| Price of the Kia Sorento: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Incentives are enticing 0% financing and very competitive lease options |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For the price, you get a very well made car |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very competitive pricing compared to like size and equipped vehicles. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I bought pre owned and I couldn't find another brand SUV with the same features for the same price. Definitely a fan of the low price. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Our year old range topping Sorento XT auto cost £17000. The eqivalent VW, Audi, Land Rover etc start at £30000+ for the base models. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
For a 4wd with pretty much every option and being a 07 left over paying $20K for it was a pretty sweet deal. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Best price for what you get on the market today. EX model 4x4 for 25K. No other manufacturer can match it. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
Because of the relatively rapid depreciation, it is a great value as a used car. |

| 2012 | 4dr SUV 191-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Not a terribly expensive vehicle, and a good value, but in comparison to the Dodge would be significantly more expensive to get anything close to the feature set the AVP Journey has |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Half the price of the Cayman, terrific performance at the price. Has all the performance goodies (hot engine, 6 speed manual, forged wheels, limited slip differential, big brakes) albeit at a step down in quality from the Porsche |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Price is amazing for all the options included and the performance. The car is a rocket. Leather eated seats, heated mirrors, 6 cd changer, gripper brakes, nice ride and great handling. |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
I got a good car at a good price. |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 300-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
If you are looking for a sport car this the most bang for the money you can get. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Practically a bargain nowadays when purchased used. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Every other car out there is either slower around a track, or costs more than the 350Z. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
reasonable pricing |

| 2010 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Too little car for what Nissan asks. What it does, it does really well, just not at a 10-15k premium over the Genesis |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The price was a bit too much for the car, I paid the same price for the Infiniti. |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
not cheap |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
i feel like the car is just slightly over-priced on its own merits, but when compared to other vehicles in its class it appears very affordable. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Generally they are expensive. I got mine for a great price however. |
