2004 Kia Sedona

The Sedona by Kia has been basically a good purchase. I was disappointed in the gas mileage, both in town and out on the road. The "take-out" rear seats are heavy when removing.

I had a dodge Caravan but the new ones were to pricey. I also had a kia sophia as my second car, I like it runs well. So I went and looked at the sedona. The price was good and 2,000 off for Kia loyalty, made it even better, plus the warranty and 5 years road side asistence made it even better. It runs great and lots of room, on the down side it does use a lot of gas, but I know its a mini van, and it has all kinds of power very peppy.

I love everything about my Kia, except for a few things like the lack of legroom in the last row. I cannot get anyone over the age of six to sit back there. It is very uncomfortable. I have also found that I am not getting very good gas mileage with the van. I have noticed that I am only getting about half of what was advertised when I purchased the van. Other then that my family loves riding in the van.

I have had the sedona for 14 months put on 7500 miles. The only problem i had was the rear door would not open from the inside. But that was easy to fix. The minivan comes with 5 years or 60,000miles bumper to bumper. This is a good all around minivan. I have the EX model it has everything except leather seats. If u are looking for a minivan take a close look at this one.

This van is dependable, comfortable, luxurious, and a thrill to drive. My husband and I dispute on who will drive it on the weekends. It has so much room for long trips and for the kids. It also was a huge help when we moved last April to our new house. I love this van as does my whole family. It is such a smooth ride and the engine is so quiet that my husband cannot hear me drive up. I really love this van! I highly recomend Kia vehicles to anyone. Just ask my brother. He and his wife just bought a Sorrento to take their new baby home in this July!
Great Van

This van is great. It rides well and has plenty of power to pull a jetski even while fully loaded with cargo and family. Over 12k miles and no problems as of yet.

This is my first Kia and quality is on par with the Honda and Toyotas I've owned. After 4 months of ownership and 4,000 miles there have been no defects. The interior fit and finish and quality of leather are much better than the Nissan we test drove. The engine and transmission are very smooth. Great drive. This is a great van, as good as vans priced for thousands more.
Great Buy

I did so research on Vans before I bought it and this is definitly the best bang for the buck. The interior is very nice and well designed and the kids were so quiet on the trip home, it was unbelieveable
over all good

just bought a new sedona with all the bells and whistles as a gift for my wife. had some problems with the service dept. at dealer from options i had installed. vehicle rides great and the leather seats are comfortable. rearview eyesight is hindered if dvd player is in use while driving making side mirrors a top priority. for a van of this weight it has good acceleration and handles well for the type driving we do. engine always seems to be in right gear. interior noise level is a little bit higher than expected, but playing the radio helps to block some of that out. door handles could seem a bit more sturdy and not have that could break any moment feel. overall love our new kia sedona ex...
we love it !

We purchased a 2003 Sedona in December '03. The warranty and good things I heard about Kia attracted us to them. We could not be happier! The interior is beautiful. It is a joy to drive. I had a warning light go on indicating an engine problem. I called the 800 number and received immediate help. They picked up the van and checked out the problem. It ended up being a malfunction with the warning light. I was back on the road within 6 hours. Other than that I have had zero problems. This is a great product at a great price point.
alot for your money

THE BEST THING I FOUND ABOUT KIA IS THAT YOU GET ALOT FOR YOUR MONEY NOT ONLY WITH THE SEDONA BUT WITH ALL THEIR CARS. I LOVE THIS VAN. IS HAS FRONT AND REAR HEAT AND A/C I GOT A DVD PLAYER AND THE KIDS LOVE IT. IT CAME WITH 2 HEAD SETS! THE WARRANTY IS GREAT. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT WAS WONDERFUL!

The Kia Sedona can't be beat for its combination of value, features, and 10 yr warranty. I compared the Sedona to a fully loaded Honda Odyssey at $32,000. I paid $20,700 for my Sedona EX, including a manufacturer's rebate of $3,000. I added a very nice aftermarket 11" DVD/MP3/VCD player, seat heaters and a remote starter for less than $2,000. The $10,000 difference was too much for me to justify. Most people that end up buying Kia are looking for a big warranty and big bang for the buck. I am very happy knowing that my car will be fully warrantied until it is paid off. I think today's Korean cars are right where the Japanese were in the 80s: unbeatable value, performance, and reliability.

I bought this van because of the looks, reputation, crash test rating and warranty. Eight months down the road, I still like it very much. The stability and handling are excellent, I like the fact that it weighs so much. Very well put together, and comfortable interior. The ride is quiet, power is surprising for a 6 cylinder-195 horsepower engine.

I currently have 13,000 miles on this vehicle and have had virtually no problems with it. I love the ride and functionality of this van. It is on par with any other van on the market and at a much better price.
Great Value

Steering Wheel buttons rubbing off. Bumpers withstand very little without paint chip. Typical lack of room in regular sized minivan and/or SUV
We walked away from a high speed crash

I do not normally write reviews but I do read them all the time for any item that I consider buying. I thought it was time that I wrote one. Husband, 2 kids and I (3 months pregnant) were hit from behind in our Kia Sedona by an SUV. We were on a highway traveling about 65 mph and were hit by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel, had accelerator to the floor and hit us at 80 mph plus. Kids were in the middle row and not a scratch or bump on them. Third row was intact and untouched. If my kids had been in a regular car, they would have been seriously injured or killed. Keep your family safe and put them in a minivan or SUV. Thanks Kia. That 5 star safety rating saved our lives.
Great Kia

We bought this van to replace our 1997 Nissan Quest and this van surpasses the Nissan by a very large margin. We like everything about this van aside from the fact that the gas mileage is not up to par. But that is because of the extra weight but I will gladly sacrifice a little mpg for the safety in rain snow and windy conditions.
I love my Sedona

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.
Very Disappointed!

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.

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!
Ok for new van

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
Good for the price

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 probably just had a lemon

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
