Kia’s Sorento GT Line was a nominee in the recent OzRoamer COTY awards and has been a previous multiple winner. The range topping model from $59,000 MLP represents outstanding value and is an excellent family AWD SUV.
The upgrade in 2108 saw more safety and comfort features added as well as extra internal space, which benefits the middle and rear passengers.
There are a couple of features I particularly liked, such as the ventilated front seats, that are very comfortable for longer drives, the flexibility of the rear seats for passengers and luggage, and the clarity of the Harmon/Kardon sound system.
Powered by a smooth 2.2l diesel engine matched to an 8 speed transmission and with an effective AWD system, THE Sorento provides quiet and comfortable ride and handling.
Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
