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

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!

Kia Sedona-top safety pick and most reliable mini

Bought a 2017 Kia Sedona LX plus in October 2018. Best vehicle I ever owned !!! The Kia Sedona is rated the most reliable minivan since 2015 by Consumer reports. It's also a top safety pick according to IIHS. A real winner ! The Sedona looks like a giant SUV , drives like a car and you feel like you're sitting in a tall pickup truck. The driver sits very high in this vehicle. The gas mileage in a suburban area like the South Shore of Long Island is about 16 MPG. 16 MPG stopping at a light every 1/4 mile -1/2 mile and stop signs every other block. Alot of stop and go driving and the mileage isn't so good. Get on the highway and I got up to 29 mpg on trips to upstate NY. Very mountaneous in NY. Getting 29 mpg in a vehicle this size is amazing ! I traded in a 2016 Jeep Patriot and the Sedona gets about the same gas mileage. The Sedona can tow up to 3500 pounds and I got the Sedona to tow a 16 foot boat and a 25 hp motor and alot of fishing gear. I also got it for camping trips ( the only type of vehicle you can comfortably sleep in the back ) and to carry alot of hunting gear. Roll the seats up and it's the most comfortable vehicle on the road. this car is very comfortable on long rides . I have the apple carplay and android radio. It's about 7 inchs wide. Excellent radio . Make sure you check the safety ratings before you buy a van. The Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town and country have poor frontal car protection ( small overlap test ) and are dangerous. Go to IIHS.com and see the difference between the Sedona and those vans. The Sedona is way more safe ! The Toyota Seinna got a marginal rating. The Sedona is a top safety pick. The Sedona is the most reliable mini van since 2015, the Chrysler Pacificia has average reliability. The seats fold very nice and out of the way and are very comfortable. I have leather seats and the workmanship is very good. High class mini van. No complaints. It's the ultimate SUV and way more versatile than a pickup truck. I'm single and I thought about buying a pickup truck . A pickup is good if you work on a farm, tow 10,000 pounds or you work in a trade, but I didn't need a pickup for the things I do. I wanna tow a boat, carry hunting and fishing gear and maybe sleep in the back on a solo trip to upstate NY . I bought a vehicle for my needs, not for my image. I got family to ferry around and only a minivan could do that. Today I picked up 5 apple trees about 10 feet tall and they all went inside . Incredible cargo capacity.The dashboard is well rounded and very attractive. The other vans look very odd inside. The Sedona looks like a car inside and everything is well laid out. Nothing clunky. It's great having the 8 passenger version with the center seat. I push it down to use the cup holders. I make hotdogs for my passengers in my portable oven and they sit and watch movies with the dvd players . It's like a jet plane. I'm buying vans for the rest of my life. Just love them! I'm from the baby boom generation ( late boomer ) when vans and station wagons were cool in the 1970's. I was in Boy Scouts in the 1970's and the whole troop would all get in a couple of vans ( Ford, Chevrolet) and 30 kids could fit inside with their camping gear and we'd drive to summer camp for 2 weeks. Those vans and conversion vans were great but they were too commercial looking and boxy. The mini van is way better looking and almost the same cargo. Consider buying a minivan on Carvana . Good prices and they give you a great trade in. No haggling if everything is truthful. Paid $20,300 for the LX with 32,000 miles. Bought Carvana care that will give me bumper to bumper coverage until 92,000 miles or 5 years. Cost $1900. I don't understand why people are complaining about the gas mileage in the Sedona ? Are you people driving like Goggles Pizzano ? I loaded up my 2017 Kia Sedona with 450 pounds of people, 20 gallons of gas and about 500 pounds of gear, food etc. I drove from Long Island to upstate NY thru the mountains and averaged about 27 mpg on the highway. It was 29.2 mpg on the mpg gauge for a good deal of the way before I got caught in weekend traffic closer to NYC on the way home. You take your foot off the gas pedal and it cuts off gas to the engine . Modern cars are designed that way now. A lot of coasting in the mountain areas. I think Toyota and the Chrysler Pacifica get the same gas mileage as the Sedona does on the highway. I'm easily getting 28 mpg on the highway and it's the Pacifica's top figure.

The interior is sharp and comfy and the exterior is less of a van appearance and closer resembles a cross over. You step on the gas and it goes! My only disappointment is that Kia is slow to create a vehicle with remote start which the competition has at similar trim levels. The trunk space is fantastic just wish it has stow and go seating option. I like the option for an 8th passenger.
