Well I have had my Sorento EX V6 since March 28th.
So far only things I have done is get the front windows tinted (due to the crazy Washington nuts could not get them dark) which are not matching the other windows and are a lite tint.
Added a tow package and got electric brakes installed. Was like $700.
The ride is firm and solid which I like. I have noticed that when I am gentle with the gas peddle I get pretty good MPG. For city/rural driving I get 17.3 to 17.8 MPG. Not to bad.
Highway driving across state was like 23-24.8 mpg (Washington state has lots of hills and such if you didn't know.) .
There are 2 things that is 'slightly' annoying to me.
If you have not noticed, that wing of the seat is bigger near the console in the front seats. Make me feel like I am not sitting in the center of the seat and rather leaning in.
Also since I am 6' and my seat is usually all the way back, the leg room behind me is so small.
Small thing I would like to see is they add a audio alarm when you go to drive and your parking break is on. Could be audio and on the radio display have a red triangle with the explanation point in the middle flashing. Many times I forget and start to go and notice its not riding right. That small BREAK icon is to small.
I'm at 3600miles on it and enjoy the ride. My Sorento gets lots of looks too.
I am very happy to see all the progress KIA has made.
