I really wanted to get a 2011 but the price is killing me! We want 4WD because we will hopefully be moving back to CT next Janauary. I also wanted the 6cyl. because the 2011s have a third row. I found a 2008 for $10,000 less and has 4WD and a 4cyl. I would loose the 3rd row but I don't think it is a huge deal. The problem I am having is it did poorly in the side impact testing for the driver white the rear passengers did very well.
http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=901 according to IIHS, yet or some reason, here it did well:

I am going to assume the test results that say poor are accurate but I am not sure
It do do pretty well in all other crash testing:

Would this discourage you? I want another vehicle that suits our needs and I really think this will but not if it is a death trap. the reason I am asking is b/c prior to this purchase, I have never looked up crash tests ratings. I just looked up the 3 we do own and they all did poor overall
So I guess I am wonedring if you think that P for the driver in side impacts should make it a definate no - aslo, the 2011s do not seem to have ratings yet so I would be take a chance with that year also. Does anyone have a sorento? Do you love it? Hate it?
