  Borrego EX V6 - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By Sand Man - February 6 - 7:33 pm

  I was coming out of a Leased Chevrolet Silverado and wanted to find a good buy on another lease. This was the ticket. I love the ride, pick up and the towing capability. I have had the SUV for a year and have yet to see another one on the road. I like that. I test drove the V8 but it has some lag in the take off. The V6 doesnt have any lag. It will put you back in your seat. I dont drive it hard just nice to know that the power is there when you need it.

  Outstanding Value and Quality - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By rons - January 22 - 1:26 pm

  Have owned my 2009 Borrego for a year and both my wife and I are still amazed at the quality of this car. It replace a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and other than the automatic placement of personal setting via the key fob it is equal to or greater than the Mercury. Have had NO PROBLEMS since we purchased it. Great SUV, Great PRICE AND WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE WARRANTY.

  Very Satisfied - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By Rich S. - May 29 - 3:36 pm

  I just purchased the 3.8L V6 4 wheel drive on 12/13/2008. I am very glad I made this purchase. I did look at numerous vehicles in this and found the Borrego had more room, more options at a lower overall cost, and had a sharper look to it. I find the ride to be great-much like a car and you sit high like a truck. All controls are easy to find and use. I have the luxury package and rear seat entertainment package for the kids. I recommend this set up and the cost was not bad. Well designed and very comfortable. Third row seating has plenty of foot room and space with comfortable seats. A real pleasure to drive.

  Great - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By Zepyher Rhodes - February 10 - 9:20 am

  Why pay 35K for a premium fuel pathfinder (thats a little smaller) when the safety doesnt even compare. Great car for a great price. I never dreamed in a million years I would own a Kia and now I have one and wouldnt trade it for the world

  Excellent SUV - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By Arthur - December 23 - 3:36 pm

  I have a 4WD six cylinder and I love it. The car is beautiful, fast and strong and the fuel economy is decent. I love the accessories: leather, GPS, power seat memory position, rear sensors, power sun roof, voice command, lots of room, etc. Vehicle handles excellent. My only concern is: as they don’t have KIA Dealership in my city I have to drive almost 90 miles to have the periodic maintenance done by KIA.

  By reese - October 16 - 1:53 am

  Bought this kia yesterday after hearing about the mark downs on 09 models. It stickered 4 33,075 but got it out the door for 26,000! Im very impressed with this vehicle so far, the interor is very Nice and the look is awsome! The v6 has great power on the highway just Punch it even v8 suvs cant touch it! Only gripe is the low end torque and weird shift points of the automatic but other than that its just what my family needed. Go get one you wont be disappointed!

  You would never guess its a Kia - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By Miguel - August 2 - 4:36 am

  I have purchased many cars everything from an Audi to a Toyota. I have to say that this Borrego is the best purchase ever. The ride is great (for a truck style frame). Comfort is that of a luxury car. All of the options this Borrego comes with is unbelievable. We looked at everything from a 4Runner to a Acadia. I saved over $10,000 by purchasing this Borrego. The warranty cant be beat. I even got the dealer to throw in the 100,000 Mile bumper to bumper warranty for free. The turning radius is also unbelievable.

  2009 Borreg - 2009 Kia Borrego
  By COLORADOMTNLUVR - June 30 - 5:00 am

  We bought a 2009 Borrego for my family 3 weeks ago. We love the features and the comfortable ride that the vehicle provides. Fuel economy is as advertised at 21 mpg, which is not bad overall considering the size of the vehicle. We are very pleased with this vehicle and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
