    The Kia Sorento SUV, V6, is my kind of car. It is what I traded in to get another one. It has get up and go when you need it. It handles well and has amazing safety features. I really love the blind spot sensors. The car rides well and is very comfortable. It will hold all 5 of my grandkids with plenty of room for their stuff. Cowboy Kia in Conroe, Texas, has a wonderful Customer Service Department. They listened to me and helped me find the car I wanted. It took awhile to find light colored interior, but I got it. I look forward to having this car for a long time and getting my moneys worth out of it for sure. I test drove both the V6 and Turbo. The V6 had the power I wanted and thats what I got. I am very excited about my new car!

    If considering the premium package, definitely consider the touring package. You get a much better screen (Nav/multimedia) and the glass roof (panoramic sunroof) is unbelievable. In our case the cost difference was only $44 / month payment wise. So, we got the touring and have not regretted the purchase.

  • Beautiful car, outstanding - 2016 Kia Sorento

    The only reason I am getting another car is , it is to fancy and too much technology for me. Not a thing wrong with it.

  • Great value compared to most other mini suvs - 2016 Kia Sorento

    Great value for the money. Attractive interior, very roomy and handles well. I love the 3rd row seating that folds flat.

    This car is just what we needed for our family of 4. We had a minivan and was looking for a reliable car that we could take on long trips that would hold our luggage and be priced for a family budget...The car is roomy and has plenty of cargo space. It looks great and rides comfortably. It is not too big or small just right in size.

    No storage with third seat. Everything else great.

  • 2nd Sorrento, well worth the money - 2016 Kia Sorento

    We purchased a 2012 Sorento LX a few years ago and loved it. The wife used it for work and traveling back and forth from Houston to New Orleans several times a year. One tank got there straight through. It has held up quite well. No engine trouble due to regular maintenance. We just traded that 2012 in for a 2016 Sorento SX because when you take in every thing, they just give you so much for your money. Very spacious because we have boys with long legs, interior feels like a luxury car, they have cool alloy rims, panoramic sun roof, big screen Infinity radio with Navigation and a sub woofer. Leather seats, separate climate control, 19 " tires and full size spare. The funny thing is , I own a 2013 Sportage and my son a 2015 Forte. We bought them from the same dealership because of the great service, and when go to get our oil change there as well. Even side by side against other SUVs , it stands out and stays very stylish and most of all reliable.

    After months of searching for a crossover/ midsize SUV, Ive finally found it with the Kia Sorento!! Ive looked at Hyundai Sante Fe Sport, Nissan Murano, Nissan Rogue, Ford Edge and the Lexus RX350. I was on the fence with all of them until I decided to check out the KiA Sorento. I fell immediately in love with the Sorento. The interior is luxurious with a lot of well appointed materials. I got the SXL AWD 2.0LT with the merlot nappa leather interior with glossy black exterior. Its a sexy looking SUV !! Plus that panoramic moonroof...OMG...amazing!!! The drive is smooth, the seats are very very comfy with 14 way adjustable seating along with 4 way adjustable headrest. This is a very reasonably priced car with all the bells and whistles. I wish Sorento had a lever to automatically fold up and down the second row seats though but thats ok. My only regret is that I didnt get the technology package (adaptable cruise control, surround view and a few others...) . Nevertheless, Im very happy with my purchase. I actually look forward to driving to and from work now :-)

  • impressed! Ive had the car for 9 months-no regrets - 2016 Kia Sorento

    Go test drive and look at the SXL-I have the 2 row one, I didnt need 3 rows. I got the 2016 almost as soon as it came out after poring over many crossover reviews, test drives etc. I wanted as much in terms of features and comfort as I could get for a decent price.This was by far the best deal for the money I could find. VERY comfortable, great features- LOVE the heated steering wheel.Extremely sharp styling both inside and out.Mine is black on black and even in deep south, was very comfortable last summer in very hot weather. Only thing I didnt get was the very top technology package with the front camera-I do have the rear camera, lane change warning,cross traffic rear warning, navigation, blue tooth, satellite radio, huge sunroof etc. Many usb ports- first 2 oil changes/services very affordable.After suffering through Mercedes Benz after warranty services I will never get one of those German so called luxury vehicles again. A BMW or MB crossover suv with these features wouldve run about 30-40 thousand more and it truly looks just as good side by side and is wonderful to drive.
