  • Very Disappointed - 2015 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Lots of issues with this vehicle. Very dangerous blindspot on both sides. Doing an over the shoulder check is a must before changing lanes or backing up. Fuel consumption is terrible with the 2.4 liter engine. My F150 is much better. Steering wheel bottom controls not well placed. I would inadvertently activeate certain functions when sliding hand to bottom of steer wheel. I also noted lots of road noise when driving at highway speed. Seems that Kia may have scimped on the insulation. The factory installed remote start has lots of issues. The normal key FOB does not support a remote start so you need to carry two all the time. There also lots of issues with with the car alarm going off when using the remote start. Very poor design. The #1 issue overall is the suspension and ride. Its like driving a tank. Very uncomfortable and rough to drive. All that being said, I would not recommend you buy this car. Too many issues and not enough solutions.

    Our family is thrilled with our 2015 KIA Sorento Ex. It is an absolute pleasure to drive. The extra row of seats in back is a wonderful addition. Surprisingly roomy in 2nd row. The responsiveness of voice program and sound system along with other techno gadgets are great! Incredible Steering..will turn as sharp as a motorcycle!!! First week went on a trip, drove it a thousand miles through interstate and city traffic in Orlando and it got a hard to believe average of 26 mpg..Yes this is a keeper!!!!! To top it off the rear view camera makes handling the SUV easy as pie. WOW I could say more. ..this was thoughtfully made --a great deal! Thanks KIA! We are sooo happy!

  • Bad MPGs!!! - 2015 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Purchased a 2015 for my wife and after 1400 miles we are still only getting 14 to 18 mpg. Kia says it has a break in period and that we should be getting 20 to 27 mpg after 3000 miles. We only purchased this car because of the mpgs we thought we were going to get, should have just kept our 07 Honda CRV. After a few years we will be getting rid of this vehicle and wont look at Kia again.

  • LOVE my Kia! - 2015 Kia Sorento
    By -

    This is my third actually. I had my 2004 Sorento LX for 10.5 years and it was more reliable than ANY vehicle I have ever owned. So I traded for a 2015. Ive only had it for 2 months and 850 miles but its great! Average mileage running mostly city and in eco setting is 21. Still getting used to the back-up camera and some of the options Ive never had before but those heated seats are wonderful!

  • My sorento - 2015 Kia Sorento

    I really love my Sorento. Best car I have ever owned. Always wanted one and now I got it. I am planning on buying a pontoon boat only 16ft. The dry weight is 1620 without motor. The maximum towing capacity is 1650. I wonder if that will make a difference. Really hoping it doesnt because I love my Sorento

  • Great Mid size SUV - 2015 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Im a loyal Toyota customer, but I wanted to see what other car makers had to offer. So I test drove a number or SUVs from Toyota, Mazda, Ford, Subaru & Nissan. And the 2015 Sorento impressed me so much that I stopped looking. Its the perfect size, it rides great (better than most other SUVs), very comfortable, great standard feature & options. Very good quality all around, great warranty and Im getting about 26mpg city & highway combined. When you compare the price and quality of the Sorento to other SUVs. Sorento wins.

  • Great Car For A Grandpa - 2015 Kia Sorento
    By -

    This is my 2nd Sorento (We had a 2012 also). I love this car! It was great when the grandkids visited . The 3rd seat is meant for them. We have the sx model with all the bells and whistles. The acceleration of the V6 is very good and the quality of the interior is nice.

  • 2015 Kia Sorento LX FWD - 2015 Kia Sorento
    By -

    the 2015 Sorento LX FWD is a attractive suv for woman. Its not really a mans suv unless its a top of the line Limited model. Its very much so a plastic suv. For a $30,000 suv everything thats not a seat cushion shouldnt look and be hard plastics. The back up camera & sensors works great. The instrument cluster looks amazing with the red and white. The plastic wood look, looks great on the doors but not on the dashboard or on the center console. The gas needle and the range to empty doesnt really add up correctly the range to empty says 325 to E for a full tank but according to the internet I suppose to get 348 to E for a full tank.
