Great car

2014 Kia Sorento SX 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl 6A)

14th car I've owned and my first Kia after owning mostly Fords and Toyotas. I test drove virtually all of the competition and settled on the Sorento as the best combination of size, handling, quiet ride, technology, cargo layout (5-seater) and V6 option. The lengthy warranty helped me make the decision because I'd never paid any attention to Kia in the past and reliability was an unknown. I've driven it about 2,500 km and so far, I'm delighted.

Horrible Unreliable Money Pit

This is without a doubt the worse car I've ever owned. I purchased it at 77K miles, which seems like a low number. (I owned Hondas before this.) OH, my, goodness this car has been nothing but stress and repairs. In the first year alone it's needed 9 repairs, 1 was a whole engine block replacement due to engine failure. I would give anything to get out of this contract without hurting my credit.

99,030 miles to be precise. Engine blown and now nothing more than a paperweight. This was my first (and last) KIA, what a joke. I've owned American brands, Japanese, and German, and never had any of them fail before getting at least 140,000 miles, this piece of junk is an absolute piece of junk.

SuperCar

My 2014 Kia Sorento SXL AWD was a Certified pre-owned leased car with 63K on it. It was loaded. I got a amazing price for it compared to what the sticker showed when new. I have the v-6 engine. I tow a 2900lb. camper with it. It tows great and if I drive at 60mph I get 15mpg. When I'm not towing I get 18-20 city and 19- 24mpg hwy. No problem with the car. I have driven in the snow with it in AWD and it did great with no problems. I like all the safety features it has. It truly is a SuperCar! I now have a 100K miles and it will easily go another 100K. Then I'll buy a Kia truck or flying car!

Used 2014 Kia Sorento???

I thought the car was awesome. There were a few minor glitches that went out on the car, such as the backup Cam went out, the driver automatic seat control stopped working (not the seat but the control, the steering wheel functions stopped working. Other than that, I loved it for the 6 years I had it.
