  Love this car! - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By Best Vehicle Ever! - July 9 - 6:00 am

  This car handles like a dream. Great on winding roads and great on gas. Plenty of room for my weekend job of craft shows. Through the week, all my grandbabies fit in it at once. Love the new body style. Looks like a more expensive car at an affordable price. My husband even loves this car!

  Too new to rate reliability. purchased vehicle 01/18/10 so far its been great. I think the interior is nice, love having the Sirrus radio,bluetooth. I think its a good looking vehicle. The ride is pretty smooth, but i agree with other poster could have put better tires.

  2011 Kia Sorento - Just off the lot - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By fourwinns86 - April 21 - 10:00 am

  To be fair, Iva had the car for 3 days. Did lots of research before buying and was very impressed with this car. Ive had minivans for the past 20 years so this was the first itme in a while that I have been able to actually buy the vehicle I wanted. So far it has met all my expectations; handles great, quiet on the HWY, 25 mpg with only 200 miles on it. Got the 4 cyl FWD drive and it is a great combination of price and performance. I will be back once Ive had the car for a while to update this review but so far very impressed.

  My leap of faith to KIA - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By WJM - March 3 - 6:36 pm

  Owned Toyotas and Hondas, liked new design enough to try the KIA brand. Have had for 2 weeks, so far lots to like. Feels different than past cars owned, not quite as "refined" in spots, but makes up for it with overall design execution.

  In Love! - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By Young Mother - February 4 - 11:43 pm

  This vehicle is awesome! I have one with the back up camera and heated seats. Love the bluetooth. This CUV drives like a car, is quiet and comfortable. I am only 52" and I am not intimidated by it at all. The dealership was awesome and game me more for my trade in than it is worth! My kids enjoy the reclining backseats and sound system. I just got it Sat. so I cant really review reliability.

  KIA Sorento SX V6 AWD is fantastic - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By RNOVAK - January 26 - 10:00 am

  This is a $50,000 MDX for $32,000. I love this vehicle. I have had it about 7 weeks and put about 1000 miles on it. i love everything about it. the complete package and 10 years 100,000 mile bumper to bumper for an extra 1300 is amazing. How can I go wrong? Handles like a car. Absolutely flies and is quiet as any car I have ever been in. Everyone I show it to is amazed with Kia.

  Had it for a week and LOVE it! - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By VegasGirl - January 26 - 10:00 am

  Just picked up my shiny black Sorento SX and cant say enough about it. What a sharp lookin ride! LOVE IT! My dealer experience at Findlay Kia in Las Vegas was fantastic! I averaged 25 MPG this week and am quite pleased with the smooth ride; especially compared the EX V6. This car had the most bang for the buck of any car I drove. I enjoy all of the convenience features and have made good use of the dual zone climate control, my mom can freeze on her side and I can stay unfrozen on my side! I love the voice activated features, the NAV, and the back-up camera. Stereo is good too. Even though its just been a week, I am impressed every time I go for a ride. Thanks Kia

  Lovin our SX - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By SX in Katy - December 6 - 2:00 am

  The SX is the way to go; the DFD dampeners make the ride unbelievable. I feel like I am driving an expensive European SUV. The whole family loves it, back seat recline and adds to the spaciousness.

  watch out, KIA is here to stay - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By tsedhun69 - November 15 - 2:40 pm

  I was looking for smaller SUV/cuv and did test drive several different brand in three months period but then accidentally stop by Kia dealership and spotted 2011 sorento and just fell in love with the design and interior features and the price. I traded in my 4runner and bought my sorento a month ago and it drives like a champ and with all these features like bluetooth, double sunroofs, Sirius radio, backup camera heated front seat etc, Ive been driving Toyota for 9years they are too spoiled, customer service bad. So, anyone out there looking for smaller SUV, you should definitely stop by Kia dealership and test drive sorento 2011 and check it out. And its made in usa. You cant go wrong with Kia
