  • The best SUV hands down for the money - 2004 Kia Sorento

    I love my Kia Sorento. I have owned a Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Toyota 4-Runner and the Kia is by far the best in its class.

  • Happy in Ohio - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I purchased a 2004 Ex 4x4 in Dec., 2003. My first foreign vehicle. Was comparing it to Lexus 330, & Acura MDX when I compared, and test drove a Kia I was pleasantly surprised enough to purchase one, handles well in the snow, love the features. Dont let the mileage estimates scare you. Compared to a midsized SUV, consumption is comparable. Test drive one, you too may be happy. Sound system rocks! I havent had one problem with this vehicle. Good job Kia.

  • Love my Sorento! - 2004 Kia Sorento

    My Sorento is the best car purchase Ive ever made. Ive had an Explorer - wouldnt trade my Sorento for 10 Explorers! Its fun to drive, it looks sharp, and it pulls my boat with no problem!

  • KIA SORENTO 5 SPEED - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    DURING MY BRIEF OWNERSHIP I FEEL THE FIT & FINISH IS EXCELLENT. IT IS VERY MANEUVERABLE, RESPONSIVE AND FUN TO DRIVE. I HAVE THE BASIC LX MODEL WITH THE 5-SPEED, AND EVEN AT THIS LEVEL THE VEHICLE IS WELL EQUIPPED AND THE INTERIOR IS WELL THOUGHT OUT.THE CLEAN AND UNDERSTATED STYLING OF THE LX APPEALS TO MY PERSONAL TASTES.

  • Solid SUV - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Except for the poor gas mileage this is a great SUV. Quality throughout. Ride is a little rough over bumps, but still a fine ride. Best deal in the market for the bucks.

  • AWSOME RIDE ! - 2004 Kia Sorento

    Quietest ride Ive ever had No rattles and handles bumps nicely Short turn radius

  • Love My Kia Sorento - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I was very reluctant to purchase a Kia Vehicle because I have always had Hondas--but after having purchased the 2004 Kia Sorento LX Model I am so pleased I did. It is so fun to drive but at the same time powerful, and handles beautiful. And I get so many comments about the cars roomy interior and exterior appearance-its beautiful! Now I have no regrets and would recommend to anyone thinking about buying an SUV to look at this first! You really get alot for your money-- it was fully loaded for about $10,000 less than the competitors wanted for a comperably equipped vehicle...and mine looks better!!!!

  • Very happy after 4 years - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Granted we only drive 7500 miles per year, but we have been very happy with our Sorento. In 4 years, only one warranty item - a piece of rubber molding in the passenger door. Pretty poor gas mileage, but we knew that when we bought it. The only other complaint is that the sheet metal seems "thin" - very easy to get dings. It is just the right size, lots of features, comfortable...and for us, bullet-proof reliable.
