  Bang for your buck - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By macmarty - May 29 - 2:00 am

  Drove 300 mi. trip to Palm Springs,CA. got 22 mpg. No cmplaints. Car does have a firm ride and does have cabin noise over rougher paved fwys. Thanks for the great sound system. Kind of a learning curve re: remembering all the voice commands that you need to know for radio, bluetooth, nav,etc. No problem with sunroof wind noise or pulling to the right some owners have experienced. Looked at Edge and Murono simirally equip., they were 6-7K more. Didnt need the 3rd seat, but no option with the EX/SX models. This is my 4th Kia and have had pretty good luck with all of them, thanks to the 5 yr. 60K warranty. looking forward to see how the AWD lockup will work on ice and snow roads in Big Bear

  No more minivan! - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By drcahrl - May 15 - 1:49 am

  I loved my PAID FOR 03 Chrysler T&C, but after the 2nd accident (not my fault), husband insisted on new vehicle for us (2 young kids). I needed 3rd row - we carry extra kids at times, but didnt need cargo space for strollers and giant kid carseats any longer. Hubby fanatical about safety features. We tested EVERYTHING - even new Odyssey and Swagger wagon (Sienna), Acadia, Traverse (all too big). Sorento just the right size! City MPG 22-23, hwy about 25-26 so far. Kids LOVE IT! Will be taking 1500 mile road trip next week. Looking forward to it.

  Glad I upgraded! - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By Ree - May 13 - 11:10 pm

  I purchased my 2011 Sorento LX back in March & LOVE IT! It is so quiet and rides so smooth. Everyone thats seen my vehicle wants one now. The look of it is nice, space is great inside (even with my 3rd row of seats) and its just an overall great vehicle. I traded my 2007 Sorento in fort this one and dont regret it one bit! Oh and I have over 5300 miles on it already!

  Chose it over a Honda CR-V - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By Rupert - April 23 - 11:23 am

  Traded my 2008 Honda S2000 for KIA Ex V6 with Navigation, leather and sunroof. We also own a 2007 KIA V6 Sportage. In 2.5 years this car has never had maintenance issues. The 2011 Kia Sorento drives REALLY good, nice pep, corners well, and a really good sound system. The Navigation works well, better then the portable ones. The blue-tooth I dont know how I have lived without it. 3rd row seats I can do without. Nice leather on the seats but the quality of the plastics on the Interior could get better but is better then the CR_V. Dont know much about the gas mileage yet, I have only put 120 miles on it. My only complaints is that it tends to turn when the road is not level.

  Just 2 weeks - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By June Sheehan - April 23 - 10:00 am

  I went in to decide between a Kia Sorento and the Hyundai Santa FE. I had owned each one so I assumed it would not be hard. Recently owning a C-class Benz an suffering from premium gas and mileage. I had wanted to see what Kia had to offer on the 2011 Sorento and was immediately sold after test drive. The gas and the design in and out satisfied my need. It has been two weeks and heads are still turning. I have never had a 4 cyl and was surprised at the pick up. I am on the highway everyday averaging 55 miles round trip and DC has the worst roads. Will keep consumers updated. So far I am very pleased.

  Love my Sorento - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By conazza - April 2 - 6:13 am

  Great SUV with lots of comfort and room. Got it for a low 19,000! Took it on a 400 mile trip and was thrilled to average 29.2 miles per gallon. Im getting about 25.5 in the city so Im very happy. I wanted a comfortable car for family trips that would get good gas mileage and Ive found it! I have the 4 cylinder and am fine with the amount of power it has.

  Well-built - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By John D - March 5 - 2:00 am

  I was impressed with the way the car handled and the comfortable ride. Also it was very quiet compared to my Ford Escape. Im satisfied with everything about the car so far. Ive had it 5 months and driven 5000 miles. The rear sensors and rear camera are very convenient for people that may have a problem turning to check whats behind them. Very nice vehicle. Has it all over the Escape I had.

  Best SUV deal with fully loaded features - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By lin - December 12 - 12:43 am

  Compared with many other brand, such as Hyundai, Chevrolet, GMC, Lexus, Acura, Honda, Toyota this is the best deal with touch screen navigation radio sound system package. It will be perfect if the trunk space is 2 inches longer than it is now. Blue tooth is great for cell phone. This car should come with at least one memory button for the driver side and step up bar should be standard with both sides. Ride and handling are great so far. This 2011 sorento is a great choice for personal and/or family use. Great!

  What can I say about the 2011 KIA Sorento SX..."WOW!" - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By heyofficer - December 10 - 12:51 pm

  My Husband and I were looking for a new SUV, and were sick of seeing all the "cookie cutter" and common Honda Pilots, Toyota Highlanders, RAV4s and CRVs that it seemed were everywhere. Boring and tired looking, and their owners were looking equally boring and tired! So we shopped and shopped. Test drove and researched. Then after all the info was collected, we bought a new 2011 KIA Sorento SX in February. I drive it daily, and my husband and I have been on some longish trips to Las Vegas, too. We sold our Mazda, but this new KIA actually beats the rest when compared feature to feature, overall quality, looks and reliability. KIAs 100,000 warranty is icing on the cake!

  Our kia experience - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By spradley0121 - December 4 - 9:56 pm

  We just bought our 2011 Kia Sorento and it is wonderful. It has been a joy to drive. It is very smooth and comfortable. Also it is very economical on fuel which helps during this day and time.
