This thing's creeping up into the 6 range for value. It's handsome and absolutely confident in delivering what it's engineers intended. You could argue that their intentions are misguided, but there seems to be strong logic behind it, rather than the directionless, clue-free course taken by, say, GM or Mitsubishi.

If you must have an off-road capable midsize SUV, Sorento is an excellent choice for those on a budget. Quality seems excellent, warranty is great, and the price is right.
