2007 KIA Sorento reviews

Kia Sorento Rio Ice Diesel CRDi 2007

OK being used to a KIA Sorento, for value for money and a tow car for my hols, I decided to take the plunge again with a new KIA RIO ICE Diesel for my daily work horse...and why not, the Sorento is perfect...what reason the KIA RIO ICE Diesel is not...and what a surprise when I took it for a test drive. The engine is just fab and being nearly 6’4’ the head room is excellent. OK, it’s a pretty basic car but when you add A/C and central locking and a vehicle which can pound the motorway mile after mile hour after hour and still give you 50 plus to the gallon (don’t know where they get the 60) it is good if not fab value for money. Like every car there is a niggly bit or 2 why o why do you have to put the key in the door for central locking and it s not remote, and why o why when you turn it to defrost do you have to switch off the AC. Apart from that buy one....you will not be disappointed. The general value for money is excellent and if you take time you will get a discount from the so called non negotiable price. I did not but my trade in made up the deficit. By the way, the plain white non metallic (as I have) is so clean and the paint finish is quite simply fab. Summary, traffic jams and motorway working within the limits of course you will find it difficult to get less than 50 MPG whatever the conditions and at nearly £5 a gallon that we pay to our friendly and respected Mr Brown you should seriously consider it. Shame this nation has to go elsewhere to get a decent product.
