I purchased the 2011 Sorentto after looking for a more affordable option in the crossover class. The other makes were 20 to 30% higher and came with a wide array of options. I looked at the mid range option package with the Sorentto. The drive is more like a car with the visibility of a crossover. The traction controls and real back up cam were a positive. I have provided the factory recommended service and had no trouble in the past 4 years. I out on about 40K miles per year and have only need to change the tires and service per the recommendation. The real seat folds down for able hauling.

I love that it includes 3rd row seating in case I need it. For extra trunk space I can even fold down the back seats. The air-conditioning works wonderful and provides air vents for my backseat passengers as well. The navigation and Sirius Satellite Radio are great additions that I now can't live without. For a 4 cylinder suv it has great get up and go while still having great gas mileage.
