Used 2010 Kia Sedona Minivan Consumer Reviews
Great value great car...all the perks
I researched both the Toyota Siena and the Honda Odyssey against the Sedona. I wanted leather, power everything and DVD. I ultimately went with the Kia because I could get all of those features for almost $5k lower than the Honda and Toyota (including incentives). I am so glad I did because the more I drive the fan the more comfortable I feel with the ride quality and features. My wife loves it, my kids love it and I love it (I never thought I'd say that about a minivan).
Latent Battery Related Issues
Purchased in March 2010, roughly 6 months later began having unexplained occurrences of the battery dying. Dealer found nothing wrong, yet the issue persists sporadically even to this day.

Step down
From Oldsmobile Silhouette to this. 4 miles less per gallon of gas than my 1999 and 2004. Rides like a dump truck, loud, poor cornering, terrible in snow with good snow tires. Doors freeze shut in winter. Wiper blades clear only part of the visual field. Rear wiper can only be obtained at a dealership and lasts about six months for $ 25.00 Side mirrors poorly suited to the vehicle. Cheap arm rests that fail constantly. Worst radio in automotive history. There is nothing that could convince me to try this vehicle again.
Dead battery
My company purchased a 2010 Sedona. When we keep the emergency flashers on for more then 10 minutes without the van running our battery goes dead. I brought it back to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. A battery does not go dead within that short period of time. The KIA company have done nothing to resolve this problem after numerous complaints, I would not recommend any one to purchase a KIA even though it is the sister to the Hyundai family. Can you just imagine being on the side of the highway and your vehicle breaks down, you keep your flashers on and when the tow truck arrives, he has to jump your battery and fix a flat at the same time. Buyer Beware!
check manufacture date before buying
The 2010 sedona is basically the same as the previous year van. With a few exceptions. I traded in a 2006 sedona for the 2010.The differences I notice are. Rear spoiler was standard on 2010 Rear view cameria, seen in mirror, on the 2010. Paint job I believe is nicer on the 2010. Changes inside from my 2006 are. only one glove box on 2010 there were 2 on the 2006. No slide out cup holders on center console in the 2010. Now the reason to check the manufactered date. Kia motors magazine "Open Road" States "All new Kia vehicles now feature HD Radio". You would assume all 2010 vehicals would have this. NOT SO .Kia told me My 2010 was produced in Aug.2009 so it I don't get it .
