GOOD EXCEPT FOR ONE EXPENSIVE "NON WARRANTY " FIX

I bought the 2012 Sedona in 2013 as a certified used car because I was swayed by the 100k mile powertrain warranty. It has almost 94k miles on it now and has been a solid performer. The 3.5 V6 is a strong engine with plenty of go power and it revs up quickly. Wish you could get that engine in a sedan like the Optima. what a screamer that would be without the complications of turbo! Everything still works well and the only complaint that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the oil sensor failure at about 60K miles. It is not an expensive part but it sits inside the V and reequires removing the manifold to replace it. Very expensive and (not considered power train) which I do not agree with. What else is not considered power train?

As a 71 year old I never thought that I would own a mini-van. But three grandchildren under 4 and a 96 year old mother-in-law changed all that. So I went shopping in late '11 dead set on getting an Oddysey. Reality set in quickly as price and an unwillingness of four Honda dealerships to deal eliminated that choice. And lucky that was for I had a blast shopping around - something I had not needed to do for my previous five cars. My final choice was an easy one spurred by a great deal, friendly dealership, and fully loaded Kia Sedona at about 12k less than the desired Oddysey. It is now ten months and almost 20k miles into the vehicle and I love it.

It is not my old Honda Odyssey but it comes close. Ride is very comfortable; controls well laid out; very good electronics given the age. Solid care for the value.

I'm not a soccer mom writing this review. After reading reviews for several mini van makers, and having a friend who just retired a Kia Rio with 346,200 miles on it, that swayed me to the Kia Sedona. Yea, its not a Honda or a Toyota. But it is a surprisingly great family ride. I'm only sorry that Kia has decided to make 2012 the final year for production for the Sedona.
Excelent
