Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. Wow, that's a heck of a thing with the Sorento... I wonder if it was even repaired sufficiently enough to sell... Either way, you're in a Telluride now. How are you liking it compared to the Sorento? And what did these vehicles replace for you?

I had the 2024 Sorento SX xline prestige. Great but I just got lied to. By the management. Not the sales guy. Anyway in a new 25 telluride and it’s a different car for sure. Not as quick but more refined, better ride. Not slow at all either though. I gave up a few bells and whistles but not sure I give a crap with the improvement to ride quality. Now that is possibly due to a tire with a little more sidewall but just seems to be an overall more “substantial” vehicle. I’m also on the stout side (half fat, half fit) and this is a larger drivers cabin without my legs touching anything. Overall pleased with this trim level I think. Just need to see if I can get it blacked out somewhere.
And my previous vehicle I still drive is a 2017 Sorento with 200k miles on it. I will drive it until it blows up to keep miles off my new car.

Yes, the Sorento SX X-Line Prestige is fully loaded. Nice vehicle, for sure, but you're right - the Telluride definitely feels more substantial. I don't think the Sorento was made to compete with the best from other brands - the Telluride was. Glad to see you're enjoying it - and that your 2017 is still doing well. Definitely nice to have something to help keep the miles off the flagship...
