I gave a 2012 KIA SORENTO, 2.4L GDI engine. It has high oil consumption ( 1 quart oil for every 250 miles), and lost compression in #4 cylinder, high carbon residue in valves, and it can't be driven! Good bodies but BAD engines. I thought Kia was better than this but apparently not. Kia is unreliable and undependable!
