2003 Kia Sorento SX review from UK and Ireland
"A terrific vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two manufacturer recalls regarding the oil sump.
Breather pipe gasket replaced under warranty.
General comments?
We tested all the 4x4's on the market up to £35,000, and the KIA had the combination of strengths in a 4x4 we were looking for. Permanent four wheel drive, modern diesel engine, luxury interior, well built and good looking. The price was icing on the cake.
