  • Worth every Penny - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I purchased a Kia Sorento EX 2005 and after comparing with other SUVs, this Sorento has got to be the most fun and durable to drive..ive hauled many things and every time it was done with ease.. not to mention the 4WD what a blast.. ive had people that have other SUVs tell me that this model is made so solid you hear nothing.. and i would go back to buying another KIA.. for the money this is quality, strong built SUV with a powerful engine under the hood..

    Since the purchase of our Kia Sorento, we have had no problems, no complaints and we actually fight over who will drive it. I won!

  • I love my Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento

    Great vehicle, loaded with features. Lots of power, and the Sportshift is a great feature if you live in the mountains. Handles tight, and the 4WD traction has an aggressive bite.

  • An excellent buy for the money - 2005 Kia Sorento

    This is no less than any famous over priced brand SUVs. More attractive than a Lexus, the interior is smartly designed and you get more free options than even thought they come with it and it is free.I think they will take on the market by storm. After all the Koreans are the most highly educated people in the world.

  • Superb vehicle - 2005 Kia Sorento

    The most for your hard earned buck. No match.Period. Value and Safety in one hot outfit. And the best warranty in the market.

  • luv my kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I enjoy driving my Kia but I will go back to a pickup with my next vehicle. This car makes a little wind noise when on the highway but other than that it is a great bang for the buck.

  • Awesome - 2005 Kia Sorento

    For the price you cant beat the Sorento! A truck frame/ Rear-Wheel drive. This blows all the other vehicles in this class away, except maybe the Lexus or BMW. But then again people with a Lexus or BMW wont probably care about mounting a class 3 hitch. If you buy anything else your getting ripped off.

  • New Soreno - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I recently bought a Kia Sorento because I was having problems with my Dodge Dakota that was not covered by warranty. I prefer manual transmissions, so when I saw how nice the interior was, and the performance of the Sorento, I told my husband this is what I want. I saved myself $40.00 a month in payments, and I love how this vehicle gets around. It has a wonderful warranty, and has plenty of room with comfort. The only thing I might have done differently if I did it over would be to get leather for the interior, because I dress up a lot, and it is hard to keep my clothes straight on velour seating, but it feels great. The gas mileage is not great, but neither was my Dakota.

    A great value for the money, interior detail nice, comfortable and fun to drive, wasnt looking for a KIA, happy with selection. I would highly recommend you test drive. I had been introduced to the Sorrento at a used LEXUS dealer. Check-one out, you wont be disappointed.

  • KIA SORENTO A GREAT SUV - 2005 Kia Sorento
    By -

    After doing some research on the SUV market we chose the Kia. It has great looks, very good ride, excellent engine performance and an overall quality that I would expect from a more expensive SUV. The interior is very well planned and the materials are of very good quality. The Sorento is built on a truck frame giving it a firm ride that I like. It truly is a good off road truck that I can depend on in all types of conditions.
