  Great car for the price. - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By Brenda - July 14 - 11:16 am

  I just bought this car earlier this week and have to say that so far so good. I got out of driving a gas guzzling V-8 and I have been driving the Sorento all week and gas gauge has hardly moved down at all. Easy to get in and out of with two toddlers and easy to find a parking spot. You get a lot of car for the money. Fun and easy to drive. Handles great in town and on the freeway.

  I would do it again.... - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By TeeBrock - July 8 - 6:47 am

  Great all around vehicle. Low maintenance other than routine stuff. Great in the snowy midwest. Lacks a bit in the fuel mileage, but its a trade off.

  sorento garbage - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By christine - May 18 - 1:16 am

  I bought a Kia again because I had such exceptional quality with the first one. Then I bought the Sorento and have had nothing but issues with it. In the last 4 weeks I have dropped $3000.00 into it from things not covered under the warranty. Things that should last longer than 3 years. Drive shaft, AC compressor. I will never buy another Kia product again and have made statements online and to allmy friends and family not to buy Kias because they fall apart after a couple of years.

  Poor MPG - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By Judy - October 6 - 10:20 pm

  I have no problem with the car other than the MPG is really poor. I get around 16 in the City and around 21 on the Highway. With todays gas prices that hurts. It is comfortable, but wish there was more adjustment options in the driver and passenger front seats.

  My first Kia - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By L - August 28 - 4:50 pm

  This is my first Kia and I really like the Sorento EX. I heard pros and cons about the Kia Sorento when I was shopping around, but after comparing several SUVs, I like the interior and exterior design of the Sorento the best. We travel a lot and the ride is very comfortable and its fun to drive!

  Happy Newbie - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By Emann - June 24 - 4:20 pm

  I just purchased the 2006 Sorento with 35K 4x2 5 speed manual. The 3.5 L V6 has more power than it needs which will hopefully last much longer as a result. What little body roll there is, it is very steady and comfortable around tighter curves and corners. The steering radius is extremely tight and impressive. I am fairly confident that I will be remaining a happy customer. Cheers!

  Not so sure... - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By lindsey1242 - June 19 - 11:37 am

  I just bought my Kia less than a week ago and these reviews are scaring me. Probably should have looked at reviews before I bought... Anyway, I really like everything about the car so far except today I turned on the head lights for the first time, and the dome and map lights come on with the head lights and so far I cant get them to turn off while the headlights are on. I really dont want to drive at night with all the lights on inside the car. Shucks. I hope this wasnt a bad choice.

  SURPRISING - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By jc - June 8 - 9:16 am

  My latest new Kia Sorrento LX 2WD wasnt "the car" I wanted to buy. I am glad I got it. It has shown excellent performance, and its design and engineering put you in total control. This car is a great mini SUV. Fuel economy (highway driving) has been 14mph average so thats a bit disappointing with todays oil prices. Ive tested it on windy, normal, foggy, rainy, snowy conditions with huge success. No fear of ever losing control. The design and engineering are way at the top for this car! Overall Im one pleased KIA buyer. The interior is also decent, could use more perks, and Im into leather, but hey Id recommend it to anyone seeking a good balance of car to price. Make a good deal & get one.

  Thanks for such a great SUV. I love to drive my KIA. It handles very well on curves. I like the room it has inside for my family, yet it feels like a smaller SUV. I has a good ride and is comfortable on long trips.

  Love My Sorrento - 2006 Kia Sorento
  By Steve - April 19 - 9:16 am

  I bought this as a demo, with 12000m. I love it and only a few minor problems the dealer dealt with. Fun factor of 12 out of 10. Front brakes will need to be turned at 15000m. Keep that in mind.
