In their own words

I love my Sorento. This is the 3rd one I have had. Drives like a car, but works like a truck. Great for towing my horse trailer, far easier to drive/park/turn than the Discovery I used to have. The XE is slightly basic in comparison to the XS I had previously e.g. the wing mirrors dont fold in, no parking sensors or leather interior/heated seats which I miss. The XE also does not have cruise control which for me is not a problem but my OH likes it lol. The XE is perfectly fine, everything works well, but I think for the small amount more it costs for an XS or XT then you definitely get far more for your money. However, on the mechanical side, I have never had a problem. I get about 400 miles to each tank of diesel (approx £80) which again for a large car I thought was quote good. MY 2005 XS did about 330 miles to a tank. I can definietly recommend a Sorento, they are great work horses and in comparison to some, quite cheap to purchase and run.
