LOL, that blast from the past paranoia/red scare commercial type insert... +1! Please keep up the great reviews. I like knowing the good and the bad and what the competition has to offer.
Yup that third row is barely habitable. I had the misfortune of sitting back there for a 15 minute ride and as a 6 foot male I wanted out the second I got back there. Oh well. Great review as always, Micah!
I like the Sorento, but I think Kia needs to bring the Sorento more in line with the Santa Fe and bring out 2 models, a proper 3 row V6 crossover and a 2 row 4 cylinder.
The 2016 Kia Sorento will be two models and in line with the Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport. There will be two 4 cylinder engines (Regular and Turbo) for the two row and the 3 row Sorento will be a V6 only. The new models will be coming in Early 2015.
