Short Takes: 2005 Kia Sorento LX (Start Up, Engine, Full Tour)

[Daracon1010]

I own this car, and it has served me well. It performed well in crash tests, fuel economy could be better, but overall it's a great car. People who are saying that it's "unsafe" are dumbarses. It's only unsafe if you want to be a wreckless moron on the road. In a crash it would do quite well in protecting the passengers. Besides - "everything" is unsafe ultimately. The ground is unsafe because you can slip and fall at any moment and crack your head open.

You only haven't got a infiniti fx 45 on your channel... Rest of my cars are :D

Ehh... Can you also do a Kia Sportage as well?

Like the design! Sweet car

[talldude123]

ATTENTION ALL: The song played in the beginning of this video is: Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe. To watch it, just place this at the end of the Youtube dot com.

[talldude123]

Oh, and @Jakeman2164, I was wrong, this vehicle actually has a 5-speed auto too like the Sedona. Kyle was actually wrong too. I looked it up on fueleconomy.gov

[talldude123]

It's been asked before, but what song is being played for the first few minutes of the video?

[talldude123]

@Jakeman2164 They're kind of like the Explorer's from the late 90's. Not great but they get the job done. The engine is the exact same as the Sedona's, except Sorento used a 4-speed auto while the Sedona got the 5-speed.

[Wheelman286]

Delco?? I thought Delco was a Gm thing kinda like polyphony digital to sony.

[talldude123]

@Wheelman286 No, Delco is their own brand, it's a car audio multimedia brand. Don't forget GM also uses Bose.

[Goldenrod636]

This is one of the Kias I like the most.

[bitonw]

many thanks kyle for showing this sorento.

i have just bought a 2005 diesel sorento xs auto my self.

thank care

[igeekone]

What a transformation for KIA.

[uakronsam116]

that's not rear wiper control on the center stack by the way, that is the windshield wiper de-icer

[vaguedustin]

@Jakeman2164 :O

[scaremengaviation]

Looks like the old, first-gen, ML320.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@scaremengaviation or the lexus suv of that era. the koreans copied everythign BUT the durability lol. my mom GOD rest her soul had one. sister wrecked it. rear main seal went out twice. window seals 3x. drivers window once. and transmission once.

[scaremengaviation]

@yamahonkawazuki True. At least KIA is (supposedly) better now. Last time I checked, one year ago they were still bad. Ever seen a Hyundai Accord... er Sonata?

[yamahonkawazuki]

@scaremengaviation still not great. check the soul lol. hyundai has gotten better. i had them when they were as bad as kia is. yes htey are getting better but have a long way to go. hyundai still has inssues in many of their cars. BUT have made it over 20 years in this country. so that says something.

[scaremengaviation]

@yamahonkawazuki Yeah, there's no denying that. I still remember the first time I saw a Hyundai Santa Fe. Disgusting! Hyundai, nowadays, has the visuals down... reliability we'll still have to see.

[Finalomen]

I get on youtube and Kyle has 7 new videos! HOLY FUCK

[SuperSportSS]

@Finalomen yeah and theyre all junk cars in my opinion.

[krakmxer]

@SuperSportSS At least he's uploading videos EVERYDAY, learn to appreciate dude. You must be new sub i guess.

[SuperSportSS]

@krakmxer Been a sub since 2009. I admit I was in a bad mood last night. Shouldnt have said what I said.

[datboiwes333]

the new ones are way better than this. These older ones look kind of shitty and I hear that they are slow like hell. 

[yamahonkawazuki]

@datboiwes333 heard wrong. not slow at all. when htey run that is lol. HAD one. loaded up. the koreans copied everythign on this except durability/dependability. yet somehow got the fuel mileage of a built v8 in the mix lol. but still fun to drive. and not slow

[07hottie0]

I really dont like your "short takes" I think you should stick to the full in depth tours

[FrenchValleyAirport]

gas mileage is horrible a suv

[d0ugz24]

my my how the sorento has changed.....

[2OOOHondaCivicSi]

Can you do any of the Hondas there?

[yellowcow13]

nice sound on start up. Whats the snow mode do and is this one awd or 4wd or 2x4

[Carnut91]

please do that suzuki forenza 0:18

[vaguedustin]

I would do anything for you to do a video on a Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser/ Buick Roadmaster Wagon/ Chevy Caprice Wagon.

[gravitygun123]

kyle!

try to find the newest kia picanto its very nice!!

[cheeseburger9418]

Hey awsome tnx kyle! How bout some of the new kias? i thought u had a few vids up from folger kia or something?

[uakronsam116]

it's a 5 speed auto i believe

[JillsTheme]

All Sorento models newer than 2010 are made in the Georgia factory meaning they are made in USA. I'd would totally support buying one of those!

[gentle285]

The overall interior looks is... well... weird somehow. anyway, great video as always

[giannial1985]

Forgot to mention. As you can see, Kia's from the mid 2000's on up, hold up very well. This one is in great shape for it's age and miles.

[giannial1985]

I like the Sorento's. The new ones out now are even nicer.

[stwartfan123]

Kyle, there are two Civics there, a supercharged Range Rover, and two Jettas, all of which would be great additions to your channel! Pref the Civic Coupe, and the Jetta Wolfsburg!

[saabkyle04]

@stwartfan123 I will have a short take probably on the rover because I DO HAVE a full tour and test drive of a 2008 RR Sport Supercharged, just search it on the channel, it's a great video and might have an exhaust clip in it :)

[stwartfan123]

@saabkyle04 oh ok, I must have missed that one. haha, but the other two are ones that you should do. :D

[saabkyle04]

@stwartfan123 I will try, I'm still here and almost done with what I have to do then I'll do a couple to save for a little later, this week is going to be crazy busy for videos haha. too many things to film :)

[Annihilator1111]

the 2002–2009 2007–2009 (Russia assemby by Izh Auto) Kia Sorento was assembled in

Hwasung, South Korea

Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia

[nflfan421]

[Metman2J]

@nflfan421 Wanna buy one? My wife and I are looking to replace hers, just based on MPG.

[maggio211]

Can't wait for the 1200th video!

[EduWestCoastRap]

¡¿¡¿WHAT'S THE SONG AT 1:13?!?!

[TerryCPiano]

Do you mind doing a review of the 2009+ Acura TL? :)

[stwartfan123]

@TerryCPiano if you check out intechdude300's channel, he just did a video on a 2010 TL

[TerryCPiano]

@stwartfan123 Awesome thank man :)

[jink08]

ha people talk talk even thought they dont have one of these. Mines have 130K miles on it and its running strong.

[LoveTheCity123]

Very unsafe vehicle.

[TJC450]

I see quite a bit of GM in this car.

[JillsTheme]

@TJC450 including their logo which reminds me quite a bit of Ford. They should change their logo IMO.

[jsschipp4]
