Used 2016 Kia Sedona LX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Great performer!
Good quality and surprisingly stingy on gas. Holds 8 people comfortably while still allowing some storage behind the rear seat. To date no major problems over past 3+ years.

Quickly became disappointed in our Sedona
We owned our Sedona for a month but quickly grew tired of it and then eventually replaced it. We initially purchased it because it was more current than the Grand Caravan and more affordable, better driving, with a better second row solution than the Odyssey. Some important missing safety features I later kicked myself for missing that I was careful to check on other vans was NO third row LATCH connectors and no daytime running lights (DRLs). DRLs are standard on most cars today and the dealer tried to lie to us and tell us parking lights were DRLs. I find it ridiculous a FAMILY van is missing third row latch connectors. Even the aging Grand Caravan is standard with the above. We had the LX model with the Convenience Package, not a cheap van, yet it had a very small center 4.3" (I believe) LCD in this day and age was a joke to all that entered the vehicle. We had quality issues with the power steering and fuel system that were intermittent and the dealer could not help us with. The steering after 1000 miles softened giving it a less precise driving feel, the plus side is we started driving slower since we trusted the handling less. In favor of the Sedona we found the second row solution much better than the Odyssey's lift out solution. The engine was also stronger than what was in the Odyssey making highway passing easier. Fuel economy was the lowest of any minivan I have put significant miles on. Handling was similar between the two vans. This van proved to the be the worst car we have ever purchased and probably our worst financial mistake, even though it cost us we are so happy to be out of it. We had not given the new Pacifica a try during the first round since it was so new when we were shopping. I suggest giving it a try, we were amazed how much better van it is in every respect, so happy now.

Nice!!!
Owned less than one month. Very happy with the car. I get 17.1 MPG city and 25 MPG in the mountains, very little highway miles at this point. Update: Six plus months now; with two great vacations. Very happy with the Kia Sedona. 28-30 HWY MPG. The middle seats kneel forward allowing for the folding raised platform I have that supports a full-size tri-fold mattress with storage underneath, push button side-doors, wonderful for camping and cargo. I am very pleased with the high quality of the Kia Sedona. Update: One plus years now; Very pleased with the Kia Sedona LX. The Sedona handles very well at highway speeds. On a recent camping trip I averaged 22.9 MPG. Safety, quality, passenger and cargo capacity are all wonderful. The Kia Corporation and the local Dennis Dillon Dealership have also proved to be wonderful to me.

This car saved my family’s life
We were in an accident a few weeks ago that probably should have killed or at least severely injured us. This car saved our lives. We walked away with some very minor injuries. I look at the damage and I am shocked.

Nice Van
Great Van has everything you could want in a new used Van. KIA has one of the nicer vans out there. Now if it holds up mechanically all will be good.
