We tried a Santa Fe 4 years ago and did not like it, the steering was over light and it felt very bouncy(almost like tyres were over inflated!) I know they have been updated since then.
Tried a Sorento (Old model) and bought it. Now on our second-lts one of the last of the old models.
We will try a new Sorento, and Santa Fe when we come to change, also considering Freelander 2, RR Evoque or a crewcab pickup-but thats in the future.
Our Sorrie is big and comfortable, has been reliable and being the Titan has all the toys. Its black with 18" wheels and sidesteps, a-bar so looks really smart.
Its also a damn fine towcar-60mph where legal at 2000 rpm, lots of torque too!
As stated earlier there are an awful lot towing caravans!
Yes it is an evil planet destroying 4x4 and we should be thoroughly ashamed of ourselves-but it was pretty useful in the winter too!
Hangs head in shame-not!!!

We have a 55 Sorento and it's not been a great success reliability wise. Just a couple of months out of warranty, with about 20,000 on the clock, the fuel injectors packed up, that was a £1000, Kia not interested in making any sort of goodwill gesture other than saying the injectors should last 80,000 miles plus - just what I wanted to hear! Then two weeks ago the differential gave up the ghost, at around 45,000 miles. Took it to local KIA dealers, who were brilliant by the way, who said if the drive shaft had gone too, it would take 95 days to get a replacement! Thankfully it didn't - touch wood, off to France for 3 weeks in the morning! - but the bill was still £1600.00!!! I wouldn't buy another one.
