  Very Nice Ride! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Very Nice Suv Value - November 22 - 11:26 pm

  Recently purchase d05 LX. Color outstanding blue sparkle gray this vehicle has 25000 miles on it. It was a leased vehicle very well maintained. Everything spotless. Have driven similar SUVs and this by far really ranks up there for comfort and performance. 6 cylinder kicks a little punch to it. Gas mileage is definitely the only thing that might be a little weak. But it still is better than a bigger truck or SUV. And looks and comfort are awsome. Lexus lookers stare at it. I laugh. Smiling now.

  GO KIA! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By bsballmomnky - October 24 - 5:10 pm

  I love my KIA! I was not very familiar with the maker of this vehicle and out of the blue drove onto the car to OOK and I walked away buying! I was looking for a reliable vehicle and was told about this stylish vehicle and all of its amenities. I have two sons and we are constantly on the go. I have no complaints or issues except for gas prices. and a wimpy horn. Gas mileage has been comparable to the 4 cylinder I traded in. I have more power and have lost only 20 miles to the tank (tanks being same size as previous car). Standard items such as the aluminum wheels and Michelin tires. I would highly recommend this vehicle!

  Just So Sporty - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By diane - October 8 - 9:03 pm

  After owning a larger SUV and expending quite a bit in money for continuous maintenance I decided to trade in the old and pick up a little Sorento. Much to my surprise, Ive gained a vehicle that is stylish, comfortable, quiet, and just plain fun to drive. Cant say enough flattering things about it.

  a great car for the money - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By chuckdaddy - September 20 - 10:46 am

  did a lot of research before buying this suv. a ton of standard features and great value. the 2005 5 speed automatic (with shiftronic) is much more driveable and gives better gas mileage than the 2004 with the 4 speed auto. great looking car -- resembles lexus r300, acura mdx, and the mercedes m series. mine has the sport package, which includes some nice extras. good acceleration when you punch the gas. the premium michelin cross terrain tires are a plus. (and you get a full size spare on an alloy rim)

  Kia review - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Richard Gilardi - August 23 - 9:40 am

  I am very pleased with the purchase of my new kia sorento. I choose the kia after looking at one that a friend had purchased. I had narrowed it down to three choices,the chrysler pacifica, the nissan murrano, and the kia sorento.The features that the kia offered dollar for dollar was the best value. I liked the nissan murano alot,but was turn off by the fact that it required premiem fuel. The performance is great along with the styling and qulity of workmanship. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great car with comfort and value

  Kia Sorento Shines!!! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Rio - July 25 - 1:46 am

  I purchased the Kia Sorento EX Sports Package in late January of 2005. Fun to drive and very appealing on the outside as well as on in the inside. This car is a head turner. Everyone is impressed by its stylish look as well as its smooth drive. Lots of people are intriqued this Kia SUV, and I just love driving around town.

  My Third Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Kidxpress - July 22 - 1:40 am

  I love this SUV! Its fun, its great looking and functional. From camping to picking up groceries ... I couldnt be happier. This is my third Kia; first I had the Sephia, the the Kia Sportage convertible (super fun) and now as my kids are bigger, the bigger Sorento is awesome. Has the same interior as my moms Lexus!

  I have been very pleased with the Sorento, its looks and its extreme value. If someone wants an SUV for an extra vehicle, it is a perfect combo of utility, value and function.

  Great! - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By cj033172 - June 13 - 12:46 am

  Drives great and handles well. Does not feel like you are driving a truck like many other SUVs. It makes for a smooth and comfortable ride. We have all the bells and whistles in our Kia Sorento and would recommend it to others.
