Love This Car. Read Why. - 2012 Kia Sorento
By junglejoe - December 7 - 1:43 amI have had the Sorento SX V6 for a year now and I have not done anything but change the oil. I love the front seat adjustability and the Heated and Air Conditioned drivers seat. Fast for its size and handles good. Stereo sounds great, bluetooth works good, the a/c control in the back is very welcomed as is the heated steering wheel. I love this car more than any other I have owned except for maybe my first car as a kid, a 1964 Ford Galaxie LTD. I have had Mercedes 420, VW Jetta Sportwagon TDI, Jeep Grand Cherokee, MIsc vans and sports cars but the KIA is the best value!

Downsized From Huge SUV - 2012 Kia Sorento
By countrynewsman - August 23 - 5:24 pmI traded in my Ford Expedition EL for the Sorento since I no longer needed a huge gas guzzler. I was concerned about comfort, however, I have driven the Sorento on long trips and it is comfortable to drive. The generous warranty and the fact its built in the U.S. were two of my main reasons for purchasing this vehicle. My only complaint is the lack of room in the second row due to the presence of the third row. My next Sorento will not have the third row since I dont need it. The Sorento does very well in towing a boat and trailer weighing 2500 pounds, however, braking is a little harder.

My first new car ever - unbelieveable value! - 2012 Kia Sorento
By tcsmythe - June 8 - 7:37 pmMy Sorento actually exceeded the stickers MPG rating. Super peppy and holds my entire outdoor sound system. My profit as a musician just went up.
