I have this model. |
|
| I sent them an email for nearest dealer and cost. But I have got nothing. | |

I just found the amplifier (with premium in-dash 6CD changer) mounted on the floor underneath the driver's seat. I also found the under seat tray underneath the passenger's seat. I though it was on the driver's side. And it looks the WeatherTech finally has the custom fit rubber mats for Sorento. They come with grey, tan and black. See www.mats.com |

lok888 - I went to the dealer (Criswell Kia) today, asked the service manager about the seatbelt light, He thinks probably a misprint of the manual, He tried to contact engineering today but it is closed for the holidays. Told me to come back Thursday or Friday after Christmas, so we can call engineering together and ask them directly. Also told me Kia is going on line after the 1st of the year and that We'll be able to talk to them on the internet directly.... I asked him about the levelers, and told me again the shocks that are self leveling, and work themselves to a predetermined level.. I am thinking on installing a tornado air device (www.tornadoair.com)... does anybody have any experience with them ??? supposedly it improves fuel burn / power... |

Lok9888 ... that Tornado thing is a piece of crap it does not work many of the people at the Ranger forum ( I have a Ranger as well )have tried that and returned it because it did not work or it screwed up the Emission control sensors. That Cobra-sor site... I went up there to see the accessories. Some nice items I would be interested in the step bars or step rail. It looks like that they are a German Company and I wonder if you can order from them. |

Tanks for the link Steve, that clears my doubts.. Hciaffa, I believe nowadays international shopping is no big deal but I do not know, maybe they have a local distributor for those neat accesories.. |
|
| hicaffa - I just looked at the Sorento accessories brochure. Kia has the side steps for the Sorento. But I am still looking for the running boards. And I think mdsorento posted the discussion about tornado and not me. Anyway, I don't believe these aftermarket stuffs (tornado, K&N Filter, Z-Max, etc.) anymore. They look good on the TV commericals. But it's just waste of money. | |

I checked in with Weather Tech and those mats are not really a custom fit. You have to trim or cut to fit either the heavy rubber or carpeted mats and the rear mats are a universal style and the dimensions given by them is much smaller than the ones we have in our Sorento(they are quite large as they go under the front seat by some inches). They going to come out shortly with a true fit mat. We will have to keep checking. You could do what I probably plan to do. The cost of those mats are more than buying a new set of real mats at the dealer($80) and you don't pay shipping and just swap for the seasons. lok888....sorry I got my postings mixed on the tornado item. The K&N filter does work but the horse power gain is not that drastic. It does allow the engine to breath better but the problems many have is when they go to clean a the filter and re-apply the oil they put to much and it really messes up the MAS sensor creating problems with the engine. |

I am interested in the side steps as well. Better footing entering and exiting the Sorento. Asmy wife has arthritis of the kness so it be better for her. If you get any infoon these pleas post it. I will.do the same. also for got to mention that its been over a week and I have not received any response from KIa on a question. About if the leather seats are all leather or just the inserts on the top and back. My dealer really could not answer the question. Anyone have any idea. |
