Kia Sorento 2015Change

I didn't think a company could make as good a car as this one for the price they were charging. Thankfully, I was wrong! It is a smooth car with no problems and I am happy I took a chance!

I don't to drive a lot as I work from home, so Kia is always after my rides. I traded in my 2012 Rondo on a new 2015 Sorento. The ride is impeccable and firm, in my brother's words (he has one as well unbeknownst to me until a few days ago), we upgraded to a luxury vehicle, from a Ford Escape.

In May of this year we decided to take a trip from Ontario to British Columbia, driving all the way. I was afraid the Sorento wasn't up to it but I was pleasantly surprised. Pulling a 1300 pop up trailer with a 4 liter engine we had no problem going out west with the big (ok, huge) hills in northern Ontario. Gas mileage isn't the best, but you will enjoy all the amenities and the drive.

After looking at Mercedes, Toyota, Nissan, VW and Ford, Someone told me to take a look at the Kia Sorento. I did, and it put the rest to shame. For what I paid and for what I received, it makes you wonder how Kia do it - or perhaps the other brands are just ripping us off??? I honestly cannot fault anything. It's a $40,000 car that has all the extras and finishes of a $65K + vehicle. From the paint work, to the solidness of the doors, the leather heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, voice activated multimedia package, etc. I've always bought Mercedes, but I really could not justify an extra $30K just to have the Mercedes name. The service I have received also out shines that I get at Mercedes - which really surprised me. Perhaps the bigger names have become complacent??? Before buying your usual brand, I urge you just to have a look at what Kia has to offer. You'll kick yourself for not looking sooner.
