Thanks.
tidester, host
30psi is about right. I think my trooper takes 32 front and 37 rear as standard tire pressures. The infamous Exploders had 26psi reccommended for them.

The Dealer wouldn't sell it for 2000 less invoice.
Most dealers don't even want to sell it for 500 over invoice. I had to haggle for 2 months to find my price of 25,500. 13 of 15 dealers in MA said they couldn't sell a Silver EX with ABS for 25,500. The lowest price was 26,200. Most wanted to sell it for MSRP because of the short supply.
Anyway, if you really got it for that price, you traded something in and got lowballed on your trade.

My head hits and the seat doesn't quite go all the way back. This is with sunroof and electric leather seats.
This is while sitting in dealer lot. I can only imagine hitting my head while the truck is moving on road, or SLAMMING my head when off road!!!
Anyone else have problems with headroom?
Maybe another seat/trim package is better? Maybe a bench seat? I'd guess without sunroof has a little more headroom. Anyone know for sure?
God Jul to everyone!
I brush the roof with it in the parking lot, and can only imagine hitting my head on road bumps and smashing my head off road. I didn't try one without sunroof yet.
Is leather available without sunroof, or is it a package? I wish it had a front bench to seat 3 across.

I could (and tried it) to lean the seat back, but it would be too far for driving comfortably. Good for watching football, but not for driving.
Wicked bummer!

I do fit in a VW Passat with a sunroof . . . but just barely. Because most sunroofs take out between 1 and 2 inches of headroom in a vehicle I have accepted that I will never own a vehicle with a sunroof. (And contrary to the myth, you can not open the sunroof and drive with your head sticking out. There is too much roof still intact directly above the drivers head so it is not a straight shot out the roof. Besides, any abrupt lane change and your head will whack the side sill of the sunroof opening.)
Just my $.02

mdsorento - I don't notice any smell. I am not sure And I do smell that when the radiator fan is on to exhale the engine heat. I think this is normal for any new cars.
ps# happy new year to all!!!
I've had my Sorento for two week s now and have realized an annoying rattling coming from the rear seat by the release button on the passenger right side. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what did they do...Thanks
#90: lok888 and I are lucky. No vibrations here either, none whatsoever! We have EX with luxury and auto load leveling. You may wish to hop on over to main Sorento forum and read about pros & cons.
#92: It would be surprising to hear from scblcb again. Several people asked him when he made his original post and he never answered. Seems like #61 is his first and only post on Edmunds. His price sounds too good to be true. So maybe he made a mistake or...?
#94: no noise from brakes and no hesitation at 2,000-3,000 RPM or any other RPMs. Only thing even remotely close to 'hesitation' is unexpected downshift when accelerating in city traffic. Too lazy to disengage over-drive, I guess.
#95: I had a soft rattling sound from the luggage area. It wasn't annoying...just something noticeable. I finally traced it to the cargo cover not seated correctly. The cargo cover tabs come protected with thick, clear plastic wraps. After I removed the wraps and properly seated the tabs, no more rattling
#96: before you spend $$'s on these lights, you may wish to read comments and opinions on the "Aftermarket headlights/ bulbs (halogen, xenon, etc.)" forum, part of the "Aftermarket & Accessories" message board. IMHO, stock Sorento fog lights hardly make any difference, barely noticeable. On the other hand, stock low-beams are plenty bright enough for me, but still would be interested in your experience....if you decide to install them.
jeyone - What exactly the button that you are talking about? Also, I am still looking the headlight specs from the Kia techs and the sylvania web site. I can't believe the Kia don't put this on the manual. Maybe we can able to tell by remove the bulbs. Like schip1 said, I wouldn't bother the fog lights.
I think that may be what the manual explains on page 4-39 under ABS system:
"when you apply your brakes under conditions which may lock the wheels, you may hear a "tik-tik" sound from the brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation in the the brake pedal. this is normal and it means your ABS system is active."
Since this sound/feel is when at a stop it may assume the wheels were locked and release it..
#94 I also hear the brakes make a thud sound when I come to a stop and release the brakes. It seems to happen more often when the brakes get hot. It feels like the brakes are sticking. since it only does it once in a while I am really not to concerned. But I will keep an eye on it.
#90 I would recommend the Sorento. Although people are posting messages with some problems, It is really not a bad vehicle. Every car out there has some issues. I own an 02 Toyota Sienna that has some rear brake and front suspension issues, and this is a TOYOTA, you know it's not supposed to break?? LOL.. Anyway I don't think you would be disappointed if you went for a Sorento. The warranty kicks butt and KIA is trying hard to satisfy people. Good luck!!
tight and this is normal with all Kia's. I never owned a Kia before so I have no idea if he is telling me the truth. He said if I want they will scuff up the belts and put dressing on them, but the problem will come back in about two weeks. Has anyone else had this problem or is there anyone who can give me any suggestions? It almost sounds like an old car with a bad water pump squealing. Thanks.
