Quite pleased, especially for the price. Looks nice, rides well, feels safe. Fit and finish better than imagined it would be.

Purchased top-of-the-line Sedona EX with leather, sunroof, etc. After delivery, we found a cracked interior trim piece (pillar), a ripped interior trim piece (on passenger side sliding door), a scratch on the radio, a place on a leather seat that had been rubbed with sand paper to remove a stain/mark, and an incessantly rattling rear seat. The dealership can't or won't fix problems. Can't get parts, etc. Van was in shop for 21 days of the first 40 days after delivery. Think twice before you purchase one of these. "You get what you pay for." Look at Honda and Toyota.

Using the Warranty a Lot!!

We bought this van when due with our second child. We have had a lot of challenges with it so far, and are currently working on getting out of it. I've used the roadside assistance 3 times for a dead battery and had it in for service to replace the cam seals. The darned thing was leaking oil at 5000 miles! The car has not started on 3 separate occasions, which stinks when you're pregnant and relying on it! I would not buy one again, nor would I recommend it to friends. When it runs it's a nice enough van. A bit loud, but basically a nice, albeit unreliable van.

Rides great, wonderful for road trips. Room enough to sleep with rear seats removed. Entire electrical system went out, burning smell, was in shop for over a week. Did have minor reoccurring electrical troubles that were repaired under warranty. At 60,400 miles the alternator went out, only financial assistance offered was from a kind service manager. Kia Customer Service refused any assistance. Don't know if I would purchase another.

I have owned this for over a year and I can honestly say I have really enjoyed it from the first day. Main purchase reason was more space for trips with the family. The ride is great, the seats are comfortable, and I have only had minor issues (one front wheel bearing and the dealership replaced both under warranty with NO hassles). Great vehicle for the money, but plan on keeping it as the resale value is awful!
