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!

We rode in 2 Sedonas EX that provided great ride over bumps, etc. However, due to color etc. we bought a different color Sedona EX and find the ride over cracks in the road etc. very uncomfortable. Rides well on smooth roads, but otherwise, like an old truck. Very disappointed in the quality of ride.

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.
