  LEXUS OF KOREA - 2004 Kia Sorento
  By headstix - August 29 - 2:00 am

  After reading reviews and shopping around alot I settled on the Sorento EX with the AWD luxury package. When I pulled into my daughters driveway her husband came out and gasped " Lexus 300 ". I said look at the grill. "KIA,oh my god". That was the first of many. This is a solid truck. The controls are intuitive. The sound system is the bomb. The interior makes me feel like I stole the bosses Escalade. My wife leaves her Liberty in the driveway. Nice.

  Cant Stop Driving It! - 2004 Kia Sorento
  By New Kia Owner - June 25 - 10:00 am

  Honestly when pricing the Kia I really dindt expect too much. But this car not only has everything (ex) but it drives just as good as SUVs costing 10- 20 thousand dollars more. I actually got the new 2005 EX 2 wheel drive and got it for much cheaper than what most are even paying. I walked out after tax an licencse for 21,000. The 05s have the new Shiftronic automatic which provides hours of fun for me. The feautures are endless, my parents have been checking them out for some time and actually like it more than their Mercedes ML 500. The gas mileage is also much better with the new automatic system, I am getting 18 city and 23 hwy right now in mine. Thats

  Proud Kia Owner - 2004 Kia Sorento

  If your looking at SUVs check this ride out. I was nervous about the name, but after driving the 2005 Kia EX it was a done deal. They give you everything as far as options go. It feels and drives like a luxury SUV, very similar to the Lexus and Acura SUV models in appearence and performance. The V6 feels great. The fuel really isnt that bad considering the 5 star frame weight and the size of the vehicle, much bigger than you would think. Plus the shiftronic is so fun to drive, you get the 5 speed automatic with the 05 models, very nice, and better milage too. I got the new aqua blue, really looks great, it catches a lot of eyes. I traded my 4runner for it and wish I would have earlier!

  Love my Kia! - 2004 Kia Sorento
  By Crescendo - May 24 - 2:00 am

  I cant believe what a great value this vehicle is. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, and looks great as well. In fact, it looks and drives as good or better than many higher-priced SUVs. It was "love at first drive" for me!

  Best SUV Ever! - 2004 Kia Sorento
  By Katherine Allen - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I test drove all of the SUVs out there and they all drove like trucks. The Kia Sorento drives like a car more than a truck.We took it down to Miami for a trip and it got 20-22 miles per gallon.

  great suv - 2004 Kia Sorento
  By jwmII - April 10 - 2:00 am

  We now have 6700 miles and have not had a problem. I was really impressed when we went on vacation Christmas week and had to drive thru snow on mountain roads with up to 20" and this suv not only got us to our destination but it never lost traction!!! We passed numerous suv and 4wd trucks having traction problems.

  16000 miles of fun - 2004 Kia Sorento
  By a3photogod - April 6 - 11:06 pm

  Just an update on our Sorento. Problem free after 16000 miles, and not just highway miles. 4x4 works great, been on the beach in NC, and running in the snow in PA. Fuel economy average on highway is 21 mpg (5 speed stick), 14 city. Still looks great, no squeaks, no rattles. Prefer to use 5w30 synthetic oil for performance. I have really tested the 4x4 system, on trails and especially on the beach (no roads in the northern Outer Banks). Great SUV, would love another for the wife.
