2013 Kia Sorento

Do Not Buy A Kia

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 15,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"I bought this car in September 2012. It was the new 2013 Kia Sorento. In 8 months it's been back to the dealer 4 times. I've never had a car that I've had to take in to the shop for anything other than regular upkeep. The car has no power! It can barely go up hills at the speed limit. The interior is cheap and rattles a lot. The car is uncomfortable and has really bad blind spots. I am sorry I purchased this vehicle."

2014 Sorento SXL

By EdC (TX) on Tuesday, May 14, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 250

Pros: "Price, options, power, handling."

Cons: "Documentation for all of the new options."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Owned 2012 Sorento SX and loved it. Especially liked the engine power and road handling. Had minor concern with torque steer until I adjusted to the power of the V6. The seating was comfortable and the navi was very accurate. My wife even learned to love it but the lack of a power liftgate made it hard for her to use for shopping (she's tiny). Traded in the 2012 SX for the 2014 SXL this weekend and have been blown away by the upgraded quality of the interior. More power and the handling is even better top my lists and my wife loves the Nappa Leather and power liftgate. Seems most people don't look at a Kia if they want upgraded options so the dealer was more that willing to negotiate a very good deal (for me) since they wanted my gently used 2012 Sorento for their "pre-owned" lot."

Great vehicle but gas mileage isn't what they said

By Russ (NH) on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 30,000

Pros: "Everything"

Cons: "Gas mileage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"My Kia has been an awesome vehicle for our family. We have driven it to Florida from New England twice and it is very comfortable, reliable and all around great. The only drawback is that the gas mileage is far from what they originally said. Count on 24-26 MPG combined on those long trips."

Dont waste your money

By Jo D (OK) on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 80,000

Pros: "One thing and the only thing I liked was the fob."

Cons: "small, cheaply made, piece of junk"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"We have had this car for approx. one year and it has been in the shop more then any other car Ive owned in my life. Now I know why they give you a warranty for it. Its poorly made, cheap plastic, uncomfortable and I think my sons four wheeler has more get up and go. We have 4 children and its claim that it can fit six people is a joke. The last "row" is extremely small and can only fit one child. If you have a child sitting back there they get either too hot or to cold because the air does not circulate back there very well because of the middle seat is too high. Just traded it in, so glad this nightmare of a car is gone!!!"
