This car is perfect!! We were after a mid sized car that was smaller than our large 4x4, but bigger than a standard SUV. With 4 kids and a camper trailer to tow, this car is the perfect family car. Great size to park in the smallest spaces, rear view camera makes life easier, comfy travelling over long distances. The heated seats are fantastic on cold days!! It is so lovely to drive, I find I drive slower to enjoy it more! Cheap to run, looks great, very quiet and extremely reliable!! Heaps of comfort and style without the hefty price tag.... Will be buying another some day! So glad I read other people's reviews about other makes... I am one happy customer! Well worth a test drive to see for yourself!

I bought this as i wanted something safe to drive my son in, along with a reliable compact 4wd. I've owned the Sorento for almost 1yr and its been fantastic. Very economical for a 4wd and the 2.2 litre engine has lots of go. Quiet & comfy. Great visibility too.

Handles like an SUV. Great mileage - 6.5l/100 on country with a full load. Has every extra. Saved thousands on similar alternatives that were available. 5 yr warranty is now 7 yr warranty. Can't pass this offer up. Only issue is finding Kia servicing. All the KIA service centres round Sydney CBD/Eastern suburbs no longer do servicing - only sales. Strange.

My wife has the Platinum Diesel pearl white. We fight over who drives. Brilliant fuel economy (under 7 l/100km on highway with ac), comfortable, safe. Plenty of power. Fits 3 kiddy seats across the back. Love it and will buy another when the time comes. Oh yeah, 7 years unlimited kilometre warranty plus fixed price servicing. This is cheap motoring that isn't "cheap". Thank you very much Blackburn Kia who are great.

Bought a demo Platinum XM few months back and simply loving it. It's got its platinum feel and the red built in lights catch anyone's eyes at night. Packed with all features you'd look for in a car: GPS, 10 speakers audio, panaromic sunroof, heated/vantilated seats and list goes on...fuel economy and power is very good for this 7 seater. The only couple of downside I find is, very firm seats and sometimes bumpy rides, but overall good value for money! And with 7 yrs warranty, you cannot go wrong!

Powerful V6 ...that is smooth and easy to drive and actually pretty good on fuel consumption.
Interior not as prestige as the latest model but still very nice...Plenty of room and very practical with 7 seat standard.
I have rung up 75,000 kms in 3 yrs and the car still feels and drives like new...amazing!
I would definitely recommend to family's who need reliable safe motoring at fantastic pricing.
The car has all the bells and whistles...leather,gps, Bluetooth etc...etc... bargain buying and still offers warranty inside of the 5 yr period.

We love this car. So roomy and heaps of added extras. We have 6 people in our family and we're so glad we traded our Prado in for this car. I love leather seats in a mid range model. Sat nav works well and so does the cruise control and climate control. It drives beautifully and is more affordable than others such as the Kluger or Mazda.

The only negative is the placement of the hazard lights. We always find that we lean on it whilst programming the sat nav or using the touch screen.

Best thing about it is it's comfortable. The power tail gate that senses you and opens automatically. Plus the doors that unlock when you walk up to it. Best purchase I ever made!

My 2008 EX 2.5L Diesel Sorento started to run rough and noisy at about 160,000kms. Timing chain proved to be worn and slack and needed replacement, in spite of the manual telling me that the chain would never have to be replaced for the lifetime of the motor. Would that mean that this model Sorento is only supposed to last for 160,000 ks only? Lucky I had it checked in time and avoided major problems!!

Got to fully agree with Jack and his endorsement of the Sorento diesel. I have had my 2008 EXL auto from brand new. I've towed a 2200kg van around Oz for over 100,000km across the Nullabor return 4 times, from the Snowys minus 5C to 45C in Cape Tribulation and Mt Isa. Temp gauge never varies by more than a 1/4 of a notch. Only problem so far after 160, 000km was a couple of loose bolts on the turbo, fixed in 10 mins. Only upgraded the shockies to Bilsteins after 10, 000km to minimise cornering roll. I'm one very very happy Sorento owner.

Great car, nice to drive, excellent economy, and surprisingly good off road! Seven seater is a true seven seater and not just for short trips. Good roll on power for overtaking, generally not much we don't like! Some better headlights would be good, and as the car ages, maybe we will add the king springs as we have heard good reviews about the upgrade.

All I can say is wow this beast has great torque, great fuel economy, tows my van like a dream, and has all the creature comforts that you can ask for. Can't keep my lovely wife out of the drivers seat, still at least I van have the occasional beer. Great pricing and Kia dealer go the extra mile to assist. The Kia has never missed a beat to date happy as for over 4 years
