  AMAZING VALUE - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By seanminnesota - August 27 - 6:41 am

  Had my 2013 Sorento for about a month and love everything about this vehicle. Have owned Nissan, VW, Audi, Honda and the Sorento beats them all on interior design and comfort as well as handling (with exception of course of Audi). Every possible bell and whistle and perfectly executed. Handles like a dream in snow and ice. MPG slightly lower than I expected but still quite good for a vehicle this size. Hands down my favorite car yet, test drive the Sorento if youre in the market for this type vehicle. The other tipping point for me was the third row seating, awesome for hauling my nephews and their friends and when folded down provides terrific cargo space.

  Very Happy - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By richardar6 - August 21 - 3:00 pm

  Purchased 1 month ago and couldnt be happier. Fit and finish is impressive. Its not too big,not too small. Turning radius is Excellent. Handles great for what it is. V6 has great pick up. Is it perfect? No, but no vehicle is. The ride is Euro firm (which dosent bother me and the trade off is better handling). MPG is OK, but not anything to write home about- of course I didnt get the V6 for good gas mileage and Ive never gotten advertised MPGs on any vehicle Ive owned. 20-21mpg with my lead foot. The only thing I dont like is road and wind noise- thats it.

  2013 LX GDI AWD - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By ucinn35 - April 30 - 7:35 pm

  We bought a 2012 SX AWD for the wife last year. We love that car so much we bought another one for me. I use it for work everyday so I went with the GDI for better gas mileage. Im getting between 24 and 25 combined with a couple hundred pounds of tools and parts in it. The acceleration is peppy and more than adequate. The 6 speed shifts smoothly and effortlessly. Handling is great, a very good turning radius so it handles like a smaller car. The SX has 25000 miles on it and mine has 1000 and weve had no problems out of either of them. I am probably a Kia customer for life now.

  Lots of Car in an Affordable Package. - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By Stacey Hamilton - January 25 - 8:52 pm

  We bought this car for our 16 year old daughter and she loves it. We got the EX package with AWD and the 6 cylinder engine. It is just the right car for a teenage driver.

  Who paid the EPA off - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By jlaures - October 27 - 1:32 am

  Got your Attention, I hope so . 2.4 AWD w/ 9000miles convenience package. Here’s the deal, this car runs and drives great. Road noise I place in the top ten for quiet. Handling is very good, I like firm but nibble. The transmission while in the ECO mode hunts more than my golden retriever, I thought my toyota shifted a lot, trying to keep that ECO light on is a trick but doable why I don’t know. The beige interior stains very easily DO NOT drop a french fry. The fuel mileage indicator on the dash says what I thinks its supposed to 18-20city 26-29 on the highway. With a average of 22.5 to24.

  its a great vehicle except the shock absorber - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By tazirose - July 31 - 7:13 am

  we just purchased a 2013 kia sorento and we thought since we have the SX it will be great. only to find out that it gets really bumpy on the road. we had a 2008 toyota rav4 and compare to the shock, the ride is smooth. if i could just switch the shock absorber from my rav4 to the sorento and my car will be PERFECT!!

  Great Value For The Price - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By idrn - May 29 - 12:21 pm

  I traded in a 2007 Tundra with a 5.7L engine for this vehicle. Weve had it for about 1 month. The MPG is above the sticker estimated numbers. We are getting 26.1 city and 34.5 hwy. I think this is great coming from a huge truck with 14 city and 17 hwy. The GDI engine seems to be the best balance between economy and still having some oomph on the road. The back up camera and rear sonar are great and the UVO is very easy to link to bluetooth HTC phone. We really like the A pillar A/C for the rear seat and the fold down arm rest for the rear as well. The rear under floor storage is huge and the ride is quiet and smooth. Though not a Lexus the value is right for the money.

  2013 Sorento V6 - EX Great vehicle!! - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By tracywright - March 7 - 2:20 am

  I love my Kia Sorento V6!! Never thought I would purchase Kia but after disappointment over Subaru, I thought I test drive Kia Sorento and boy was I surprised! The vehicle drives like a german car. Very solid, smooth, great horse power and love the sharp look of both exterior and the interior. Kia Sorento V6 is better than BMW 5X. Why? Better performance, better price and sharp looking. I was really surprised how well the vehicle drove. It has everything that the BMW 5X. I am extremely happy with the vehicle.

  My 2nd Kia sorento - 2013 Kia Sorento
  By darda71 - January 23 - 9:53 am

  I just purchased my 2nd Kia Sorento, I had a 2011 LX with the 4-cy and my lease was up and I upgraded to the SX V6.. I looked at many different SUVs and almost purchased the Jeep Grand Cherokee but after driving the SX I stayed with Kia. My Only complaint on the 2011 was the Ride was stiff and power in the 4-cy, so The SX took care of both issues.. I love the Sorentos, cant beat the value they are the perfect size suv. I have the 2-tone leather, dual roofs, nav, keyless start, lighting package, chrome wheels.. Drive one and you will be impressed.
