Good overall but has some weird hiccups

overall we really like the car and it has been well worth it. What we don't like are the small things where we have to restart the car to get something to turn off. it is almost like a glitch with the technology from time to time.
Hold On!

First off, I am sold on Kia. I've owned 3 of them, " telluride", "Sportage", and now a "Sorento". My 2023 Sorento is a pleasure to ride in and a THRILL to drive. I chose to go with the turbo version and I have to tell you, this thing will pin you to your seat if you nail it. That is not the only reason but was certainly a SUPER Strong point to purchase. I bought the SX Prestige model in wolf gray and black. I've already had many compliments on this car. The interior is luxurious and the ride is sweet. But the performance is OUTSTANDING! But that's not all, It comes with a leading industry warranty. You won't be disappointed

It’s a rocket once you learn how to use the transmission stable ride, quiet ,handles Better than a grand Cherokee. Have taken it on quite a few long trips and it’s easy to spend the whole day in it. Visibility is excellent. Needs more padding on the touch points for your elbows 1/2 inch of foam can’t be that much more expensive than 1/4 inch. Plastic trim on the car appears to be clear coated because it is not scratching after many washes. outside door pillars are Getting spiderweb swirls
Enjoyable vehicle, but a few oddities...

Overall I am pleased with the 24 Sorento. The exterior is very modern/sporty. I have 10K miles on the vehicle so I have had time to evaluate. This is my first Kia - I feel they made a good vehicle but a few things keep it from being a great vehicle. Pros: Roomy cabin. I'm 6 ft. and do not feel cramped in front or back seats. (have not used 3rd row) Seats are comfortable Display and rear camera are exceptional handling is firm and responsive Peppy engine - smooth transition, quick acceleration I have only hand washed the vehicle, but the paint and finish seems to be above average A lot of helpful safety features Great warranty Cons: speakers/sound are only average. expected more driver assist warnings are annoying - no way to disable key fob is huge and bulky. button layout is a head scratcher (c'mon Kia) unable to use the inside door lock button- this is how it was designed, why even have a button lack of storage compartments in cabin A Lot of Wind noise on Freeway - cabin not sealed tightly Remote start range is weak and unreliable No way to visually see if vehicle actually started no running lights lit to indicate. Was NOT impressed with vehicle first time in snow if I could turn back time, would I buy this vehicle again....Probably. I really like it but don't love it. I was considering it's sister the Santa Fe - 2023 (2024 remodel of Santa Fe is bad).

Pain in the posterior!

I bought this thing 3 months ago, and will be diving out of it as soon as the '25s in Mazda, Honda, and Subaru are in to see and try. (No Toyotas; my local dealer is too shady.) I'll take a bath on its resale value, but, I want to take a trip cross-country and both my patience and my posterior will not take the punishment. First off, the seats are a complete pain in the [behind]. I am a big man. Tall, broad shoulders... think human grizzly bear. I also have very little padding in my posterior, so a seat needs to be comfortable. The Kia seats have what feels like a bar or something at the rear of the bottom cushion that is really noticeable. I recently drove from my town over to Knoxville, about a 250 mile round trip. I hurt so bad the next morning I was limping and needed my cane, which is rare. This seems to be something in Kia and Hyundai seating, as it is noticeable in other models. My brother complains of the same thing in his Santa Cruz, and I felt it in the seating in a '24 Hyundai Santa Fe. Another issue is the infotainment. The '23 and before systems were agonizingly slow to respond to input. The new one is snappy enough but the interface is one that fights you every step of the way, and you really can't configure it how you want it. Unlike Subaru with straightforward menus for setting up various vehicle options (lights on with wipers for example), Kia uses these ottsie-cutsie graphics with no really intuitive way of finding things. The instruction books that come with the car are more filled with lawyer-resistant disclaimers than with any useful information. Oh, and, how about a conventional speedo and tach that is just that, without any pretty-color nonsense and other distractions. One of the four settings yields what looks like conventional round gages but they are "enhanced" with what the designer thought would look whiz-bang. As for how it drives: it goes like it's been shot out of a cannon while maintaining what I consider to be good fuel economy. The engine noise can be intrusive when you "climb on it" but at cruise it's quiet. I already am feeling some oddities in the transmission at 1,400 miles (oh dear!) but generally it shifts competently and far more smoothly than I expected out of a dual clutch transmission. Based on comfort or the lack of it, the dodgy transmission, and the still-horrible user interface, I suggest one look at other makes and models before deciding. I'm very sorry I bought this thing, and likely will be going back to Subaru. My Ascent may have nanny-ed me to death with the driver monitor but it was more comfortable, more competent, and far easier to work with. (I now know how to defeat the nanny-cam system).
