  KIA Sorrento - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By DAL 747 - December 10 - 2:03 pm

  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 diego - December 3 - 10:26 am

  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.

  Great SUV for the price - 2005 Kia Sorento

  I love my KIA Sorento. The only thing I would change is the gas mileage it gets. Other than that, its a great SUV.

  Great Car!!! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By ma1kohler - November 13 - 11:51 pm

  We bought our Sorento new in 05 and it just turned 120K miles. The best vehicle I have ever owned. Other than the 2 dozen or so headlights the Sorento has never been to the shop, ever. We are getting ready to buy a new 2012 Sorento and cant wait.

  I use it to pull a trailer to craft shows and because it has a tighter turning radius, I have not had to back up my trailer except when I park it in my drive way! I like being higher on the road and feel safer when I can see more than the rear of the car in front of me.

  Bulb Replacements - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By B Spiller - October 31 - 4:40 pm

  Ive had my Sorento for 4 years and I had to replace the low beams, high beams, tail lights, etc, about 2-3 times per light every year. So far this year (this is March), Ive replaced the low beams twice in the driver and once on the passenger side. I just replaced the driver side yesterday and the tail light is now out. The battery has been replaced 3 times since Ive had it, at 70% of the cost. Does anyone else have these problems? The dealer says there is nothing wrong.

  I Love My KIA! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By theatregrl - October 21 - 4:26 am

  Never thought Id buy a Kia, but I couldnt pass up the value offered by the Sorento. For a reasonable price, I was able to get a nice looking vehicle with fancy features. Ive owned it for 3 months now, and like it more and more. I bought the EX--my only regret is that I didnt buy the luxury package.

  I have wanted a Sorento for about 2 years now. I finally got mine in June and I couldnt be happier. I love driving it. I have put almost 3,000 miles on it already. If I could afford it, I would have 2!

  I have only had my Sorento for a few weeks, but WOW! I cant find anything negative to say about it. I traded in an 04 Jeep Liberty and dont miss it a bit. This Sorento is everything I wanted and then some.
