| Price of the Kia Sorento: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Price of the Kia Sorento: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

| Price of the Toyota RAV4: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | good lease rates due to high resale value |
| Price of the Toyota RAV4: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | Price was high, dealer did not offer much of a discount or was willing to work with me on my trade-in |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | A base RAV4 is quite inexpensive. Fully optioned, the price can balloon by a third. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | No incentives |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | V6 more. Not a fair comparison. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | A bit more than the crv, didnt want to wait 3 monthes for a custom built one from toyo corp since brother works there. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | Too pricey compared to a Honda. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | Almost $5000 more than a comparably equipped Santa Fe. Depreciation will be better, but I tend to keep cars long term so upfront pricing matters to me. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Significantly higher price than comparable vehicles. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | The vehicle is somewhat expensive, but the value is high because it offers alot for that money. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Little more expensive than some competitors and no great financing rates either. I guess since the car is popular they know people will pay the extra. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | I have always thought that cars are way more expensive than they need to be. Toyota tends to be more expensive that most. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | The RAV4 was a bit more expensive than comparable cars. |

| Available Features of the Kia Sorento: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Made in USA . |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Seems well put together. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Vehicle used high quality parts in construction. Won SUV of the year for 2004. Used actual ladder box frame, not unibody. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
The sorentos build quality is excellent, the leather on the seats does not feel cheep and the dashboard doesnt feel plasticy, the vehicle is reliable as hell and mine hasnt had anything major done in 80,000 miles |

| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
All the "hard" finish on the dash is a little much. Couldn't some of the plastic have been softer? |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Felt like I was in a plastic box. A bit noisy as well. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
some interior parts are cheap. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
interior looks cheaper |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Plastic inside vehicle seems low quality compared to others |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Mine has been 100% reliable with no repairs needed beyond normal servicing. Forget the media-hyped recalls and check the reliability stats here and elsewhere...their at/near the top of most surveys. Check out the Car&Driver Cute-Ute comparison articles. The V6 AWD version topped all other similar-optioned vehicles...even the newer-designed models. And the 4-cylinder version is still seen as a safe purchase holds its own against the lower-optioned versions. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Good quality interior materials except for headliner. Not quite as good as my 2008 Accord |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Tight fit. No rattles or squeaks. |

| 2010 | 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
awful rattles and creaks when turning from drivers side, major reason to sell it after only 3 months, 8000 miles |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Hard, very cheap plastics all over the interior. Creaks, rattles, squeaks and groans are plentiful in the interior. Road noise can be invasive at times. Very disappointing in a near 40k SUV. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Hard touch plastics for the price they are asking? No way! |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Interior has held up well, but there's way too many hard surfaces on dash & doors. But it's comparable to other value-priced Cute-Utes (under $30K) designed & marketed prior to 2009. Most auto manufacturers have focused on upgrading the interiors since the later 2000s, when they re-design their vehicles. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Heating duct drains were not installed properly causing water to drain into passenger compartment. The evap cannister will fill with gas if you top up your tank beyond the first click at the pump, causing it to fail. Poor design. $1000 repair. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Interior materials are more spartan and more trucklike than competing models. Other than that, overall fit and finish is very good though. |
