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).
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?

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.
Great buy

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.
Nice Ride

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.
