I originally thought they were bland but been growing on me a bit. Quite a good looking car imo and well kitted out for offroading.
Anyone owned one?

Friend had the shortage. Compact enough and didn't have many issues with it.

I had a sorento and enjoyed it with plenty of toys gadgets heated cooled seats ect. I did however blow up the rear diff flooring it out a junction tho still drove normal as the rear diff is set up as a torque converter so ran fwd most of the time anyways. Was 6 month too late to claim the 7 year warranty

I had a high mileage one for a year or so and liked it. It was my first SUV and enjoyed the comfort and how easy it was drive. It had a lot of tech including heated rear seats, which was nice.

Only had issue I had was with the suspension, which broke on the many speed bumps around here. Eventually got rid of it, as needed more space for the kid & dog.

Pretty funny how a 4x4 SUV's weak point is the suspension. Clown world
