Faulty ac compresser
2008 Kia Sorento EX needed a new AC compressor after 52,000 miles. This is crazy!!!
Reliable SUV despite previous reviews!
Can’t believe some mix reviews. This Mid/Small Size SUV is a tank. The 3.3L V6 engine is great. Mine has just over 160,000 miles and is still running good. My advice to anyone that wants to keep their vehicle for long is that keep taking it to maintenance time to time and it will last longer. This one for me is a keep !

Great price,geat ride
Bought the 09 Serreno new, Vehicle go 400 miles or more every tank, runs great and has good power. Rear seat leg room is better than other suv's this size. only thing I would add is a foot operated emergency brake and do away with the hand operated one this would add a little more room. Also would add a compass and outside temp. feature to all models.
Buyer's Remorse
This is a gorgeous loaded vehicle, I got all the bells & whistles in this model. BUT if you're commuting like I do, 120 miles a day + up to 20 in errands on lunch etc, it's horrible on gas. I'm filling up every other day and gas is going up. I traded in my 8 yr old Hyundai Elantra because I have 3 kids, 2 in car seats and a 12 year old who didn't fit in the back. The KIA is better, but still a super tight fit w/2 car seats and a 3rd child. The space isn't as "spacious" as I hoped for. I'm trading it in this weekend for a 4cyl car. I can't afford the gas, I'm averaging 18.3 mpg which is good for it, but I didn't realize how quickly it's used up. If I could afford the gas, I'd keep the vehicle.
Not bad, could be better
I traded a sedan for the Sorento. I use it to transport bikes and dogs (one of which is a 75 lb. Greyhound) and commute to work. I wanted a vehicle that sat higher than a car and had plenty of cargo room. I drive combined city/highway and get 22.5 mpg. I've had trouble with the passenger airbag-my brother (140 lb.) has ridden with me and one minute the airbag sensor screen shows it's on, then a few minutes later it's off. Doesn't exactly make you feel safe. There's a rattle (already) on the driver's side that the dealership fixed, then a few weeks later it came back.
