Model Reviewed: Kia Sorento EX

Strength:

Finish, comfort, features. I got the leather which is quite hard, which I like as you don't sweat like you do in soft plush leather.

Weakness:

It is a bit bouncy on the rough stuff. The step style towbar is a piece of s&*t. You loose what little departure angle you had. It really needs a bumper bar replacement style Bullbar as the plastic bumper bar is too easily damaged

Every morning I pull my car out of the garage and think, damn I love this car. I bought it as an alternative to Falcon and Commodores for use as a company car. I get between 12 and 13 litres/100klm. It is so quiet and smooth. It doesn't like corrugated roads however. Mine does 0-100 in 8.85 seconds! Not bad for a 4WD. The brakes are the best brakes I have ever had in any car I have driven. You can almost stand on them without ABS coming on as you come to a screaming halt when on the bitumen. I wish I could turn the ABS off when in the bush though.

Nissan Patrol SWB which I still have for when I don't want to worry about scratching my new baby :-) Wish I could post a photo of my Kia at Menai! I will try to post one here: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~brierley/kia.jpg
