2004 Kia Sorento LX review from North America
"Awesome well built, well priced SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong to date, Vehicle is flawless.
General comments?
After many reviews I decided on this vehicle due to its affordability, good looks and safety features.
It handles well is somewhat stiff due to the solid frame, but expected in a truck based platform. The interior is great and well thought out. Overall I am pleased with myself on this purchase.
I am unsure of the support the dealer will provide given I will be at their door every 8000 kilometers for the free oil and filter change. I am hoping for the best in this area.
I suspect that my only concern would be petrol consumption. Given that I was seated in a Hyundai Elantra that had very good gas mileage this may be a bit of a shock.
