Handling

The Kia Sorento is a pleasure to drive, it exhumes confidence on the road, it's a very stiff ride in the EX model, but better then the SX version. I'm hoping that in time it will loosen up, but the trade off is almost no car lean and cetain handl

Exterior styling

Unless you like cubism then the Sorento is a far better looking CUV IMHO, however; the Pilot is kind of Range Rover esque, which some might find appealing. The Sorento looks amazing with the fog lights, roof rails and side running board with tow package.
