I bought a 2002 CRV when they came out.When the warranty
was up the steering wheel and drivers seat were trashed.
I traded it for a Highlander hopeing for longterm durability. So far so good.As to Sorentos I now have an 03
Sorento EX 4wd which had 38000 on it and it was and is like brand new.It is much higher quality than any American
car I have owned.It absorbs bumps better than the Toyota
and it's quick/light steering make it a breeze to park.
I have two very good SUVs now but gas prices make me wish
I had an economy car.I like sitting up high and all the bells and whistles that comes with the Luxury Package but
poor gas mileage is the price you pay.The Toyota with 3.3
ltr averages 20 and the Sorento with 3.5 ltr averages 15.

My 2003 Sorento EX (4WD with Luxury Package) has 44500 miles now. I bought a Camry the same year, wife's car. Can't compare two cars, but Kia has more goodies for less. Such as auto dimming rearview, heated mirrors, Home Link, sunroof (EX), full spare, foglights (EX or Sport), auto headlights (part if luxury package), etc. It's so far so good. There were some repairs but they were covered under warranty. I am consider the '07 model.

What do you think now? With cash back of $4,500.00 until May 31,06 on all 2005's could you get the EX 4X4 with ABS etc. for under $19,000 not including trade. With gas milage not great, one guy said they were selling at auction for $17,000 on a good day.

I think the number is $5000 cash back for any 2005 models and $500 for current Kia owner plus dealer's discount.

The '06 Sorento can be had pretty cheap right now, especially if you don't get one without options. Here's a dealer advertising one for under $15K: http://tinyurl.com/khark
 
I'm curious about the '07 however. New engine, interior/exterior styling changes, more safety, etc. However, I see it won't be available with a manual transmission - bummer. My guess is that we won't find prices near as good for the '07's.

Like to know what a 2006 Sorento EX Loaded is selling for at this time. Since gas at $3.00 per gal, and the Sorento POOR gas milage. What 17 to 21. I would consider buying at around $18,000. What does everyone else think?? Also, the 2007 when are they out? I heard they get better milage, and have a more powerful engine. Has anyone hear this??

I was thumbing through this sight and stumbled upon these entries. I have a 1999 plymouth voyager 142k on it that I'm trading in next year. I am interested in the kia sorrento, can you share your experience with your car? Is it giving you good bang for your buck? I'm so disgusted with chrysler and their poorly made cars. I'm looking to switch to the SUV and I'm pretty excited about this model.
