2005 Kia Sorento LXReview
Excellent Used Kia Sorento - Great Buy! — I bought this car brand new and have been the only owner of the vehicle. Since I have owned this car it has always proven to be very reliable and I have found the scheduled maintenance on the vehicle to always be very affordable. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: The engine and transmission are in excellent working condition. Cons: The fuel mileage is low which is typical of an SUV. |

2005 Kia Sorento LXReview
Not Worth Getting Into — Before the year was up, I had to have the engine replaced. The dealership set the timing incorrectly when they replaced the engine. It took over 5 years to get the timing set correctly, and it ended up coming out of my own pocket. It cost over $1300 just to have the spark plugs replaced. The dealership shop manager tried lying about my warranty, to the point I had to get third party intervention. The electric system had to be completely replaced in the car. There were more sensor problems than I would care to talk about. The first 5 years there was a check engine light on, almost all the time. The dealership would just clear the code and send me home, and it would just come back on. I would not recommend this car to anyone. Pros: The looks of the car are really what got me to buy it. Cons: Very expensive to work on, nothing lasted on the car. Dealer plays games with warranty. Nothing is easy to maintain on the car. |

2005 Kia Sorento LX 4WDReview
No Issues — One of the best suv's! Don't get me wrong, the car still runs almost like new and still feels solid on the road. Love the body style and interiors. Off road it can take on some of the best 4X4's out there and it is definitely fun to drive. Gas mileage is average but not bad. Personally, I love my SORENTO! Pros: Best family car ever Cons: We like it a lot! |

2005 Kia Sorento EXReview
Great Value! — I bought this 2005 Sorento a year ago (2012) for $ 8,900 including TTL and so far, I may as well have bought a brand new vehicle as I have had no repair or maintenance costs. It's our family's second car so I occasionally pile my 3 kids in it but it's mostly for back and forth to work. It's a really nice looking vehicle inside and out for the price and drives very well with the exception of a little road noise at higher speeds. I would highly recommend this to anybody based on what you get for the money. For reference, I previously owned a Toyota 4runner and Tundra which were both great vehicles as well. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Great leather interior with wood trim; Adequate power,; Size makes it so easy to get in and out of any parking lot/space, Cons: A little noisy at highway speed |

2005 Kia Sorento LXReview
I Wouldn't Buy Another One. — This vehicle has more of a truck ride to it. We've had lots of problems mechanically. Cheaply made parts with a huge price tag. Not many mechanics will work on them. Parts are hard to find unless you go to dealer and that cost big time $$$$. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Has gotten me where I need to go but with a cost! Cons: Has needed way to much work done to it and has expensive parts |

2005 Kia Sorento LX 4WDReview
One Of The Best Suv's.... — Like I mentioned before, I purchased my Kia about 4 yrs. ago and don't have any major complaints. The only thing I can say that is a PITA is the engine layout. I usually do my own tune-ups, timing belt, ect on must of the cars I've own but this one is very complicated and it takes a lot of work and money to do it by a licensed mechanic. Don't get me wrong, the car still runs almost like new and still feels solid on the road. Love the body style and interiors. Off road it can take on some of the best 4X4's out there and it is definitely fun to drive. Gas mileage is average but not bad. Personally, I love my SORENTO, is all a matter of maintenance and TLC... besides 2005 has no recalls. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Stay tune for more updates..... Cons: Stay thirsty my friends!!! |

2005 Kia Sorento EX 4WDReview
Excellent Suv In Terms Of Money/value! — Reliable enough, despite of Korean origin. I'm using it 1.5 year and had no any trouble with the car. Slightly slow at accelaration, but ok for everyday city driving. Great for off-road. Exterior & interior is not of the cutting edge, but are solid enough. Pros: True 4WD, body-on-frame, low transfer case Cons: Not a highway flyer |

2005 Kia Sorento LXReview
Drive One, 05 And Newer, You Won't Be Disappointed — 110k miles and no problems. Pulled a tandem axle trailer from OK to TN with 2 motorcycles on it, still got nearly 270 miles to a tank. I can't say enough good about this vehicle. Hauls the family of 5 with ease. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Duh, the review says it all. Cons: ummm, nada |
