This is my second Kia Sorento. Between the two Sorentos, I had a Sportage. I only kept the Sportage for a year because I missed the larger size of the Sorento. The name of my Sorento is "Bruiser." I gave him that name because he is a purple/burgundy color like a bruise. This is my first car with a back-up camera and alert, and I don't know how we lived without this! I wish it had a nav, but at the same time, I have a portable nav so that works fine. I am very tall, and I find that the Sorento has plenty of leg and head room for me both in the front seats and the back seats. The cargo room in the back is larger than most other SUVs including my dad's Lexus 350. My Sorento is a four cylinder and surprisingly can be quite peppy despite that fact. The interior of this car is very neat and solid. There are no loose or misaligned parts. I love the wood-look dash. It gives Bruiser an air of a fancier car. The dash on my car looks just as nice as the dash on my mom's Jaguar. I enjoy the satellite radio that came as a trial when I bought the car and have signed up for a subscription.

The Kia Sorento is a no nonsense, efficient, and roomy SUV that has fulfilled all of our familyÕs needs both for local commuting and long range family trips. The Sorento is comfortable, roomy, easy to drive, and has proven to be very reliable and low maintenance. We love that the five of us can travel with enough room to stretch out, and we have plenty of room for luggage in the trunk. The sound system delivers an immersive audio experience and the Sorento handles like a much smaller car. There have been a few minor hardware niggles that required servicing but overall the important components have hung tough and weÕve enjoyed every long trip weÕve ever had to make in it. The Sorento has truly earned its stripes as our primary family traveler.
