  Passed up Highlander and Pilot for KIA - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By lazy t - May 23 - 7:43 am

  A leather/luxury Pilot or Highlander with lot-o-options would run you 30k plus. I paid 23,800 and love it. Go see/drive one before you buy anything else. Better gas mileage is becoming an issue now though.

  Sorento, trade your old Sportage in . - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By HD Harris - April 20 - 5:26 pm

  It has been an excellent upgrade from my 1998 Sportage. It has adequate room for five. It has been excellent for my two young boys. The 3.5l v6 has plenty of power and the with the auto-stick option, it can be definitely fun going stoplight to stoplight. The styling is more upscale than you would expect from Kia. I feel its more along the lines of the ML series or Lexus and Acura. I always have people asking me about it and complimenting it.

  AMADOGON - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By AMADO V GONZALES - April 14 - 12:43 pm

  Bought this 2004 Sorento EX 4WD in 12/2004 with 19 miles on the odometer. Tested vehicles 4WD performance during the snow blizzard of Jan. 2005 here in Suffolk County (Long Island New York). Did the stop and go run about 15-20 mph on 10 inches snow on the road, went through like a bulldozer, no skidding, zigzagging (SUV equipped with disc brake/abs systems). I am giving a perfect 10 score for this vehicles performance. Also, tested vehicle performance on the highway; handles excellent.

  Liberated from a "Liberty" - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Nancy Lavely - March 28 - 10:00 am

  After driving a Jeep Liberty for two years that I truly hated , I purchased a Kia Sorento that I now am extremely happy with. When my husband and I test drove it, we were like, "What is this? A joke?" All the features did not compute with the low price.

  By Daniel - March 16 - 5:56 am

  I purchased one of these fully loaded and we have loved it! We have 47,000 miles on it now and its been just great. It pulled our two pwcs with no issues and goes everywhere (on or off- road).

  Sorento - Buy It! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Mary Jo Howell - March 14 - 9:30 am

  This is the first SUV weve owned however many friends have owned one for years. The looks are great, ride is nice.Easy driving for teens is a plus. Still getting used to the gas consumption after driving toyotas (Celica & Camry) over the last several years however we are still pleased with 22-24 highway. Its been great thus far for traveling with ball players on the weekends for 1-3 hour trips. We wouldnt go back to taking a car on the weekend trips for anything.

  I LOVE MY SORENTO - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Mike Powell - February 22 - 6:40 am

  I love my Sorento.Many people mistake it for a Lexus.The only complaint that I have is the position of the parking brake mechanism.It hits just above the knee.The only problem that I have had is the clock doesnt keep time,however that will be taken care of at my first oil change(not a major problem).Overall I am completely satisfied and would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a new SUV.

  I did not want it - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By His Car - February 8 - 2:53 pm

  When my husband was in the market to purchase a KIA, I had a fit. Now that I have it, no problem. Love the fact you get so much as standard equipment. Gas mileage could be better for the size of the SUV.
