Another Sorento question

Cheers Seth, I should of added it is the 138 BHP model. I'm quite sure it'll do a great job of pulling our van.

If your going to plum for a model fitted with auto transmission and the lower powered engine,i would'nt expect 30 hp to make much of a difference.Seems alot of the autoboxs change down needlessly anyway.

After owning both versions, you would be suprised the difference the extra BHP makes. As for the auto box, they have always behaved perfectly under all circumstances.

Im not denying i do expect they have behaved perfectly,but auto,s seem to select a lower gear when in reality they dont have to.I noticed this last week with mine on a run to cornwall,put me off a little bit as i dont like to see large engines reving high.
