September 1st, 2014 09:54 AM #1851Will need to ride in another Sorento LX to compare ride characteristics with.
And yes, I concur with sir yebo's observation that it's damn noisy in the cabin. The Montero isn't this noisy.

September 1st, 2014 09:59 AM #1852Well, to each his own. Unfortunately for my family, it's wallowy. And no one can tell us otherwise.
Glad that yours isn't.

^ didn't you test drive before buying? Online reviews are great but the things you're complaining about can easily be noticed during a test drive. It could have saved you from your buyer's remorse.
I test drove the 2014 LX when I was choosing between this and the Sportage and I also noticed the engine noise inside the cabin but I wouldn't say the Sorento's engine is noisier than a Montero's. I sometimes mistake our neighbor's Montero for an Izuzu but the Sorento is much quieter from the outside. Better have yours checked.
As for the suspension, it's not tuned to be as stiff as a ladder-on-frame SUV but rather it's tuned for comfort. Again, a test drive should have told you this and not online reviews.

if your family is sensitive to body roll, you should've have test driven before buying. Maybe their family is used to riding luxury vehicles.

September 1st, 2014 11:05 AM #1855His complaint is interesting kasi it appears magkaiba ang suspension settings ng harap (malambot) at likod (matagtag). So liquid shocks sa harap and gas shocks sa likod ang nilagay ng Kia? Our office has a 2012 Fortuner, a 2012 Hilux and a 2013 Montero and all of them roll like a boat when taking the U-turn at PHILCOA.

Bro which dealer did you get your unit. Might have to check again how noisy the engine is on the Sorento before we get one.

September 2nd, 2014 12:45 PM #1859don't have time yet to go back to the dealership and besides, i don't know anyone who has one.
my suggestion to you, go and test drive one before you buy (and not do what i did). you might not be as sensitive as my family and i. as the saying goes, different strokes for different folks. we all have our own tolerances, preferences, experiences, etc. the reason i've posted is not to give the sorento LX a bad rep but to look for people who are the same as me and find out what solutions they've come up with, if any.
yebo suggested to look into sound deadening. anyone tried it? i've tried it on the doors before but not on the wall between the engine and the cabin.
