  My KIA - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By homecollector - October 5 - 10:00 am

  I drove and tested several SUVs from the Lexus and Acura to the Honda and Ford - I like the design, performance and interior of my KIA better than the others. It is a great SUV. Remember to change the timing belt as instructed at 54,000 miles.

  2005 LX, 5 Speed Manual, Sport Package - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By simon609zp - October 5 - 10:00 am

  Very comfortable. Priced unbelievably competitively. Looks great, rides great, handles great. I know Im in the minority buying a stick shift SUV, but with the Sport Package its just like driving a sedan.

  Lots of fun to drive. The tide is better than reviews show. Great ride for the price. Have experienced minor electrical problems with the outside temperature display.

  Worth every Penny - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Emi. P. - August 13 - 1:33 am

  I purchased a Kia Sorento EX 2005 and after comparing with other SUVs, this Sorento has got to be the most fun and durable to drive..ive hauled many things and every time it was done with ease.. not to mention the 4WD what a blast.. ive had people that have other SUVs tell me that this model is made so solid you hear nothing.. and i would go back to buying another KIA.. for the money this is quality, strong built SUV with a powerful engine under the hood..

  Since the purchase of our Kia Sorento, we have had no problems, no complaints and we actually fight over who will drive it. I won!

  Perfect BUY - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Daniel R. - July 18 - 2:30 am

  We purchased this vehicle so that we could pull our two pwcs. The Sorento not only pulls the pwcs really well, but it has been a great vehicle. We are so happy to have purchased this vehicle and we will definitely look at Hyundai and Kia again.

  Youd want this in your driveway - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By JTE7690 - July 11 - 12:06 am

  I bought my 2005 Kia Sorento because my Mitsubishi Eclipse was getting too small. I looked at the Ford Explorer V6 and also the Toyota Highlander. I loved the way this one looked and drove. I must recommend the EX 4WD model because it rides sooo much better then the LX. Especially if you want the moonroof and the power seats!

  I love my Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Myles - July 5 - 8:00 am

  Great vehicle, loaded with features. Lots of power, and the Sportshift is a great feature if you live in the mountains. Handles tight, and the 4WD traction has an aggressive bite.

  Gas Guzzler Galore - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Katherine - June 28 - 4:26 am

  I liked the styling of this vehicle because it was close to a Lexus but better in price. I have been a Toyota owner for years and decided to try something different. I should have stayed with what I knew. The Sorento is horrible on mpg. You can actually see it being drained from the tank by the gas hand on the dash. I drive a lot and good mpg means much to me.I am trading this vehicle in after only owning it 6 weeks. If you are looking for good gas mileage DO NOT BUY A KIA!

  An excellent buy for the money - 2005 Kia Sorento
  By Samir Awad - June 27 - 3:30 pm

  This is no less than any famous over priced brand SUVs. More attractive than a Lexus, the interior is smartly designed and you get more free options than even thought they come with it and it is free.I think they will take on the market by storm. After all the Koreans are the most highly educated people in the world.
