It's a really nice car!

PROS
Power

The Sorento's V6 is pretty powerful especially compared to my previous car. It's nice to have a car that has power to spare to accelerate when I need to without too much fuss

Ride and Handling

The Sorento feels planted, steady, and secure

Interior Space

It's a normal size vehicle with room to spare. I don't feel like I'm in too small a cabin like I did with the previous car. The best part of it, with the back seat set-up for carrying dogs, my three little dogs fit with lots of room left over. This will come in handy when we do our cross country drive in a few weeks...the dogs won't feel like their crowded together for the multi-hour stretches we will be driving

CONS
Fuel Economy

I was driving a Nissan Versa Note before the Sorento so I went from a good mileage vehicle to a bad mileage vehicle. A full tank might've cost about $30+ before. With the Sorento it's more than double that

Technology and Entertainment

The AV system was okay for 2016. I've bought an aftermarket Car Play display so I can have that feature but I'm going to research installing a better AV system from a later model so I can have Car Play as a built-in feature

Kia Sorento SX AWD Needed Some Repairs

PROS
Power

3 Different modes offer different power output based on the kind of driving you are encountering. Sport mode is very fast and ECO mode is choppy but saves a little on gas.

Cargo Space

Cargo space is very good. Lots of room to fit a lot of stuff. Passengers also have a good amount of space to move around and relax in their seat.

Styling

Car looks classy and beautiful. The trim on the outside looks very upscale.

CONS
Seat Comfort

Not the best cushion for long car rides if you weight over 200lbs. The sport leather is shiny and easy to wipe but lacks cushion.

Ride and Handling

The car experiences some sway and does not feel completely solid while turning and stopping.

Fuel Economy

Car uses a lot of gas on both highway and city driving.
