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.

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.

My Sport Luxury Van

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

I bought my Sedona with 71k miles on it about 5 months ago. The Sedona was very clearly the best handling of the 3 or 4 major minivans. Probably because I think it's the only one with a rear anti roll bar so it corners somewhat flatter. It was reasonably fast. It didn't look as bulbous and large as the other minivans. I was going to throw a set of Telluride 20" rims and tires on it because that upgrade did wonders for my old SUV's handling but I realized that every situation I've threw at it- cloverleafs, sweepers, mountain passes, windy back roads- the Sedona didn't ever really need more grip even on somewhat worn tires. So I stuck with the 18s and kept the nice ride comfort. What was a revelation was the interior- I'm in love with it. Every convenience I could want is present except adaptive cruise control because I bought an SX which didn't have the tech package. Its a nice to have. The kicker was it didn't have CarPlay from the factory but I read online that Kia offered a free upgrade, which I did the first night of ownership. I actually knocked $500 off the price because "the infotainment was outdated" and the seller agreed. I've put 9000 miles on it so far and coming up on it's first major service with me. no issues so far. I really like this minivan. color, features, performance, price, etc. It was the best combination and as it turned out, it was almost half the price of what people were asking for 2016 Odysseys and Siennas with similar miles. I think people who had poorer views of this van probably didn't choose a high enough trim to be honest.

Have the Sedona for about a year. No issues whatsoever. I only drive or on weekends, my wife drives it everyday and we both love it. You can get a great deal on Sedona because it doesn't sell as well as Honda or Toyota. Make sure to negotiate the price. Besides the best value for what you get it Sedona doesn't feel like you are driving a minivan, the interior and height makes it more like a SUV. The EX gives you great options. I only wished it had front sensors also to help with parking. The only other thing I would have liked is the fuel efficiency. The big engine uses a lot of gas. I get about 18mpg on average but I do like the power of the engine. If you have little kids minivan with power sliding doors is the best option. You won't be disappointed.

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.
