We bought our Van 2 weeks ago and love it.We have three small children and when looking around for a van we wanted one with a lot of storage/room as well as an affordable price.The Sedona's inside design allows for plenty of storage and I love all the cup holders and A/C Adaptors.We also liked that the dual slide doors comes standard on all models.The one thing I would change would be the width of the van.We have the model that has captain chairs and it is a little difficult to walk between the two seats.I have noticed on other vans the body is much wider.Other than that we love this van.We intend to keep it a long time.The great thing about Kia is the warranty! 100K/10years.You can't beat it

I wish it were a little bit larger. We have three children so a car would not work for us. A larger suv is not very cost effective when it comes to price or fueling up and running errands. So for something that has 7 passenger seating, is economical in price, and gas cost, the Kia Sedona is perfect! I only long for a place to pack a stroller, diaper bag, groceries (enough for a family of 5), and of course the kids!

Second review

Hi, This is my second review. My first review was done right after we bought our van and it was a good review but, after having had it for several months I do have some new issues. One being the paint. It scratches and dents very easy. The gas mileage is horrible, the cargo room is next to none. We keep one captains chair out in order to have extra room and we have a chirping noise that happens when we first start the van in the morning or after it has sat for awhile. We were told it is a normal sound because the pistons may stick or get something in them? After the first start up and after it drives awhile it does quit. However it bothers/worries me. Overall It is a good van and we are happy with it!

I have had my Sedona only 6 months and so far it has been almost perfect. I have no kids, but often carry music equipment. It was easy to remove the back seats to give me extra room. The driver seat adjustments have made it very comfortable to drive. I had a minor accident last month and rented a smaller, sportier hatchback while my van was in the shop, and couldn't wait to get my Sedona back, not just for the room, but for the comfort and the way it handles. My only concern right now is the fuel mileage which is probably due to the weight of the van coupled with the size of the engine, but the price, warranty, features, handling and comfort make up for that.
