Good day, I like the car and have actually seen someone that wants to deal and I am just holding off to make up the funds for the deal/purchase. What are the likely issue. Should I be scared. Cc: Gazzuz, Siena, ikenna |

There are no bad cars, only cars that should not be badly used. |

There are no evil cars only inexperienced users and mechanics. A car is not just a car regardless of what your mechanic says. Do not take a Kia vehicle to a Toyota mechanic unless all you need to do is oil change. The systems are not the same and mechanics have specialities, meaning vehicles they were trained with. I drive a Kia and it is a beautiful machine. A while ago I had a problem with the car and which a very educated "other" mechanic spent a whole day testing and finally assured me would require serious repairs including change of brainbox and other terribly expensive items. A mechanic from a nearby Kia dealership ran the car for only 2 minutes and that was how long it took him to pinpoint the problem. Repair did not put a dent on my bank account. There are no bad cars only inexperienced users and mechanics I again assure you. 3 Likes |

emonkey: Have you tried landrover freelander? ![]() |
Re: Please Is The 2004 KIA Sorento A Bad Choice Of Car by emonkey(m): 5:10pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
SpaceAngel: Probably not a car you should buy. I have a relation who has been using this car for more than 6 years without complaint . Some cars you must never buy if you are the type that is careless about maintenance. Just find yourself a mechanic who knows about Freelander. If you can find a Landrover dealer , go there and talk to some of the mechanics. They will be pleased to recommend someone I am sure. Never do hit or miss repair with a car that is not common on the road. |

airlord2020: I never said I knew anything about the car, only that I know someone who uses the car. Regarding his experience I can't be 100% sure, but I've never seen it towed away... not that such may not have happened when I wasn't looking though. |
