Run! Do Not Purchase!

Engine failure issues!!! Engine went out after only 62k miles on a well maintained vehicle. Piece of craps cars!!! Dont waste your money! They do not honor the warranties that they sell. Overall experience was poor. No help!!!

Monday morning / Friday afternoon car

Kia tops the JD Powers list for reliability, but I’m not sure how. My Sorento had a wheel bearing go out in the first 5,000 miles, I had to replace two door pulls a total of three times, the hatch sticks, the driver’s side windshield washer never worked (and the dealer couldn’t get it to work), and the list goes on… If you do get a good one, don’t keep it past 60,000 miles because the engine won’t last much longer than that.

I loved my Kia until I found out it burns buckets of oil. I got my oil changed on a Monday and by Saturday I was down a quart and a half.

I will not buy another Kia because of all of the oil it burns. Kia should order a recall because of the oil problem, but they haven't. My next car will be a Subaru. I'm a single woman and a reliable vehicle is very important.

Excessive oil loss

I want to give this car 5 stars, but the 2016 Sorento has serious oil loss. I noticed it started to happen right after I hit the 100k mile mark. I mean it ran almost bone dry. The engine light should have come on sooner. Good thing I checked. It’s a shame, this is the most comfortable and luxuriant car I’ve owned. It handles the road well and is equipped with all the features I care to have. The problem is I have to check the oil at least once every one to two weeks and carry a 5 quart container of oil with me from now on.

Love it! Except for one thing.

I love our 2016 Kia Sorento! Exceptional leg room, easy to drive and great acceleration when you need it. Very spacious back seats and cargo area, which is a must for us as we have elderly parents that need it easy getting in and out. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is, there are no automatic day time running lights. I have no idea why as every other company does this. It wasn't a deal breaker as there are ways around it and every other feature was perfect.

2016 kia sorento

The Kia Sorento has been an awesome purchase! I have loved the features although it's only the base model. I love the way it handles & the all wheel drive. Only downfall is the kids getting in the third row can be messy due to the second row not being captain seats.

2016 Kia Sorento EX

I LOVE my Sorento. It rides great, smooth, gets the best gas mileage I have ever had with a Sorento. I am short stature and the driver's seat adjusts for me perfectly. It handles extremely well on corners, curves, and especially on crappy winter roads. I do just love this vehicle. Only thing I would say could change is the front end plastic fiber glass does not keep paint on it well with bugs, and rocks, but the rest of the vehicle is amazing. I would not drive another vehicle if I had to choose. The engine has great power, and honestly my gas mileage has always been more than factory sticker. Follow the maintenance schedule and it runs like it should.

Kia Sorento

The vehicle’s performance and comfort have been what was expected. The turbo boost on the road and six gears makes the vehicle easy to drive in different climate conditions. It is spacious and roomy for 5 passengers.55

Lots of wind noise. Not quiet. Door seals on rear passengers doors not sealing after a replacement even.

Interior is noisy. Door seals after replacement still lets moisture and dirt in.

2016 Sorento SXL Turbo 4

Overall, an all around outstanding vehicle. This is my second Sorento.Front seat comfort could be imprived ... bolstesr too close together and too prominent. The side pillar between front and back too think obstructing driver's view to the right. Kia dealers are notorious for upselling service. Quite a nuisance.

Decent vehicle, but I have had better ones in the past.

The dealership service was not up to par. The Kia was never taken to be serviced at the appointed time; usually it was an hour or longer. That is not acceptable. They can kiss me goodby as a repeat buyer if I do buy another Kia as it won't be with Findley.

great product

We are on our 3rd KIA sorento. We love the size, handling capabilities. It has good mileage and looks sporty. On top of that it is totally assembled in the united States. We like to support American workers!
