Kia Sorento

"It doesn't react as much as I'd like it to to road conditions"

"acceleration / handling"

"Have 4 cly engine... would be better acceleration and less noisy with v6. Longer wheelbase would improve handling also..."

"Excellent turning and acceleration, very smooth ride on the highway."

"Would have preferred the 6 cylinder engine. The 4 just has barely adequate power. Mileage advantage is minimal."

"HAD TO HAVE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. NOT HAPPY ON THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED."

"Has good power"

"lacks the burst of speed when needed"

"Great acceleration - very nice handling. Great driving experience"

"Noisy"

"V-6 engine provides excellent acceleration. MPG is poor. Handling is very good. Find the "back-up camera" very helpful."

"good power to accelerate and good traction even in wet weather"

"Very easy to control great on highway"

"Great acceleration and handling; AWD is extremely capable, going up snow-covered hills that stymie pickups with 4WD!"

"The acceleration and handling are good; I just think the ride is a little rough (especially compared to my Ford Explorer)."

"knocking sound when decelerating"

"Handling and acceleration comfort is the best I have had in 44 years"

"Vehicle has excellent acceration. Responsive steering no play in wheel. Very quiet. Brakes are very responsive. Overall little maintenance. No major repairs."

"Good acceleration with responsive handling."

"Great power from the V6"

"For an SUV, the Sorento handles like a car, and is nimble driving in the mountains. To have any get up and go, I have to manually shift instead of automatically. A six cylinder doesn't have that problem."

"Acceleration and handling is good but headlights on low beam are terrible."

"From day one, this car has driven wonderfully. Loved the way it doesn't hesitate when accelerating, no choking at all, it just goes when it should. They improved a lot on the handling in the 2013 version as before you could feel everything on the road in the steering wheel but this model no longer does that. It's smoothness of handling is great!"

"Ride noise is a bit loud and summer stale or mold smell through a/csystem."

"fairly hard ride Quiet inside on road climate control - very good Seats are comfortable and quite adjustable"

"One of my sisters owns a Honda Odyssey van, which was considerably more expensive than our Kia Sorento. During a trip with me, she commented several times that the Kia rode just as well as her van, and was very comfortable."

"outside noise level ishigh"

"First time I had an A/C cooling seat, which is a great comfort item. Unfortunately the car lets us feel the road too much... which over time is making the car noisier on the inside."

"This SUV rides like a truck - rough."

"The suspension is way too stiff."

"Suspension is a little stiff, often causing a bumpy ride. Seats more firm than I like, but I do have heated seats when I need them which is a nice feature."

"Drivers seat is uncomfortable with the edge on left side pressing on the edge of leg and thigh"

"Not enough leg room in rear or third seat. Third seat only good for children. Difficult to access."

"The size is great for me. Saves on gas. The only things that gets to me is it feels like the front windshield leaks air and I can't get the vendor to fix the problem. Other wide I love it. I like their mats but I should be given the option to get theres or the ones I ordered. Next time I won't get theirs."

"The Sorento is adequately comfortable but is noisy and doesn't handle very well."

"A little noisier than I like while driving, especially on highways."

"My wife is MOST comfortable in the Kia front seats. The handling, braking and Bluetooth/Audio are very good. We tried many vehicles before buying this comfortable one. The gas mileage is MUCH below our expectations, and if we could find a hybrid with equivalent seat comfort, we would trade!"

"Very comfortable seats for large man"

"road noise"

"Seats are not comfortable at all. Soft with no support"

"Road noise is not a factor, except on some concrete roads. Seats are comfortable. Forward vision is excellent."

"Noisy"

"A lot of wind noise Drivers back of seat does not sit fully erect and sitting portion does not go level so need to use seat cushion and frequently adjust my posture as I sit very erect. And the headrest prevents me from sitting up erect/straight as it pushes my head forward - so cant adjust back of seat more erect. Need headrests that turn around or adjust so can put forward part of headrest in a neutral position - or need to sit in slouching position"

"The noise is awful. I feel like I'm driving outside the car rather than inside. Then I bought better tires and the noise is not as bad. The tire guy suggested it when I had to buy new tires. I got the wider tires. Made a difference and suggest that new cars have better tires."

"the versatility of electric seats"

"Passenger seat can be moved forward/back but... it CAN NOT be raised - no power control. Using a cushion to make sitting passenger level higher turns off the airbag. Choice: see out the window and risk greater injury or sit lower (mirror obstructs view) and be safer. There was no option to have one in place of the current one. I am short and this makes travel in the Sorento visually limiting."

"seats are too firm & car drifts left and right when in motion"

"front seats not comfortable. Styling inside is great."

"Driver seat is not comfortable on long trips."

"Have the SX version, the seats are very adjustable and comfortable"

"Initially very comfortable, good cushioning, back support, good adjustments. Now after 5 years the seat is not as comfortable and we use a special seat pad for extra cushioning. The back support is still very good as are the controls."

"Seats are firm which i like not too soft & hug the body.allow for plentu of leg room."

"It's a solid, quiet car. Seats are comfortable with good adjustment options"

"The most comfortable car I've ever driven."

"I’ ‘m too big for the seats.. There’s not enough room to get comfortable."

"at 70mph this 6 speed Sorrento gets 28 mpg. Ride is excellent and corners well."

"Seats are comfortable, and don't wear you out on a long trip. Seat covers can not hold up to strong cleaning solvents. Motor makes a lot of noise when revving."

"Noise level"

"I went from a Honda Civic to this Kia Sorento. It was a huge leap but it was at a time when grandkids were visiting frequently and we needed at larger vehicle to get around in. My Kia came with a third seat which has been a Godsend many times. I am at a point right now that I find it difficult to manouver such a large vehicle. Am thinking of getting something smaller and with better gas mileage."

"this car has 100,000 plus and is just beginning to show it's age. It wasn't rated well with Consumer Reports but has been problem free for me. Altho now that the warranty is up it is starting to initiate probs: pass. front door doesn't work from outside, back up camera quits off and on, and remote radio volume control in steering wheel doesn't work. However, the power train is still in good shape. All in all it has been very reliable."

"I am pleased that the highway gas milage has improved with time. On my latest 300 mile highway trip I averaged 26.8 which I consider to be very good for a car this size and age."

"Good: The size of the car and the overall amenities/features are terrific and can't be beat for the price. Bad: I've had issues with the wheels, cooling system, fuel system - all repairs costing me $900 or more. I typically drive cars until 200,000 plus (I've owned toyotas in the past) with only needing to address typical maintenance. I have not had that luxury with the Sorento, thereby making it a poor value for the price due to the high repair bills."

"While thle price was right, this car has had a few body problems, mainly rattles in doors at low speeds. Otherwise, a nice solid ride that is quiet at highway speeds. the navigation screen is quite small and the annoying warning about paying attention to the road pops up every time you start. Good performance, the usual features. Only driver's side ventilated seat; rather an odd decision on KIA's part and we miss it on the passenger seat."

"Fully equipped for much less than other suv's"

"It is a good second car for commuting to work(6 miles)"

"Used consumer reports report on what dealer paid for vehicle as base for negotiation. Price was compartively better than other makes."

"Good value. Reliability excellent. Nice ride with good acceleration. Zero maintenance issues with very good tire wear."

"Get better tires from the start and test drive the car. The interior is good but should be better quality for the price. The sound system can be heard better too."

"I’m not happy with the mileage but every thing else is ok. Dependability is great. No maintenance required except oil changes and tires."

"In 2012 I researched all mid-sized SUVs when looking to purchase a new car after our 1998 Toyota van was wrecked. The 2013 Kia Sorento and the most features for the price, good gas mileage, adjustable seats and good leg room as well as 2.5 extra cubic feet in the back compared to my other choice. It also ranked at the top for safety."

"We feel we received a lot of features for the price we paid"

"Good value for the money. Too many small issues"

"Great size of SUV for the money"

"Good value overall but rust around top of windshield"

"Car is reliable. It uses oil a little more that I would like"

"This is my 2nd Kia Sorento"

"Paint seems poor. Lots of scrathes"

"I came out of a shop one day and found that a silver Lexus SUV was parked right next to my silver Sorento. Although I don't know what the interior Lexus features are, my Kia was just as attractive on the outside as the Lexus."
