2011 Kia Rio
Plainest little car you'll ever love
Pros: Reliability
Cons: Appearance
This is my second 'base model' Kia Rio, I love it! Never have to drop a gear going up big hills. I like the simplicity, feeling the road, and reliability. My last Kia didn't owe me a dime when I finally traded it at 130k. Great warranty, nice car as long as your ego isn't hooked to the cool factor of your ride.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes

2010 Kia Forte
Think twice before buying
Pros: Its a tie between the slipping transmission and the customer friendly service department
Cons: Everything
I've got less than 10K miles on this piece of Korean krap, and the transmission slips, it's full of rattles and squeaks, and the service department at my local dealership can't duplicate any of the problems, so therefor they can't fix any of the problems.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? No

Pros: The gas usage and the mp3 input.

2011 Kia Sorento
Bob is impressed
Pros: Design and warrenty
Cons: nothing at this point
I traded in a2003 Toyota highlander with 112000 miles, great car, but parts where super high, so I went for the Sorento with the four cylinder engine, Good choice, quality is great and it does everything that the highlander did but some what cheaper. I live in Arizona and all my driving is long distance and on the interstate, mostly with the cruise at 80 mph. The four is more then adequate. I am a convert, sorry Toyota- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes
