I tweeted! http://twitter.com/andreama13/status/7287016482
I like that the Kia is still proudly made in AMERICA!
I cannot argue with that, Melissa!
I love that it comfortably seats 7. Between the 3 growing boys, their friends, the dog & us, we need lots of room!
Us too, Lisa – I remember when we were doing dual carseats with our girls. Those things took up so much room!
I Like that even the EX V6 gets decent gas mileage (20/26)
Definitely better than our little V6 SUV, which gets around 21 on the highway.
I follow and tweeted!

Good power, nice size, not too small not too big
The EX V6 gets decent gas mileage
I like that is has a usable third row seat.
Right – I’d like to see one, but it looks good. Our kids are going to rebel, one of these days (the 3rd row in our SUV is kids-only!).
I like that it gets decent gas mileage!
I like the gas mileage, the color choices, and the fact that it is made in America.

Safety, Styling and Quality – Simplified.
The Kia Sorrento – simply the right car at the right time. By Americans, for Americans.
Gosh, our family loves to camp and I ran across this while on twitter. I’m victoria99999 and I Retweeted.
American made and plenty of room to keep some space between the kids!
The quality and styling
There is so much I love about the 2010 Sorento! Number of course is the SAFETY for my family (dual front & seat mounted airbags), the 10 yr. 100,000 mile warranty and of course the styling (LOVE the bright silver!)
I tweeted about this also!

I like it cause it is built in West Point, GA not far from where we live.
I like that it is made in America.

With three kids, the seating for seven is a great way to ensure each of the kids has their own space!
I Love the spec on the new Kia! We had an ‘08 and are ready to upgrade to the ‘11 for the better gas mileage and wonderful power for the not too bulky size!
And of course, as others have said, being made in America is a wonderful bonus for our economy!
Thanks!

I love that its American Made!!
I love the sleek styling and the awesome safety features. 6 airbags & a reinforced body!

Keep building them in the USA!!!!
I like the interior space and the reinforced body structure. Safety is a big concern after being in an accident this last year. It also looks cool!
Beautiful styling and the best is it has Sirius radio! I can’t live without my Sirius.
I really like that the new 2011 Kia Sorento has a lot of great safety features, like the side curtain airbags in the 1st & 2nd rows. That would make any Mom like me feel safer when driving family around.

It’s made in America!!! (and it just looks cool)
I gotta agree…the fact that it seats 7, yet still doesn’t look like a BEAST on the road!
I love that it’s made right here in The USA!
