actually im planning to buy this car. But im still hesitant about the
reputation of the car being a new player on a field of 4x4. Is it a 3.5
liter engine? Can i have some pointers of ups and downs of Sorento. In
asia where im residing, the available engine type were 1.6 or 2.0liters
only. So i don't know if it can crawl as what in the picture of Mr.
Edmound.
So i hope you can help me to know better about sorento.
Regards,

I recently drove it - not a bad little truck. I ended up buying a Saturn
VUE, simply because my wife liked it (and the 250hp Honda engine) better.

I'd see if you could get a V6, though - it is a heavy truck. The 1.6 or 2.0
engines - are those diesel or petrol?

I live in USA so my sorento has the 3.5 V6 I am sure the 1.6 or 2.0 will
surely get you better fuel mileage then my 3.5 V6 I don't think you would
have any problem off roading with this truck I don't see KIA building it if
they did not expect it to get the job done.
