People give KIA Motors dirt about how their build quality is horrible and that they are a piece of junk but ill tell you something this minivan is the the 2nd best car i have ever owned! I purchased mine at Jim Click Kia and the sales people are just the best! Hey its a minivan you cant expect excellent fuel mileage! The price is unbeatable I paid 25k for mine loaded and the power doors have never gotten stuck no problems at all! power everything! for 25k? WOW KIA really out did themselves with the product! The engine is super strong!! and it is very hard to drive this car with a light foot because the power is always there! shifts smooth as butter just if you need a mini van! take a look

The quality of this car is much worse than I expected. Seat material is thin, electronics unresponsive and unpredictable and the brakes are a safety hazard Kia will not own up to. They allow small pebbles from the road to get into the calipers and impede proper braking application. They call this an environmental situation and will not address it as a design flaw. The dealer won't fix it on his dime either. I have only 1800 miles on the car and it has been in twice for repairs. I live on a paved road! I can't afford to keep paying for brake repairs. Be ready for some disappointments if you buy this car and have previously owned a quality built vehicle,

Just bought it and traded in a 09 Suburu Forester. The KIA is bigger, more comfortable and holds more stuff with the seats folded. A lot more power and the 6 spd tranny is a big plus. We bought the basic EX model

Best Vehicle I've ever owned

I bought my 2012 base Kia Sedona used in December of 2014. I was 4 months pregnant with our 2nd child. We went to the Kia dealer to look at SUVs but the van was a Special so I was curious. My husband wasn't as interested. Test drive went great so we scooped it up. I drove that Van for nearly 9 years. Just recently traded it in for a used Chrysler Pacifica. I miss my Sedona and wish I kept it. It was the best value, reliable, safe, and just wonderful. My husband who originally wasn't interested quickly and still shares the same sentiment. If you are looking for a van for your active, busy, kid, pet, outdoorsy life this is what you need to get. Very little maintenance and repairs with over 143000 miles before trade in. Go get one!
