Greetings,

Our 2003 Sorento EX 2wd has 35k miles on it and so far we've had one bad
spark plug and ignition coil (replaced all plugs and coils under warranty),
the dash clock has never worked right (getting it replaced next week if the
wife has time), and the dome light stopped working for about 3 months
(self-corrected - don't know why but it works now).  Low mpg is 18, high is
21.

Have performed nothing more than routine book maintenance, change the oil
every 5k miles with Mobil-1 synthetic and Purolator PureOne oil fiters, and
air filters, etc. as recommended.

Overall, this truck is holding up and performing woderfully.

Cheers - Jonathan

A few Sorento forums to get a good idea how the Sorento is doing.

I have 35K miles on mine. So far, the dash console clock has been
replaced, and I had a minor problem (buzzing) in the automatic locks in
a rear passenger door.  Both repaired quickly and under warranty.

Excellent vehicle, comfortable, reliable.  Will look to KIA again when
its time for something else.  (Prior multiple Ford and multiple Volvo
owner.)  Can't beat them for the combination of low price, reliability
and outstanding warranty.

p.s. - I bought my Sorento a year after we bought the wife a Sedona.
Both are still running strong, with little or no problems.  We plan on
buying a new Sedona in 2007 as the wife prefers the stow-way third bench.
