Absolutely no problems. Plenty of power and very comfy to drive. Lots of room for family and lots of stuff. We take it and all our stuff to the beach whenever possible.

Our '04 Kia Sedona has been reliable for the most part. We have had a few major problems with the air conditioning. The size of this van is very small and is not a 7 passenger van but more of a 6 passenger van. I can't fit all my groceries in the back cargo space. 13 mpg is not acceptable. The third row and second row seats are very hard to remove. The driver and passenger seats and head rests are very uncomfortable.

2004 Kia Sedona for Better or Worse

I have owned this Kia for over 2 years and it is a great auto to own; for the money you could not buy a better van with all the equipment on it. The gas mileage is the only problem I have had to date; I get 10 to 12 in city and 15 to 16 on highway. They say everything is ok with the car but still gas mileage doesn't lie. Other than that it is a GREAT CAR!

I traded a 1990 Dodge gran caravan for the red 2004 lx Kia Sedona. Found it roomy for its smaller size. Plenty of storage compartments and the am/FM/cd player was great extra power outlets helpful for charging cell phones etc found the 3.5 6 cyl to be fast and the overdrive trans well suited the vans performance, but fuel mpg was rate 16 I'm lucky to get 13 city 16 hwy Cruise control works well saves fuel on long trips. In four years of ownership have had to replace the fuel pump. Front brakes. Alternator, battery, front heater fan, all covered by the warranty except the brakes. Dealer maintenance is high over length of warranty 10 yrs 100,000 miles, paint has held up well except around the door handles

Has a very powerful engine. The 5 Speed Transmission is Great. In General is Very Responsive. Sound System is decent. Nice Interior distribution. The Fuel economy is the only thing is disappointing, this the heviest minivan of all, but after this vehicle is one of the top ranks in this category. The finishings have great quality

The Kia Sedona is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have purchased six new cars in the last eight years, and this is the most reliable. I currently have 45000 miles on the van, with out any mechanical failures. This can not be said about any new vehicle I have ever purchesed.

I recently bought an 04 sedona with only 129 miles on it. Since then I've put about 1400 miles on it, and had to gas up about 7 times...on a 20 gallon tank. Kinda hurts the budget spending that much on gas. Took it to the dealer, they said there was nothing wrong, so unfortunately, pretty much have to get rid of it. I figured I pretty much got messed over by a lemon...oh well, my dealer has done what they can to make it right by getting me into a good optima
