• Impressive list of standard features, available four-wheel drive, solid construction, high-quality materials, true off-road capability.

• So-so fuel economy, overly rough ride on bumps and cracks.

  Enjoying the Ride - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By tennisfan - November 20 - 8:26 am

  Well after 2 years of ownership, I have to say its been a fun suv. The only issue ive had has been a change of the rotors at 3k miles, which was covered by the warranty. Ive had my oil changed and the 2yr service completed. Installed a pioneer head unit because I wanted ipod and bluetooth support. Sounds great with the factory speakers. Looking forward to the 2011 Sorento.

  My 2nd KIA - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By Faith - June 29 - 7:30 pm

  I have 3,800 miles on my Sorento. Owned a Sportage a few years back and went back for another KIA after my Ford Explorer. The last tank of gas, city driving, 21 mpg accurate check. It is breaking in well because it is a 4WD. For my passengers, I wish the back seat had a bit more leg room. Most of the time I drive it alone anyway. I love the gray interior. The paint must be strong because it has been through 3 hail storms since I bought it. In appearance it is just like a Lexus SUV a couple years old. I love it. I drove many vehicles, of all brands, and the only thing that said "BUY ME" was my KIA Sorento. For traveling to my 2nd home in N. Iowa, the 4WD is a must. Great!

  Love it but...... - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By A. Henson - June 19 - 4:53 am

  Overall, I love the Sorento; however, at <15000 miles, the rotors had to be replaced and now at <28000 miles theyre having to be replaced again. (Not my braking habits! Ive been driving for almost 30 years and never had a problem with brakes!) Also, Ive noticed the hesitation in speed/acceleration during driving. Sometimes its slow to respond in a stop/go situation (slowing to a near stop then accelerating again)...kind of scary. Ive been told its because the vehicle/computer is adjusting to my manor of driving.(? At any rate, still happy with the vehicle overall.

  Luxury and Value Combined! - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By Vikki Smith - May 29 - 4:26 am

  Luxury at a value price! Not a Lexus, not a Mercedes, but for 30k less than these, you cant go wrong! Due to the safety features, insurance rates are extremely fair and reasonable for a vehicle this size.

  Big surprise - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By Mr JP - November 14 - 4:23 am

  In the past 20 years I have owned 9 major brand SUVs. This one is by far the best of the lot. All the other simular SUVs cost more but deliver less. Just take a good look at what Kia offers; it makes me think that any review less then tops would be hard to do. The Sorento EX should sell for at least $28,000 and it still would be a great deal. At $25,000, with a V6, what could you buy that compares?

  FACT: Sorento Is A Great SUV - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By L. walker - September 22 - 1:30 pm

  My experience with Sorento has been very good. The engine response is much better than all other SUVs I drove in its class. It is tight, firm seats, good sound system, sure stopping and solid suspension. I receive compliments on the appearance of my ice blue Sorento...would recommend this vehicle as an excellent buy.

  I traded my Jeep Sport in on this and I dont see myself looking back anytime soon. I love the power and the way it rides. This is my first KIA and It wont be the last.

  Good car, good price - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By dwl6396 - June 28 - 8:20 am

  You can get more car for the money with the Kia Sorento. The drive is very smooth and it looks great. It has one of the best warranties, which is nice. Only downside I can think of is the fuel economy, but even that isnt terrible compared to other SUVs.

  Love my Kia! - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By Randy - January 26 - 10:56 pm

  We purchased our Kia Sorento a few months ago and have fallen in love with it! We purchased it because of the low price, but have found that it has exceeded out expectations! Very comforable and love the "Radiant Red" color. Fun to drive!

  Love My Kia - 2007 Kia Sorento
  By John Dugan - November 12 - 8:13 pm

  Absolutely love my Kia. Excellent performance. Lots of power. Fun to drive. Kia thought of everything with this vehicle. It turns and parks very easily in tight spaces. There is plenty of room for five adults and lots of space in the rear. Gas mileage isnt the best but it is what I would expect given the level of performance/power. Vehicle drives very solid. Handles superb in inclement weather. Only have 1500 miles on it. The only problem encountered was a check engine light coming on which turned out to be a faulty intake sensor. Dealer fixed it in a few minutes and I have not had any other problems.
