Suprized Power & Fun.
Pros: Power
Cons: sometime jiggly ride.
After owning 12 cars so far this is the best one I have owned. 0 Defects now after 3 years and 23K of ownership. Recommended by my brother, shopped GM, Honda and Kia. Power and ease of 4x4 operation along with features and looks, build quality cemented my purchase decision. I am now a Senior Citizen and former Automotive Fleet Manager. Bang for the Buck is the BEST.Pros: Automatic Climate Controll (driver and passenger can controll temp)
Cons: Position of volume buttons on steering wheel. they are hard to get to at times.
Advice: GET IT! Ive had it for almost 5 months and have 10k miles on it. best car ive ever owned
Someone told me to go and drive a kia. I wanted an SUV but didnt want to pay the SUV price. I drove an optima, it was ok for a car but i really wanted an SUV. So I drove the Sorento. I fell in love with it. I bought it on new years eve '07 and payed the same price for it as i would have an 07 base model liberty.Pros: 4x4, user friendly, storage, everthing about it
Cons: i cant think of anything
Advice: great suv for the price, drive and you will buy

We drove almost every new 'crossover' vehicle on the market. We went to Ford to buy the Edge but when we found it to be too expensive, they suggested we look at the KIA dealer next door (same owner). We loved it right away and ended up buying it that night.Pros: Quality for the price
Cons: 4x4 tourque on demand 4 wheel drive
Advice: Discuss the part time 4x4 transmission. 2 wheel hi
If you are looking for a smaller sized SUV in the lexus line, look no further. This Sorento has it all and more bang for the buck than all in its class. Turning, ride, looks, performance, towing,comfort, ease of operation, and general all around quality, this Sorento has what it takes. Test one out and you will buy it. Be aware of the two choices in 4x4 operation and transmissions. They differ considerably.Pros: sport shifter and power
Cons: sharp turning 4x4 hopping
Advice: try it you will like it
