Bang for the Buck Truck

After looking at lots of V6 midsized SUVs, I bought an `08 Sorento LX two weeks ago and have been very happy with it--once I tracked down a rattle up front and a chain-like jingle coming from somewhere in the rear. The rattle was caused by the garage door opener compartment. I fixed it by putting two washcloths in it, which put some pressure on the plastic door, as well as providing some sound baffling. The chain-like jingle was coming from the latch on the rear hatch. Some silicone lubricant put an end to that. With those initial annoyances out of the way, I was free to enjoy the refined character of the Sorento--great looks, good performance, unmatched value. This truck is a real deal.

Got a very good deal on my 2008 Kia Sorento. Had less than 90K miles when I bought it in June of 2018. The door handles are not so good, they come off easily. I had my car for less than six months before the alternator went out. Cost me about 300.00 (parts and labor), but so far that's the only thing besides the brakes that need to be repaired. Motor has a slight chain-like/rattle noise, reminds me of a Hyundai. I really don't like the way that the dash is set up, the temperature gauge and gas gauge are way too close. I miss the details of my previous car, I had a Nissan Armada. This car is very basic and a few more up to date features would be helpful.

When in a car accident the correct airbags deployed, came out of car conscious with a few scratches, seatbelt left a mark but other than that the car has been super reliable for the time I had it for. Handling on the car was great and good first car!

My wife and I just purchased our 2008 Kia Sorento. We had a 2006 Nissan Murano and was overwhelmed by the Sorento quality and price. We was able to upgrade to the top of the line including DVD, leather, sunroof etc. We took a couple of days to decide but that's just because of the color of the vehicle (midnight Blue /gray) and we could not be happier with our decision. Key issues was the turning ratio, torque, comfort and style of the exterior and interior. No complaints!
