  My Third Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Kidxpress - July 22 - 1:40 am

  I love this SUV! Its fun, its great looking and functional. From camping to picking up groceries ... I couldnt be happier. This is my third Kia; first I had the Sephia, the the Kia Sportage convertible (super fun) and now as my kids are bigger, the bigger Sorento is awesome. Has the same interior as my moms Lexus!

  I have been very pleased with the Sorento, its looks and its extreme value. If someone wants an SUV for an extra vehicle, it is a perfect combo of utility, value and function.

  Great! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By cj033172 - June 13 - 12:46 am

  Drives great and handles well. Does not feel like you are driving a truck like many other SUVs. It makes for a smooth and comfortable ride. We have all the bells and whistles in our Kia Sorento and would recommend it to others.

  I love my Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Omar - May 31 - 6:53 am

  All I gotta say to anybody that is thinking of buying a kia sorrento is GO FOR IT!.. We recently bought a Kia Sorrento Ex for 28,000 and as a test drive we took it to Vegas. This car accelarated incredibly well we were passing every car on the way on the way up to mountains of 3000 and 4000 feet of elvation.... It is incredibly comfortable and sporty... Honestly people go get one if you can I strongly recommend it....

  KIA MY LEXUS - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By DEBRA ADEN - May 14 - 4:50 am

  This car has been a great joy to drive as well as so many features that are on the car. We looked at more expensive cars and couldnt find a reason why the Kia Sorrento should not be considered a tremendous value for the money.

  I picked Kia over Chevy and Ford - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Suzy - May 1 - 3:50 am

  I bought my Kia after driving both the Ford Escape and the Chevy Trailblazer. I traded a Chevy Blazer Extreme for my Kia. It has much more room than the SUVs we test drove. And I love it.

  KIA DAYS - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Frank - April 16 - 7:10 am

  If you forget about the poor mileage, (you can almost see the dial on the gas gauge go down while driving), everything else is splendid. My wife and I love our KIA Sorento. It looks great, rides well, and has the get-up-and-go that you want in an SUV. The real challenge at KIA is to get more people interested in the vehicle. This SUV truly is a hidden treasure. PS: A side note to the engineers at KIA. Come on guys. In this day and age, with the price of gas sky-rocketing, youve go to do something about fuel efficiency.

  IRRESPONSIBLE AND PATHETIC - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Sorry Sorento - April 16 - 4:00 am

  I have over $6000 dollars in maintenance and service in my car. This does not include my rental car expenses because of the numerous times my car has been in the shop. I have replaced headlights, brake lights, parking lights, dome lights, fog lights and interior lights repetitively. I have replaced the timing belt, various ac parts, brakes, power seat motor, power locks, radio, battery, and car alarm parts. This is an attractive SUV with wonderful bells and whistles. It is an irresponsible and pathetic product. The 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty is useless and misleading. They do not stand by their product and it has awful resale value. Do not buy this vehicle regardless of the price!

  Impressed with the Sorento - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By amatechsan - March 28 - 11:53 pm

  The Sorento wasnt among the cars we intended to check out. Upon reading the reviews, we added it to the list. The test drive was so smooth, we bumped it up to our top three. When the Honda guy told us that the Sorentos are viable competition to the CR-V, we knew the Sorento was the one to buy.
