  • EXCELLENT - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    WE TRULY THINK FOR THE $$$--OUR SORENTO IS AN EXCELLENT BUY! VERY GOOD LOOKING SUV BUILT ON A TRUCK FRAME. 4WHEEL-HI & LO--4WHEEL-16INCH ALLOY RIMS--245 70R16 TIRES. STANDARD SUN ROOF, HEAVY DUTY EXTENTION. QUIET RIDE, OURS IS FULLY LOADED. WE THINK OUR SORENTO LOOKS BETTER THEN THE LEXUS, ACURA & BMW SUV, WHICH COSTS 10K TO 20K MORE!! WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR SUV, IT HAS FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. OUR CAR INSURANCE WENT DOWN AS IT HAS MANY SAFETY FEATURES. THANKS KIA!!!!

  • Kia Problem - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Bought the KIA Sorento two weeks ago. Have less than 700 miles on it. It is in service to have the whole rear axle, differential and housing replaced. The rear differential was half full of old fluid and metal fragments. This produced a h*ll of a vibration. The axle housing is going to KIA for analysis. No problems with the dealer. They have been very nice, but problems definitely with the vehicle. Hope this is not a prediction of things to come.

    Great looks, value and SUV for money. Must be the best in the market. Compares to SUVs 10K more yet sturdy and well styled and equiped. VERY QUIT AND COMFORTABLE. WATCH OUT EVERYONE!

  • from toyota to kia - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We needed a larger 4x4 than our 2003 toyota RAV4. WE looked at every larger model including Ford, Chevy., Dodge and Toyota. After driving all of the others we settled for the Kia. It drives very well and is most comfortable. The features for the price makes it a very good buy. We have two friends that already own the Sorento, and they are very happy with theirs.

    I HAVE OWNED ALMOST EVERY SUV AND FOUND THAT FOR THE DOLLAR AGAINST THE RETURN IT WILL BE HARD TO BEAT THIS VEHICLE. EXCELLENT WARRANTY. COMPARED AGAINST 3 OTHER SUVS BEFORE I BOUGHT.

    This is a wonderful vehicle! Plenty of room but still easy to park on a busy street. Even my tall family (all over 66") fit comfortably and have plenty of leg and head room. Always get lots of compliments on this car.

  • Sorrento - WOW! - 2004 Kia Sorento

    Great car, great deal, lots of extras for free. I checked and it is $5,000 cheaper than the nearest competition with the same options. WOW!

  • Simple Test - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Drive the rest, then go drive the "Sorento" (a coastal city in Italy) with the exception of gas mileage (because of the gear ratio) there is no question which vehicle looks best inside & out! It is fun to drive, but I cannot rate reliability for its too new, but based on the quality I see and feel, I gave it a "9", plus its got 10yr/100000 warranty to the original owner, 60000 if you transfer warranty to a second owner. Hope this helps!
