New Sorento
I love my new vehicle. Coming from a mini van and now that my kids are older I fell like I have plenty of room with the same amount of seats. Kia of Bowie were phenomenal and I had an amazingly, humble sale person named Mr. Russell.

Really disappointing
Pros Fits 7 people and has a good backup camera and blind spot alarm. Apple car play is great. I like the trip odometer automatically resetting to zero each day. Cons There are serious problems with the transmission or engine misfire, especially when trying to drive at 25-30 mph, as is stutters back and forth. Stuttering is also very notable when accelerating. Usually skips a half second between shifts on acceleration onto the highway. Seats, at least as equipped, are uncomfortable for drives of more than 30 minutes or so, as the back support is fixed, and can't move down to the lumbar. Passenger seat is manual with no height adjustment, so my wife complains she can't see out the windshield. As driver, my left knee hits the steering column and my right one hits the dash at the AC control panel. A telescopic wheel would make a big difference. Very large blind spot created by left "A" pillar. My wife complains that the front doors are two heavy, and usually asks for help to open them. Annoyingly loud turn signals at stop lights and high road noise at highway speeds. When third row of seats are up, there is very limited luggage space (4 children's boogie boards and a bag of towels - beach chairs had to stay home).

2019 Sorento Engine Issues - BUYER BEWARE!
I purchased a brand new 2019 Kia Sorento in April of 2020. Less than 50 miles on it. I went with this model specifically because of the ratings from US News and World Report and this site. HOW IN THE WORLD IS IT RATED #1??? The engine and transmission are constantly malfunctioning. I have a complete malfunction at less than 4000 miles. Unreal. I bought it for the ratings and price, specifically the safety ratings. There is NO SAFETY when your car stalls in the middle of the road as a brand new vehicle. There is a class action lawsuit on this car - google it. I cannot believe the rank knowing that. Read other bad reviews - they all say the same engine/transmission issue under 4,000 miles. Service is slow and terrible. I'm hopeful my warranty will save me until I can get it traded in. Don't buy this vehicle!
