This is not the first Kia. But it is our first SUV. It is such a pleasure to drive ... handles so easily, and mobility is excellent. The only downside is the small gas tank. It doesn't hold much gas at a time. Would rather not have to visit gas station as often. Like the 16 inch tires. It is a joy to drive. Was purchased as replacement for husband's car, but wife took it over! He hasn't had much opportunity to drive it!

We have a 2002 Sedona and have loved it until one thing after another keeps going on. The van keeps dying out on me. We have changed the motor mounts, 02 sensors, the air flow filters, and the alternator. So far the check engine light has not turned on so the dealer is guessing on what could be wrong. Up to now we have spent close to $2000 and still don't know what's going on. At this point I regreat letting my husband change my mind from buying the Toyota Sienna. WOMEN DON'T LET YOUR HUSBAND CHANGE YOUR MIND. For a mom with 3 small kids this is not a safe car!

I would recommend a Kia Sedona to any family that needs the room. All the power and style of a car put into a van. 10 thumbs up!

Kia Sedona at 13,000 Miles

I never dreamed I would end up driving a minivan but as a single father of 3, there was no better choice of vehicle for me right now. So I bought a 2005 Kia Sedona LX. I just love this van! Everything from the exterior to the interior of this van was put together with care and understanding of a family on a budget. The van looks and rides good and I am pretty happy with the purchase. My only gripe about this vehicle is that its consumption of gas is HUGE! I can get about 22mpg on the highway. When on the road, there is minimal road noise and good visibility. Controls in the cabin are laid out in a logical and thoughtful manner. Factory CD/radio system isn't bad.

Crash Test

My wife and I bought a 2005 Sedona that has 16,500 miles on May 21. Three days later while driving home from work I had an accident. A lady in a Lexus pulled in front of me and I slammed into her going approximately 50mph. After recovering from the initial shock of it all, I got out and found, to my surprise, very little damage to our van. The lexus was totaled. The van sustained damage to the front end and radiator, but had no intrusion into the engine. I was also very pleased with my lack of any serious injury, an air bag burn to my hand was all that happened. And now I have become a believer in the Sedona and its high crash rating.
