2004 EX 4WD

I just purchased a 2004 Sorento EX 4WD with luxury package, ABS, and spoiler. The car was for my wife who had fallen in love with the Sorento. I must say that for the 48 hours I've had it I'm very pleased. The build quality seems excellent. We have the EX with luxury package so it has all the bells and whistles. Pretty fun to drive, but I haven't taken it off road yet. I'll update my reviews after I've got some more miles on her. I rated reliability as a 5 because of the short time I owned the car.

Little compared to a Pathfinder or Escalade, etc (4x4 World), but overall fun and easy to drive and dart around town. Simple to park too. A bit plain in appearance but stylish enough to be modern. The warrenty can't be beat. The total package is cheaper then the competition (c'mon Leather, all time 4WD, even Radio Controls for crying out loud!). Safety is a factor, 6 air bags ensure it! I have to put a 5 in Build Quality and Reliability, with it being new I can't honestly judge it. Yet. Not bad for a Korean manufacture, now if only my Samsung TV was just as solid.

I really love my KIA sorento.. I only have a few complaints. On a suv this loaded, I can't believe that there is no outside temp. gauge. I also think the key needs to come into the new millenium. Make the key and remote one piece. Such as the audi/VW. I am a former vw owner and i loved that key combo.. Overall I really love my sorento..Time will tell..:)

My Sorento is fun to drive and very comfortable. I did a little research before purchasing one, and it ranks with some of the best out there.

I am very unhappy with my 2004 Kia Sorento First the water overflow tank went bad, both sides of the front end had to be replaced, multiple sensors. the head lights and tails lights continually go out. We have had to get the air charge the last 3 years and now it doesn't work at all and I still owe 3 months worth. Can't wait to be done with this lemon!
