Keith, Have you ever driven a Hyundai, or a KIA?? I doubt it?? They are
a very good car that gets very good support by the dealers. I just got
done with a 1600 mile drive in my KIA in one weekend. It performed very
well, and got very good gas milage for a mid sized SUV. I even surprised
a Chevy Suburban driver, that I set the pace for, that he followed me
into a filling station for gas, and was surprised that I was getting
20mpg at the pace we were running. (80+mph).
Fit and finish is very good. Many features on the KIA Sorento, that you
cant get on a Detroit Iron. And all for less than $20K after trade of a
dead Cherokee.
