Used 2011 Kia Sorento SUV Consumer Reviews
10 Month Review...whew!!
Purchased the car in March 2010. We currently have 8,200 miles on the car. It has gone through 1 Recall (lighting issue in door panels) and 1 service repair on rear window (would not go up or down) had to tape window up. The power regulator on the window had to be replaced. Those are the only service issues we've had. Whew!! The average fuel economy we get is 21.8 MPG. We took it on a 2,500 mile drive earlier in the 2010 and saw 25.8 mpg. Not bad considering we traded a 2007 Mazda CX-9 AWD that got 20 mpg no matter how we drove. All in all this car is a good bargain for the amenities that come standard. Lost the Euphoria about 2 months in tho. The Mazda held it for 3 years.
Well made in America
We have owned it for 18 months and have 28,500 miles. Not one problem yet, except some minor recalls. I really like the leather, climate controls, navi is just as good as Lexus. Great 3rd row when you need it. This car is perfect for our family and has done well on long trips.

Carr roll over, NO PROBLEM
My 2011 Kia Sorento is THE to be in if unfortunate to be in a roll-on r accident!!! A car hit my right passenger side of car do hard it flipped over two times. The car landed upside down, next to fire hydrant. The seat belt held me tightly in place as I rolled. When they pulled me out, I didn't have a single scratch and walked away. All air bags deployed except steering wheel. Not sure why that one didn't. I'm not complaining. I felt safe through it all. I called it the tank before accident.its a sound car.

Solid Value,
Shopped/drove $19-23K competition(used Edge, Mariner, CX7, CR-V, Pilot, Highlander, old MDX), we drove both 4/6 cyl Sorento. Kia dealer experience better than expected. Ultimately new Sorento V6 LX final price was competitive with other cars that were 4 years old and had 30-40K miles. Kia 100K mile warranty is world class. Have 1500 miles. Would give car a solid B. Ride is compliant but a bit tough over pot holes. Comfort is very good. V6 engine is strong, idle is not perfect, gas mileage only fair. Visibility from drivers seat takes getting used to, but mirrors are big. Base radio has good features but only fair fidelity. Bluetooth not solid. Got third seat, still good room. So Far So Good.
KIA Sorento SX w/ 6 cyl. hit a Home Run
I have through my years bought many vehicles from compact to full size trucks. Through my travels have rented many different vehicles as well. This car is impressive, no matter how one rates it. Bought it new off the truck loaded in deep red ext./gray int. This bad boy has the ponies to get up to speed easily without killing gas mileage and hold any speed you want, with passing a breeze. The interior is stylish and easy to find any button without over-reach. This has the NAV as well and works better than my Honda Pilot and CR-V I once had. Can't say enough about this car. Do yourself a favor and test drive a SX! You can find more powerful and more expensive cars, but not more impressive.
