06 Kia Sorento

I love this SUV!! It handles great and the body style is sleek. My husband was not thrilled about buying a Kia at first but the warranty, free oil changes, and standard safety features for the price spoke volumes! It is my best car purchase to date. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone interested in an SUV!

Poor MPG

I have no problem with the car other than the MPG is really poor. I get around 16 in the City and around 21 on the Highway. With today's gas prices that hurts. It is comfortable, but wish there was more adjustment options in the driver and passenger front seats.

Great vehicle but gas mileage has been lower than expected. 17-18 on the highway.

An Awesome Buy

Bought this on Saturday and went off roading on Sunday. It did great over the different dirt and rock roads. The seats could use a little more padding for me, but over all we were very happy with this purchase. This was a great purchase for Arizona and we look forward to taking it out again for more adventures. I only wish this was a 7 person vehicle so that we could take all 5 boys out offroading.

Do NOT BUY!

I bought my Sorento new in 2006. Within 2 months of driving it off the lot, I had to replace a tire. At the 3 month mark, the check engine light began coming on repeatedly. In 4 years, I have gone through 2 and a half sets of tires, several tail lights and headlamps. NOW, my air compressor went out and the dealership wants $800+ to fix. Although this is an affordable car initially, it will cost you in the long run. It looks nice, but is not fuel efficient and it makes random noises when you are driving. I regret trading my Corolla for this. I will be getting another Toyota ASAP!
