Hi Rodders, we have had 2 sorento's,both XE models, first one was 03 when they were first launched, swapped for a 55 plate, we are now thinking of swapping for another one, we absolutely love them, fantastic value for money, pull like a train, we have a new swift conqueror T/A 1810KG, tows it superbly.

Neither have been back to the dealers for anything other than a service!

Buy with confidence!!

regards, Andrew.

only problem was a leaking shock and a chaffed air con pipe but its been off road and high mileage so maybe that could be expected but really happy with it got my pimped tinted windows and side steps love it

We have a 05 Sorrie. Excellent in all aspects. Some older ones had a problem with steel door liners on the back doors. Most were replaced with plastic so check. Quite a dear job apparently. There is a web site forum at http://kiasorento.proboards45.com/index.cgi?. Have a look but don't be put off by apparent faults on the technical pages- they attract problems.

Hi Rodders

My '05 xs does what the box says. It tugs the Senator Wyoming effortlessly.

A lot of car for the money.

Cheers

Best towcar I have ever owned or driven, seems to go better towing a caravan and always brings a smile to my face especially towing up hills !

Hi Rodders, i don't know where in the country you are, if you are buying from a main dealer, try Draycotts at sutton in ashfield, we live in Leicester, we have had 2 sorento's from them, just ordered our third! an XT this time!!

Its a little way to travel, but they always look after us, if they haven't got a car to suite you, they will find you one!!

Ask for John Beach, sales man, fantastic bloke, wouldn't deal with anyone else!

Andrew.
