Do your homework. The only things I miss in the technology area is a compass, the front passenger seat has no height adjustment, remote start is not standard equipment. There is a lot of stuff I will never use. We were looking for an SUV with lots of leg room in front and this has it, an impressive 44 inches. Way more than others, even Jeep. Another selling point was the 60,000 mile warranty. Mileage is outstanding. I drive mostly highway and am averaging 31-33 mpg combined in Eco Mode. On my way home from the dealership I was in Standard Mode and got 31.8 mpg for the 75 mile trip. Overall we love this vehicle. Comfortable and quiet. Winter in Iowa will be the real test! Update: It will soon be 2 years, we still love this Sorento. No issues whatsoever. I thought there was an issue with heater fan, took it in and the compartment was full of acorns! Simple fix! Darn ground squirrels! Will keep it for a long time.

We drove Chevy's, Ford's, Honda's & Toyota's and liked the Kia Sorento the best. The car is rated higher than the rest in safety & reliability and has a far better warranty as well. The comfort and passenger room in the front seat is far better than the other brands. My wife did all of the homework, drove and rode in all of the other brands and Kia got the sale. If you don't believe it, go drive one and see. Now we have 6,000 miles on the Kia 11/3/16 and all is well, my wife still loves it. Have had it a year now and there are things I don't like. I don't like the console opening from the front instead of from the drivers side. If you try and get anything out of it while driving, it's difficult. I really don't like all of the electronics they put in cars these days. I am really tired of having to break out the manual to find out how to change the clock or do most anything.

I bought the best KIA available and I have not been disappointed. I drove nearly every similarly sized SUV in existence and nothing compares in terms of value. I definitely recommend the V-6 version, its much more fun to drive and, I believe, much safer. As an added bonus, I was treated like a human being at the dealership and it was a pleasurable experience compared to some to which I have been exposed. If there is a downside ...it will probably take quite a while to master all of the technology in this car. Now two years into my driving experience with my KIA and I an still a fan. The best thing is that everything works as advertised...the only thing I have had to do is keep up with the scheduled maintenance.

looked at several others including the Honda crv and the Subaru forrester and couldn't believe the additional size and value in this car. I have 2000 miles on it since it was leased and I love it. the interior materials are not cheap but very soft and rich looking. the controls while incorporating touch technology still have a lot of buttons and dials which I personally love. great sounding satellite radio and the noise level from outside is minimal. I have the 240 horse turbo and was concerned with the low milage epa estimates for the car thinking I would be lucky to get 22-23 miles per gallon. I changed the selection for the engine to echo mode when I drove it home and it has been there ever since. I have the awd and I have consistently averaged 25 + miles since new. I have not had any lack of power in this mode and will continue to leave it there. back seats very roomy and had three adults back there going out to eat the other night with no issues. back storage area very large also. another nice feature which I haven't had to use yet is the locking hub mode for deep snow etc. great car at a wonderful price.

I purchased this car because of the value and the bells and whistles the car has to offer. Everywhere I go: work, pleasure, people stop and admire my vehicle. I live in the Tahoe (California) area, where we had an epic snow season last winter. The vehicle was just gliding thru the snow covered roads, no sliding, no worries. I do highly recommend the vehicle.
