    This Vehicle Is A Catch Your Eye Kind Of Sorento - Looks Alone Sold Me On It. — I have never had an issue with acceleration or braking. The handling is superb in every way. The sunroof makes it fun to drive on a spring or summer or fall day. I have never had any maintenance issues whatsoever with this vehicle. It is a great all around car - especially for families or someone who needs to carry items for a family member as well like a wheelchair or electric cart.

    Primary Use: Family transportation

    Pros: This car/SUV has such curb appeal - the wheels are gorgeous and the color unique.  I love the comforts this vehicle has to offer with all of the extra options on it.

    Cons: The only thing missing would be an auto opener for the hatch - no other issues I can complain about.

    Versatile And Economical. — I love my Sorento. It's perfect for a family day with 4 kids under 10. When everyone's not in the Sorento, the seats fold up and there's ample cargo space. The GDI 4 cylinder has a lot of pep and the crossover handles very well.

    Primary Use: Family transportation

    Pros: 24 mpg in a SUV that seats 7!

    Cons: With 7 people inside, the cargo space is extremely limited.

    Pretty Decent — I like this car and enjoy driving it. It handles well and is great on gas mileage during road trips. The only thing bad about this car is that when we use the third row cargo space is very limited. We were able to get around this by using a cargo box on the roof of the car.

    Primary Use: Family transportation

    Pros: Nice ride! Kia has come a long way!

    Cons: When using the third row, cargo space is limited.

    Test drove this one, and while the value was better, I felt if was a bit too small compared to the Ford Edge. We ended up going with the Edge only because of a better sale going on at the time.
