My wife and I bought a van because we had a third kid on the way. We looked at the Dodge Caravan (before the big 2016 or 2017 update), Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna. The Caravan was fun to drive, but we didn’t see it being a good long term vehicle. The Honda and the Toyota were awesome, but way more expensive. We were about to settle on the Honda when we decided to try the Kia. We were pleasantly surprised! It’s a comfortable van to drive and ride in. I have some things I like and things I don’t though. Like: 1) Ride quality 2) Price 3) The interior is cheap, but still looks good. 4) It’s been reliable for the 2 years we’ve had it so far. Dislike: 1) gas mileage isn’t as good as other vans 2) The middle row seats can’t be removed and don’t stow away in a good position to allow for as much storage space as other vans. 3) The radio technology is “meh...”. It does what it is supposed to, but it’s not the best in the world. Ultimately, my wife and I knew we weren’t getting the latest and greatest van on the market. BUT, our bank account is pretty happy with us. We take good care of it and it takes care of us. It does what we need it to do, and we enjoy driving it.

I have owned the car for two weeks. It rides nice and has great gas mileage. I wish it had a few more bells and whistles. But it is a basic good minivan that fits my family.

I absolutely LOVE this minivan. I test drive the 18 Sienna, did not drive the Odyssey because I don't like the look. Drove a dodge. This Sedona beats them all in comfort, acceleration, cargo space, passenger leg room, everything. It's bigger than I was used to. 2002 Sienna vs 16 Sedona in the garage was like a pair of 12's vs 10's in a sz 13 shoe box. Lol! I love that I can fold the mirrors in with the touch of a button to be able to get into the garage. It's that tight! We have hubby's Camry & all his tool stuff in there as well. It's always been tight, now it's tighter! I can fit 8' sticks of lumber in the back! It's 8' from the door to the back of my seat. AMAZING! I keep the tear seats folded down always & put down a rubber mat to protect it. Amazon has great tools to get what fits. The middle seats slide back to allow for log legged humans, which at 6'3 my 15 year old was no longer able to ride comfortably in our Sienna for long road trips. The middle seat folks down so the have holders for drinks. There seems to be holders all over really! It lacks a USB plug in the back, which surprised me. Looking into installing one in the console between the front seats for the rear. Would be pretty easy to do. The van did not come with cross bars for the roof rack. Something I miss that me Sienna had. We will be installing those shortly. My only true gripe about the van is the MPG. The dash lies. It's always 1 to 2 miles higher per gallon than the actual. The most ice ever got out of it, even with all highway driving, was 22mpg. I leave off the eco drive though, so maybe that is causing worse mileage than quoted. When I accidentally press the button by setting my purse on it the van drives really sluggish. When I first did it I though the van was having an engine malfunction! My new van! Once I realized what it was I was so relieved! Over all super happy with our purchase. It has 33k mi currently.
