As for the sales reps everyone was welcoming but as for the KIA name in general the vehicles suck! My husband bought a 2016 KIA Sedona not even a year old yet and it seems like I've gone to get it services every month. First off the vehicle was full of little ants from being under a tree at the dealer and nothing was done about it then about a week after we purchased it we got some heavy rain and the water was leaking into the back tailgate, I took it in for service twice before they could figure out what was wrong with it. So now my van smells humid :-( on top of that they put a scratch on the tailgate and wanted me to take it back a third time to buff it out and eliminate the odor inside, I was already there for over 3 hours and I understand they are busy but my issue should of been a priority especially with me living 2 1/2 hours away so nothing was ever done about that. Well to continue after about a month my husband noticed that the navigation screen was pushed in from one side and popping out from the other side so I took it in for service and they said some screws were loose. Then one day my kids wanted to watch a movie on the DVD player and when they tried lifting the screen it was jammed again I took it in for service and they said some screws were loose that didn't allow it to open back up. I recently just took it in again because the traction light was coming on and the brakes would make a cracking sound and jam up, I was told the hubs needed to be replaced so they ordered parts and I have to go in once more to get them put on. I'm sorry but their service sucks and I will never buy a KIA again or recommend it to anyone. They need to better prioritize their customer service and I believe I deserved a full tank of gas and complimentary detailing for missing work and driving 2 1/2 hours to and from the dealer numerous times for non sense issue that a brand new vehicle shouldn't be having! To add to my issues with Kia the lights on the interior of the van don't work either, omg idk what's next or if it's even safe to drive this Sedona anymore.

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.

Kia Sedona is a great value for the money in comparison to similar vehicles. Having a family size of 8 the cargo space and storage is great!!! Gas mileage is also good in comparison to similar vehicles. The Sedona is equipped with great safety features such as side curtain air bags, back up camera, and proximity audible alarms for rear and front. For the price and safety features you can't beat a Kia Sedona!!!!

Drive is smooth and comfortable. We enjoy the heated and cooled seats. The navigation system isn't as smart as Waze but it does the job in a pinch.
