  • My First SUV - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    If you are looking for an SUV that handles smooth and not like a jeep, truck, etc. this is your vehicle. Smoothest ride I have ever had.

  • Sorento is a home run - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    The Sorentos handling ease gives a confidence on the road not found with my previous 14 years of SUV driving. Stability, exact performance and security really please me. QUALITY of vehicle build is really treasured, no rattles just a quiet engine PURR and power with all the amenities of the finest EURO vehicles.

    By -

    Transmission: Nissan, Brakes: Bosch, Liomited slip Diffrential; Eaton/Carbon..etc..etc They put together a really nice package..dosent compare to Mazda Tribute..closer to Honda Pilot for a whole lot less. Dont be concerned about the gas mileage..if you do the math you will NEVER eat up the 8 grand you saved plus add the warranty and you cant go wrong.

  • Great Vehicle - 2004 Kia Sorento

    Great driving vehicle. Handles wonderfully. Without 4WD, it still handles well in the snow. Interrior is very comfortable and very pleasant to travel in. Has lots and lots of power. I love my Kia Sorrento EX.

  • Never Thought Id Own a Kia - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    The Kia caught my eye while driving on the highway so I decided to give it a try. I did a ton of research & read all of the Edmunds reviews (Thanks Fellow Sorento Owners!), among others. I test drove the 4-Runner, Pathfinder, Pilot, & Tribute (didnt drive any "American" SUVs) and the Kia won! I got the fully loaded EX w/ tow & self leveling. To get comparable features on the other SUVs I would have paid $8000 - $13000 more! I had to have the Amp and odometer replaced but everything else is problem free. The SUV is GREAT, the Dealer experience, not so great. I truly love my Kia Sorento! Without-a-doubt the best "Bang-For-Your-Buck."

  • DONT BUY THIS JUNK!!!!! - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Constant disappointment. I was told it would take over 5000.00 to fix this junker. Its been sitting for over a year since I found that out. Now I dont know what to do and Im still making payments on it.

  • Sorento is "just right" - 2004 Kia Sorento
    By -

    I fell in love with the Kia Sorento the first time I laid eyes on one in a mall parking lot. I have owned two other SUVs and find the Sorento to be "just right". My complaints are for very poor gas mileage (city 12-13 mpg, highway 18 mpg during a Vegas trip) and excessive wind noise at the sunroof. I LOVE the interior/exterior styling, interior comfort and height, and the solid road handling, especially around turns.
