Hi
I've now had my Sorento for 18 months and driven 22,000 miles in it. it took about 5000 miles to bed the suspension down and stop bouncing over the bumps. as the engine is guaranteed for 5 years (as is everything else including exhaust) if there was a problem it would be fixed for free. the only thing i would advise is that if you do go ahead and buy one check the oil frequently. Mine almost ran dry in the first few months as it only had delivery amount in. when i picked it up from the garage i was told to take it back after 1 year or 12000 miles. My previous new car was a Ford and they do a snag check after 1 month, 1000 miles. this is where Kia fall down on after sales service.
The alloy wheels have started to corrode and the electric door mirror has an intermitent fault (i fold my mirrors in every time i park as i don't want people walking into them). the mirror and wheels are being replaced free of charge.
I love my car - and would thoroughly recommend to anyone.
