2019 Kia Sorento- NEVER AGAIN

2019 Kia Sorento EX 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

Was a previous Toyota owner for many years and decided to switch to Kia for warranty. Had the vehicle for 6 months, less than 10K miles and after 4 visits to the dealership, they finally acknowledged a new transmission was required. Move forward 40K miles and transmission problems once again. Going to trade it in for a reliable Toyota.

get the 6 cylinder engine, if you are getting a newer year then get the Turbo. It is a nice size SUV and everything works, this is my 10th KIA/Hyundai and I don't think you can get more for the money. 3/13/2022: everything on the SUV works, I looked for six months to find a six cylinder with cloth seats, found it and bought it. I know everyone want leather seats, I don't like hot sticky leather in the summer and cold hard leather in the winter. I had 6 previous cars with leather seats and grew to hate them. The 6-cylinder engine is very good and does not seem to contaminate the oil, in other words when I went in for an oil change the service people said the oil was new, I told them it was 6,000 miles old. They finally agreed to change the oil. I use synthetic oil.

Great SUV for Dad who did not want a mini van!

This car fit all the needs of an Dad with a growing family and one that needs to help 2 sets of elderly parents. Did not want a mini-van too manly for that!!! LOL😎 Great features for the money. The computer system is the entire brains of this car. I read all the manuals and all of them focus on that display screen and all its functions. Get the extra warranty on that part it is worth the money. The SUV drives smooth and all the safety features really help the driver focus on their job. Drive the car safely! Great SUV for the money
