When our '14 Sienna's lease was about to expire (great car btw), I searched frantically for something new and improved. We had a '09 Odyssey followed by a '12 Odyssey. These cars were good -especially the 2009- but felt the 2012 was harder to use, and [much] worse to drive. We looked at the Pacifica (didn't like the driving) I didn't love Sienna's interior quality, so I didn't want another one. Honda's redesign was mindblowingly ugly (for me at least), so it was either Sedona or Quest. My parents and I ruled out the Quest after I did research on it and didn't like things about it. When I told my mom our best choice was a Sedona, she asked what brand it was. I said a Kia. She didn't stop laughing for 5 minutes. But after talking about it and seeing it at the LA car show, she opened up to it like crazy. We had eyed one Cerritos, and we recently purchased it for about 375\mo. We mostly do the back and forth of driving to the store, school, work etc. so mileage is pretty bad. Really comfy though and everything works good. One downside is how far the 'Tune' button is from the driver. it is far enough that you can't reach it while driving. Another is Lane Departure Warning & BSM. We want to keep it on because it can be extremely helpful, but it makes annoying beeps if, God forbid, we are within 2 inches of the yellow line. It also sometimes thinks it 'sees' things that it doesn't, which results in the LDW going off sometimes while pulling into our driveway. All in all though, awesome car

Not sure what’s going on but from the day we purchased the radio didn’t work right kept cutting out. Now I have passenger side mirror and tail light that stays on and hvac system will be on but instrument panel doesn’t reflect the system is on. New radio system installed andits cutting out again. Appears might be Associated with auxiliary input/connection some blind spots take getting used to and I’m disappointed the passenger front seat isn’t power slide seems a bit odd to have heated seat and not power adjustment the engine is a beast and maneuverability is fantastic very comfortable to travel in long distances

Dead engine at 68k

2016 Kia Sedona LX 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 6A)

We purchased a certified used 2016 Kia Sedona. We loved it but a mere 2 years in with only 68k miles on it, it died! Complete engine failure. We have had it maintained regularly through Kia. There were no lights or warning signs prior to this happening. We are out of warranty and Kia refuses to take responsibility for the crap vehicle they sold. We were told no loaner car is available because they are all out on major engine repairs. After charging us $95 to diagnose the problem they told us there is "no good will available". What kind of engine dies at 68k miles!? It's not ok! I will never purchase another vehicle from them again. Be warned.

Have to have substantial strength to move second and especially stowing third row seats. A little short on interior lighting on controls, door unlocks and that sort of thing. Way back lighting not too good inside cargo area. Don't like the way the headlights automatically dim at very slow speeds (live in deer country!) The voice response (navigation, blue tooth etc.) seems slow. Salespeople at Crown Kia in Tyler were not at the top of their game. Make ready was poor as to clean up but that was probably partly caused by my husband rushing them. Salespeople replaced some things missing in car, like the removable light in cargo area and that was good, but why did I have to ask? I have driven (3) Lexus RX350's in a row before this Kia and so far am more satisfied with the Kia. I am long legged and the 2nd row seats (on tracks) are wonderful!

With small kids this is a dream. I previously had a 2015 Dodge Journey and I'll tell you what, the Sedona is a luxury ride compared to that. The Sedona has so much room, easy to get my kids in and out of car seats, the air conditioning works excellent in the back seats which is so important for me since I live in Phoenix, AZ. We have the 8 passenger, so we never need to have the rear seats up and that leaves up with a lot of cargo room. It rides smooth, handles nicely and is comfortable. My only complaints are, I already had one of the motors replaced on the rear sliding door. (mine is a 2016 with 18,000 miles) Without a warranty it would have been over $1,000 at the dealership I went to. Also, The sound system is beyond cheap.. totally poor quality & there is no navigation and no power lift-gate (which I feel should be standard on a minivan) All in all my husband and I were those people that said we would never drive a mini van yet we are both bummed we didn't purchase this before we wasted money when we bought the dodge.
