Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / February 2008Opinions on Kia Sorento
I like the engine... I like the chassis.. The manual gearbox seems good.. They (Kia) have been making military vehicles for decades.. So what are your opinions... Especially on a bit of hardening... Suspension and handling seems to point to being modified for "Soccer Moms".. Mad Mick of Blowin' Bowen > I like the engine... I like the chassis..

As the Linux is for many others... ;) Kia's rep isn't great. But I remember not that long ago the Hyundia brand that Alan Bond brought to Australia. Some friends had the original Excel coupe; and on both cars the doors fell off while driving along. Funny, but not that funny. Now hyundia even has the i30 car that has won aclaim as best in class. All car builder start somewhere. And our established brands in the market have had some clanger's over the years. Out in the Mount Isa area at one stage we used to use rolled-over Hilux's as mile post markers.. LOL.. Now it's a bit of a benchmark..

Oh and Thanks for the opinion >> I like the engine... I like the chassis.. The manual gearbox seems good.. >> They (Kia) have been making military vehicles for decades.. as in most cases the military vehicle quality is a far cry from the quality of general purpose civilian production cars you only have to look at the Hummer to see that Kev >>> I like the engine...

I believe they brought "green" version recently, probably still disgusting economy. If you have time take the Kia for a drive, very non-military on inside and finish.
