointing at 16+ MPG (mostly city). The interior is mostly quiet, and ride is good except over rough pavement. It can get jarring, and mine rattles a bit in the back area. All controls are laid out intuitively. I wasn't sure about the red-lit center stack, but it's actually quite soothing at night. Overall, I'm satisfied with Borrego.
A great vehicle
This is a great vehicle, really fun to drive on road or off. We upgraded from a RAV4 (too small) and weren't disappointed. Fuel economy improved greatly after a few long highway rides, and the rear fold down seats give lots of storage space for skis, dogs, groceries etc. It handles well in all road conditions, has a really comfortable ride for all passengers, and there is lots of room in the 3rd row seats for adults. We've had a few minor problems - door open sensor, a NOC sensor, programmable seat button doesn't work for position 2 but that's it. My only concern is that I have yet to see any other Borrego's on the road - I know they are out there somewhere, i'll just keep looking....
