Correction - I previously mentioned the 2008 disc release being the one with the horrible yellow/brown color timing when I meant the 2014 L'Immagine Ritrovata restoration disc. Those mentions have now been corrected. Apologies for the confusion. My dislike of the 2008 disc is due to the extended cut and the terrible over-processed surround mix on top of the dated DVD era master.

Wasted food has far-reaching effects, both nationally and globally. In the U.S., up to 40% of all food produced goes uneaten [2], and about 95% of discarded food ends up in landfills [3]. It is the largest component of municipal solid waste at 21%. [1] In 2014, more than 38 million tons of food waste was generated, with only 5% diverted from landfills and incinerators for composting. [3] Decomposing food waste produces methane, a strong greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Worldwide, one-third of food produced is thrown away uneaten, causing an increased burden on the environment. [4] It is estimated that reducing food waste by 15% could feed more than 25 million Americans every year. [5]

Common problems found on the 2014 Kia Sorento include engine failures, peeling paint, and broken door locks. Overall, these problems are more severe than other used SUVs from 2014, and repair costs are higher than average as well.

There are 5 recalls which are more severe than other SUVs from 2014. The most serious recall covers the engine bearings which can cause the motor to fail. Kia will replace engines on affected models for free. Other serious recalls include the right axle failing, and a fuel line which can leak, causing a fire.

A well-maintained 2014 Kia Sorento will last around 120,000 miles, which is nearly 200,000 miles less than the top-rated Toyota Highlander. Regular annual maintenance costs are more expensive than average, according to data from Repair Pal, at $521 per year.

Since nearly all used 2014 Sorento models will have around 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the oil pump for $1,700, the radiator costing $1,100, and the power steering pump, which costs $560.

The entertainment technology is good in the 2014 Sorento with a new, larger touchscreen stereo system available, along with standard Bluetooth connectivity. Safety technology is also good with a standard rearview camera on the EX and SX models. Blind spot monitoring is also standard on the SX.

No, the 2014 Kia Sorento is not a good value since so many repairs are expensive. Blue book prices range from $14,116 to $15,541, making it cheaper than a Honda Pilot or Jeep Grand Cherokee. When new, the price range was $24,100 to $40,100. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 15% of its current value per year.

The 2014 Kia Sorento is a comfortable SUV with seating for up to 7 passengers. The seats are supportive and interior materials are more luxurious than a lot of other midsize SUVs available in the same price range.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is another midsize SUV available in the same price range. Both the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento are built on the same platform, but the Hyundai Santa Fe offers a more upscale interior. We recommend avoiding both the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento for 2014 since they suffer from the same engine failures.

Common problems found on the 2014 Chrysler 200 include shutting off while driving, transmission issues, and vibrations while driving at highway speeds. Overall, these problems are average compared to other midsize cars, and repair costs are slightly higher as well.

Since nearly all 2014 Chrysler 200 models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the A/C condenser for $650, door lock actuators costing $300, and the coolant reservoir which costs around $375.

Yes, the 2014 Chrysler 200 is a good value for a midsize car. Blue book prices range from $8,425 to $12,650, making it cheaper than a Honda Accord or Nissan Altima. When new, the price range was $21,795 to $33,445. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 15% of its current value per year.

The Chrysler 300 is another sedan from Chrysler which costs around $4,000 more. Performance and technology are both better in the Chrysler 300, however, the Chrysler 200 is offered as a convertible. We recommend the Chrysler 300 for 2014 since it has more passenger room.

The Honda Accord is a competitor which costs nearly $5,000 more. Technology is much more up-to-date in the Honda Accord, but the interior is nicer in the Chrysler 200. We recommend the Honda Accord for 2014 since they last longer with lower long-term ownership costs. 041b061a72
