  Excellent Buy & Very Pleasant SUV!! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By kandeemann2001 - August 16 - 7:05 am

  I purchased used in Dec 10 w/ 50,000 miles. 2 months and 5,000 miles later, not a single problem and absolutely a pleasure to drive! I upgraded from an 00 Sportage, so Im LOVING all the extra space, extra comfort and extra POWER from the Sorento. Seats are unquestionably the most comfortable ive ever sat in, power is MORE than enough than ill probably ever need, and theres a ton of space, both for passengers and cargo. I park next to plenty of the newer mid-sizers at work (Highlanders, Pilots, XC90s, etc.) and it looks just as stylish. Mine is white with the beige interior and gold cladding - VERY NICE! Steering is light and easy to handle. Super comfy ride to work and school everyday.

  Save Yourself the Trouble - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Marissa - August 1 - 8:43 am

  Although I was initially pleased with my Kia, the last 8 months have been a nightmare. The vehicle had a series of unrepairable problems including the fuel pump, the passenger airbag indicator, and a stalling malfunction. After contacting the attorney general, my dozen phone calls to Kia Motors were returned. Needless to say, it has been deemed a lemon and will be repurchased. Even if the car was not a lemon, I would never purchase another Kia based on their less than adequate customer service.

  3 Kias in the Family! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By 3 Kias in the Family - July 30 - 9:40 pm

  If we didnt believe in the manufacturer we would have never purchased 3; one for myself, Kia Sorento, one for my husband, (Optima EX), and daughter, (Spectra EX). We should do a commercial for Kia!

  Right choice for us! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Patience - June 21 - 3:40 am

  We were owners of a Kia Sportage. We loved it, but really needed something bigger. We simply LOVE this car. It is very classy looking and reliable. It is a great value for what you get! We never had any problems with warranty work on the Sportage, and the same has been true for the Sorento. We are very happy Kia owners! When we first bought the Sportage in 99... everyone wanted to know what it was! Nobody had even heard of Kia at the time! :-) My only regret is the lack of third row seats.

  Gotta Love My Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By JCerio - June 17 - 7:33 am

  So far, so good. It replaced a Chevy Blazer. This is MUCH better. Im happy with the build quality and engine power. Runs great. I live in the Snowbelt and the 4WD works like a champ. Good fit and finish. Plenty of features and performance for the money. Ive had one problem with this vehicle that was caused by ice buildup - they dont get upstate NY winters in Korea - Kia remedied it right away. The service has been top notch.

  Windy in Here - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By windy jim - May 4 - 12:36 am

  I hate to beat up a good thing but the wind noise in my Sorento sounds like the rear windows are cracked for ventilation. After tow visits to the shop its still the same. I really do like my Sorento, thats what is so bad. I would recommend this car to friends if they didnt mind the wind noise.

  never thought id own a kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By cafido - May 3 - 2:06 pm

  My wife and I were looking for a new car or truck when my wife said she would really like an s.u.v. We looked at all of the midsize when I noticed the price and styling of the Sorento. After only two short test drives my wife closed the deal, the ride is great and it handles very well on all terain so far. Just wish it got better gas mileage.
