Looks better than what it is
It was cheaper than a mini van in its class but you get what you pay for. First it has no navigation system and it is the upgraded model. The gas mileage on it is horrible, there is a lot of road noise as well. The stereo system is sub par as well.

Shake Rattle and Roll
Between the highway noise and the rattling it is the worse car we have ever owned. We owned it for a little over a year and put on 17 K miles (mostly highway miles.) Went to trade it in at a Kia dealer and lost over $15K in value. Was looking to trade back to a Sorento which we had and traded in for this vehicle. As far as options goes it has it all. Would never own another Sedona.

Get ready for a very noisy ride
Very disappointed in the ride. On the highway the tire and wind noise is so great that you need to blast it out with the radio. It shakes and rattles like a used 10K vehicle. At 13,000 mile had to have brake rotors turned. Worst Mini Van we ever purchased.

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.

Soccer Mom
We purchased this van in 2015 when we had our third baby and realized our 5 seater Sorento wasn't cutting it. I loved this van for the ease of getting small kids in and out. It's a smooth ride, we have taken many road trips in our van, NY to FL, NY to TN, NY to VT. This thing is comfortable, reliable and is a great vehicle for families. It has plenty of room for the 5 of us and all our things when we road trip. We use it to cart around kids to and from sports, school and friends. I plan on having it until it dies. I have had zero issues with it, just regular maintenance and we have about 75,000 miles on it so far.
