I purchased my Sorento in January and have had no issues. I get 25mpg around town and 29mpg on the highway, much better than my Sedona. Many family trips and it's delivered on all the promises.
So Far So Good

We traded a Honda CRV (excellent car) in for a new Kia Sorento SX AWD V6, largely because we needed more power to pull a small trailer. So far, we are pleased with the Sorento, which seems luxurious compared to the Honda. It is much quieter (less road noise) and the V6 engine has great acceleration. Still getting used to all the bells and whistles. Some of the controls are not inuitive. Many adjustments, like the mirrors, cannot be made unless the car is in Park. We do not need 3rd row seating, and would have rather had a bit more storage back there, but it was not an option on our model. Have not pulled the trailer yet. So far we get about 20 MPG for city/commuting and about 25 highway.

This car is great, I was first going to get an older model BMW SUV (the X-5 or X-3), no comparrison, the Sorrento its so much nicer and you get more for your money. Its a great looking car and it drives great. I definitely recommended.
Love my 2012 Sorento SX!

The best: Very spacious and a lot of technology on board, comfortable and silent. Very versatile for riding on difficult roads and on very stable asphalt. The worst: They have a factory defect in both: the engine and the automatic transmission box. After the 80 thousand km traveled they begin to give this problem. I had to replaced both systems due to the factory problem, the engine at 104 thousand km and the transmission at 127 thousand km. They tell me that the Hyundai Santa Fe of that same year has the same factory defect.
