Same, got the pacific blue 23 Sorento sx last February. It's been a beauty to drive and I commute an hour each way to work in Vancouver 4 days a week. For its size, keep it in eco mode and gas consumption is pretty decent. It's just really fun to punch it in sport mode though so gas prices can calm down anytime 😂

It looks good (reminds me of a Grand Cherokee from the front) and seems to be well equipped and a good value. However, I have no idea why they put a twin clutch transmission with the turbo trim though. If you get one of these, buy the extra warranty. I paid $2300 for the extra warranty on my previous Kia and got about $7000 in repairs covered with it (although, it was a hassle to deal with the dealer every time for it). I sold it as I was just sick and tired of dealing with it. It was good during the warranty period, but everything started to go after about 7 years. We know 4 people (including ourselves) who had the 2.0L Turbo engine and 3 of them had engine failures (was about $12k). So if you get this, get rid of it within 5 years or buy the extra warranty if you want to keep it long term.

@jeffer1101 2 ай бұрын

@@polofunk The car industry marketing departments are why we have so many small forced induction engines powering our vehicles. We are told about "better fuel economy", but the size of the engine doesn't determine that. Power does. An engine is simply a device that converts fuel into power and in turn, motion. If you are driving in a manner to "request" 200 HP, it doesn't matter if that's a 3.0L V6 or a 1.5T I4, you are going to use as much fuel as necessary to create those 200 HP. You can get a certain amount of power out of a 2.0L turbo I4 engine. If you want to double (roughly) the power, you can simply double the engine size, to a 4.0L V8. Alternatively, you could also just double the amount of fuel and air by using forced induction and achieve the same thing, which is why they do it. However, most people who have more power, will likely use it, which is why you'll struggle to see the supposed gains in fuel economy. When we had the previous gen Sorento with the 2.0T engine, it would typically be around 13L/100kms in the city. Our new Forester (that replaced the Sorento) gets around 10.5L/100 kms in the city, which is about 25% less fuel used, which is great. The engine is larger (2.5L vs 2.0L) but it isn't turbocharged, so it isn't using as much fuel and making more power.

To the question of the bench seat. The question was if we can get a loaded Sorento with bench seats. That is honestly a genuine issue for most families I know, because if you have to use the 3rd row or have 3 kids, then you lose the cargo space. Now the solution you mentioned about going to Telluride does not also solve the issue, because even that does not have bench seats on the top trim.

Bad enough that they've removed all the switches and buttons that you can use without taking your eyes off the road but because you have to touch toggle between the too many controls is just STUPID and unnecessary. VW does something equally stupid - 2 buttons for opening 4 windows, so you have to select front or back windows with another button - Are they really saving any money ? or just doing change/stupid for the sake of making it different ?

Good question about why a minivan is better. Tesla continues to shake up the entire ICE Platform Industry big time with General Motors going all in on that for the 2025 Model Year which is now imminent. Given the spectacular and in some ways spectacularly uuproven Cybertruck i would be very wary of buying anything but a very modest vehicle until this Fall, 2024. Still the Subaru BRZ is arguably the best sports car ever made. Verdict: not an SUV for the US market unless there is bench seating in the 2nd row.

Seems kind of pricey for what it is. Isn't the Hyundai Santa Fe much cheaper?

Buying a Hyundai/KIA (IMO) is like buying a generic brand electronic device at Wal-Mart that was made in China, & paying as much for it as a good Japanese brand. Sadly, Korean manufacturers seem to prefer to mimic Chinese quality/service standards instead of Japanese ones. But, they sparkle nicely when brand new, so what could go wrong?
