After looking at Mercedes, Toyota, Nissan, VW and Ford, Someone told me to take a look at the Kia Sorento. I did, and it put the rest to shame. For what I paid and for what I received, it makes you wonder how Kia do it - or perhaps the other brands are just ripping us off??? I honestly cannot fault anything. It's a $40,000 car that has all the extras and finishes of a $65K + vehicle. From the paint work, to the solidness of the doors, the leather heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, voice activated multimedia package, etc. I've always bought Mercedes, but I really could not justify an extra $30K just to have the Mercedes name. The service I have received also out shines that I get at Mercedes - which really surprised me. Perhaps the bigger names have become complacent??? Before buying your usual brand, I urge you just to have a look at what Kia has to offer. You'll kick yourself for not looking sooner.
