2009 Kia Borrego User Reviews

Pros

Nice firm ride, comfortable, nicely appointed, good looks, tows great!!!

Cons

Could use a little more drivers side leg room.

Purchased As New

I looked at Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot...the Borrego out performed them, and for $5,000 less. I paid the same amount for this Borrego as I did for my Dodge Durango ten years ago!!! And it has much more stuff, including touch screen navigation, Sirius radio, and all the bells and whistles!!!...read morehide

Pros

great value for money watch toyota, honda,nissan etc, kia will overtake you in the near future.

Purchased As New

no complaints. Like everything about it but does ride more like a truck. Excellent safety features. I am trying to locate a brush guard that will fit without modifications. Since vehicle is so new to market one is not specifically made for Borrego. If anyone has located one please reply.

Thanks

Pros

Quality & Features

Cons

Dealers not familiar with vehicle

Purchased As New

Bought in May and can't find anything negitive. It is clearly a joy to drive. The overall quality is much superior to the other vehicles in its' class and the price is a pleasing surprise. We are very satisfied.

Pros

good on gas, comfy, handles great!!

Purchased As New

I LOVE my Borrego! I bought it new after my Kia Sedona was totaled in an accident. I would not trade it for the world. Enough room for my 4 kids! Huge plus here! Great handling in traffic as well as in the mountain roads. Nice ride on highway trips ( we do these a LOT!)

Pros

Good fuel economy although the engine size is big

Purchased As New

It's awesome.

When I drove this vehicle, it was comfortable.

After testing driving, I decided to purchase this car.

Of course, it's unbelievable that this vehicle is made by Kia.

Pros

Good fuel economy

Cons

When I started with my car on the signal, I could feel a little heavy.

Purchased As New

Very Nice!
Ride is comfortable and silent.
The horse power is very good and the fuel economy is very good even though the engine size is bigger than pilot, even similar to RV4 and lexus GX 47. Especially, I could feel beyond its ability when I tested driving my friend's pilot.

Anyway, I think that if this car's company has a brand power with the Borrego, I hope this car will be a popular suv in U.S.A....read morehide

Superb!!! Since I bought mine last December 2008, I always enjoy the comfort of Borrego (Mohave here in Middle East).

Purchased As New

After researching this SUV was the best value. The car handles great and the ride is very smooth. No complaints at all.

Pros

Warranty, Roomy, Plenty of Power, Solid Feel, Size, Options, Styling, Safety

Cons

Ride Could be a Smudge better, A tad noisy under acceleration

Purchased As New

I really have enjoyed this vehicle's total package after really viewing alot the vehicles in its class. For one the Borrego really didnt feel as big as it looks which really is a plus for me, nobody likes driving a bus. The Borrego has a good amount of options interior and exterior to choose for your budget, but i suggest to go about midrange. The safety features are well tailored to the vehicle from canopy airbags to side curtains among numerous others. The turning radius is also something that has been very pleasing with a vehicle this large with rear wheels turning, make tight turns a breeze.i.e. Parking. The interior of the vehicle is anything but an escalade or Denali but has very clean and precise lines which really accent the Borrego well. On the first day of taking the Borrego home we had a very bad thunderstorm(Florida), The Borrego showed how well it handled in a very rain drenched road. One word: solid. The Borrego really felt responsive and comfortable on the road. As for the ride the Borrego is about on par with the Envoy to me. Very Good ride but not with that floating feeling. I suppose thats why it feels responsive, giving you that tuned suspension feel. I will say under heavy accelration(Pedal to the Floor) the roar of the engine can be heard in the interior compartment but it still isnt overbearing. At least nothing on the radio couldnt drowned out if needed. Overall the Borrego has been a Excellent Car for its Class, Money, Warranty, Options, Safety, and Comfort. I call it a winner.
(Still Plenty More to Write: Go do what we did and Give it a Test Drive, You will Like it)...read morehide

Pros

Strong Engine, quiet, comfortable, solid build, reliable, alot of passenger room even in third row

Cons

becuase it is built solid a little bumpy over large bumps

Purchased As New

I have been really pleased with this vehicle and it has exceeded my expectations, I have now put around 6,000 miles without any promblems at all. The engine is very quiet but also very poweful, most of the accelaration happens after you reach 25 mph, but very easy to pass other cars on the freeway. Goes up hills very easily. The overall ride is smooth, although you will feel the larger bumps a little more than you would in a car. It is built very solid and the handling is incredible, turning is actually fun and not scary in this SUV. It has a really tight turning radius. The drivers seat is comfortable on long trips with side "wings" to support you in the seat. Adults fit easily in the third row, although it is not very easy for an adult to get in the back though. A very good value overall. I have owned three other SUVs in the past and this is by far my favorite....read morehide
