Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This is my fourth Kia and I enjoy a lot of car for my money without paying for badge kudos. I treated myself to the KX4 with two tone interior and the punitive VED (it was over £40k new) is something many might need to consider over a KX3, although I haggled this point well with the Kia dealership i bought from. The safety items make a surprisingly low insurance premium to make up for the hefty VED and I got servicing for years 4 and 5 (which is worth a pretty reasonable £329 or so pre-paid). Very quiet 2.2 litre diesel engine and nice smooth automatic transmission. Ride comfort is good and I am a leisurely driver who does not like stiff suspension for a "spirited B road thrash" once in a while whilst putting up with the jolts from every day poor trunk road and industrial estate surfaces which the Sorento set up smooth out very much to our liking.

How reliable do you find the car?

As per my previous 5yo/65000 miles Kia Sportage there are no rattles or loose trim and the build quality is excellent.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Love the radar cruise control and smart electric tailgate especially.
