I have a 2019 Kia Sorento. I bought it September of 2018. I live in NYC so sometimes we have pretty cold weather. In January of 2019 I had a lot of trouble to start my vehicle. I brought it in to my local service center to see if they can figure out why. They told me that they weren't able to find out the problem. Fast forward to November 2019 really cold night into the morning, my car wouldn't start again. It was towed to the local service center. They had it in the shop a total of 2 and 1/2 days and they still weren't able to find the problem. This is a problem that Kia needs to step in and remedy. If this continues I may have to sell this vehicle and buy a competitor's vehicle instead as well as tell everyone I know not to purchase this car or any other from this company.

Hello. I need an SUV or Truck for living in the harsh winter of Canada. Also, I love camping, but I do not have a camping trailer. I watched your video, and I am unsure if Honda Passport works for me or a truck (F150 or RAM 1500). Their price is almost in the same range! If you were me, which car would you pick up?

I agree the CX-30 and CX-5 are both great cars for the size and money, I test drove them both, but the rear side/blind spot visibility is poor for older and less visually acute drivers. The Subaru Forester is the sub compact SUV we chose, and it’s a great ride. Only problem is the colors offered are underwhelming with the exception of the Sport model in black with orange accents. Turns the boxy look into cool old school mini SUV. Mercedes there’s no way good reliability translates to all these lines. Edmunds get real.

@Ayush Malpeddi yes. The biggest difference comes when the Telluride is equipped with the towing package actually (surprising, I know).

Kia's customer service department is the absolute WORST customer service department that I have ever dealt with in my 52 years of living. I paid my car off more than 6 months ago and I have called at least 12 times in the past 4 months seeking assistance but, I have been unable to obtain my title. Every time that you call them, there is a new excuse. First, it was lost in the mail. So, I asked them to provide a duplicate. The next 10 calls I was promised something by mail.

Long term ownership should be part of any serious review. Sorry, but when new all these car's warranties should cover any problems. When mentioning price and cost in a review, please add cost of ownership over a reasonable period of time. Unless I'm leasing a vehicle, the cost of ownership 3-8 years down the road is just as important as initial cost at the dealer. We LOVED our leased Mercedes SUV but were warned about long term reliability and cost to repair. We turned ours in at the expiration of the lease. My co-worker had the exact same car and one year after the warranty expires so does the reliability.
