  • great SUV for the price - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    no problems so far, only complaint is the gas mileage

  • Sorento is a killer - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    This is the from kia (S U V ) beside the Sedona Van. The ride is smooth with a lot of leg room.I have been driving the Sorento for over a Year now and I like every moment of it. When I was looking for a SUV I wasnt loking for a sport car I was only looking for a 4x4 with low maitenance and somthing good for my budget.

  • FUEL MILEAGE 20+ - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I just purchased an 04 Sorento EX w/ 105k on it. After reading about fuel mileage, we almost took our other vehicle on our day trip Saturday. 309 miles, mostly highway, cruise control at 75, w/ several stops, I still managed to get 20.5 mpgs. So, while 2 mpgs arent much, I am sure that I could have got 22-23 had I kept speed at 65-70. Way better then the 18 from review.

    Sorento runs great and has a nice smooth ride. Problems so far are minor, some water leakes in to tray of the sunroof in the rear into a track. They say that is a drain track ??? am radio fades in and out. .Check your sunroors in the back ! overall this is a nice truck.

    This thing is awesome. I was a bit aprehensive because it had the name Kia, BUT when I actually drove it the car was amazing. This is truly a must have when shopping for a SUV. Low price + Great SUV = Phenominal Buy

  • Great SUV. I am impressed - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I am mechanical engineering professor, and was looking for a SUV. Saw all, including US made, Germans, Swedish, French, Japanese, etc. Then saw the Kia Sorento and thought: "Well, another good looking car, but with nothing inside". Asked for a test-drive and was impressed. Then, took the test car for a trip off-road and was convinced. I have one Sorento for 9 months now. Great fun to drive, very good quality, very reliable, fairly economic (if you use a selected engine oil it gets real economical: I use BP Visco 7000 (0W40)). I am just curious about maintenance costs: until now I didnt had any problem with it.

    We were in the market for a SUV,and have owned sports cars in the past.This Sorento gets it !! I test Drove all the competitors and KIA SORENTO Won the challange HANDS DOWN! The Body Lines are the Best of all comparable Models.We Bought the 04 EX added the Leather Seats,Bug-Shield,Roof- Spoiler,Step-Bars,Brush Gaurd,Mud Flaps,Vent Gaurds,Front Window Tinting,Allezza Tail Lights,Removalble Dog Barrier,etc... And Drove it HOME under $27,500. Thats with all extra undercoating,paint sealer,leather gaurd...WOW plus 5 year/60,000 Everything (Roadside Included) and 10 year/100,000 Powertrain. My Advice is "Check Them Out"

  • love my sorento!! - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I cannot say one negative thing about my Sorento. I looked at several other SUVs including the Jeep Liberty, Ford Escape and Hyundai Sante Fe before purchasing my Sorento and the decision to buy the Sorento was an easy one. Its a great looking, great performing vehicle at a gret price.
