@@IAmTheKiaKing I’ve had the Azera which came with Hankook low profile tires. I am in Chicago. They didn’t stand against the time of road way challenges and issues. I was very grateful of the tire / rim protection warranty I purchased. It was a big challenge to honor. I soon learned that the Hankook tire is a more affordable but less resilient to certain city environments.

I own a 2018 Sorento. I have been looking at both the Sorento and Santa Fe. Since I am an old man I like the Santa Fe much better. It seems the Sorento wants to compete with Jeep. Hang in there and don't listen to the haters. I like your relaxed manner of presentation. Much luck to you.

@ 13:55, you mention, Like many other reviewers, the ONE pocket on the back of the Passenger Seat, and you don't know "why they do that"... I'll tell you why. It's called a "MAP POCKET". It is there for the DRIVER to be able to reach around the back of the Passenger seat and get a MAP out ! Yes, it's something that young ins don't know about...Paper Maps, But that's what it is, and it's reason. Now, that being said, most people just fill those pockets with Garbage and things for their Kids today, not maps. So it's understandable why folks like yourself, just don't understand the "one Pocket thing". That's okay... But now you know !

One should ask the engineer what they were thinking with the wheel design. I heard they are coming with a 20 inch wheel. Hurry up.Maybe the size of this tire will distract one from this pattern. Wishing you the best with your You-Tube adventure.I have listened and looked at many car reviewers.You have a good voice for listening without too much emotional hype.Making a poor decision of buying a new car is a necessary evil once one has made the purchase so making a mistake is even more costly.
