  neat mid size suv - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By gary - September 10 - 7:13 pm

  Have been very happy with my Sorento. The only short coming is the 18-20 mpg I get drive -- mix city and highway driving.

  I LOVE MY SORENTO - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Roadturtle - September 5 - 6:33 pm

  So far I am very impressed with my Sorento. A perfect size 4x4 for me. Fit and finish is excellant. Good ride. I am getting 16 mpg around town. I drive 99 % around town, the other 1% frwy, and off road in the desert. I received $ 5000 off MSRP. Great price for a better than average 4x4. The warranty was the deal closer. Cant beat it. I would truly recommend a KIA to anyone.

  BETTER VALUE FOR YOU DOLLAR - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By SUS56 - August 25 - 7:30 pm

  WE LOVE THE SORENTO SUV, THERE IS NO BETTER WARRANTY OUT THERE ESPECIALLY FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY. STORAGE IS GREAT, INTERIORS ARE HANDSOME AND PRACTICAL. WE ONLY ADDED CUSTOM, COLOR CODED RUNNING BOARDS FROM A VAN CONVERSION PLACE AND THIS REALLY ADDED TO THE SHARPNESS OF THIS VEHICLE. EVERYONE THINKS IT IS A LEXUS, GUESS THAT WOULD BE A GREAT COMPLIMENT. YET THE PRICE IS MUCH MORE AFFORABLE.

  Best SUV for the price - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By unknown - August 21 - 12:33 am

  In the Oregon mountains, we have lots of snow and this small suv with the big ground clearance out drives our Ford Explorer. Our Sorento has every extra known to man and is $7 to $10,000 cheaper to buy than any suv outfitted as nice. Best of all the Sorento is a pickup truck on a luxury body. It is tough.

  Kia Sorento EX An Unbelievable Value - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Doug Seaman - July 26 - 12:13 am

  This vehicle will take over many other top selling SUVs as its reputation gains credibility. When my wife said we WERE going to look at a Sorento I LAUGHED. I went along for the ride and was impressed. We also looked at Lexus, Trailblazer, Hyundai Tucson & Buick. Kia Sorento won hands down!

  My New Toy - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By C E Camacho - July 22 - 7:26 pm

  The Sorento was the last SUV in my list of cars I was contemplating buying. It fell right within my budget, and once I test drove it, I knew it would be the SUV Id be buying. I also spoke to a mechanic friend of mind who sold me on the Sorentos reliability and good looks. This is my first SUV and love the handling and security it gives me once inside.

  2005 Kia Sorento 4WD SUV , LOADED - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Charles - July 5 - 9:30 am

  This car really drives nice in town and on the road. It has good storage space with the seats letting all the way down and with the back seats up. It has extremely good storage in the passenger compartment for books, knickknacks etc and two user friendly cup holders in the front and about four in the rear. Easy access to the rear storage arear thru either the glass hatch or the full hatch.

  Sorento ex - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Linda - June 15 - 10:20 pm

  I really love this car. I was very hesitant to even consider a foreign made auto, but I was stopped next to a sorento Ex at a red light and couldnt take my eyes off. So I immediatly rushed to the nearest dealer to test drive. It is very smooth to drive, and exceptionally roomy. The exterior is aero dynamically designed. I purchased the 2-tone ex model. It is just amazing how many options are standard equipment. Kia has done a superb job. The gas mileage could be better, but it is a small price to pay when safety is involved. Wheel base is short,makes for a slight uncomfortable bump over speed bumps, etc, but overall, this is a fabulous car. All I need now are arm rests

  By joseph d. proctor - June 15 - 5:23 am

  I chose this vehicle for the following reasons: 1. The price 2. It doesnt have a whole lot of road noise 3. It has a standard V-6 engine. 4. It has a great standard warranty. 5. And most importantly my wife liked the way it looked.
