2004 Kia Sorento review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My main problem is the headlights - in less than two years, I've replaced the right low beam 3 times and the left twice. At the auto parts store today, the guys suggested I use a special grease on the probes. Hope that helps!
Gas mileage is terrible for a mid-sized SUV, but I've never owned a V6 before, so maybe it seems awful, but it average.
General comments?
In general I love this vehicle - it's a great ride, powerful car - I've carried 2500 lbs of concrete, pulled a boat, and it was very easy for the car.
