  Well-built - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By John D - March 5 - 2:00 am

  I was impressed with the way the car handled and the comfortable ride. Also it was very quiet compared to my Ford Escape. Im satisfied with everything about the car so far. Ive had it 5 months and driven 5000 miles. The rear sensors and rear camera are very convenient for people that may have a problem turning to check whats behind them. Very nice vehicle. Has it all over the Escape I had.

  Sorento Shocker? - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By nickelhorse221 - February 15 - 2:53 am

  Well love the styling. cant beat all the options for the price. But could there be a downfall to all this value? Ive had my sorento just over 2 weeks. I have rattles and all kinds of noises for one. Now, my transmission is acting up. Has 1000 miles on it. Put it in drive and it acts like it doesnt want to go forward, then JUMPS forward and goes. Floor mats are completely falling apart for no reason, and the ride is very stiff. NOT what I expect from a 30,000.00 SUV.. I thought Kia came a long way, but man, I wish i would have bought something else. Never Never Never will I buy a Kia again. Im sticking to VWs from here on out!

  Best of the rest - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By Jack - January 17 - 6:40 am

  We shopped several SUVs, crossovers and vans. Was a big fan of Toyota. This vehicle has us "converted". I am a big man and I have plenty of room behind the wheel/passenger. We opted for the 4 cyl as this gives us plenty of pep and decent mileage for our driving style. Just roamed the WV mountains and had no lack of power up & down hills. Is a treat to drive esp when compared with our Sienna. Plenty of storage space and room for our dogs to roam. Comfortable! Keep up the good work Kia, we will be back!!

  Never buy a Kia - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By fullofregret - December 13 - 5:27 am

  Purchased the Kia Sorento Sx because consumer reports rated it very highly and they recommended it. (They have since taken away their recommendation). I had the vehicle for a year and in that time it was in the shop six times to try and repair squeaks and rattles. The drivers seat would squeak, they replace the back of the seat and a month later it too started squeaking. Rattles were happening from beneath the console in the doors and the sunroof. Once the dealer told me that the squeaks were coming from my sunglasses in the sunglass compartment. Of course when I took the sunglasses out, the same rattles were happening. I traded my Kia in for a Grand Cherokee and took a $11000 bath!!!

  Suspension Design Defect - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By mark - December 12 - 5:36 am

  Nice car with the exception of a design defect in right front strut. Comes about after 200+ miles, rattles like a failed shock absorber. Kia has admitted to the problem but has no fix as of 5/10/10. Applies to all 2011 sorentos. My dealer spent a week trying to fix before Kia told them there was no fix. If I knew ahead of time, would not have purchased.

  Best SUV deal with fully loaded features - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By lin - December 12 - 12:43 am

  Compared with many other brand, such as Hyundai, Chevrolet, GMC, Lexus, Acura, Honda, Toyota this is the best deal with touch screen navigation radio sound system package. It will be perfect if the trunk space is 2 inches longer than it is now. Blue tooth is great for cell phone. This car should come with at least one memory button for the driver side and step up bar should be standard with both sides. Ride and handling are great so far. This 2011 sorento is a great choice for personal and/or family use. Great!

  What can I say about the 2011 KIA Sorento SX..."WOW!" - 2011 Kia Sorento
  By heyofficer - December 10 - 12:51 pm

  My Husband and I were looking for a new SUV, and were sick of seeing all the "cookie cutter" and common Honda Pilots, Toyota Highlanders, RAV4s and CRVs that it seemed were everywhere. Boring and tired looking, and their owners were looking equally boring and tired! So we shopped and shopped. Test drove and researched. Then after all the info was collected, we bought a new 2011 KIA Sorento SX in February. I drive it daily, and my husband and I have been on some longish trips to Las Vegas, too. We sold our Mazda, but this new KIA actually beats the rest when compared feature to feature, overall quality, looks and reliability. KIAs 100,000 warranty is icing on the cake!

  We just bought our 2011 Kia Sorento and it is wonderful. It has been a joy to drive. It is very smooth and comfortable. Also it is very economical on fuel which helps during this day and time.
