So far I am very impressed with my Sorento. A perfect size 4x4 for me. Fit and finish is excellant. Good ride. I am getting 16 mpg around town. I drive 99 % around town, the other 1% frwy, and off road in the desert. I received $ 5000 off MSRP. Great price for a better than average 4x4. The warranty was the deal closer. Can't beat it. I would truly recommend a KIA to anyone.

We bought our 2005 Sorento two months ago and love it. Short of a brake lamp going out, we have had no problems whatsoever. The interior space is ample and we absolutely love the styling. More than once people have commented, "Wow, I can't believe that's a Kia." We'd highly recommend this SUV for anyone with a small family.

Vehicle is great! I traded a GMC Jimmy for the Sorento and have not been sorry. Vehicle is fun to drive and performs better than my GMC in the snow. It is very comfortable on long trips.

We were owners of a Kia Sportage. We loved it, but really needed something bigger. We simply LOVE this car. It is very classy looking and reliable. It is a great value for what you get! We never had any problems with warranty work on the Sportage, and the same has been true for the Sorento. We are very happy Kia owners! When we first bought the Sportage in 99... everyone wanted to know what it was! Nobody had even heard of Kia at the time! :-) My only regret is the lack of third row seats.
