The Sorento has been great. Over 50,000 miles and no problems. The V6 is the best. It gives me all the power I need on the Highways. MPG is still high and I get nearly 30 on highways. The SUV still looks great. I just had it inspected, synthetic oil change, Kia oil filter and tires rotated. I check all fluids Often as well as tire air pressure.

I got this SUV used with 28 thou miles. The V-6 is great. For any larger vehicles a V6 is needed. Acceleration and passing is no problem. The electronics are great. I don't use the cellular phone connection , but it's there to be used. The radio is good with very good speakers. I never use the third row seats, but they would only be good for small children. The GPS is good to have and I use it a lot. It's not as good as it should be. The upgrade is too expensive. I only use OEM oil filters and Mobil 1 oil. I rotate the tires once a year when the oil is changed. I drive less than 6000 miles a year . The backup camera is good to have, but it gets fogged up in bad weather. I don't use the heated or air conditioned seats. Dont like the idea of having hot wires under my rear. This SUV has a lot of road noise on the highways. Worst of all is the very hard ride. I replaced the tires, but that didn't help much. Over all I like the SUV and it's very pretty in the Silver color.

First, let me tell you that I'm picky. I've owned a lot of vehicles, from cars, to Suv's, to pickup trucks. I love to drive, and the Auto Shows are my Disney World. I wanted a lot for my money and I wanted a well made vehicle that will last. I got what I wanted so far. 6,000 miles so far and not 1 issue. Do I get advertised MPG? No, but I never have on any vehicle I've owed. I didn't get the V6 because I wanted great MPG's. (even the Honda fit I use as company car doesn't get advertised MPG) Anyway, I researched, I test drove, and I got exactly what I expected. Very happy with my decision!

We chose the 3.5L engine because the 4 cy was a little lazy, not much difference for mileage. We do mostly in city driving, avg has been 19.2 MPG. The 3.5 engine is noisy but has a lot of power, instant response, smooth riding and quiet once we changed out the oem tires. We special ordered the Sorento EX V6 WITHOUT the 3rd seat option. It is very small and just thought we would do without it. We bought in in 2012 even though it was a 2013. Fit and finish is holding up, no oil consumption, transmission shifts effortlessly.

Purchased 1 month ago and couldn't be happier. Fit and finish is impressive. It's not too big,not too small. Turning radius is Excellent. Handles great for what it is. V6 has great pick up. Is it perfect? No, but no vehicle is. The ride is Euro firm (which dosen't bother me and the trade off is better handling). MPG is OK, but not anything to write home about- of course I didn't get the V6 for good gas mileage and I've never gotten advertised MPG's on any vehicle I've owned. 20-21mpg with my lead foot. The only thing I don't like is road and wind noise- that's it.
