Not impressed
I have owned this van almost 3 years now. It has 43k miles on it on I just put the 3rd set of brakes on it. It gets OK gas mileage (about 18-19 combined driving). The front end vibrates horribly and makes a weird popping noise, but the dealership can not find an issue (of course). My tires on the front only seem to last about 15k miles probably due to the front end issue that can't be found. I have a squeaky rattle in the van since picking it up (and the dealership can't fix that either). I would not recommend this car. I hope that the newer models have improved.
Great Van
We rented a Sedona for a family vacation and loved the way the vehicle ran and the comfort. After we got back we started looking around for one and got our Sedona in November 2004.

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.
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.
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.
