  Kept my family safe in a serious collision! - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By Laura - July 30 - 8:31 am

  Coming off of a Lexus RX, I was concerned that it wouldnt feel as luxurious. Although its stiffer and less "designed", I fell in love with the Sorento immediately upon driving it off the lot. Its tough but not trucky, comfortable but not couch-like, and big but not cumbersome. It has great pick up and drives like a car, and I happen to think it looks pretty darn cute on the road. Having said this, the reason Im writing this review is that I was in my first car accident in my 38 years just this week. I was T-boned, and before I knew what had happened I realized the car was flipping. SUVs by nature may be more likely to roll, and that may be a deterant to some, but in this instance I think it was a blessing. I believe the roll helped lessen the force of the hit, which struck my childs door. As I understand it, T-Bones can be very catastrophic, especially to the person in the receiving seat. Between the airbags, restraints, and general contour of the car, when the car came to rest we were completely unscathed. Completely. The moment I can, I will go get another Sorento and will feel safer than ever. And thank you to the designers of this car for helping me walk away with my son!

  !!! MUST BUY !!! - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By M S - March 24 - 2:18 am

  I just bought a loaded 2016 KIA Sorento SXL with the Technology Package and the 3.3 peppy V6 . Having owned a Lexus RX before, luxury SUV and KIA was simply not on my radar until I inadvertently came across an online article about this Sorento that piqued my interest. So after 18 hours of online research and watching YouTube video reviews, I was amazed to read the many glowing written reviews and hear the positive video reviews of this newly designed seven seat Sorento. A trip to the KIA dealer ensued and I am so glad to have went. This 2016 KIA Sorento SXL blew me away when I saw it up close and drove it. Rick Jacobs at Fucillo KIA knew this SUV inside and out, he answered every question I threw at him. With the Sorentos luxurious curb appeal, the way it handled, its numerous safety features, its voice activated navigation, long warranty and beautiful two tone ivory and black Nappa leather interior, I was hooked. After 6 months of driving my Kia Sorento, I am completely satisfied! It is everything I had hoped and expected this SUV to be. There have been no issues at all!!! Incredibly quiet cabin and comfortable Nappa leather makes driving this Sorento a pleasure. Would definitely encourage others to buy this vehicle!!!

  Temperamental, unreliable BSD system - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By Cecile - March 4 - 2:39 pm

  We bought this beautiful, expensive car specifically for the added safety features. From the start, we have had ongoing problems with the blind spot detection system. It randomly fails. This happens under all types of road and weather conditions, without warning. The system sometimes spontaneously resets itself, and sometimes it does not. Our smart key entry also failed once. We could not enter the vehicle with either of our smart keys...we had to pull out the manual key to get into the car. On another occasion, the entire sound system failed! This lasted until we turned the car off and restarted it. Needless to say, our vehicle has been in and out of the dealership service area many times...with absolutely no resolution to the problem. This is the most beautiful, most expensive, and most unreliable car that we have ever owned. KIA should replace the car with a reliable one!

  Not a Borrego....but close - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By Dan - January 12 - 6:01 pm

  The new Sorrento has a more grown up feel....bigger and more of a presence.....like the Borrego of 2009. That SUV is now one of the most sought after used SUVs in the market. I love my Borrego and wish Kia would have continued the large SUV format. At least this version of the Sorento is larger and has a substantial road presence. I was torn between the new Pilot and this version but the warranty and past Kia performance convinced me to continue my Kia loyalty. I hope the Teleride is released soon.....it looks like the awesome full SUV that Kia needs.

  Awesome Vehicle - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By CD - October 30 - 2:16 am

  I purchased this car because of the value and the bells and whistles the car has to offer. Everywhere I go: work, pleasure, people stop and admire my vehicle. I live in the Tahoe (California) area, where we had an epic snow season last winter. The vehicle was just gliding thru the snow covered roads, no sliding, no worries. I do highly recommend the vehicle.

  I tested them all! - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By H. Danis - October 13 - 8:29 am

  I started searching over a year ago for the best 3 row SUV that was affordable, great looking, and gas worthy. I first liked the Rogue but quickly changed my mind on that. It has great gas mileage but the third row was ridiculous. The new Rogue has the second row raised as if you are sitting in a movie theatre. I hated that and it felt really strange being higher up than the front row. That was a deal breaker for me. The Murano is over priced and so is the Pathfinder. The Pathfinder was gorgeous but the base model doesnt have the basics like blue tooth and Sirius Radio. The next trim model that offered it was 6,000 more. The Pathfinder also received weak reviews for reliability. I drove the Mazda 9 and loved it but the extremely low gas mileage (combined) is only 16. Thats unacceptable for a car like that. One would think Mazda would make a car with better gas mileage. I also drove the Highlander and it has a lot of room, but I felt it over priced and not very attractive. I do remember driving a 2014 Kia Sorento and was not impressed back then. However, I read the Sorento was getting a face lift so I went and checked it out. What a surprise. It is gorgeous and the fit and finish is great. I read all reviews on all SUVs and took the time to finally select the 2016 Kia Sorento. I love it. It feels like a luxury car and it is very quiet. Kia has come a long way with their line of cars and SUVs. I have one in Black with a black interior. I am a picky shopper and I am glad I purchased the new design.

  Fantastic Find - 2016 Kia Sorento
  By John Uhden - September 18 - 9:44 pm

  The Kia Sorento EX 6/AWD is a fantastic auto. I had had my mind set on a GMC Terrain, but there is no comparison, not even close. Our Kia is so quiet yet so powerful. There are no more bumps in the road, and it handles almost as well as my Honda Accord did. It came with third row seating, heated leather seats, the back-up camera, lane warning, and power liftgate, all of which i strongly recommend, oh, and all those electronic thingies. With the flat folding rear seats the cargo space is huge, and they are easy to operate. It has a power passenger seat and even the second row reclines (separately left and right). Our ride from NJ to Maine was actually enjoyable, plus we got 25 mpg at 80 mph! We put $5000 down and are leasing at only $300/month for 36 months. With 5000 lb towing capacity it will be a breeze towing our boat up to Maine in July. We are thrilled with our decision. Gotta deal with Tom Brennan at Sansone Jrs. in Neptune, NJ.
