I love my Kia Sorento V6!! Never thought I would purchase Kia but after disappointment over Subaru, I thought I test drive Kia Sorento and boy was I surprised! The vehicle drives like a german car. Very solid, smooth, great horse power and love the sharp look of both exterior and the interior. Kia Sorento V6 is better than BMW 5X. Why? Better performance, better price and sharp looking. I was really surprised how well the vehicle drove. It has everything that the BMW 5X. I am extremely happy with the vehicle.

Warning! Under investigation for faulty engine

Car had 88 k miles. Defective part under investigation with national highway traffic safety. Auto lube to timing chain faulty causing chain to break and completely destroy engine. Engine replacement not available due to investigation. Kia corp wants u to bring to their shop to "investigate" at your cost. Do not go. They will cover up defect. Instead file complaint with dept above. 20 have filed complaints so far all at 90k or below miles. 100k warranty not valid because Kia try's to Blaim on owner for lack of oil changes even though u submit proof. Also warranty not valid for 2nd owner over 60k miles. Car also has several dangerous recalls. Beautiful car but made out of tin and duct tape it seems. I will never buy a Kia again.

Kia does not stand behind it's product. My mothers 2013 Sorento had engine failure at 80,000 miles. The car was regularly serviced and she only drove it to work and back. Kia says that even though they have a 100,000 mile warrenty they can not honer that because she bought the car used 3 years ago. Kia has tons of lawsuits against them right now for this reason. Please research before buying.

Good, solid if unspectacular car

Having now driven this car as a primary for 27k miles, this car is a good one. Easy to work on, even if you're a backyard mechanic. Lots of room, even for a family of six (all small children). Downside, there's not a real trunk space if you have the third row. Positives, plenty of extras even on the base model, pre-drilled holes for mounting aftermarket towing kits and side rails, plus it gets better gas mileage than a minivan. So far, no major maintenance has been needed.
