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

I previously owned a 2004 Chrysler T&C that repeatedly required maintenance from the day I bought it, so I was at wits end and decided to trade it in for a Kia Sedona. I purchased a 2010 Sedona EX with Luxury and entertainment packages. I have owned my Sedona for a month now and it is a really really nice vehicle especially compared to my T&C. It's very comfortable, the ride is extremely smooth and the amenities are terrific. Would definitely purchase this vehicle given a second opportunity.

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!

Poor vehicle/Poor Customer Service

KIA is dishonest. Standard options don't come standard. 15 mpg instead of 21 mpg. The engine light came on at only 500 miles. It handles poorly. Acceleration is weak. It has the feeling of a 4 cylinder. It doesn't have all the options that it's competitors have. The options they do have don't have the functionality of it's competitors. For example, it has radio controls on the steering wheel, yet you can't change the station or go to the next song on the wheel. You still have to go to the radio. ***Spend a little bit more upfront for a more reliable minivan. It'll be cheaper in the long run.
