Wanted Sorento/ Rexton comparison

Terry Birch 9 December 2005 15:04:05
 We are contemplating buying one of the above on June 1st, when I present 4x4
is three years old.
It will definitely be diesel and have automatic transmission, if it's the
Rexton it will be either the 270 or 290,
It will not do any off road work except on caravan sites and similar, towing
a caravan, which weighs in around 24cwt when fully loaded, at the same time
the car would have 4 passengers and their kit for two to three weeks. We
usually go over to Ireland touring for around 4 weeks every summer so there
are times when it will do some serious hill climbing.
Can any please point me to any road tests on the above especially a
comparison, or if you have experience of either, we would be only to pleased
to hear your views .

Id guess after those reviews then its the Kia?

I have recently bought a second hand x-trail (no im not gonna convince you
to get one) but at the time thought about the sorento. Decided that it was
too new out and too big an engine for my needs but I think once more
established I may go down that road. I have seen several bad stories about
the Rexton been terrible on-road above 40mph and seems to have the same
steering mechanism as the QEII.

I can't see why, the Rexton is a fairly decent vehicle. A lot of them
are finding their way into service as police cars, the Kia won't be
filling that market becuase it's not tough enough for the job.

It's a 4x4 for fucks sake.

TBH the only thing that puts me off the Rexton is that the Nissan
Pathfinder is larger and better in all respects.

The guys who authorise what cars the police can use obviously didnt do many
road tests then. (nor have I addmitadly) You would of thought that the
reports in the press/honestjohn would be convincing enough.

I have to say that I love the look of the rexton, take the badge away and
you would be sure to think its some big expensive yank thing. I just read
the reviews and didnt like the way it described the on-road handling.

Now, we do agree there!! I was in a nissan dealer last week getting some
accesories for the x-trail and had a wee look at the Pathfinder. Now that is
a nice car! I thought it was gonna be the same 2.5 unit from the navarra but
it seems not as its 160(ish) bhp rather than the navarra's 133bhp.

 Having just gone through a similar excercise and lots of honest research and talking to people, I purchased the new Rexton 270 Xdi.
Having friends with older models, I can honestly say the drive on road and off road is impressive, the build quality is improved 10fold and is a pleasure to use on a daily basis (stands out when doikng the occasional off road game park drives and Dune bashing when getting the jet-ski onto remote beaches.
Does not have the image of Jeep/BMWs but you quickly discover this is changing.
It doese miss some small feature refinements (integrated key, passanger electric seat, onboard computer)
