2003 Kia Sorento LX review from North America
"Excellent car, the best I ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love this vehicle, I always buy new cars, all brands and styles, to include Corvettes and Mercedes.
This is one of the best cars I ever had. How ever nothing is ever perfect and I am not a neat peacker any ways. the car has 78K miles, no problems mechanical or electrical, I do all my own maintenance, except for I had the dealer replace the timing belt not long ago just for preventive maintenance.
The fuel gage has started to act up, but it will be fixed. (the car likes to eat gas, but what can I do?)
once I had the driver side seat belt replaced at no cost, also a power steering sensor was replaced at no cost, the dealer always gives me a loaner if it takes longer then a day to fix.
My $175k Mercedes gives me more problems, so I think KIA is all right, I might buy me another one when this goes to the junk yard.
