2007 Kia Sorento XT review from UK and Ireland
"The thinking man's 4x4!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
This is my first Kia & my first diesel... well impressed with it so far. Pound for pound, the best 4x4 I have ever owned. I traded in a Range Rover 4.6HSE for the Kai and I would not entertain another RR.
I have driven a ML270 Merc back to back with the Kia and it was hard to believe that there was 20k difference in the price tag!!!
I opted for the XT rather than the popular XS and I personally feel that the XT was worth the extra few grand.
Don't let the Kia badges put you off, I have owned BMW's, Merc's, Volvo's, a Shogun, a Cherokee & the above mentioned Range Rover and I wouldn't swap the Sorento for any of them.
