When I was looking for a new SUV the KIA Sorento ended up on top of my list. I not only liked the look of it-it is offered in a variety of colors and packages as well as above average gas mileage- but I can see clearly out of all of the windows when passing and pulling into traffic which was key for me. The 3rd row seating actually has room to put two people back there comfortably. I live on a bumpy dirt road and drive this vehicle a lot. My Kia even after over 60,000 miles has not had to have even one repair or alignment. Sturdy! The stereo system and other electronics were not so important to me but I found the sound system to be excellent- sounds great. The back up window is a good size to be able to clearly tell if you are okay to back up. I LOVE this car and will have it for many years to come but when the time comes my next one will be a KIA Sorento also.

This vehicle is very reliable, and I have never had any mechanical issues with it besides the air conditioning going out, which I was able to get repaired cheaply by my warranty. The trunk is very spacious. The back seat also lies down to make more room for storage if I needed it. There are heated seats and Bluetooth control, which I absolutely love because I can use my cell phone without having to actually touch my phone, and there are LED lights on the doors near the handles that make it easier to see where to grab to open the door at night. There are also window blinds on the windows in the back seat so when the sun is shining brightly my son doesn't have to endure the strong rays aggravating his eyes or having too much heat. Also, the vehicle is great on fuel. Doesn't take much to fill up! There are only two things I dislike about this vehicle. Sometimes the alerts from the car come on without there actually being something wrong with it. By that I mean the hydroplane symbol may show on the dashboard and it would be dry on the roads and the car would slow down itself to keep from causing an accident if I were to actually be hydroplaning. Also, it seems like the headlights burn quicker from the factory installed headlights. Since the headlight has gone out from when I first purchased the Kia Sorento, it seems like I have to replace the headlight every three months.
