Fantastic car to drive. Lots of room!!!!! I've received lots of positive remarks from friends and family about the comfort and great ride. Only negative...the rear door hatch only works manually.

I shopped around for a couple of months and this dealership ordered in the color an option combintation that I wanted. So far I am getting about 19 MPG with mixed driving.V6 has plenty of power,but the transmission holds 4th gear too long.The heated seats are great and it drives really well in the snow.I thought the stock tires would be worthless,but so far they do well in winter weather.The ride is a little firm,but softens some with more cargo.The built in trailer hitch and wiring is great and it tows really well.I think mine had been sitting for a while because there was some rust on the chrome lug nuts upon delivery.Overall a great vehicle for the money and a fairly gnarly 4 wheeler.

Traded a 2003 Explorer, Rear end failed at 76000...Understand this is big problem with ford limited silp 4x4. Wanted a Huge warranty, Kia 10 years 100,000 drivetrain and 5 year bumper to bumper...25,000 with leather seating, looks goods drives good...and I sleep at night not worrying about big repair bills! Salesman said watch the maintance scedule; have proof and no one can say no to repairs. Goodnite I sleep like a baby!

Best Value For The $$

I bought mine used with 96,000 miles. It's now at 298,000 miles. I've spent less that $3,000 in repairs! Around 200,000 the interior door handles and the tailgate latch started giving out, guess the fact they're plastic comes into play at that point. The only quirk is that this rig goes through lightbulbs (turn signals, brake lights) a little faster than most, but it's a minor inconvenience. I guess they only made the Borrego 1 year because it's too durable??

GREAT WORK KIA

Just purchased this truck after extensive research and review reading. Truck is great. Visibility is outstanding. Styling is sharp. Vehicle handles like a car. Only down side is the transmission is definitely gear wrong. Shifts to quick, but what I have found is kia has done this on purpose to help stop people like me from flooring it and wasting all that gas. When truck gets going it has balls. Features that come standard are extensive. Kia good job! I would buy this in a heart beat if I had to do it all over. Such a fun car to drive.
