I did my research and test drove almost every mid-size SUV under $50,000. After a year of looking, I kept coming back to the Kia Sorento SX Limited AWD. It fits my needs like a glove made just for me. It's sporty, sexy, luxurious yet still has the power to tow 5,000 lbs and cargo space to help a friend move or bring lumber home from the hardware store. The Sorento has the best turning diameter out of all the SUVs - do a donut (slowly, of course) and feel the difference it makes turning into a parking space! I'm a little short and if I had two wishes to make it better - it would be to reduce the height of getting in and out of the vehicle and changing the driver's seat headrest, minor details for such an amazing SUV.

Surprised by Gas Mileage

I bought a V-6 Kia Sorento in September. Because I commute 90 miles per day, I was worried about going from a 4 cylinder Fusion that averaged 30 mpg to this SUV that was projected to get 17-22 mpg. I have been pleasantly surprised to see that my average mpg is 27 mpg - much better than what was projected. The highest I've had so far was 30 mpg. Besides the mileage, I love the comfort of this car. It feels soo luxurious to me with the leather seats. It's so spacious too. Backseat passengers are almost as comfortable as the front seat passengers! The car seems to handle very well and I pretty much drive it in Eco mode all the time and it has plenty of power. I drove it on vacation in the mountains and it had no problems with it's handling. So far, I really love this car.

Great SUV Except Mediocre Steering

Love the car except for one important issue - the new electric steering system. We had a 2016 Sorento SXL for only 5 mos. before that was totaled when a driver ran a stop sign. We replaced with 2017 Sorento SXL One of the key decisions on the 2016 KIA was the great steering system. Unfortunately, the steering in the 2017 vehicle is a bit disappointment. KIA changed the steering in the 2017 vehicle (upper level models) to an electric steering system. The new system lacks any "road feel". Furthermore, one is constantly making minor steering adjustments which is annoying at a minimum, but is dangerous if you look away for an quick look at something as the car immediately starts to wander. The dealer confirmed today that they are aware of the problem but there is no fix available to date. Hopefully there will be an updated software package in the future to correct the problem; however, until a fix is available. I have learned that using the "Sports" steering option provides a better steering feel and makes my evaluation acceptable.

Electronics a problem

The BSD console has a problem and it does not register in the car's computer. The manufacturer is reluctant to repair it. We will return the car under the Lemon law after 3 months if they refuse to repair it.
