Summary: This suv is the biggest piece of crap ever. It had only 2k on it when we started having problems. The lights in the shifter went out. Then it sprung a leak of engine coolant. Next it started to shift funny, we had it into the dealership several times before they ever resolved that issue. They put us in a filthy, smokey, sorrento as a rental. It was so bad, I wouldnt put my kid in it. Then it starts stalling just out of nowhere. We took it to the dealership several times, and of course when they get the car, they cant (duplicate the problem). In other words your stuck with it, cause we cant figure it out. I hope it doesnt stall on my wife when she is on the interstate. They had to replace the seats because they were wearing out ,it didnt have but 9,000 miles on it. It also screams like a pig when you start it and drive it. Could not duplicate that problem either. I have that on video several times. It is pretty bad when you have had a car less than a year, and have had so many problems, and need to take the time to video them. We have been to the dealership at least 10 times for problems. I know im forgetting other issues but it is my wifes car and she has all the paperwork. The kia customer service is terrible. It is like talking to a robot. Dont ever buy a kia
Strengths: none
Weaknesses: cheap, poor customer service

Summary: i have read a lot of reviews posted by other owners,and it seems to me that most of the problems stem from the earlier models.i,too have the premium stereo,and unless you are hard of hearing,the sound is great.the ride is great,quiet.the gas mileage :i am now getting 15.6 city,and 24 hwy.the only thing is the disc brakes squeal when wet.great dealership !!!
Summary: I think it is a great vehicle. Childress dealership is topnotch. I have owned other Kia models and they never shifted any blame on the customer. They just fixed it. I think most people complaints are rooted with the dealership. The one I go to makes no excuses. They honor all warrantied items and are just terrific. I DON'T WORK FOR THEM! This is my candid and impartial opinion. Mark
Strengths: Great SUV with ;ots of features.
Weaknesses: Gas mileage could be better.....
