my week with Kia.

August 7, 2012 Filed in Uncategorized

i got to drive this 2013 Kia Sorento for a week!
i have never ever driven a new car.
not once.
it was such a smooth ride and was very fun to drive.


this Assembled-in-the-USA crossover vehicle has a push button start with a Smart Key.
this meant that as long as the Smart Key was in my pocket or in my purse it would unlock and start.
NO MORE DIGGING FOR KEYS!
that was genius.
it could be my favorite feature…but i had a lot of them.

it came equipped with Satellite Radio.
if you have ever had this in your vehicle you know how amazing it is
and it would be very hard to go back to regular radio.
My top 6 stations: Coffee House, Pulse, Spectrum, Message, Sinatra and Highway.

it has dual temperature controls and the kids could control their own AC in the back if they needed to.


but this feature….oh wow!
the driver’s seat was air conditioned!!
i used this feature every single time i was in the car.
i think every car in the world should have that button.
it is also heated for the winter.


the side mirrors can fold in at the push of a button….a dreamy feature for this Sonic Drive-In loving mama!
no more worries about knocking my mirrors off!

the kids really liked the cup holders in the arm rest.
it was nice to have an actual seperator too because occasionally…kids fight.
it’s true.

there is room for SEVEN in this Crossover vehicle.
but if you don’t need every spot filled the seats easily fold down flat for extra storage.
i didn’t think my whole family would fit comfortably in the Kia Sorento but we did!

with my older kids starting to drive on their own most of the time…this car is the perfect size for me!

i absolutely LOVED driving this car.
it was a treat for me!
thanks so much KIA for helping me make every ride a joy ride last week.

I received compensation from Kia Motors America, Inc., but the opinions and statements are my own.

Kia - Looks like a very affordable and practical family car. The Smart Key feature sounds real handy; personally I also hate having to dig in my purse for keys all the time.

Joni Laget3 - very nice side loveing color your site i like this blog,
http://funds2orgs.com/

buy my car - Thanks for the giveaway the next year or so and I am less than thrilled about a mini-van. Never would have considered a Kia before but will definitely do some more research about them now.

The Darrell's Blog - it is stunning how you have contrived to completely open up the subject which you have chosen for this peculiar blog entry of yours. BTW did you use any other blog articles as a source of data to fully show the entire situation that you have published in this entry?

anash - the air conditioned seat is the most unexpected! Thanks for a super giveaway!

Amanda @RunToTheFinish - living in Miami no doubt the air conditioned drivers seat would blow me down!

maria cantu - I like the heated/air-cooled seats.

sy - It was the heated/air conditioned seats, and low price. Thanks for the review and giveaway.

Iluvpirates922 - My hubby and I test drove the Sorento & fell in love!! Someday when we have kids, we’ll definitely be getting it!! We love the panoramic sunroof. It’d be great for watching storms and camping under the stars without worrying about bugs.

Kerry - The push button start!

Sarah L - Most unexpected? starting price of just over $23,000 and air conditioned seat
Thanks for the contest.

Chelsea - The air-conditioned seats were the most unexpected feature! I have the 2012 Kia Sorento and only have heated seats! Bummer!

Betty C - I think the infotainment center is the most unexpected. Actually there are so many extras in this car that really appeal to me.

Angelia Herrin - Wow I loved the auto start button and the air conditioned seats I was really surprised to find those on a kia. great job guys

anonymous - The most unexpected feature for me was that the side mirrors fold down at the touch of a button. I had never heard of that feature on a car before, although the air conditioned driver’s seat was my favorite feature.

Erica Best - i love the this look like it has alot of room and i love that. i love leg room and i am only 5 2.

ashleigh burroughs - Cup holders for kids… where were they 29 years ago when the drinks spilled everywhere b/c little hands couldn’t hold them?????

Courtney McIlwain - I love that it seats 7, I had no idea. Also the air condition seat is pretty cool

chantelle - All of the features you posted sound amazing (my favorite is the smart key… I hate digging for keys!), but I looked on the Sorento website and I saw that even the base model has a slew of cargo organizers…. YES YES YES!!! I hate my disorganized trunk and when I upgrade to a larger vehicle this will definitely have to be a priority! Thanks Megan 🙂

I’ll still be reading. xoxo

Wendy - i had no idea you could fit that many in it! Thanks for the giveaway!

Sara Grimshaw - As with most others…the A/C in the seats. This summer in St. Louis, I could’ve definately used this feature. Have fun on vacay…thanks for the chance

April - Oh man, AC for your backside? SOLD! 🙂

Tracy - I love the smart key!

amy - THe most unexpected feature is the “fold in mirrors at the touch of a button.” The feature I would enjoy the most is the dual thermostat.

Corinne - Air Conditioned Seats?!?!??!?! Sign me up!!!

Alisha - Air conditioned seats!!!! Heck yeah! But the folding mirrors is top notch!

Amanda Villarreal - I have a 2012 kia sorento that we just bought recently but came with no features. We purchased it from an auction with only 7000 miles on it! So seeing these upgrades kind of make me jealous :). I have the 7 seater as well. If I could upgrade mine, I’d totally get the a/c seats. I like things differently than my hubby does so it’ be absolutely perfect! The satellite radio is a close second :).

robyn - Air conditioned seats! Love my seat warmer would love the cooler ;0)

Allison H. - It’s a toss up between the air conditioned seats and the rear view mirrors that fold away with a button.

Lynda M. - Wow – I’ve never heard of air conditioned seats before! I would love that feature too!

Jill - Push button start? This is OUTTA my ability to even conceptualize!!!!! SUPER COOL! I had NO IDEA they could seat SEVEN either…we are a large family too and with teens they gotta have some room…WHO am I kidding we ALL NEED a little room!!!!

vicki w. - The air conditioned seats sound awesome…I’ve heard of heated seats, but not air conditioned. WOW!

Rachelle - Air conditioned seats – who knew! Fantastic!

Heidi - Wow, that was very rude!! If you have read her blog you would know that Meg does reviews every so often and does get compensated for them. It is your loss Teresa!

melissa erin - hands down. the air conditioned seat…

Library Momma - The Smart Key sounds amazing!!

meaghan - Wow! That car is awesome! So many cool features. But when you said it fits 7 I had to scroll back up. From the exterior photo you would never guess!

Tawny - I am very surprised 7 fit comfortably. I love that it is roomy and the seats fold flat, you never know when you need the space!

Jill - That smart key feature was very surprising. I’m looking for a vehicle right now so this was timely for me. Looks great!

Denise - I think the air-conditioned seats sound great (especially since I live in Texas), but I’m most surprised by the fact that it holds 7 people! We’re looking to downsize from our Expedition and now I will definitely be considering the Kia Sorrento.

Amy - Big, big fan of the AC seats! And I am constantly digging through my ginormous purse for my keys, so the smart key feature is FAB!!

Mary - Air conditioned seat! Wahoo! Would love that in this 110degree Oklahoma heat

Mollie D - tweeted~

secret mom thoughts - I love the AC in the driver’s seat. Very cool. 😉

Julie, momto7 - Oh my – air conditioned seats? That would be heaven! Thanks for the giveaway!

Jody - For some strange reason, the side mirrors having a button to push to close them makes me very happy!! I’m constantly pushing in my side mirror to miss the corner at McD’s drive through or our tight garage!!! ha!!

michelle - THe air conditioned seat would be great after a day at the pool!

Laura Mann - Wow!!! A/C driver seat is BEAST! lol! 🙂

Janel - Air conditioned seat? Cool 🙂

Jessica Anne - the airconditioned seat!

Maria - I bought a 2011 KIA Sorento in January, 2012. It was a leftover with some miles on it and it was the LX model – I think you drove the SX which is the top of the line model and is what I really wanted, but it was out of the budget 🙁 (leather, heated seats, etc)
I would have loved those air conditioned/heated seats (my old car had them) and they are mighty fine!!! I really like the car now that I’ve been driving it for seven months!

julie - The seating for 7!!!!!

Shanda - I love the fact that 7 would fit comfortably!

Andrea - I’d flip for air-conditioned seats! WHEW, it would make Dallas a little more bearable in the summer. Looks like a great vehicle–glad you got to enjoy it for a week.

Christine - The A/C seat. How cool is that?!?! And how cool that they let you have a new ride for a week. Kia has really stepped it up the last few years. Looks like a great vehicle!

Terri Fretwell - The air conditioned drivers seat! My husband has a high end vehicle that has that. I am really surprised Kia does. That is awesome!

jody Hall - Smart keys are awesome!!! No more digging for the keys in the bottom of the purse!

Maggie - First of all. YOU ARE NOT A SELLOUT. If someone paid me to drive a brand new car and write about it, I’d be all over it. With that said, I’m actually looking to buy a car that seats 7, now I’ll have to check this one out. The “Assembled in America” part is what I like best 😉 annndddd the air conditioned seating. That’s pretty boss too!

Krista - Didn’t know there WAS such a thing as a/c seats! Love that! I’m always freezing out the kids in the back with the AC on because I’m warm! Love that we share many of the same favorites on satellite radio 🙂

Teresa - I used to love your blog… but WOW what a sell out! I’m deleting it from my bookmarks and will never return again. Enjoy making a buck from these big companies paying you to brag about their products so we buy them.
Peace out Meg you major SELL OUT!!!!!!!!!!

michelle@decorandthedog - Air conditioned seats? What? Amazing.

Ann Marie - The A/C seats! Never pictured KIA as a top of the line car like that. Love that option!

sallie kay - Air conditioned driver’s seat is the BOMB! I’m a ‘sweat-er’ so this would be like a dream come true, especially after a hard walk! Plus assembled in America is the greatest! Love keeping American workers employed!

Holly Law - I LOVE that it would fit my whole family and isn’t a mini van! I have driven my van for 8 1/2 years and am ready for something a little more “stylish!”

Kathy - The Smart Key! Not having to dig for my keys would be awesome! An added benefit is that it seats 7 … I currently drive a mini van so I can haul the grands … I would LOVE something a little more hip than a mini van … and I think I may have found it!

sarah - Who knew Kia was so on top of their game! Cute car

elma - For sure the air conditioned seats!! Never heard that one and I love to that you do not need a key!! Awesome!!!

Amber B - Love the air conditioned seats! But I have to say….7? WOW!!

Melissa Irvin - I’ve driven a Sorento as a rental and agree that it is a well-appointed vehicle and it rides beautifully. Looks like they have implemented many upgrades since I rented, too. Those A/C seats would be sooooo wonderful in the GA heat! If we were in the market for a new vehicle, we’d definitely give the Sorento a look.

Jody - Surprised it fits 7!

Kari - I would have to say the air conditioned driver’s seat! I’ve never heard of a feature like that and this hot-flash-prone mama would love it!

Hannah Guskie - The smart key sounds awesome! I’m always standing there in the parking lot next to my car digging for my keys!

pam - you had me at “air conditioned” driver’s seat! I need one of those in Africa! 🙂

Karey - Ahhhhh! The side mirrors fold in??? I go to sonic at happy hour all the time so that would be a dream to have!

marilyn - I think the driver’s seat being heated and air conditioned is the biggest surprise for me. It is a beautiful vehicle.

Amy Bounds - I was surprised the Sorento fits 7. It’s a great looking vehicle.

kathy eller - I am excited to seat 7 in a crossover vehichle. I NEED to seat 7 and cant afford to drive the cars taht do.

Kim - The air conditioned seats – could definitely use those w/ the high KS temps lately!

Analia - Wow! Looks amazing! Air conditioned seats, satellite radio, what else could you want?

Linda G - The cooled seat and the smart key are both surprising to me. The price is better than I would have expected for this vehicle, especially since their 4-door cars are higher than I thought they would be. There have been a ton of Kias on the roade in NJ lately.
The steering wheel looks very large with buttons in the bottom like that. Did it feel like you were driving a big rig? 🙂

Peggy - I’m thinking the air conditioned driver’s seat is every “hot flash Mama”s dream!

Melanie - Air conditioned driver’s seat???? What!?!?!! I NEED that in our desert weather! Best feature ever!

Stephanie Z. - i dont even know what air conditioned seats are, but that is the best idea yet!

shelley - The air-conditioned seat for sure! That could be because I have been driving in these 100 degree days without a/c in my car for the last 3 weeks…horrible!

Shelley C. - Air conditioned seat??!!

Christa H. - Folding side mirrors

Anacani Garcia - It is a nice looking vehicle….but after the last few unrelenting heat of 100+ temps in my drought stricken part of Texas nothing could beat an air conditioned seat. There would be fights over who drives!

Kelly - That there are so many luxury items on it…..I would have never guessed!

Jenny - Air conditioned driver’s seat…no way…are you kidding me? These South Carolina summers would be way better with an air conditioned seat. Wow! I want one!

Janel - The air conditioned seat by far is the best feature! I have had heated leather seats for years now and it is awesome during the winter or for a sore back. But air conditioned?.. Sign me up! It is hot hot in Denver these days…. Alas I just got a new subaru..gonna remember this feature though! FYI I just remembered that the Porshe Cayenne has air conditioned seats… Kia is much more affordable. 🙂

Erin - Air conditioned seats. Who knew there was an automobile out there with a hiney cooler.

Susan - Air conditioned seats would be fabulous! What a clever idea! Glad you got to experience new car smell for a week, LOL!

Chris Lawlor - Air conditioned seats… Now that is cool! Pun intended!

rae - i would love to have a smart key! i’m always digging in my too full purse!

Starr Anderson - I love the idea of an air conditioned seat; especially since we’ve wilted all summer in the 90s. (I know, I know, outrage from the midwest – but for reals, I live in the mountains for a reason, I like cool summers!) 🙂

Missy Mayo - THe air conditioned seats would be AWESOME! It is steamy hot here in Dallas, and I would L-O-V-E those seats!

Allison - Air conditioned seats, totally! That would be fantastic!

Kate W. - I am loving the separated back seat…can not stand bickering kids in the car!

Molly B - wow, loved those push button fold in mirrors. that is cool!

LeAnne - Air conditioned seating. I can’t even imagine what that would feel like. I bet it’s nice!

gina - Fold in mirrors! Who knew?

jodi - Love the whole key thing! We added a keypad to our house a few years back and I LOVE not having a house key! Not having to hold a car key would be amazing!

Carey - Well, since my van has NO air conditioning at the moment, I’d have to say the air conditioned seat would be my choice!

Nicole Olsen - I love that it has air conditioned seats! WOW! That would be great in the summer heat!

Anita - If you saw my side mirrors you would know why I love the idea of push button mirrors. My husband would thank you too!

Lacey - householdhabits - I had never even heard of air conditioned seats!!!!

nicole i - push button start. for sure.

Cindy - Ummm, did you say AIR CONDITIONED seats!? wowsa!

Danielle Rub - I was surprised by the air conditioned drivers seat. That would be heaven!

Gina - I am surprised your family fit comfortably.

shannon Stout - I think the most surprising feature for me is that you were able to fit your entire family in there! It looks sooo small! That makes me soooo happy! Holy moly! I thought I needed a HUGE car for just 4 of us but apparently I missed the mark!

Gina - I am surprised your family fit comfortably.

Janet @ Ordinary Mom - Aw. I had free satellite radio for 6 months in my car when it was new. Coffehouse was my favorite too. Miss it. 🙂

Kate LS - Definitely the air-conditioned seats. That’s pretty darn fabulous.

Sky - The fact that it seats 7! It doesn’t look like it could do that. And the fold in side mirrors sound cool!

Michelle - Air conditioned drivers seat would win hands down!

Grace - I The most unexpected feature of the Sorento would be its dual temperature controls. I love the idea because it is usually so difficult to content everybody in the car! This car looks nice!!!

MegM - Love the Kia! I am on my second one because I loved the first one so much. My favorite feature is the back-up camera. I don’t know how I backed up without it before!

evelyse - the air conditioned seats! oh yes! this seems like a very fun car to drive! would LOVE to have it!~

Michelle - Air conditioned drivers seat?? That’s certainly unexpected! I’m a bit suprised that you said your family fit comfortably in it though. I looked at the Sorento a year a go (I drive the Sedona mini-van) and when my son sat in the 3rd row his head nearly touched the back window! I wish we could’ve fit our family in it cause I loooved it.
