Should I purchase a Kia Sorento?

I am in the market for a new SUV and considering the Kia Sorento. Is it a reliable and low-maintenance option? Which model year offers the best value for the price?

Absolutely, the Kia Sorento is a great choice for a reliable and low-maintenance SUV. I have owned mine for 5 years now and have had no major issues. As for the best value for the price, I would recommend looking at the 2017 model. It offers a good balance of features and affordability.

I personally have not had a good experience with my Kia Sorento. After just a year of ownership, I started experiencing transmission issues and the cost of repairs was not worth it. I would recommend considering other SUV options.

As a mechanic, I have worked on many Kia Sorentos and have found them to be relatively easy to maintain. However, I would suggest staying away from the 2011 model as it has had the most reported issues.
