Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not alot.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Not Much Now.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No..Comfortable well equipped cabin, ride a little hard vehicle pleasing to the eye, loads of extras. inc rear self leveling suspension..great asset for towing. I didnt own the vehicle long enough to rate its reliability 3 months to be precise.I purchased it new in 2014 as a tow vehicle that had a max tow weight of 2500Kg .. My Swift caravan has a total tow weight of 1560Kg. We mostly visit CL sites which mainly offers fields & meadows to park your caravan. On soft grass the vehicle didnt like reversing the caravan, the engine bay started to emitt a horrible strong burning smell along with smoke from the clutch area. This happened 3 times in concession. Dealer inspection & no faults found. Apparently these new Kia Sorento models use a DM flywheel (Dual Mass)....... got rid.
What are you likely to buy next?
Certainly not a vehicle using a DM set up..Next willbe a 4x4 Vehicle with standard tried and tested clutch & fly wheel.
