Gas mileage is horrible. The controls above the dashboard have no illumination at night so are hard to see. You don't know if you are opening the sunroof or the rear side window. The seats are removable but are extremely heavy to take in or out. I as a female could easily remove the seats in our previous Pontiac Transport, but cannot do it alone or at all with the Kia.

Bought my Sedona in NOVEMBER OF 2003. I couldn't put 2003 on the date purchased window. Car's great. Drives well. Haven't driven much. When I got it, it had 8 miles. It has now aboutj 220 miles. So far, it drives well. I think, the steering is a bit too sensitive. Rear seats, kinda vibrate too much producing the vibration noise. Over all the minivan is excellent.

This has to have been the worst vehicle i have bought. Purchased 4/2/2010 with 52,000 miles. 40 days later I'm walking to work because engine blew and dealer wont fix it they blame me for changing the spark plugs. Before that in 3 weeks time it was in the shop 4 times first hub bearing went bad, then ac went out, then the van would just stall for no reason. They find nothing wrong. For people having this problem clean out the mass air flow sensor i found that out myself. Then a week later at 53,000 miles engine started knocking and smoking towed to the dealer and was told need new engine. Just the name KIA has lemon written all over it.Avoid the stress and steer clear. Very bad gas mileage.

Kia has come a long way. We were very skeptical of buying a Kia, let alone a brand new model with no track record. By the features offered at the price, and the warranty provided convinced us to take the chance. It was definately worth it. We speak very high of Kia to all our friends, and I'm giving Kia very strong consideration for my next commuter car!

At nearly half the cost of mini vans this one rocks! At 6000 miles not a trip to the shop...
