Great minivan - Bad on fuel comsumption

I recently purchased a 2005 Kia Sedona LX and it really is a nice minivan. The van's exterior is nice to look at; pleasant on the eyes. The interior is made up of good materials and is quite comfortable. My kids love the roominess of the interior, all the cup holders, lights, rear controls for heat and air. However, in light of gas prices rising to $3.00 a gallon (a small exaggeration for now), I am really concerned about the "below average" fuel mileage the Sedona is known for. This is my only gripe about this minivan, otherwise, I think it was a good purchase for my family and me.

My passanger doors are difficult to open for children & tend to stick. And a few big blind spots because of the rear head rests...however I love to drive my KIA I traded it in from a Voyager & the POWER is awesome! I got the cloth seats, didnt want the leather, but got every other option including the sun roof..the seats are comfortable, the sound system is as my 8yr old says AWESOME. I would buy another tomorrow if I could.

So far it is a nice vehicle. It has great pickup and rides very smoothly. I had a DVD put in for the kids and it makes it all worth while. The price is right and we got a great deal for a large automobile.

Interior is entirely too small for a 6'3" man, or even average folks. I don't even fit in the drivers seat comfortably. The gas mileage stinks, not as advertised. The passenger seat is too close to dash also. Bucket seats are much too small and not at all comfortable for any length of time. It is very difficult to turn around. The headrests in the rear are in the driver's vision and you cannot see clearly around them. Hope we never have to travel very far in it, as it gets miserable to sit in the seats very long at all. But the biggest problem is the lousy gas mileage. We live in the country, and drive almost all highway miles, and can't get above 17 mph. I can't wait to get rid of it!
