I've just had a 2012 Sorento for 2 weeks. Everything is within my expectation
except for one thing: every time I come to a complete stop, there is excessive vibration (apparently from the transmission). It makes me feel like I'm driving a 30 year old diesel car! Has anybody else experienced the same thing? I am going to go to the Kia dealer to get it checked.
@tomreeny Hi, We got a used 2011 Sorento EX 4 cyl with 14,000 miles on it and have the same noise from the transmission,dealer said trans is defected and its bean replaced,now it just doing fine,have one of the tech sit next to you wile YOU drive your car,I have my car drop off the dealer for more then a week on the first time and did not find any problem after drive it more then 150 miles,it take me 3 minute and drive two block to show them the problem.
@friend5001 No one in North America really care that our cars are bigger. Most people would rather have a larger, comfortable SUV instead of a tiny European can opener.
I can't stand consumer reports...they are ridiculous sometimes...rear wiper buttons!! Give me a break...go test drive the car yourself and decide what you want...the only thing I would use consumer reports for is reliability ratings...that's it...I don't need someone to tell me what I like in a car...I'd rather test it and decide myself..I dunno about you guys....
did u see that the non infinity sound system sucks my girlfriend has the ex i dont know if its v6 or not...but she doesnt have the 10 speaker set up and its not loud at all and the speakers sound muddy and welll kinda shitty...did u guys notice that?
The rear wiper buttons are very obviously located, how could you miss them? Please don't jab at unnecessary things just to fill up a review with content.
Consumer Reports always gripe about unnecessary things, thats why i only take their reviews for face value. Steve Hammes and Myride.com does a much better job of reviewing on things that actually matter to buyers.
@MOONiE2k6 This wiper button location perplexes me, I have a Korean Built 2011 Sorento here in Australia and the Rear Wiper control is part of the normal Wiper stork?? Why was it built differently in the US built version?
Really like that new Sorento. It'll be on my short list in the next couple of years. Kia and parent company Hyundai are the most improved auto makers in the last few years. They're really putting out great stuff lately with standard features usually found only in higher trim levels from others.
2:05 He says the "lower profile tires on 18inch wheels [deminish ride quality]."
Really? Since when did 70 series tires become considered "low profile" ? I think this reviewer is just nit-picky.

1:37 looks like he's stunned by fuel economy and horsepower. Like it's all new to him.
