#1448 of 4012 odometer by jmpats2000 Dec 18, 2002 (10:05 am)
Schip1, Thanks for the information on the odometer (1438) I'll try that later when I get home..   I think that is a cool feature to have.

Do you have more info on that? Website? I properly will find out the retailer as well. I and my brother's Honda both have alarm and car starter. They made by from Avital and Python But they don't have a pager type remote control to alert you the car is being tampered. I think I want to know if yours can also control the leftgate. Thanks.
#1450 of 4012 How long ... by dried Dec 18, 2002 (11:36 am)
do most of you keep your cars? If you own a Sorento, are you in the car for the long run or do you prefer changing cars every few years? I'm curious because I am the type to own the car forever and while admittedly the Sorento reliability will not be known for some time, this SUV looks really good. Kia has made great stides in quality, both the way the deaign and build cars. Owned a Trooper for 8 years (coulda gone 15 easy, but was wrecked) and while it was a great truck, it was the most expensive car I ever owned, even though I did the work myself.
#1451 of 4012 Question by acr1 Dec 18, 2002 (4:06 pm)
I am in the market of buying a Kia Sorento and I am not sure on my decision yet. I want to be sure about this purchase before I put forth the money. I was just wondering whats everyones thoughts about their Sorento-good and bad. Is the car performance good. thanks.

I posted awhile back that my Fiance bought a an EX, Lux Package, ABS, Spoiler for 24,800. This was at Holler KIA in Longwood. We worked with Paul, the Sales Manager. We live north of Tampa so paul and I had many telephone conversations before we actually went to Longwood to ink the deal. Very nice to work with, tell him Ed & Betty recommended him. Their Docs charge is high, $498. If you can get them to credit you more on a trade in or cut the price against that I think they are worth talking to. Good Luck. She still has some slight Vib. at certain speeds but I'm certain that is easily corrected by a tire spin balance. She has not yet been to the local dealer for any other post purchase issues. SO far so good. About 1700 miles.

As a quick addition to my post above.......... Johnson KIA in Crystal River. Very good people....but could'nt deliver her color before Holler Kia. Suze or Dan (the Owner) are you contacts. Again you can ref. Betty & Ed. They will remember us even though we did not buy from them.
#1454 of 4012 TOD in snow by paisan Dec 19, 2002 (5:31 am)
Guys, having owned TOD on my trooper and done some significant driving in the snow with both TOD and Subarus AWD system which works similar to the TOD system. If you feel the back coming out on a turn, you need to GAS it. Your initial instinct is to take your foot off the gas. With the TOD you'll want to apply a little more gas when you start to slip, this will move more power to the front wheels and pull you right out of it.   My suggestion is that the next time it snows find a deserted parking lot and practice using it. It will help you out a lot.   -mike

pasian - We haven't got any big snow strong in eastern MA. There were few snowfall. But there isn't any accumulation because of a recent warm temperature and rain. I have to drive mine on the snow to see how is the T.O.D. work. Should I set the 4x4 switch to Low and just Auto? Also, can someone explain to me the automatic load leveling on my Sorento? Is it some kind of suspension at the rear? hicaffa & schip1 - I just found out more about Homelink, home lighting control. I have to buy a vehicle interface, home control and plug-in lamp module at Sears and Radio Shack. They properly cost about $60 for everything.
#1457 of 4012 A Couple of Rattles by nrooks Dec 19, 2002 (8:02 am)
I have developed rattles/vibrations in the dash and where the seatbelt attaches to the a pillar. Does anyone else have these and have you tried to get them fixed yet?
