    If you have back problems like me, do not think to buy a Sorento.The ride is very stiff and road vibrations will affect your spinde for sure. I have herniatic disc and since I bought this car I am in pain. Besides that,if you are healthy go ahead and buy one

    Ive had nothing but problems with the electrical - head/tail lights out every 3-4 months, clock, interior lights, thermometer for outside temp all stopped working. Exterior paint started chipping when the car was only 2 yrs old.

    Sorento is attractive and very solid suv. It is very capable in the mud. Much more comfortable than was the Honda CRV I traded. The Kia dealership has treated me very well. It is a shame that they do not make a mid-sized pick up as it would put the Dakota to shame.

    The Sorento has a roomy interior and is easy to convert for more cargo space. The ride is good for a four wheel drive vehicle and the handling is good

  • Glad I chose this vehicle! - 2004 Kia Sorento

    I was looking for an affordable SUV - something that I thought I would never find! Then the Kia Sorentos came out and I hit the jackpot! Not only was it affordable but it was good looking too! It only got better when I took it for a test drive - it drove beautifully. I am pleased with my purchase and the compliments on my vehicle keep rolling in.

  • I Love my Kia Sorento - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    My Kia Sorento is perfect for our family of four. It drives well and handels well in the snow and icey condictions in Indiana. I feel very safe riding in my SUV. It has the highest side impact rating by the government. The Kia rodes high off the road so you can see a lot of whats ahead of you. It comes with lots of standard features that I consiter extras.

  • The Sorento is a Blast! - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Weve had our Sorento for four months and it remains the only car Ive ever had (out of about 20) that seems to be worth considerably more than what I paid for it. It is a blast to drive and the engine has enough torque to embarass many V-8s off the line. Since Kia hired Porsche to do the suspension tuning, the stiff ride is understandable and in my view, preferable. When you factor in the double five-star crash test results-- what a deal! Im so glad I didnt get a Lexus RX 300 or a BMW X5.

  • Great SUV Value for Your Buck - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I did a lot of research when I decided to buy an SUV. I wanted a moderate price, a good warranty, and a lot of luxury in a great looking car. Sounds like a lot to ask for, right? But the Sorento has exceeded my expectations so far. I get compliments on the looks of the car. The warranty is the best in the business. The luxurious interior and great features with the luxury package leave me wanting for nothing. Who needs navigation anyway with Mapquest?!?
