thanks for your info

i've had an estate and just fancied a 4x4

must admit i've got a test drive in a Kia Sorento tomorrow

we have the hyundai santa f'e 2.7 V6 auto and it pulls very well,the 5 year warranty is good too.

I had one for a week as a courtesy car..

Possibly the WORST car i have EVER driven!!

Uncomfortable, badly built , handled like a bathtub.... i could go on and on!

 Each to his own I expect

yes we love ours its comfortable and well built.

Hi Mickey

Due to get mine 1st March (Santa Fe 2.2cdx )...test drove Sportage Titan first it now has a 7year warranty and was going to order one. . but the following week I test drove the Santa Fe and in my humble opinon it was a much better.buy....time will tell. 5 years is still a good warranty and the dealer is only 4 miles away so roll on 1st March.

tested the warranty a few trimes with no problems,the parts were replaced free of charge including fitting,due to pitting and blisters i had four new wheels fitted.ours is a 2004.

We test drove a Santa Fe last year as we like the looks, warranty, finish etc-but it was awful, my wife was almost car sick, it was very bouncy almost as if the tyres had been inflated too much.

Also tried a Discovery 3, fabulous but a bit bigger than we need.( and expensive!)  Freelander 2 very good but overpriced and not convinced on Land Rover reliability yet.

Test drove a Sorento, and bought it, the demo car was up for sale!! Superb car.

Its of course down to personal choice.

thanks for or your comments

have been driven both sorento and sante fe

must admit liked both but am beeing draw towards the sante fe on looks, and more choice in colours (don't like the different colour wheel arches and bumpers on sorento which only leaves black or silver) and the 5 year cover

the sorento is made under licence to hyundai,BUT the sorento was tow car of the year in 05 or 06 not sure.
