Used 2005 Kia Sorento SUV Consumer Reviews
Great SUV
I purchased one of these fully loaded and we have loved it! We have 47,000 miles on it now and it's been just great. It pulled our two pwc's with no issues and goes everywhere (on or off- road).
Great Deal!!
I have been driving a compact car for almost 10 years so this purchase was a major adjustment. I like the interior size, the quiet ride, the powertrain warranty, and the overall style of the vehicle.

Reliable Gas Guzzler
I had a 2-door Honda Accord before this so I was not prepared for the cost of gas to fill this tank. It is a drain on my wallet and I'm looking to sell and go back to a car. It's a good looking car, pretty fun to drive (except for eying the fuel tank gauge). Very good in the snow, I'll miss the reliability of driving up a hill in snow and not worrying about getting stuck. Bought it w/ 32k miles, I've put 12k on it, still under warranty, had a couple check engine lights that turned out to be the gas tank O2 sensors. rear light bulb went out, fixed it myself for $2. If I was an SUV driver and didn't care about gas mileage, I'd keep the Sorento, but I'm not so it has to go.
I love my Sorento!
My husband purchased the 2005 Kia Sorento for me as a Christmas gift and I love it! It looks like a much more expensive SUV and it drives like one,too. I needed the room but did not want to look like I was driving a bus. I have gotten so many compliments on my Sorento - people always think it is a Lexus SUV. When they realize it is not they are surprised. The warranty that Kia provides is one of the best out there. I had an Optima before this car and love the Kia products and I knew that I wanted something bigger and I wanted it to be a another Kia. We found out that the digital clocks had been recalled and needed to be replaced so anyone with a problem just contact your dealer to get a new one.
Kia has it
I started looking at Sorento's to help a female friend that thought she needed help shopping for one. I went to several dealers and looked around. I was impressed by the look, which looks strikingly like a Lexus RX, and by the acceleration. It handles quite well. And has good storage. It starts quickly like it is anxious to get on the road and go. I liked it so much, I bought one! And two friends liked it so much one has bought one, and other is likely going to buy one.
