KIA Not Loyal to Me

2008 Kia Sedona EX 4dr Ext Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

We bought a brand new '08 KIA Sedona EX, with all the bells and whistles (leather heated seats, adjustable pedals, sunroof, DVD system, etc., except navigation). We had an '06 Sedona LX that we liked and I figured we'd go for top of the line. Don't get me wrong, we love our EX, but will never buy another KAI again; no trade-in or resale value. We average 20 miles to the gallon, combined city and highway, but wanted something better on the gas. We checked into the KIA Sorento, really liked it and it gets excellent gas mileage with the 2.4L GDI engine. When I asked what I could get for a trade-in, I was told $13,000. My best advice...check resale values before you buy your next new car.
So far so good

Currently have 2500 miles and not one complaint. Drives better than our previous 2003 Odessey and 10K less. KIA/Hyundai is challenging overpriced Hondas and Toyota who are living on undeserved reputations and ripoff dealers. This is not the KIA of 5/10 years ago. Don't be afraid to buy. She's a little thirty with that powerful engine and all the room, but if want great mileage, buy a small Mazda 5 or something similar.

We bought this used in 2011 for $15K with 20K. Now at just over 100K, I must say it's been a great, reliable car. Other than occasional battery death every 2-3yrs, TPMS light on/off, all I had to do was put synthetic oil every 15000 mi and do some minor repairs myself. Replacement parts are available cheap, so this was a fun car to do work on myself. Stop paying those grease monkeys $$$ - YouTube has it all! One surprising part that failed recently was a front axle, which cost me about $500 parts+labor. Other than that, just make sure to tighten some screws yourself once in awhile (e.g. door parts), and you're good to go! We're keeping this car until it will die. If we still need a 7-passenger car then, I'll probably spring for a used Telluride. My impression of Kia = Quality!

Our family has been very happy with our van. We have been surprised at the quality and reliability of he vehicle. It handles very well and has fabulous acceleration. We opted for the power package with power sliding doors and back up assist. The van is an excellent value for the money.
Now that it's fixed, I love it

I had trouble with my Sedona when new; the battery kept draining. It took the dealer awhile to find the problem (a computer module wasn't connected tightly), but they were so helpful, and KIA even called me a couple times during the repair without me asking for their help. I was impressed with their customer service; it made an annoying issue easier to deal with. Once that little problem was solved, the van has been a dream. I took it on an 1800 mile trip last month, and it performed flawlessly and was so relaxing to drive. Normally that kind of trip tires me out, but the driving comfort is so great that I was able to drive lots further in a day than normal. I can't wait to take more trips.
