Used 2012 Kia Sedona Minivan Consumer Reviews
We'd buy it again.
Very happy eith this vehicle. Only minor downside is engineering for drive/acle (apparently) results in slight pull to left during acceleration. We'd buy it again if we had to do it over again.

WHAT THE BLEEP HAPPEND TO THE MPG ?!!?!
The sticker states that this minivan get 18 city and 25 hwy, which I expected after purchasing the vehicle. After 2 months and over 1200 miles the best I've been able to get out of it is 16.5 MPG. For a 21.1 size gallon tank, I become extremely aggravated when I can't even drive 300 miles before I'm in need of a fill up. I felt that this was a rock solid value when I purchased it. Everything else about the van meets or exceeds my expectations. But if I wanted such horrendous gas mileage performance I should have just purchased an SUV!

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?

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.
