Replying to: jskay (May 30, 2009 9:00 pm) Borrego is not qualified for a LUXURY vehicle. the basic entry level LUXURY vehicle would include these features (at least); leather, sunroof, TPMS, and v..v.. Kia and the people who beleive that Borrego is a luxury vehicle MUST be out of their mind. It's just my own opinion.

Replying to: haikhanhjr (Jun 06, 2009 5:52 am) Uhh, many Mercedes & BMWs don't come w/ leather, sunroof, etc. standard. You have to pay extra, and by that, a hefty sum for the "goodies." Replies to this message: green11 (Aug 03, 2009 6:29 am)
#13 of 15 Borrego Variable Valve Timing by batman47 Jul 09, 2009 (2:28 am)
Could someone explain why the USA Borrego engine doesn’t have VVT (variable valve timing)but the Canadian Borrego engine are sold with VVT (i.e. CVVT)?

Replying to: jyym (Jun 18, 2009 2:36 pm) Kia has come a long way and the Borrego is getting praise. I already miss my truck SUV that I just sold, even though I no longer need one I am keeping an eye on this one. If prices tank on used models in a few years I may bite. For the current owners I hope they don't depreciate to rapidly, but if they do....

We got ours in March, no problems with it at all. Gas mileage (we have the LX V6) has been much better since we did some long road trips. The dealer was very motivated to get the vehicle out the door, so we got a great deal - around $7500 off the sticker price with no trade-in - he even let us take out for a weekend before we bought it to really get a feel for it. Lots of nice features, lots of room inside, good perfomance and fun to drive.
