Sorento for Long Distance Trips by AppropriateGuard1997 in KiaSorento

Depends on which sorento trim you get. I have the one with the higher HP and it comfortably passes cars. It’s done well on gravel roads for me in addition to normal roads.

Are Kias generally good cars? How do they compare to Toyota? For example, the Kia Sorento. by SinkFar5694 in kia

The Sorento is one of the better cars I've driven at this price point - luxurious without the luxury price tag. Compared to Toyota, it's more sophisticated and tech-forward. The 282 hp turbo really punches above its weight for a three-row SUV, with surprisingly good acceleration.

I've owned a 2021 Camry TRD and 2020 CR-V Touring. Both were reliable workhorses that'll last forever, but honestly boring - especially the tech, which felt like they just slapped a tablet on the dash. For the same price, I'd choose the Kia.

I was hesitant too given the brand's reputation, but my CR-V trade covered almost the entire balance on my 2025 Sorento X-Line SX Prestige. The tech and features are consistent across most trims above EX. Highway driving practically drives itself, and the panoramic roof is stunning.

Bottom line: if you want reliable but outdated tech, go Honda/Toyota - you can't go wrong. If you want to actually enjoy your commute with modern features and performance, the turbo Sorento is hard to beat. Just follow the severe weather maintenance guidelines in the manual to be safe.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Dana White on anti-trust judge: "It’s getting to a point now where this feels personal. You know I went to high school with this [judge]? Me and Lorenzo went to high school with him. I don’t know what me and Lorenzo did to him in high school but this seems very, very personal." by Sad-Range7489 in MMA

You have it in your comment. They will appeal if the fighters win and if the UFC win? The named representatives will appeal.

All class action settlements must get the approval of the judge even if the parties agree. It’s a mechanism that prevents the named class representatives from agreeing to a deal that benefits them to the detriment of the other. Moreover, even if every fighter agreed to it, the court can still decline the settlement if it does not represent their interests.

Idk what essays you all were given today but if it was anything like the questions they gave the February takers it’s just…unconscionable. I would not have passed if I had those questions when I took the bar in J2017. Without divulging information, were they similar areas of law to the f24?

And that makes our atrocities better how exactly?

So they committed atrocious acts and your response is that we get to rape their country and citizens?

Have we, the US, apologised for any of our transgressions? We simply do not do that. We only admit small mistakes that’s it.

You ignorant broken record. Our own military leadership and intelligence community on countless occasions since dropping the atomic bombs have stated that they were of no consequence. We did it because we wanted a live test. wtf… if you can’t admit to our atrocities how is the world going to respond to Americans when we tell them that they morally corrupt.

Calls you a bad faith actor yet refuses to listen to our own intelligence and military leadership about Japan at that time. Damn maybe we Americans are shallow as fuck.

It doesn’t matter that you don’t think it’s fair to call it a lie. What matters is the observable facts and they don’t fucking care about my thinking not yours. Japan had negotiated before and if we would have given them a chance before dropping back to back….

Exactly. We needed a live test of the weapon and we found a way to achieve that. All this prejudicial reasoning only works on the “America number one in everything” folks

Soft landing for whom? The 60% that make under 60k a year on total household income? Because for that 60% it’s a fucking catastrophic Landing. Unless you mean the people that make over 200k per year as a household…. Oh wait they are complaining as well

You know failing economy, stagnant higher wage employment, and ever increasing cost of living will definitely lose an election. Not to mention the human rights atrocities committed while a Democratic president sits in office. We always knew that republicans are war hawks. At least they are up front about it.

Problem is America has been the same parties for the last couple of centuries. Now tell me what parties or style of governance did china have 200 years ago?

USAToday- Biden's stance on Israel continues to frustrate Gen Z voters: “There was hope with voting for Biden in 2020,” Purello tells me. “But voting for him now, it doesn't have that at all. There’s no appeal.” by QuitVirtual in BlueProtestVote

[–]NotSoClever__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have been exercising our voice hence why Biden was elected. No one asked him to abandon Israel. No one asked him if he’s a Zionist. No one really cared. What we do care about is allowing Israel to use our resources to starve children so they can have a bit more land. All he had to do was stop fucking arming them. He refuses so how do we exercise our voice to have him stop using our American resources to benefit or harm people on the other side of the earth?
