[PRNigga23]

toyota rav 4 has no luxury at all except for the sunroof!!!

[Annihilator1111]

the 2002-2009/ 2007-2009 (Russia assembly) Kia Sorento was assembled in

Hwasung, South Korea

Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia

[Ranger4488]

Got one and love it...the end!

[Sivek1]

@Ranger4488 Would you recommend it for buy? Any issues? What is cool about this car?

[subzero92MK]

this is my favourite kia car...i think the best one

[corkeyinspee]

with the power and construction of komatsu digging machines.!!!

[TourDeSomewhere]

This car looks so sturdy on the outside, but the interior quality is a bit of a let down....But the new 2011 Kia Sorento is even better...looks more like a high end crossover with a very luxurious interior...can't wait for my sorento to arrive next year!

[watsuamaem]

Hyundai, Kia have virtually got nothing to blame these days, actually the best car money can buy,, but any other choice?

you are simply throwing away the best value option, period, Don't be a fool to go by old stale name brand, You can not afford to fool youself in the toughest economy now

[KandeeMann2001]

i'm confused. why do people keep comparing the Sorento to the CR-V and the RAV-4? both of these are compact 'utes, and a more reasonable comparison would be the Kia Sportage. i'd think the Sorento better compares to the Pilot and the Highlander. seeing a Sorento parked next to a CR-V makes the comparison even more confusing. LoL. the Sorento is the BIG truck. nearly as big as the Acura MDX in size. so CR-V and RAV-4? maybe it's the price range i guess. but hey - that's just my humble opinion.

[pcmr57]

totally agree with you.

[er1115]

I agree.

[elpenaroll]

@KandeeMann2001 trueeeeee 

[briansolomon]

This guy reminds me of Sheldon on big bang.

[ILVRACN]

I actually like this! It looks really nice.

[PWR27]

i like kia my wife and i r currentley looking for a new suv i was looking at the pontiac torrent or the chevy traverse i am a GM guy but both GM vehicles start at 30k awd u get ur bang 4 ur buck with a kia but i think GM builds better quality i use to work at kia in the service department but like i said fully loaded kia at 30k and i do like the style of the sorento i think we will be happy

[LivingFit365]

I'm the original owner of a 2003 Sorento. 75k miles so far. It's been off-road, city, highway. I drive 60 miles each day. I never once had to look under the hood. Drives perfectly, runs perfectly, still in great shape. The styling is still modern and people think it is new - amazed when I tell them it's an '03! I highly recommend KIA! Much better than a GM, just as good or maybe better than Honda or Toyota, best value for the dollar fully loaded. I highly recommend checking out KIA.

[TourDeSomewhere]

Kia is really coming up... cheap, powerful and good. This has got to be the one of the best SUVs out of Korea... what else is better from Korea?

[dragonstorm83]

I test drove the car. It has a lot of power. a smooth ride. I liked the cloth seats better than the leather. The 3.3L engine is smoother than the 3.8L. I wish they would put sunroofs in all their models though. I don't want 4x4, but I would have to get the LX 4x4 to get a sunroof with the 3.3L engine. The alpine gray is the best color in my opinion. The black interior is the best, also. The Borrego is NICE, but I just don't need all that power; it is worth a look. Kia and Hyundai are coming up.

[hysonata]

so im going to change my v6 tucson to a 2008 or 2009 lx sorento

[jlearne]

2009 Sorento LX is been redesigned.

[JakeHustle2]

KIA is not a great car like toyota and honda, KIA lacks the reputation that toyota and honda's have..

[dragonstorm83]

yes, even if a car company has improved to the point where it is winning the awards the reputable companies were winning, we should not buy their cars because they are not reputable. car companies don't get better. we should all just stick to what we have always used because car companies do not compete to be the best. the best are the best, and the rest are just there for poor people. HONDA IS MY MASTER!!!

[Muriness1]

KIA has a better waranty that TOYOTA and HONDA and they STAND BY THEIR CARS.

[JakeHustle2]

better warranty doesnt mean they make good cars! they dont have toyota's good reputation!

[Muriness1]

KIA does make good cars, I own a KIA (2004 Kia Optima) and its very reliable, saves gas and NEVER LEFT ME STRANDED. KIA does not have Toyotas reputation BUT KIA has come a LONG way from what they used to be. and TOYOTA and HONDA started off just like KIA did.

[sorento123]

i agree with muriness1...my mother has a 03Spectra..its very realiable...and the public is accepting Kia & Hyundai way faster then Toyota & Honda was a long time ago, giving time Kia's reputation will be on par with Toyota's, the Korean comp. resale value are now on par & better then some domestic companies

[Muriness1]

THANK YOU!! People rather throw their past in their face when they are CLEARLY Improving and growing every day

[dakidakov]

They don't have the reputation but Kia has the same quality as Toyota, cuz think. If Kia were crap and they gave Such a long warranty for everything people will start to return faulty cars and Kia Would go bankrupt from repairing KIas. So i think this warranty Which Kia Gives is to show that they are really confident in their car's Quality. END

[vlbhb]

i had one of those as a rental car in florida fuckn fast and light

[smukai2]

To get a point. Sorento is not that bad of a SUV, but it lacks alot of quality, Its just that people buy them cause its Cheaper.

for example, a Toyota Coaster vs a Hyundai Minibus, Toyota costs 3 times more, but guess what, those minibus die in 2 or 3 years of 12Hr/day use. And the Toyota Coaster will last forever with only seals change every 250,000 miles

[pissanmicrasucks]

Buying korean or japanese cars kills jobs in europe and the US. SAY NO RICE COOKIN CRAP!!

[hungry4kimchi]

and Buying American or European cars kills jobs in Japan and Korea

[shejke]

love kia

[glamuroussky]

Love kia! <3

[rberding]

The fastest and beste F1 RACING CARS ARE MADE BY EUROPEANS. But as regards SUV's at a good price I would buy the KIA Sorento. Or try a Zusuki Gran Vitara.

[angelhope16]

my friend Mrs.Pacheco has a 2007 KIA Serento all black. I got to ride in it today 2.

[smukai2]

Korean vehicles costs less, it means that you get lower quality materials.

For example. the plastic that it uses is the cheapest you can get, i really don't get why they compare it with a V8 4runner,

sorento: V6 262hp@6000rpm,260ft/lb@ 4500 rpm

4runner: V6 236hp@5200rpm,266ft/lb@ 4000 rpm and V8 available

The 4runner wins clear here,(Hp is not everything, if you want to get all that force you need to rev high, Kia tried to add a car engine in this suv, complete failure.

[tjpark1111]

wow you really talk too much shit. the fact that the V6 has more horsepower than the V8 was commendable enough but you just have to mention the V8 has more torque? of course it does. i think it has 2 more cylinders for a damn reason. i dont think u should be attacking that considering the sorento costs THOUSANDS LESS. and of course, if you've seen recent achievements with fit&finish in korean cars, you'd be QUITE surprised.

[smukai2]

let me explain you. In heavy vehicles, the horsepower isn't as important as the Torque.

Sorento isn't made for muddi places cause it needs to maintain high RPM to sustain its HP, while the 4runner will go almost idling when going slow.

Example: My truck has 100HP,255ft/lb at 2,000RPM

I can pull 6 tons:13,000LB going at 2,000 RPM.

Sorento FAILS!

[tjpark1111]

what truck is that?

[smukai2]

Toyota Landcruiser 14b Engine.

[nikolastwelve]

Thats true, even thought i own a sorento, i have to agree with you, but i guess its a nice truck for city 4x4.. thats what i use it for.

[sccracing]

moron, you don'tknow sh!t rofl lmfao lol

[zimbox123]

Korean cars have indeed IMPROVED alot rescently.

I agree that models before 2005 are Krap, but now days they aren't Bad. By 2010 it will be so much better

[matty810]

shut ur fukin face uncle fucker your a cock sucking ass liking uncle fucker u dont eat or sleep or mow the lawn u just fuck your uncle all day long(i dont know why u hate kia so mutch but the 2007 sorento td is better than ur crappy jeep)

[atocombabaya]

agree 100%

[matty810]

haha lol,i forgot aboute that comment

[perfoodleschnitz]

Wow! SIX foot pounds of torque more! Because that makes so much difference...You really are a dumbass.

[smukai2]

perfoodleschnitz.

not only 6ft torque, Hyundai engines are weaker and lack quality.

[perfoodleschnitz]

That's news. Hyundai makes some of the best engines in the business. The 3.8 V6 is a seriously good engine. Hyundai makes extremely good engines. In the Santa Fe we had for a week while our Camry was getting repaired after the wreck, the 3.3 was the highlight of the vehicle, aside from the great interior. The engine was a total gem. Drive one and you'll be impressed.

[dakidakov]

WHAT??????HAve you ever driven a hyundai. Yes the old cars had kind of lame engines but now i have kia sorento which has hyundai engine i have a kia sorento and audi a8 3.2 v6. (the kia is 3.5 v6) I had a problem with the fuel pump on the audi and my sorento is 69000 km and i did not have any problems. So please do not judge about somethin' if you had not tried it.

[smukai2]

Uhm, Cars should not break.

I got 160,000 miles with a cheap Honda Civic, 69,000km is like 55,000 miles, you sohlud not have problem with your sorento, not yet. BTW, my Brother has a F-250 with 400,000 miles.

[VIKTOKO69]

KIA = MAZDA = FORD

[knobcheese69]

what? kia=hyundai=korean

[VIKTOKO69]

is true the same company

[perfoodleschnitz]

Kia is not the same as Mazda. Mazda is mainly Ford, but Kia has no connections to Ford Motor Company. Kia is owned by Hyundai and they share vehicles. The Sorento is unique to Kia, as is the Spectra, Borrego, Rondo, and...well, that's it. The other vehicles share the same chassis, but unique exteriors. Aside from the Sedona/Entourage.

[VIKTOKO69]

FORD FESTIVA and KIA PRIDE POP?

KIA BESTA and MAZDA BONGO ?

same engines same models

[perfoodleschnitz]

Wow, two models BACK IN THE EIGHTYS AND NINETYS.

[daniel216]

you can never compare Honda with kia. Honda just owns!

[jpenna1976]

You right, KIA cant be compared to Honda. KIA can do some offroad, but Honda cant. Honda is just city 4x4.

[knobcheese69]

it depends what youre looking for. if you want a characterless, ugly car that isnt really good at anything, get a honda crv. if you want obscenely good value for money, quality and offroad ability, get a sorento. simple as that

[atocombabaya]

ah ha haha faggot, no im afraid kia has won

[shanimalschool]

Great looking car but a KIA for how much?
