Review from Someone who Bought VERY USED

I bought this van two months ago, due to needing a vehicle after having my previous one trashed by a drunk driver..... I bought my Sedona at 123k miles, and it is 11 years old at this point (2006 model, it is 2017). So far so good. I have not had any problems with it so far and love all the space I have now compared to the mid-sized sedan I was driving previously. I especially love how the 3rd row seats actually fold down into the floor, giving you flat space back there. I was amazed at all the storage space. I also really love the little pop-down back seat viewing mirror, so I can see if my two kids are fighting/sleeping/whatever. The automatic head lights and tinted rear-view mirror are very helpful too. This is just a downright cool van compared to my previous car. The downside: I don't like are the wind noise when going high speeds - I have to turn the radio way up to hear it. It also has a harder time accelerating and the engine makes weird noises, guessing they are normal because I've had two mechanics check the engine out. Also the side doors don't always stay open and lock in place, making it hard sometimes to get in/out.

We first purchased a 2006 Kia Optima LX (brand new and still own) when we had our first child. Then we purchased our 2006 Kia Sedona LX (used - 5yrs old) when we had our second child. I love both of my Kia's. Sure I have had some issues, like the Air Bag light and Check Engine light - but no car is perfect. Even if you own a BMW or MB, there are still issues! I will forever drive a KIA : )

Used to have a Dodge Caravan, compared to that JUNK, this Kia is MUCH better. Yes, it has had the trips to the dealer, (2) for warranty related work, but compared to the NON-warranty trips I had with the Dodge, I would NEVER buy Mopar AGAIN!! Not a bad van for the money. I bought it used with 24k and have since gone past the warranty and just bought new tires for it.

Great Van but where is the 25 MPG

We love the van but the best mileage we have gotten is 19.1 on a level road. We average about 16 MPG which is almost the same as we get with our Avalanche. Our old Grand Voyager would average over 17 MPG and get almost 23 MPG on a trip. Comfort is excellent but the second row seats are a little tall for an adult as a taller person will hit their head on the roof. A couple of minor problems but the dealer bent over backwards to make them right. All in all an excellent value for the money. We would put this side by side with any minivan made. Also don't forget this has the highest safety rating on any minivan made.
