This car saved my wife’s life
by Jimmy on 3/23/2026 12:34:33 PM
My wife fell asleep at the wheel at about 85 miles an hour going through Texas. She went off the road and she woke up and she just turned right and went right back up on the road like it was no thing. lol excellent car probably would also helped her as she had some really aggressive tires on it - 5.0
Love my Sorento!!
by Jude on 3/12/2026 10:03:02 PM
Absolutely love my new Wolf Gray Sorento! Very driver friendly, which is paramount for me. Great gas mileage, roomy interior, user-friendly panoramic dashboard, so comfortable on both long/short trips, handles well, esp in snow, great exterior/interior looks, third row is a huge plus, lots of storage space esp when 3rd seat is folded down, tons of standard safety features, tons of standard “bells & whistles”….i could go on & on. Best thing for prospective buyers to do is test drive one and see if it fits your needs/wishes/expectations for a new car. - 5.0
Excellent vehicle love it
