2012 Kia Sorrento - new engine question
A friend of mine is looking into Kia Sorrento and whether the new GDI engine will be worth the wait and premium. Now Kia wouldn't be my personal choice, but just for the sake of the arguement if the new one is significantly better than the old one.
Cheers~

No. Nothing is better than anything in Kia, Kia engines are made of plastic.

GDI ftw
I do see it being more expensive to fix in 5 years when the warranty is up, but at least with a hyundai motor it will be reliable for a while
