My 1st SUV

I would highly recommend a Sorento to anyone looking for a "smallish SUV." After driving a 2-door sports car for 9 years, the jump to an SUV was a dramatic change for me, but I couldn't be happier! The Sorento is such a smooth ride, and the base model has all of the bells & whistles I could possibly need. Just took it on its 1st road trip (600 miles), and it handled beautifully. Around town I average 26- 27 mpg, and easily get 30-31 mpg on the interstate. The mpg sweet spot seems to be between 55-60 mph, and on my road trip I actually bumped the mpg average all the way up to 38.3 mpg at one point!! Obviously fuel economy was the selling point for me, and I honestly couldn't be more satisfied.

Georgia and Drivers win with this KIA

I just took delivery of the 2011 Kia Sorento and if the price doesn't make you smile the car will. I loved the aggressive lines, size and exterior features that made this redesign stand out as the newest competitor on the block. I bought the LX in Titanium Silver with black cloth interior and the Convenience Package. This $1,000 package gave me a lot of extras such as a color back-up camera, back-up sensors, heated seats, fog lights and a roof rack. This is just where the extras start considering the inside is packed full of the latest technology from blue tooth in the steering wheel to a jack for every elctronic I own. If I had to shop for a car all over again Sorento would win again.

Very poor gas mileage

45,XXX update. Sold a Jett TDI to buy this car and loved it until recently when I realized the gas mileage would never climb above 23.5 MPG. For many of you it might be acceptable but that's the good part, when the MN weather comes calling, I can't get above 20 MPG. So maybe you think I stand on the gas peddal, not a chance...we're talking easy 65 mph on the highway and some county roads with a little bit of town driving. With my wife driving it around a small town all week, I pull 18 MPG. I really want to love this car but the gas mileage is terrible. My 2012 VW passat at 10K miles is pulling and easy 33-34 MPG. Sorry Kia, you've lost a customer who really wanted to stay with youl.

Clicking noise

I had my sorento LX since May 2011, I love everything about it except the clicking noise it make everytime I press on the brakes. The noise comes out from the gear box. 3 time I taken the car to the service department and every single time I'm told that It's suppose to be that way. If I wanted a car with a noise I would have walk in to the used car lot. I also want to comment on the service It is horrible, evreytime I take my car for service they take 5 minutes and tell me that there is nothing wrong with my car. I also spoke with Kia Custumer Assitance and they say there is nothing they could do. Is anyone else have the same problem?
