  I love my Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Omar - May 31 - 6:53 am

  All I gotta say to anybody that is thinking of buying a kia sorrento is GO FOR IT!.. We recently bought a Kia Sorrento Ex for 28,000 and as a test drive we took it to Vegas. This car accelarated incredibly well we were passing every car on the way on the way up to mountains of 3000 and 4000 feet of elvation.... It is incredibly comfortable and sporty... Honestly people go get one if you can I strongly recommend it....

  KIA MY LEXUS - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By DEBRA ADEN - May 14 - 4:50 am

  This car has been a great joy to drive as well as so many features that are on the car. We looked at more expensive cars and couldnt find a reason why the Kia Sorrento should not be considered a tremendous value for the money.

  I picked Kia over Chevy and Ford - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Suzy - May 1 - 3:50 am

  I bought my Kia after driving both the Ford Escape and the Chevy Trailblazer. I traded a Chevy Blazer Extreme for my Kia. It has much more room than the SUVs we test drove. And I love it.

  KIA DAYS - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Frank - April 16 - 7:10 am

  If you forget about the poor mileage, (you can almost see the dial on the gas gauge go down while driving), everything else is splendid. My wife and I love our KIA Sorento. It looks great, rides well, and has the get-up-and-go that you want in an SUV. The real challenge at KIA is to get more people interested in the vehicle. This SUV truly is a hidden treasure. PS: A side note to the engineers at KIA. Come on guys. In this day and age, with the price of gas sky-rocketing, youve go to do something about fuel efficiency.

  Impressed with the Sorento - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By amatechsan - March 28 - 11:53 pm

  The Sorento wasnt among the cars we intended to check out. Upon reading the reviews, we added it to the list. The test drive was so smooth, we bumped it up to our top three. When the Honda guy told us that the Sorentos are viable competition to the CR-V, we knew the Sorento was the one to buy.

  Good deal - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Steve - March 2 - 5:43 pm

  Overall very good vehicle. Drives well and handles well. All the features of the luxury package are very enjoyable. Well built for the money you will spend. Had some electrical issues with the overhead display console-temp/altitude etc. Good to see that Kia is using a major brand tire (Michelin). Great Job.

  WORTH THE PRICE OF FUEL - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By J - February 4 - 3:10 am

  This is my second Sorento and I love it more than the first! The accident that wrecked the first one would have killed a vast majority of drivers in other SUVs. I walked away without a scratch and was back on the road in a new one the next day. I am extremely pleased with all aspects of the vehicle. Though a pair of 17 or 18" aluminum rims should be available. My new Sorento is often mistaken for a Lexus because of its awesome styling. The interior is top notch. For the money this is easily the best value available. You can load this thing with all the options, put aftermarket accessories and customize it for less than many other inferior SUVs. A perfect fit for even the most critical buyer.

  love my Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By becki - January 24 - 11:46 am

  I love my little SUV . I couldnt imagine living without it. I test drove a lot of SUVs and this one was my favorite. For the price and the way it handles on the road, its great. I plan on trading it in in two years for a new one. I have never done that before. Excellent Kia!

  The Best SUV for the money - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Joe - October 11 - 6:40 am

  This SUV is definitely one for the record books. It has all the frills without the bills. In other words it doesnt cost a lot to own. Well worth the money and great value. Santa Ana Kia has the best service too. They do free oil changes, wash your vehicle all with a smile.

  Sorento Review - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By LX - September 19 - 3:23 pm

  I just recently purchased my Sorento. It is fun and easy to drive. There is a lot of leg room for the driver and for passengers . My boyfriend is 64 and fits comfortably in the drivers seat as well as the passenger seat. There are a lot of compartments in the back and a lot of space. I am really happy with my purchase.
