Had a 2014 diesel Sorento, traded it off at 107k kms for a 2019 gt line diesel. Going strong at 82k kms. Love them to bits ❤. Great car, no problems at all.

Your car reviews are almost the best on YouTube. For me ride quality is one critical point when shopping for a car/suv vs a ute and you are the only channel that does a ride quality test that gives the information that I need. Your reviews are very good, practical and informative. I always run to your channel first to watch the review before heading to other channels. Thanks for your hard work and please continue doing it.

I have been driving a 2023 model as a hire car and love it. Ordered a new model early Jan, already arrived in Melbourne, delivery scheduled for 12th of Feb.

Good morning (South African time), Paul. Thanks for the review. This is one of my favourite SUV. Now that you've done the KIA, I hope the new Santa Fe will follow soon!

[Farrisss]

You guys are just one of the best channels for cars content on youtube, I really like your quality of explanation. Huge love from Saudi Arabia to you and your crew members 🤍🇸🇦.

[apex-Khurram]

Can't wait to see you hit millions of subs.. really love your content and how detailed it is. The hard work and time you put into it really shows. Much respect and prayers from UAE.

I waited 22 months. My order was converted to the new model and picked it up two days ago.

Kia is knocking designs out the park even with their mid life updates. Nice. Wish they could improve the seat comfort.

[BadmintonFlick]

I have this on order since September and it is about to arrive very early Feb, and I was just waiting for you guys to put a video out on this, thanks a lot!!!

[matts]

I recon your car videos are seriously the best going around…. Thanks Paul.😊

[ramajyello]

Whatever KIA is doing, they should keep with it. I love how classy and practical their cars are. For the driver assistance stuff, they could easily push out an update that adds a button to the home screen that can either be customized to perform a certain action or be predefined by the brand to disable all that bs. This is only if they can't have the car remember the last settings.

Been waiting for this review for months 😩😩 saw the face-lift from last year ❤ and I've been waiting man. Thank you 👍🏾

[beaverhudson]

Paul does a great job on these reviews. It was after watching his review of the Diesel MY23GT that gave me the final push to buy one. That was back in March last year and mine is coming in 3 weeks (its on a boat just of the coast of Batemans Bay on its way to Melb). So, a 12 month wait, and though there were times when I almost gave up, I couldn't find an SUV that was as good as the KIA Sorento. The V6 Diesel engine would make it perfect.

Good review!... very substantial, important things, like road noise, suspension etc covered... switch from waiting for Sportage GT to this .. expecting delivery next week

[tinnoc]

Judging by the comments I think I got lucky, here is Brisbane there where plenty in stock went to test drive one and bought the day after didn’t have to wait. Exactly the same as your review unit

[Marks.Reviews]

Agree 100% Paul, no point having tech if it’s not reliable. Who wants to pay for something that’s more frustrating than helpful.

[Ikeuchi]

Wonderful review as always Paul, looks like a great upgrade for me in the future for the family. Kia's doing great things; but cars in general are getting too darn expensive! Did it have a hidden rear wiper or no wiper at all?

[grantmacpherson]

Thanks Paul for a great review. My wife has the 2022 GT-Line Diesel and we both love it, tempted to update but maybe in a couple of years. And yes please to do some light offroad comparisons with large SUV 🙂.

[tundercover]

Love your work Paul & team... Would love to see some of these performance tests with the vehicle at maximum passenger capacity...

[neilsmith]

Hi Paul, thanks to your fantastic review of the GT Line Sorento & help from your team, hooking is up with Midland Kia👍🏻
I will be taking one out for a test drive.
Hopefully the waiting time isn’t too bad once ordered.
Plenty of white ones for sale. Going for Aurora Black pearl i think🤔
Keep up the good work.
