Looks can be deceiving!KIA SORENTO Driven!

My expectations were sky high when i laid eyes on the all new Sorento.With a new bold direction,Kia had(on the surface atleast)made this edition of the Sorento a world beater.

Looks:Subjective.To me,it was a handsome looking vehicle and then just when thing were looking up ; i stepped inside.It was disappointing!total utter disappointment!Plastics feel cheap!"Leather" on seats had the same texture and feel of a garbage bag.A short look to the Sorentos' competitors (most of them are cheaper then the Sorento)has revealed that Kia(in my annoyed opinion) is trying to pass of a AVERAGE car,as a world class one.The fit and finish in the Sorento wasn't even close to other Kias' i've been in recently.

Cabin:legroom/headroom:good.Too distraught to even bother.

Ride:comfort; above average.
