Love my Kia
We bought the Sedona because the price compared to other brand names is so much less for what you get. It didn't take me long to find out that not only did I save money, I also got a lot of great things in this van for my money. The seating room isn't the largest but it is just fine for me my wife and three boys + a guest or two. If you are a large person then getting into the third row will be hard, but for the average built person it is no problem. The engine handles great and with over 33K mile on her we have had no problems at all. The cargo space in the rear is ok but could be larger. Other than that I am sold on Kia for life.
So Sad Sedona
We bought the Sedona with only 14 miles on it hoping it would be a vehicle to depend on should my husband ever get deployed. Lo and behold I was moving home from NC to UT and it died at highway speeds just before Albuquerque NM. Weird I thought for a van that only has 17000 miles on it. Turned off the key turned it back on drove a mile or two and again...it died. I about got hit by several semi trucks that travel the I-40 west. This is not a reliable vehicle. It was towed three times before they found the problem and that was because we sat at the dealership and told them how to fix it. They replaced four blown fuses, fixed a throttle cable recall, and ended up replacing computer.

I love my Sedona
I wanted a mini-van due to having children and the fact that I love to travel. The Sedona is a great deal for the money. The only other mini-van I really liked was almost $10,000 more than the Sedona. It made the choice pretty simple. I got a DVD player installed for only $1200. I got everything I wanted for a great price.
It's been a pleasure
I purchased my Sedona w/ only 12 miles on it. Now it has over 67,000 miles. I've taken it on many road trips and have been disappointed w/ the storage space. If you're thinking of this van,definitely opt for the luggage rack. But i have to give it credit for reliability. I've maintained the oil changes like the dealership suggested and i have NEVER had any problems in the overall performance. The gas mileage could be better but that goes for most vehicles w/ 6 cylinders.
Had better
The vehicle is fine for hauling kids around and on trips. It has a very nice interior - leather seats, moon roof, stereo system and more compartments to stow stuff than a chipmunk's cheeks. I do not like the overall reliability of the vehicle and subsequent dealer service. I feel that for a vehicle with less than 40k miles on it we have had too many problems. Also the dealer service departments seem to be lost when fixing this vehicle sometimes.
