  • Great midsize SUV - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We bought our 2005 Sorento two months ago and love it. Short of a brake lamp going out, we have had no problems whatsoever. The interior space is ample and we absolutely love the styling. More than once people have commented, "Wow, I cant believe thats a Kia." Wed highly recommend this SUV for anyone with a small family.

    This suv is a very good value and the ride is a bit hard, more truck like and the radio is poor and could use an up grade. With the gas price the way it is now, Iwould like to see the next years model get something better than 20-22 mpg

    I am on my 4th Kia and have never been happier with a car, My Sorento is the best SUV I have ever owned. All my friends comment on how little I paid for it and how well it is built and the standard features are the best on the market.

  • Rain, ice, and snow - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    My fully loaded Sorento that I purchased last week was very impressive through a major northeast storm. During a 40 mile commute that lasted 5 hours, I was never uncomfortable. Since I know every road between work and home I left the highway several times to look for a better way, and witnessed people not able to navigate the smallest of inclines, I was tempted to pass the expensive cars known to Greenwhich CT as they fish tailed back and forth but the on coming traffic proved to be a bad idea for passing.The Sorento kept up with every inch with no slipping. Very impressed with handling and comfort.

  • Yes, buy a Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We really enjoy our new Kia Sorento. It is very comfortable, lots of room, drives great. We needed to have the digital clock fixed within a week other then that no problems as of yet. For the money, you get what you pay for and more with the Kia Sorento.

  • Fun little SUV - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    This is a fun SUV to drive. It turns tightly and maneuvers easily. Gas mileage is ok but much better than the Suburban I used to drive. The seats are comfortable and roomy as well as lots of head room. The Sorento has a quick acceleration and does well in the mountains. At times it rides like a truck when you go over bumps. The interior is noisy. Overall, I could not have gotten a better quality SUV with all the bells and whistles at such a reasonable price.

  • Excellent - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I have been delighted with this SUV. Comfortable ride, solid construction, all the amenities of a more expensive SUV, e.g., Lexus, BMW. Gas mileage could be better, however, this SUV meets all my needs.

  • Satisfied New Owner - 2005 Kia Sorento

    Satisfied new owner. Would like better gas milage. Like all of the options and safety ratings.
