Who knew what a 15 minute test drive didn't tell

This is by far the worst vehicle we have had. It is entirely too small inside, seats are uncomfortable, visor on drivers side is difficult to see past when down, hard to see behind auto with head rests, they were removed, built for small persons, gas mileage is not anywhere near 22mpg highway, can't hardly make a "U" turn, power steering is rotten, like not having much if any. All dash and steering column gadgets are located in awkward places and user unfriendly! Heater is not consistent, radio dial volume knob turns and turns after full volume is reached. Any person sitting in very back seat cannot sit up straight if over 6 ft tall. We want out of this car ASAP.

We love our Kia Sedona. The affordability and warranty on the car is just wonderful especially for a family on one income. Our only complaint is the steering is very touchy.

Beware of faulty brakes

Within a few months of buying our Sedona we began having brake problems. The brakes would grind when stopping. We took it to be repaired and they fixed it at no charge. The same problem happened again within a short time and the brakes had to be replaced for a second time. We read on the internet that the brakes were too small for the weight of the vehicle. This was a design flaw. A third time we had to take the van in for brake repairs and this time the dealership told us that they had a brake kit that would permanently fix the problem. They put in the new brakes but since the van had 50,000 miles on it they made us pay over $400.00 to finally fix the problem. We are furious about this!!

A lot of minivan for the buck. Kia is motivated to compete and it shows. Common sense features + extras. Nice to drive. Well designed. Happy with it.

Poor Gas Mileage

Overall, we love the Sedona. But, with continuous increase in gas prices, we could not afford to drive it. I was lucky to get 16(city)mpg in the winter. In the summer, it was even less.
