  • GREAT SUV POOR MPG - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    THe ride is smooth as aluxury car. The moon roof. am/fm, cass. cd sterero sytem are a great investment. The navigation system is another added plus. The electric drivers seat, tilt stearing wheel and cruise control make a long drive an enjoyable experience.

  • best bang for all bucks - 2004 Kia Sorento

    I just bought my new kia. I love the way it looks and the way it handles.It has everything i was looking for in an suv. I am a first time suv owner. I love the warranty the best around, and also the creature comfortes that my kia gives me. There are so many suvs on the market today. I am very happy today that i did the research on owning one, and the new kia serento gives me the best of it all, an suv with all the high marks, and the best for my bucks.

  • Please Recall This Junk - 2004 Kia Sorento

  • Small and thirsty - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I let the style cloud my judgment. This LITTLE SUV is a BIG gas guzzler! I average 12-13 miles per gallon. Most of my driving is city but its not much better on the highway, 18 mpg at best. Does this little SUV need such a big engine? My 2004 KIA Sorento has been very reliable for the 2-plus years Ive owned it, except for the battery and stereo/CD player that have been replaced under warranty. It took nearly 3 months to get the stereo/CD player but the battery was replaced in one visit. I havent had any non-operation problems.

  • Sorento Rocks - 2004 Kia Sorento

    Let me just start by saying I love my Sorento! Not only did it come with EVERYTHING standard, but it was way less than the other car companies. Plus, it has the best warranty ever. Its fun to drive, way stylish, and dont tell Kia, but I think they could get away with pricing it $5000 more and still be way ahead of everyone else.

  • Awesome Ride - 2004 Kia Sorento

    Nice space. Good safety for kids and adults. Ample comfort room to stretch ones legs. Love sitting up so high and really handles the turns well.

  • Pleasantly suprised - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I searched many manufactures for a quality built and reasonable SUV. When I was about to give up someone mentioned try a KIA. I drove the vehicle and was immediately taken by the quality as well as all the options for the low price. It is smooth riding, quiet and powerful. Considering the 10/100,000 warranty they offer I figured they have to be positive their vehicle will withstand time. The dealer was awesome and I was pleasantly suprised at the lack of pressure and great trade in for my 1998 Explorer. Mileage is decent to, so far I am averaging 20-21 mpg combined city/hwy. At this point I would highly recommend this vehicle.

  • We LOVE our Sorento! - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We love everything about our KIA Sorento, and feel bad for those of you that have not had good luck with yours! The only item we do not like is that the sun visors are not wide enough to cover the bright sun. There are too many gaps on the sides, and there are no "extenders" like Chevys have. So ... we LOVE our Sorento, and have used it in 6 feet of Canadas snow, and on the beach in California. It ran like a dream. Go ahead, buy one! :-)

  • Kia s best investment - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    My experiences with the new kia sorento are great.Since the day me and my Wife test drove it and did some reserch we went back to buy it. Since that day we have no regrets. It was the best decision in our lives for our family.we took long trips and short trips 2 miles to 1500. miles and it still feels the same.Its well disigned exterior and interior are beautiful and makes it the best suv in its class.
