  • Sorento is "just right" - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I fell in love with the Kia Sorento the first time I laid eyes on one in a mall parking lot. I have owned two other SUVs and find the Sorento to be "just right". My complaints are for very poor gas mileage (city 12-13 mpg, highway 18 mpg during a Vegas trip) and excessive wind noise at the sunroof. I LOVE the interior/exterior styling, interior comfort and height, and the solid road handling, especially around turns.

    This is my first purchase of an SUV and my first purchase of a South Korean product and lets just say Im very impress with the product so far.I look at products from Ford,Nissan and Honda and when I look at Kia, I was very suprise how well the product was put together.

  • Saying Goodbye to my Kia - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I have had my Kia for almost 5 years now. I really loved my Kia, it was a lot of car for such a reasonable price. I replaced my headlights and tail lights twice a year. A/C has never worked right (which can isnt good when you live in AZ). Dealership always tells me that its running fine, so I have given up. The last two years I have put in a lot of money into the vehicle (I cant even remember all the things I have had done and of course not covered by warranty any longer).I am afraid that I will only be putting more into it the near future, so it is time to say goodbye. Dealing with the dealership was a joke and the overall cost to own this vehicle was much more than I had expected.

    Great price, very reliable, good warranty.

  • Great Value - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    The more I look at the my Sorento the more I fall in love. It is a beautiful car that unfortunately gets bad gas mileage. The reason for the poor gas mileage is the ratio between horsepower and weight. If you dont mind the gas mileage its a good buy.

  • Great SUV - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Ive had the Kia Sorento for almost two months now, and I love it! I live in colorado and have over a hundred mile commute to and from work into the mountains, and this SUV is great. It picks up really well when going up into the mountains and I love the cruise control. It also handles very well going around curves. This is a great SUV and I would reccomend it to anyone who wants a reliable and fun SUV, but who doesnt want to spend a fortune to get it.
