Is the Sorento's DCT transmission all it's cracked up to be or is it more headache than it's worth?
Kia Sorento dual-clutch transmission (DCT) models have been a hot topic for owners and car enthusiasts. The company claims it's a performance upgrade, with promises of faster shifts and better fuel economy than conventional automatics. However, some drivers are having problems with jerky low speed operation, hesitation and even complete failures. Supporters say the DCT delivers a more exciting drive and that there are many problems because drivers haven't learned to work with its peculiarities. The technology is flawed by its very nature to be used in a family SUV, critics say. Often, the debate is about whether the performance benefits of this type of transmission outweigh the risks and the learning curve involved.
I love the DCT in my Sorento. Once you get used to it, the shifts are lightning fast, it really wakes the engine up. All you need to do is change your driving style a little.
