Q: What do you know about the new KIA BORREGO?
I’m thinking about buying one.
Edmunds have no detailed info. The vehicle is too new.

Some people ( like myself) can’t do the Sedan or smaller cars. I have 2 small children and a grandchild. Which mean lots of bags and strollers and other essentials when traveling.

A: go to edmunds.com

Q: Which is best of the 3 — mazda cx-9, kia borrego, GMC acadia? i can’t decide which to buy of the 3?

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.yoll.net

Q: is a kia borrego a good suv?
I found a 2009 kia borrego at the dealer for 18,897!! and i was wondering if Kia is a good automotive company. is the price good? and also, it is a orange color for the exterior…Here’s the thing…..our relatives are big show offs and they think they have a lot of money….and we want a suv that might make them think that we have enough money too….so wat im trying to say here is….is this suv a good show off car? my dad was asking his friends and they’re saying “no don’t buy it” but my mom thinks its a good suv because it has leather seats and it has a 3rd row seating. My brother is 11…and im 14….do u think its the best time to buy a 7 seater…cause we’re kinda old now…and i dont know if we should stop looking or not….i would really appreciate if you could answer my question.

A: No, it is a piece of crap, leather and a third row you can get on virtually every SUV. Kia is a horrible company, your relatives will laugh at you.

Q: Questions about the 2009 Kia Borrego!?!?
I’m thinking of buying the Kia Borrego, but I have questions popping in my head.

Q #1:Can I get navigation with the dvd package?

Q #2: I want and need the limited model but it only has one color interior and exterior. So is there any other level of model (EX, LX, etc.) that is the exact same but just different colors?

Q #3: Does the limited model only have leather? Why doesn’t the other models have it?

Q #4: Just fond out that I can use the EX model and add options so they have like the Limited models. Than why does Kia have the Limited model? is there any difference between the EX 4×4 and Limited 4×4 if I do full options in the EX?

Thank yoU!

A: Try this

you can get tons of colors for the limited and Hyundai owns Kia.

And other models dont have leather because it costs $ and they always make it optional because lots of people prefer cloth.

Q: Nissan pathfinder 2005 vs. Kia Borrego 2009?
I’m evaluating two cars (SUV), here’s the deal:

1- Nissan pathfinder 2005 4WD, 57000 miles, some manufacturer’s warranty left, $16,000

2- Kia Borrego 2009 V6 2WD, 6500 miles, warranty 10 years or 100,000 miles, $23,000

Which one has better value overall?

Thanks
Thanks all for your valuable feedback. Here are some facts to add:
- I live in westchester NY we get some snow during winter a year but upgrade to 4WD is possible
- The 2009 borrego car will be from the certified dealership and the full Kia warranty will apply.
- The 2005 nissan pathfinder also looks great and purchasing extended warranty is also possible.
I appreciate your opinion. Thanks

Q: Has anyone heard anything bout the new Kia Borrego SUV I want to know how much it’s going for.?

A: It won’t be available until summer ‘08. Other than pricing on the Kia website, you won’t find much until it is introduced.

Just have to wait.

Q: Did Kia only make the Borrego for 2009?
I own a 09 Borrego and i was on the Kia Motors website and the only thing they show is a 2009 and i was wondering if that was the only year they were made and if so why? Mine has 20,000 miles on it and it has been a great vehicle so far so i dont know why they would have discontinued them already unless i just havent got to the time when they start falling apart yet.

A: Yes the Borrego was only made for the 2009 model year. It was discontinued after extremely low sales numbers, it was criticized as being over priced compared to similar models, very poor reliability, moderate mpg, dated looks, and a truck like ride. While its been speculated to return as a 2011 model I find it very unlikely.

Q: wat is a better buy? a toyota highlander hybrid or a kia borrego?
Both of the cars are top of the line limited

A: most definitely toyota highlander hybrid!

Q: Hyundai Veracruz vs Kia Borrego/ Mohave?
I’m deciding on these 2 models, price wise they’re comparable but I can’t make up my mind yet. In my part of the world Hyundai throw in goodies like free laptop while KIA offers 5 yrs unlimited km warranty compared to 3yrs 75k km for Hyundai.

Help by highlighting what you think are best points If you own any of the car, any experience you might have with it would be helpful as well… Thanks

A: I’ve owned my 2007 Veracruz since December 2007 and I have to say I still couldn’t be more pleased with it.

My company allowed me to rent cars each week for about 4 months, as I had to drive about 8 hours away. After I stopped renting all sorts of vehicles, I went to look for a car to own and found the Veracruz.

With all the nice new cars and SUV’s I rented, none of them come close to how I feel when I drive this one. I still drive 8 hours away one or two weeks a month, but I take the Veracruz now, and I love being in it.

I have three kids and they all love it, too, and it’s nice that I can fit their friends in there as well.

While I don’t know anything about the KIA, I cannot find a negative thing to say about the Veracruz.

Q: Chevy Equinox or the Kia Borrego?

A: it depends if you dont want maintence and you dont have to give you car away when you want to sell it
Im a dealer, and im also a mechanic, no given kia has a 100000 mile warranty, but i have seen more kias with just a little over 100k with bad engines its a weekly occurence
i never see any chevys ever under 150k with engine problems and alot of the V8s are good for 300k with normal maintenance,
2nd Kia’s lose there value and have no resale value so at the end of 5yrs its work nothing at all where chevys hold there value

Q: 2008 toyota highlander or kia borrego???

A: highlander!
they’re more stylish, good on gas, and they have higher reliability ratings. Also, i believe its safer, and for sure, you’ll get a higher resale value on the toyota.

Q: How would I find the wires to manually lock my torque converter?
I drive an ‘09 Kia Borrego. The gas mileage is not superb and I was looking on ecomodder at ways to improve it. One modification that was said to greatly improve mileage was to find the wire that signals the torque converter to lock and connect it to a switch so the converter could be manually locked at a lower speed, which would improve gas mileage. Where are said wires?

A: Well you would need to remember to turn the switch off as you slowed down, came to a stop. Then turn it back on.

And you hot wire it and your more then likely will set a check engine lamp.
And as an 09, it’s probably still under warranty, do this and your warranty on the trans and such goes out the window.

Q: How does this lemon law work in PA?
In October 2010 I bought a brand new 2009 Kia Borrego left over. I have had the car 4 months. It has 8000 miles on it. Yes only 8000. Its been to the garage 2 times this month and they just called and told me that they have to replace the transmission. OK How do I know if its still gonna be safe to drive afterwards? I use my car for work, I am a home health aide. Any suggestions on what I should do?

A: So long as they repair it then it would not qualify for the lemon law, under the state lemon law the dealer can make 4 attempts to correct the problem and if they cannot or do not then they must refund your purchase price. Replacing the Transmission does not lessen the safety of the vehicle, reliability possibly but it should enhance the reliability, if the vehicle is still under warranty then you should be entitled to either a loan vehicle or reimbursement for a rental.}{

Q: Have anyone else had transmission problems with a 2009 Kia vehicle?
Ok bought a brand new 2009 leftover in Oct. 2010. In Feb 2011 took it back 2 times cause the SUV would shift on its own while I was driving. They said that it needs a new transmission. The SUV has 8000 miles on it. They have had the thing for almost a month now and the transmission is still on backorder. It is a Kia Borrego. Just wandered if anyone else had problems with a 2009 Kia. They gave me a 2009 Sedona to drive until I get mine back and the transmission is slipping in that one too.

A: I guess the Koreans can’t build transmissions, next time buy American, Ford or Chevy..
