Update: we’ve had the car since Feb. 2017. It continues to be reliable. It has developed some rattles that are apparent with colder temperatures. Update: Two years later we are still very pleased with the car. Original review: We are very pleased with this vehicle. It provides a very planted, quiet and smooth driving experience. All the bells and whistles are appreciated including the warnings which are very helpful to aging drivers. We researched this vehicle for over two months including Mazda CX-9 (handles great but less substantial and sub-par navi/entertainment), Honda CRV (smaller, intrusive lane keeping assist), Honda Pilot (top end 9 speed tranny has a bad rep and too high to enter/exit), Suburu Outback (entertainment system sub-par, noisier 4 cyl., 6 cyl harder to steer) and Highlander (runner-up, great vehicle but no Apple CarPlay and less luxury features). The Sorento has great acceleration for an SUV (V6), handles reasonably well considering its size and gets good gas mileage (typically 24-28 highway, 19-22 around town). We leave it in normal mode, seeing little/no difference with ECO mode in gas mileage. Beyond the basic character of the vehicle we like the adapted cruise control, heated steering wheel and seats, ventilated seats in hot weather, and the navi/entertainment system (easy to pair phones, Apple Carplay, Google search using phone hotspot and KIA navigation, and the appearance is very appealing).

Really loving this car

After shopping also shopping the Highlander, Pilot, and CX-9, we found the Sorento to be the most comfortable, quietest, and second-best handling and looking. (The CX-9 was our top choice in those categories.) When you added in the fantastic warranty, the strong CR reliability ratings, and the zero APR, the Sorento was a no-brainer for us. We opted for the SX with the Advanced Technology package and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

This is the first vehicle we've owned with all these new safety features. While it takes some getting used to, it's a super nice vehicle, and I don't think we'd ever need to pay more for what's considered a luxury vehicle. We already have it!

Giving KIA a try

Owned the 2017 KIA SXL 2 weeks now. Traded in a 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited. This was the second Highlander we've owned before trading. First of all the KIA has twice the warranty of the Highlander, This Kia is not a cheap car, in fact, I could have bought a comparable Highlander for about the same monies. But this KIA is every bit the vehicle the Highlander was, in fact, I'm more impressed with its quality build.
