This van is Matt every knee that our family has had. Plenty of room it just will see stow and go seats, storage room in the back. We previously had Pontiac Montana and it had the Cadillac of leather seats. These are just a step down, but very comfortable. It's hard for a man to find a minivan seat that has a long enough bottom to support comfortable driving the legs. This one does okay. UPDATE: 2018 now and still lovi g it!!!

Surprising car

This is a fun car to drive. At today's gas prices, I am glad to report that the car actually gets the advertised mileage. They stated it would get 18 mpg (city) and 25 mpg (highway). While mileage depends on driving habits, I get at least 18 mpg city, and up to 28 mpg highway. The 28 mpg was reached while driving on an interstate doing 85 mph (don't tell the police.)

Unlike other reviews, I have put over 80000 miles on my Sedona in just 2 years. So, I'm talking experience here. The car handles like a sports car. The ride is pretty good, although there is no isulation to speak of (you hear a lot of road noise). I get 20 mpg in city/highway driving. On the open road, at 75, I get 24-25. Great bang for the buck! Downside! The residual value on this vehicle is horrible. Comparing it to other minivans with comparable equipment, mileage, and initial purchase cost, the Kia is $4k-5k less. I trade every 2 years, and expect to pay to get right side up. However, this van is costing me too much to trade. Cost new; $24k. Now; $6500! What a hit in 2 years!

80,000 miles and no major problems so far!

We wanted a used Toyota Sienna or Honda Odessy bu the prices were about 20% to 25% higher than an equivalent KIA minivan. So we bought our 2007 Sedona EX in 2009 with 17,000 miles on it. As second owners, the original 10 yr./100K mi. warranty partially passed to us for 60,000 miles or 5 years (until May 2012), whichever came first, which we thought was pretty generous on KIA's part. We actually used it when the automatic doors began to act up within the first year we owned it. This is a known issue on some Sedona vans from this period. We took it to the dealer two or three times before they finally got it fixed right and the problem has never returned. We bought the EX model, which has lots of bells and whistles, including very convenient power rear "wing windows" in the third row. We've had a couple of engine lights over the years like O2 sensors, etc. Common problems on most cars but at least two or three hundred bucks to repair! But the engine block itself and tranny have not had any problems since we bought it. We used full synthetic oil from the beginning, every 5,000 miles on schedule. Plus we use a little Archoil additive every oil change. We haven't had a tune up since we bought it. But the 3.8L engine still runs smooth and has lots of power when accelerating, even with a full house. Smooth shifting as well. It has never left is stranded on the side of the road. At 60,000 miles, the windshield wiper motor died and was replaced. Surprisingly, we were able to squeeze 70,000 miles out of the original tires, although that was really pushing it below the tread-wear indicators. Put a set of Costco Michelin Defenders all the way around ($800) and it rides like a cream-puff. The overhead information display is a very nice feature, and tells us that we average 17 MPG consistently in the city. Freeway driving allows us to get maybe 20 to 22 miles per gallon, depending on speed. The interior layout is user friendly and attractive. Very roomy for families with kids. The rear well behind the third row is very deep, allowing for lots of luggage stowage. Cupholders and cubby holes are everywhere. The factory speakers are "OK" but the stock radio is really below par. Upgraded to an aftermarket head unit and the sound quality is so much improved. It's one of three cars in the household, so we drive it only about 6,500 miles per year. At 80,000 miles our Sedona is still going strong, although the front suspension is just now starting to "creak and squeak" as if some major front end work may be in store....time for a visit to Les Schwab for a free inspection! The van still has the original alternator and water pump, so we should probably get those two items replaced before they die. Overall, this minivan has served us well for family hauling and vacations. Definitely got our money's worth over the years.
