I have had it for 3 years (since the new Model) and think it is so good. It is half the price of the Odyssey with all the bells and whistles!

If you are HONESTLY considering purchasing a car (even if you hadn't previously considered the Sorento) then this is a deal for you! If you're seriously just in it for the money...think about the affect you could be having on another person's life (i.e. the salesperson who loses their "up" and misses out on a chance to earn income to support their family.) I don't think $25 is worth that, personally. I understand that car dealerships are the ones that create these promotions, but I highly doubt they are compensating the employees for the time that gets spent on people just wasting their time to get 25 bucks. Just be considerate, that's all. Just my two cents. :) I totally agree.

Then in my email from Kia, I received a $75 dollar test drive for the same kind Sorento 2011. Did you get the same thing? $25 expireson 3/15 but the $75 expires on 3/31. Do you think I can get them both? Hey, I printed this off last night. Then in my email from Kia, I received a $75 dollar test drive for the same kind Sorento 2011.

I had a Spectra before my Sorento and will probably always buy Kia from now on. I am so excited about this deal. The 2011 is supposed to be pretty killer, based on what I read/saw in my monthly Kia magazine that I get. I have wanted to go look at/test drive one and now this gives me a good reason to do so. Maybe while I'm there I'll get one of the voluntary recalls done on my current Kia and kill 2 birds with one $25 stone! ha ha I drive a 2007 Kia Sorento and I love Kia cars!!!

I really think KIA wants to get people to try their cars but the lot manager can be the hardball toward the employee. I had to deal with a Free ski lift ticket in exchange for a test drive at the lot i worked at, my manager got so mad everytime that was all the customer came to do...and the management was the party that created the ad! SO DUMB! I like the idea of bringing your kids with you for the test drive...afterall, you have to see if they all fit in the vehicle!! That will cut the sales time in half for sure ! ME? I wouldn't do this deal unless KIA was actually a consideration at this time. I agree with you but unfortunately it depends on the dealership’s attitude toward these kinds of offers.

It was for test driving the new Edge. While we were driving, we rolled down the sunroof and when we tried to roll it back up, it broke. That was an easy way to get out of the pressured sales.

I liken this to coupons for a free grocery product or 'try me free" rebates. They're trying to get you in the car and, hopefully, you'll like it and buy it. Even if you're not in the market, you'll probably tell 10 people about the experience. For them, it's cheap marketing. I don’t agree with that statement.
