Kia Sorento Change Vehicle

"Great gas milage in City and Highway and the power it has."

"Great handling! Accelerates fast and stops fast! Important to be aware of speed because it doesn't feel like you're going has fast as you are going. Fun to drive!!!"

"Poser engine very acceleration"

"The Kia handles beautifully, corners well, and accelerates well. It is a 6-cylinder vehicle."

"Have the V6 and it is very quick acceleration which requires serious handling to maintain control. Good traction even when wet."

"It rides like a truck"

"All wheel drive, accelerates well"

"suspension is very rough"

"Four cylinder engine not powerful enough, transmission shifts too frequently"

"Awesome handling. Involved in head on collision at 45 miles per hour. Slight injury to myself."

"Technically this is an SUV with all wheel drive but it is really useless. Even though is has a dashboard "Lock" for all wheel drive, the reality is that one front wheel and the opposite rear wheel will spin so the vehicle become stuck very easily, like on my own wet grass lawn. It is rediculous."

"Not great in states with mountains and only a 4 cylinder."

"I am very pleased with the acceleration and steering. It has the v-6 engine and is very peppy. The steering is very responsive and has a very close turning circle."

"Does not feel stable on snow and ice."

"I really enjoy the acceleration of the bigger v6 engine, it's very smooth but delivers a very powerful ride. The suspension and handling on the other hand, especially on windy/curvy roads is very ...jiggly. The suspension sort of feels like it's jelly and there seems to be a lot of cabin movement at moderate speeds through winding roads."

"There is a good bit of road noise and the ride is rough."

"i feel it is very peppy and handles very well and the gas mileage at 75 mph is just as advertised."

"the ride is so bumpy never would have bought if testdrive was on an unsmooth road"

"In today's world of expressways where acceleration is required to merge safely, the standard 4 cylinder is under powered."

"Great: acceleration and handling. Smooth and quiet ride"

"Rough ride"

"Handles really well - in the winter also (once better tires were put on since the all weather tires that come with the vehicle don't do well in snow)"

"V6 has power to spare. AWD has never left me stuck in the deep Manitoba, Canada snow."

"The 4 cylinder engine does not deliver enough power."

"quick acceleration and smooth handling"

"Excellent acceleration"

"very good acceleration for passing. takes corners well."

"Handles great. Excellent acceleration for a 4 cylinder"

"Rates HIGH in my 65 years of owning & diving worldwide. Someone will get a great vehicle when I trade it for handicap one next month."

"Amazing acceleration, stays in eco mode even at higher cruising speeds, very quiet engine and drivetrain"

"Once on the highway, it runs well, has a solid feel to it, and has stood up to road trips and family use. The car has great handling especially in traffic and can turn and park as well as just about any car I've had. You forget you're in an SUV. I would get the 6 cyl. if I were to buy this car again, although the engine is strong and the transmission works well, with the A/C on there is a noticeable lack of excelleration"

"It's a 4-cylinder and always feels under-powered. Accelerating from a stop or accelerating to reach highway speed it seems to work too hard. It also felt slow to decelerate, although replacing the suspension improved deceleration greatly. During acceleration it up-shifts at the right time but during deceleration it sometimes downshifts but then changes its mind and reverts. Handling is solid and the small turn radius is great."

"I find that the steering is very easy and not stiff. When I turn I barely have to turn wheel to turn right or left. The speed is well adjusted and I can handle the SuV on the highway and see from the mirrors"

"strong 6 cylinder engine. handles well."

"Handling is good but occasionally, when starting from a dead stop, like at a traffic light, there is a hesitation before the car moves forward."

"It handles so well and is so predictable to drive. The acceleration with the V6 is very satisfying. The braking system (for a large vehicle) is excellent. As a daily-driver, it really checks all the boxes."

"The handling and acceleration is phenomenal. I can stop suddenly if needed and judge with precision how much time I have to stop. I can move between lanes with ease, due to the vehicle having good center of gravity."

"Should have gotten the 6 cylinder instead of the 4. The engine is too small for when the car is loaded or towing small trailer."

"Four cylinders are extremely responsive. First engine died at 98k, but was under recall and was replaced without cost."

"Very comfortable, good visibility and good handling"

"have taken this auto on many a long trip, and it continues to be a fun and safe vehicle to drive. Overwhelming confidence when operating this car. Ample visibility 360 degrees, good power, minimal noise increase with road surface type being the factor. The trips we've done have found us going fill-up to fill-up and no riding discomfort."

"Alk wheel drive. Bought after our 2012 sorento. Happy with both. Would like another 4 wheel drive to hit market"

"Driver's seat is comfortable - front passenger is not satisfactory. I have usd a cusbkon to be able to ride more than 10 miles in relative comfort. The problem was we had to sacrifice the airbag because of the cushion on the seat. Luckily, after several complaints (and ) years of riding 'unprotected' we were to have the problem corrected."

"Lots of road noise. Even the slightest bump in the road was felt. Note that I do not have 2 2011 Kia Sorentos. Looks like something glitched."

"Extremely comfortable cloth seats with manual height and rake adjustments for the perfect position. We live on a section of gravel road and after 7 years, still no rattles or creaks. Acceleration is more than adequate with the V6. AWD is perfect in NH winters."

"Decent ride, comfortable seating"

"Driver side seat. Same comment as the 2015 soul."

"Everything is good except for noise and ride could be better"

"Rides super smooth - like a luxury vehicle."

"Seats are hard.Has a stiff ride."

"Not a real comfortable ride. Tires on the car at purchased time were cheap. Slid in wet and snowy weather (scarey). When we purchased better tires, no issue with sliding and a little more smoother ride but they need better suspension."

"The Sorento is the perfect size, quiet, comfortable, and the best intermediate SUV value on the market."

"Noisy ride Electrical Problems with head and parking lights"

"The back seat is not as comfortable during long rides."

"Too much road noise"

"Seats are not the most comfortable; the fan/climate control needs to be on high- not much difference between 2-4 on the fan levels; ride is somewhat rough, even after replacing struts"

"Good on log distance trips"

"Everything is made for a smooth ride and climate controls are in the back so they can adjust the air control."

"Comfort in regard to seats is great but the ride is stiff which I knew going in but if I had one hing to change it would be to have a smoother ride that's less jarring over bumps and such."

"seats are great, road noise is my only complaint"

"Since my purchase of my Kia Sorrento, I notice the difference in the comfort of the ride now not providing the same ride quality as when I purchased it. Also, the increase of the interior noise distraction now, compared to when I bought this car."

"I am very disappointed with the ride quality. It has a very hard and choppy ride."

"Seats in back not very comfortable. Rough ride. Doors seem rather "tinny" when closing."

"seats are very comfortable- driver in particular. hugs you in. Car is noisy-road noise when driving"

"Sits up high, ride is great!"

"This is our traveling car because it is so comfortable and quiet"

"The heated seats are so nice! I was happy to see the climate control vents for the back seat, but I wish they were a bit bigger. Overall, except for the color, I am satisfied."

"very uncomfortable ride, you feel every crack in the road, like riding in a horse and buggy"

"There is a rattle that is intermittent but the dealer cannot locate and fix. I think it has something to do with the covers to the sunroofs."

"seats are not that comfortable and front seat head rests force your head foward"

"Seats are small and uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time."

"I've got back problems and the back support is great. For the large size of the inside and the engine, I get great mileage and comfort on long trips, also great acceleration. Seems like everyone would like to buy my car as I've been asked not only by dealerships but personal friends if I ever wants to sell it to call them first."

"I'm constantly knocking my head upon entering the vehicle. Once in, it is extremely comfortable. The ride is not smooth, but now many SUV's do have a smooth ride."

"Not very comfortable on long trips. Back and leg issues."

"The seats are extremely adjustable because of specific adjustments I can make to the seat. I can tilt the seat to accommodate my back. The back of the seat and the bottom can be controlled separately. The seats are very comfortable,still! I love the seat warmer for cold days and to help relieve back pain. The ride is good, could be better or worse. The noise is minimal."

"Initially, the ride was relatively comfortable but after approximately 20K miles, it seems that the overall comfort level degraded. Even after replacing the tires the seating becomes uncomfortable after 2 hours or so."

"Good lumber support, love how high we sit, great for long trips, lots of room."

"Rough ride, figured it would be a smoother ride than what it is"

"At highway speeds my vehicle sounds like I have an open window in the back of the vehicle. It’’s very noisey and irritating on fairly long rides on open highways."

"seats are not that comfortable. vehicle front hits hard on bumpy roads."

"For a high-end car from Kia I would have thought the car would have been quieter and a nicer overall ride. That has been my main complaint with the car, it's pretty bumpy when I hit a pothole and not as nice of a drive as other high-end crossovers."

"Smooth ride and driver's seat adjusts to fit either driver well."

"The front end suspension is very rough, noisy."

"adjustable seats, quite interior, smooth ride."

"noisy at speed. relatively comfortable.ride a littleharsh on poor roads"

"The ride is somewhat "choppy" and stiff."

"Too much road noise while driving"

"Shape of seat on sides too rigid and there seems to be a lack of padding. Not an issue unless riding or driving for more than an hour."

"Seats are comfortable. Do not care for the cloth fabric. It stains too easily. The ride is a little stiff but not unexpected in an SUV. There is a little too much road noise at highway speeds. Overall it has been a very good car."

"Great performance and handling."

"low cost to buy, run, maintain, and insure. Reliable and durable."

"I feel like I got a luxury class vehicle for a really good price."

"Just a great vehicle for the money"

"Dollar for dollar, you get more with the Sorento."

"We were very disappointed with the number for mpg on the sticker vs real world. Even on long trips this number was not achievable under the guise that 60 mph achieves the very best possible mpg with any car. This was misleading, and may have resulted in a different choice when buying this car."

"Fuel efficiency is less than Kia led us to believe it would be. Our Sorento averages about 20 mpg, ranging from about 19 to 21 mpg. We never get close to the 29 mpg the dealer said to expect. Other than that, the car is great - very good in snow, ice, and wet roads. The car sets up nice and high and is comfortable to enter and exit - this is hard for me to find at 6' 3". It is also great on rough foresr roads, etc - handles it more lime a truck than a car."

"We receive a good deal from the dealership plus a veteran discount."

"Ride is very smooth and comfortable. The seats are comfortable, and have automatic control, and heated seats. The car is an excellent value for the money, and the long warranty is an added bonus. Its handling, drive, and features are somewhat comparable to some luxury vehicles, and noise is not noticeable. Very satisfied with this vehicle."

"milage sucks suppose to get 39"

"Excelent value. 100,000 mile warranty is a great feature."

"This vehicle is one of the most trouble free cars we ever had"

"The KIA was a good deal. Cost less and still had everything the competition offered. 100,000 mile minor warranty and 60000 drive train. They swapped out the short block at 59,600 due to a noise they didn’t like. 112500 on it now and keeping it."

"No major maintenance problems. Few minor ones fixed in one day. 100 percent dependable vehicle."

"This car was amazing for years and it never seemed to break. Just needed regular oil changes and wipers. At 125,000 everything fell apart. Now there is an engine light that won't quit at 136000 miles, and the transmission, that was always really rough shifting even with software updates and new fluids, is kicking just like a horse. I was just offered a chance to take the engine apart for a minimum of $2000 to see what is wrong and that seems like a bad spend. Even though I am super interested in the Niro which has great efficiency and is the right size, I am terrified that it will fall apart all at once like this car. Neither the transmission nor the engine has been part of the recalls on the Sorento but it belongs to the groups immediately surrounded by those recalls. It's worth nothing with the engine light on, and trading in for another Kia seems like not smart. I am sad."

"The price I paid at new purchase was well under the competitors vehicle of similar style"

"Good value for the features offered"

"Love the complete package, you get a lot for the money, & the handling is easy, & for a 4 cyl. it moves very fast& even tows well."

"good value at this price point"

"never a problem still looks good for many miles"

"As a daily driver, there is so much value within the details of this car/cuv. I love all the things it does well comparable to other automobiles costing so much more. Seven Seats, BU Cam, NAV, V6 engine, great MPG, so comfortable, starts every morning with out issue, low maintenance & low cost repairs. We are very happy and have had the KIA Sorento for many years and many miles. Regarding value, it’s a great, great car. This was our first Hyundai/KIA purchase, but very likely will not be our last. We are hoping they continue to offer excellent automotive options as our automotive needs inevitably will change."

"Decent family car, but lots of little problems that require trips to the dealer. Thank goodness we got an extended warranty."

"Great value"

"Excellent value. 100000 mile warranty can't be beat."
