Cons: How would you improve 2005 Kia Sorento?
better quality parts so the suv doesn't break down every other month

2005 Kia Sorento Review:
The kia breaks down on average every other month and my latest breakdown the dealer can't figure out what is wrong and will no longer try to fix it. It has a misfire and stalls on me.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Kia Sorento?
looks - just a great looking car. Mine was used as a rental car at LAX before I bought it, so i know it wasn't really pampered. Still, it's really tight.Lots of standard features in the LX that would bump others 2- $3,000.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Kia Sorento?
Like everyone else, gas mileage. Perhaps some more HP - the 2007 is at 263. Smart move.
Have noticed some wheel hop on high speed corners with bumps because of solid rear axle.

2005 Kia Sorento Review:
Overall, for the price, you can't beat it. You could buy 3 of 'em for the price of a BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes, and the difference is minimal - except for unnecessary toys.
