We have loved our 2013 Kia. Comfortable seats, flexible layout for traveling/packing. This earlier model is not plagued by the security issues of newer models that have been taken for joy rides. We were also drawn in by the 200K mile engine warranty. But then around 100k miles we took our car in for a routine oil change. No oil!! Our light didn’t alert us oil was low and there were no leaks in our garage to indicate there was a problem. Newer models were recalled for internal engine issues that were burning oil inside the engine. Ours was not part of the recall but obviously had the same issue. We’ve spent a year checking oil and refilling. Now we have to add oil every 300 miles, yet Kia refuses to replace the engine. Still no lights or puddles under the car. At 120k we should not have to worry about our engine konking out if we want to take a longer drive. We are calling it quits. We will not buy a Kia ever again.

I recently made the decision to get a moore spacious vehicle. My girlfriend recently purchased a RAV4, and we both found that vehicle outstanding. I wanted a little more room, and I also didnt want 2 of the same cars. I have been driving a BMW 5 Series Wagon for the past few years, and driving is a passion for me. I also have a Corvette. Researched and test drove several SUV's, some larger than the Sorento. The KIA was the overall winner, hands down. Definately go with the V6, the milage is almost identical, and the performance is a big step up. The size is just right, larger than most SUV crossovers, but not a tank.

Got your Attention, I hope so . 2.4 AWD w/ 9000miles convenience package. Heres the deal, this car runs and drives great. Road noise I place in the top ten for quiet. Handling is very good, I like firm but nibble. The transmission while in the ECO mode hunts more than my golden retriever, I thought my toyota shifted a lot, trying to keep that ECO light on is a trick but doable why I dont know. The beige interior stains very easily DO NOT drop a french fry. The fuel mileage indicator on the dash says what I thinks its supposed to 18-20city 26-29 on the highway. With a average of 22.5 to24.

Bought a slightly used Kia with like 40,000 at 87000 miles the engines went out we took it in to get it replaced and at first they where going to replaced it because we bought it used. After fighting with them they said they would replaced it. It took 6 moths to get it fixed. Then 7 months later the transmission went out on it. And of course they are not going to replaced it because it now is barley over 100000 miles. So thats costing us $2400 to replace and its is a used transmissions. This year of Kia is junk.Well at least the 4cyl ones are can not speak of the 6cyl engines.

I really like this car. It looks good and the ride is smooth and very quite. The V6 has good get up and go. I test drove the 4 cylinder GTL and felt it lacked power. This model comes fully loaded and has great features. It doesn't however get the stated gas mileage. I get around 22 in the city and 24 - 25 highway. I recommend this car for the price and the warranty but it would be an awesome car with a few tweaks.

Bought this about 4 days ago after researching most all SUV's. I went with the Sorento for style, price, and the cargo area. So far im pleased with the handling, GDI engine is peppy enough off the line and gets up to freeway speeds quick enough. Wish i had a power seat and outside temp indicator. Gas mileage so far is exactly as advertised, 22-23 city, Highway 31-32, and mixed about 25-26.
