Road Trip Review: 2016 Kia Sorento on Everyman Driver

[@eganfo]

Love the road trip video Dave. It's a refreshing take on the vehicle. We get to see the navigation system, your MPG, demo some tech, and hear your impressions. Please do more of them and have fun at Mudfest.

[@robbie8704]

Awesome road trip. I own a 2017 Kia Sorento SXL Thanks for your input. I bought it 10/2021 after watching your video of a child picnic bench in the back of the Sorento. 👍🏾👍🏾

Love the road trip videos, thanks.Keep up the great work.

[@Jmanmadness23]

Dave, this style of review is awesome. This is how a car like this will be used, so its nice to get this perspective. And the state of Washington is beautiful. Please do more like this, especially for family vehicles.

[@megaming7238]

Hey Dave! Love this style of video. Lots of fun. Please do more. Thanks!

[@dugarry500]

Please keep these types of video up. The longer drive of a vehicle, and in different city, highway drives, would likely yield a better perspective. You are doing great work Dave!

[@litboisoftheyellowkeyboard2172]

Good Video. I have owned this vehicle since April 1 2015. It now has 43,000 kms (Canada). No issues other than the sun roof labors to close sometimes. Truck has thule areo bars, towing package, tinted front windows, front & rear dash camera's, snow tires and rims. I've pulled an 18ft searay boat and a small enclosed utility trailer. I love this suv.

[@markrangel6860]

Love the roadtrips man. I appreciate what you do and I just purchased a used 2017 Kia Sorento with 25,000 miles and so far we love it. Thank you Everyman Driver.

[@rockintrae63]

Your videos are great, probably my favorites. Would like to hear recap of cabin noise, comfort, overall general handling of the vehicle while on the long drive. Keep up the great work!

[@mylesrobinson1695]

YES!!! You should keep doing these types of videos. They give such a good idea about long distant travels, and the pros about the cars!

[@AngelaSchmidtcharismakitty]

More road trip videos, please. Really enjoy watching your reviews. I also like the extra personal bits you throw in like getting starbucks and your weight loss, etc. It's fun! Just purchased a 2017 Kia Sorento LX V6 FWD. I feel in love with it instantly. Looking forward to years of fun with it.

[@Nitrium]

You should totally do more of these videos. They're so much better than the regular stuff that most youtubers do. One of the reasons is that you're getting better impressions from a car on a long trip, and will probably be able to spot some issues that otherwise would be overlooked. A suggestion would be to go even deeper on the overall comfort level, tech features, and pros and cons when driving long distances. In a nutshell, a bit more in-depth instead of focusing just on the fuel consumption. Otherwise, awesome job!

[@mantovani3]

I asked about this style of video a couple of months ago, and I'm glad to say you nailed it. This style of video really answers a lot of questions on the driver's experience. Great job Dave 👏🏿👏🏿. The Kia Sorento looks amazing.

[@PtJudeRI]

Loving the blog style. been shopping for a new SUV and you're my first stop for reviews. thanks so much!!

[@kinetics14]

Keep doing these road trips! Its very helpful, especially when you explain/show all the technology in the car and real world gas milage.

[@sonnyquirimit311]

Love what you did with this Road Trip.. I got the 2016 Sorento EX+ last week of Janaury 2016 until now I haven't yet try to drive for long distance in the highway. This video showcase the feature and fuel consumption which is great. Love it

[@brianbfree2328]

I like this real world travel style of reviews. Keep em coming!

[@chasekanitz72]

Really like the road trip videos

[@ginettegagne5918]

Just love this style of video road trip! More, more, more!!! I have serious health issues and I LOVE cars! You made me travel a little bit with you! Tomorrow I will get my 2016 Kia Soul SX Luxury! The Exclaim trim here in Canada with the whole shebang!!!!

[@kinetics14]

Keep doing these road trip videos! Its very helpful, especially when you explain/show all the technology in the car and show real world gas milage. Thanks!

[@garygomez4297]

nice video dave..thats what we folks here in saudi arabia want to watch ..road trips from point a to b , gas millage and vehicle durability..we hope to see more videos like this on everyman driver..hey more power!!!!

[@everymandriver]

+gary gomez Welcome from Saudi Arabia... I appreciate the feedback.

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

Love this style of video!!!

[@glassacre]

Definitely love the road trip videos! Keep 'em coming! I'm also a big Washington state fan...visited there a few times already. Just gorgeously scenic.

[@mikew9879]

Dave, it is great to have a real world experience with these reviews. If I needed 0-60mph stats, g force or cam shaft details I can get that from each and every 'professional auto journalist' provider. But instead I prefer to know how a car performs in everyday conditions, traffic, usability and some occasional unpaved yee-ha - there is only one source. EveryManDriver.

[@slombardi5374]

Really enjoy these real world road trip videos, and love your channel!

[@kaisertuumalo6850]

I like this style, it gives more insight the MPG, feel ect. Keep this going Dave.

[@everymandriver]

+Kaiser Tuumalo I appreciate it, thank you!

[@Lemontree8383]

I loveeee this style of videos. This is my 1st time watching your road trip videos. I love it. Very nice Kia. I'm in the market of purchasing my 1st suv and didn't give Kia a thought but this video made me rethink my decisions

[@bradmanmisera2689]

This one of your best videos so far. Showing us the MPG as you go along was fantastic. Just wondering from your camera view do the rear head rest block your view out the back of the vehicle at all. All in all an awesome road trip.

[@Belgoboy]

Congrats on the weight loss. Didn't think you has any to lose but I did notice you were thinner. Glad to know it was wanted and not anything for us to worry about.

[@Ricky_kim3]

Nice vid Dave! Would love to see more of these types of videos. Keep up the great work!

[@mcampbell4914]

I like this commentary on the Sorento as it reflects what to expect under real driving conditions. It also helps my decision making process as I am still uncertain how good the Kia brand is when compared to the big two, i.e. Honda and Toyota.

[@NaturalCash1994]

These are great and are very useful to us wanting to know real driving highway and city gas mileage. Because we all know their estimated miles per gallon are usually far fetched thanks Dave!

[@danishhasan888]

Love this style of video review! Although your snow and mud test drives were also great.

[@everymandriver]

+Danish Hasan Thank you!

[@shopwithaaron]

Need a road trip sooo bad....Love to watch when I can't...:(

[@stanleypowell2603]

Dave, I love this style of video blogging. Sorry it took me so long; I had meant to say that the first day you posted this video. Please keep up the good work.

[@davidgallop654]

I drive an uk version Sorento 2.2 4cylinder manual 197 bhp returning 38 miles to the gallon @70 mph, great car to own

[@2pmonkey]

Consider this another vote in favor of the road trip format. Well done!

[@molfetas2007]

Great video Dave, love to see some more like this. Keep up the good work !!!

[@bosse641]

Road trips are the best. ...filled with info on the vehicle. ...more enjoyable to watch this.

[@stephanieteacher3454]

Thanks for road trip. I am trying to choose between Sorento and Equinox. I currently have a 2006 equinox this video was good help.

[@ChrisLentz]

How was the comfort level with the seat after being in it for so long?

[@stevewise1656]

This is my favorite of your videos, because it's real world circumstances.

[@gilbertosuna3261]

Love your Videos DAVE. VERY informative and Entertaining. Please DO let the Dealerships know how much we ENJOY THEM.

[@kentjohnson7141]

I like this kind of view, highlights of a real life road trip. By the way, I routinely get 27.5 mpg on the highway with my 2016 Sorento Lx fwd with 4 cylinder turbo. Love it.

[@renanbarbosa8896]

omg Dave that was a awesome video! keep posting this amazing job

[@Ken52182]

I definitely liked this video. I have been trying to decide what type of SUV to buy and have enjoyed all of your videos. However, I definitely like the format of this video with impressions about fuel economy, safety features, etc. It would have been cool to see more thoughts on the general comfort and drive-ability in this video. I know you have done them in other videos though. Also, at one point you were about 1.5 miles from my house lol!

[@455LT1]

Keep up the good work. I have this same exact car- we love it.

[@Obercincy]

Loved the video Dave, it would be great to seem more of these.

[@javierjoaquinbordastrigo8710]

I liked it, keep doing videos like this one Dave. Greetings from Argentina

[@Jecroydjr]

Great video! This video gives people a personal touch! Keep up the good work!

[@morg4620]

Love the road trip video. Was stationed in Washington back in my army days.

[@IAmAPhan]

This style of video is very informative and certainly worth coming back to.

[@kevlee009]

definitely do another road trip again. why? because unlike other reviewers, they talk about mpg based off on the paper but your review is actually the real thing. you put it to the test and its what make your review unique from other. probably go over the car more (idk if you did that on your other video) but great video amd sexy looking sorento

[@rolojosia72]

Washington looks almost as wet as Scotland, didn't think that was possible. All the best Dave, keep up the good work.

[@carluvrsd9374]

+rolojosia72 It's usually cloudy from Snoqualmie Pass to the Pacific Ocean. The cascade mountains average about 4000 feet elevation so they hold in the clouds. Western washington gets about 40 inches annually while eastern washington gets about 18. Weather patterns in the western US are very complex because of altitude changes, mountain ranges and proximity to the vast, cool, Pacific Ocean. Between Spokane and the Columbia River he went through a treeless desert, but Spokane has Sparse Ponderosa Pine forests and you start to get back into that by Elensburgh. Washington is a very beautiful state but the progressive leadership in Western Washington has been anti road since the late 60s, causing traffic to crawl at most times of the day. Freeway speeds rarely top 50 in the Seattle area. I've lived all over the western US and do a lot of driving back and forth. I've seen it all. I find the weather patterns (including air pollution movement patterns) fascinating.

[@rolojosia72]

+CarLuvrSD Can tell from the video that Washington is a very beautiful state, very reminiscent of Highland Scotland in many respects.

[@styner3]

Great video. I'm trying to decide which vehicle to buy mainly for road trips with my wife as we are both retired. The KIA was number two on my list behind the Pilot, but after watching this video the KIA is my first choice.

[@email4dinah]

Hi Dave, I really like your videos and enjoy this road trip version -- it's nice to get a glimpse of the west coast especially since I've only driven there once and I'm from the east coast. I came across your videos because I looking purchase a new car and test drove the Toyota Rav4 hybrid today and decided to check out some reviews on KZbin. I came across your Rav4 video and enjoyed your commentary and video styling, it's fun and entertaining and the editing is great. I liked it so much and appreciate your viewpoint that I ended up watching a bunch of your other video which totally distracted me from my research but I had fun. You are engaging, speak clearly and I can tell you are enjoying yourself. Thanks for doing this. I would love if you could compare small suvs. I'm planning on test driving Subaru Forrester tomorrow and then maybe Hyundai Tucson sport and maybe Mazda CX5.

[@anmaraljanabi7137]

Thanks for sharing, and yes please do keep such videos up over the Internet, greetings.

[@dontbotherreading]

keep doing these types of videos

[@angeloreyes7122]

Nice video Dave, thanks!!! More of these please!

[@whokidvega]

seeing that you did a road trip helps alot cuz thats why I was looking at this kia

[@marcjuliusrivera4947]

Hello sir! I'm from the Philippines. And I love watching your car reviews and now this one. I hope you can do another one with more details not just not with the car but how well are those food that your wife made for you. A more real VLOG. Thanks! And keep it up! :)

[@nanakwaku]

Absolutely enjoyed watching this - touched on practical usage of the instruments instead of just talking through them

[@everymandriver]

Glad I could help.

[@dariusplummer9529]

Love the road trips man! Keep it up!

[@johnr2632]

Excellent video - thinking of buying a Sorento. What is the interior cabin noise like?

[@michaelmorris7190]

I like the road trip videos. Shows true mpg. Talk about the ride as well.

[@didiattoz]

i like it a lot Dave!!! you gotta do more with another cars of course, i really wanna live your life 😂 i enjoyed the video and expecting to see more!!

[@thaiquinn]

Great video, helps understand how my Sorrento is doing against its peers. Also love the explanations of the features.

[@GMond]

Enjoyed the road trip video and the real driving reviews. Please do more when you can.

[@eric-uc7bf]

Great road trip Dave. Keep it up !

[@bo7806]

Hey I'm just saying what everyone else is love the road trip setting and great video

[@jtothada06]

I definitely would like to see more road trips! but could you talk about luggage space, seat comfortable, anything the annoyed you, road noise on longer trips

[@kylepruett3811]

Great video! Enjoy seeing vehicles in a road trip setting.

[@everymandriver]

+Kyle Pruett Thank you... I hope to do more in the future.

[@LeTheyCallMe]

love your videos, keep it up

[@everymandriver]

+LeTheyCallMe Thank you, I will.

[@michaelsilver2577]

Great video, I like to see how these vehicles preform on the highway also mpg and comfort level on long distances. Thank you.

[@TeamEvan00]

I like the style quite a bit. To maximize the part of MPG updating, just need a bit more description: hilly? flat? traffic? leadfoot? cruise? You did show how cruise worked and did indicate you drove in "normal" NOT eco or sport. Though, would love to know the numbers for same trip in sport. Overall, I like the style of video, just need more info so I can compare how you drive and how I drive to best understand the MPG analysis you offer.

[@igot9121]

Keep this style of vlogging. It's nice to see the features in action and how the vehicle drives

[@Baph0met666]

Question I have two Sorentos in mind never owned any KIA vehicles so don't know much. I saw online a 2014 Sorento SX L with 45k and a 2016 SX L with about the same miles but the 2014 has a V6 the 2016 an inline Twin turbo 4 cylinder. Can you notice the difference between the two engines or is it about the same?

[@yck1126]

Love the road trip video! Keep it up!

[@leebeato1753]

Love it. Not boring, do some more!

[@joshm9214]

I liked the real world review. Just tell us more about driving impressions like comfort, noise, and ease of the technology on long trips

[@JoelDino]

Dave we like the Santa Fe and Sorrento. Which one do you like better?

[@ramoncarter6585]

I am very proud of Kia hope the reliability continues be better than averaged. Sorento is a very nice SUV gets exc gas mileage and everything well equipped for great resale value.

[@Statimtek]

Keep up the road trip videos Dave.

[@gabe0721]

I really like these style of videos, very entertaining

[@jameszond8805]

I think the road trip ideal was cool but you should also discuss the wet and dry handling characteristics of the Vehicle

[@Lee62bt]

Dave, I liked this style too. Question for you-it didn't seem like the engine/road noise for the Sorento was that bad on your video. Would you agree?

[@jwchoi721]

This is the best style because it's different than every other car reviews.

[@jaimeoliver9122]

I am loving this video. I would love to see this with a sedan such as the 2016 Hyundai sonata limited , 2017 hyundai elantra or the nissan altima. Something more everyday-ish.

[@mllozada]

Great video, is v6 o 2.0 ?

[@dijon9000]

Great reveiw camera quality keep up the good job.

[@everymandriver]

Much appreciated!

[@1751Kate]

Great video I appreciate the details. I would have liked more info on the interior size of the vehicle such as 3rd seat option? Im looking at this for a rental car in Costa Rica but needed to make sure there will be room for all of us and the luggage. Keep it up!

[@ohcanadaeh]

Road trip is a good format for car review. In particular for vehicle that is built for road trip... keep it up.

[@CarlosRivera-in3gm]

Yes I like the road trip but talk more about the car not just about the gas mileage but how the car feel and is it worth to buy. Keep up the good job I do like your videos

[@jonsch8275]

Great video Dave!

[@Wire-Free]

I did like this style of road trip vlogging; hopefully you had a fun test drive an mudding @ the event

[@sgiggly86]

Definitely love the Roadtrip videos

[@sahsah2719]

Seems like there is a large amount of road and/or wind noise. Were the windows down a bit?

[@Fishzaft1]

OMG.... love this, makes me wanna watch more..... keep ot up @everymandriver

[@Fishzaft1]

*it

[@flstbe]

Nice, keep doing this type of car reviews!

[@runman1271]

Your videos are great. I am looking for a new and your videos help a lot
