Increasingly Disappointed

2003 Kia Sedona EX 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

At first I would have written reccomending this minivan like others, but at 15,000 miles I can't. It has been in service many times for many different reasons. To be honest it sounds like a rattle trap. The seats rattle, the doors rattle, the back gate rattles. For the last serveral months the cruise has not consistently worked. They can't find the problem! The van's largest draw card is a lot of high-end features for reasonable money. And yet, you have to be able to enjoy those features while driving down the road. Would I buy the car again? Positively no. Be willing to give up long term integrity to fancy features.

A BIG JOKE

All I can say is I spent over 20 grand for the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned. Three sets of Rotors, power steering pump, rack, AC, heater, door handles, ball joints, and all the junky plastic interior. Of course I cant leave out the fact that to change 6 spark plugs it took me 6 hours to do so. Either that or pay a mechanic $800.00 bucks to do it since the back three are practically inaccessable Oh and one more thing. Metal anti freeze lines from front to back rusted out. Im thinking some type of plastic lies would be to easy to use. Bottom line is they knew what kinda junk they were building so we as consumers would have to rely on the incompitent mechanics at the dealerships

Cheap for the money but costly when repairs are needed. After warranty is out vehicle will fall apart.

It's everything the research says. It lacks a few of the gadgets that the more upmarket minivans have, but it has everything you truly need. The engine is remarkably smooth, the ride very good, the build quality much nicer than expected. And you simply cannot top the warranty! I don't know why anyone would buy anything else.
