I took one for a test drive last week and I was extremely disappointed by the interior quality. The plastics were hard, the buttons felt cheap, and the whole thing smacked of a rental car cost-cutting feel. I love the styling, but the car feels like crap.
My parents bought me the 2012 Kia Sorento EX V6 just a few weeks ago the day before school started. Im 17 and I LOVE this...car? i call it a car. but its great, and all of my free-loading friends love it, and fit well in it too. I havent found any problems with it. I'm still in the break in process though, so i havent been able to see its FULL potential. but im sure it will live up to my high standards... all in all, GREAT vehicle
idk why but i think kia should do more trucks and big suvs and hyundai stay to their smaller suvs and cr=ars like luxury and sporty ones cause kia and sporty dont go together
DON"T BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!! I drove mine for less than 500 Kms before it broke down. THe dealer has had the car in the garage for 7 days now (less than 2 weeks old) and can not fix the problem......They are refusing me the request for another sorento.......STAY FAR AWAY FROM KIA SORENTO!!!!!
Please watch out on buying this car. It has a MAJOR MAJOR Transmission problem. I recently bought this car and now i'm scared of what might happen to my car.
Google: "2011 Kia Sorento Investigated by Feds for Possible Transmission Failure"
it says everything about the transmission problem, and i hope the car gets recalled so that the problem may be fixed. You should be confident with the car you buy and feel safe in it. I feel neither riding in this car now :(
i am planing on changing my Izusu Rodeo for one of these but still im not sure IF KIA is worth it because never really heard any Good things from it , cany anyone help me out
@TerminaorXX we had a sorento, the older one, and while the interior was a bit crap. the power and 4wd capabilities were excellent, i heard this one is good too. i highly recommend it.
@TerminaorXX Note New KIa Sorento has motor and trans problems on the 2011 model and never will buy a new 2011 I was told by a dealer mechanic and I was there to see two job at the dealer 1was the motor and the other was the trans on the lift of the dealer I New Jersery...........And both SUV were less than 1000 Miles....
@lbryan250 a differential allows rear wheels to turn individually, and during off-roading or on slippery roads the wheels will turn all over the place reducing traction and grip. So by locking the diff, you get more grip on these conditions! Hope you learn something here! :)

I thought Hyundai was dropping Kia Motors in 2011 because it was a financial strain. Apparently, that was just hear-say. Does this mean Kia is here to stay or are they being sold or what??
@ihategeneralmotors have you noticed ANY of the new kias? most of them look like that the forte optima and so on.......kia uses there own styling like the tiger nose grill just like ford's three bar grill
@tony13498012 like where? how are those two similar in the rear/ they're not even the same height or width. go to kbb and compare both of those with the pictures and then please tell me how they "resemble" each other

The new Ford Explorer will really put a hurt'n on this Kia. It excels over this Kia in pretty much every category.

@sdlausen
Are you kidding me?
The Sorento represents a bull, fierce and buff looking.
Whereas the 2012 Explorer represents a whale, in its majestic stature, but is still a very ugly creature.
WeStandRightThere 1 year ago
@WeStandRightThere I think the new Explorer is decently attractive. You're also just looking at design, not mechanical specs.
