This Sedona did not come with your safety and comfort in mind. First of all you cannot have the recirculated air on at the same time as your fan. So you have to endure car exhaust fumes if you take any trip. Second which is even worse, the seats are uncomfortable for traveling and there is no remedy for that because you cannot use a cushion or seat cover. If you use a seat cover or a thin pad, no matter how much you weigh it turns off your airbags making your safety at risk. This was not a smart deal. I called Kia to find out how to turn the airbag on at all times. They said you will just have to live with it.

difficult seats sorento 2017

Adjusting the seats is difficult. I did not get the powers seats and found adjusting them is very difficult and hard. You have to pump the drivers seat up to see out. I am 6 foot and still need a seat cushion. My wife, who is 5 foot can not see out the passenger window at all unless she is on 2 pillows as it has no adjustments for height. They are not that comfortable to me.

2nd Kia is holding up

I bought 2017 seater kia Sorento after my accident. It was a no brainer. My first Kia kept me safe in a roll over accident. I got a good deal on 2nd Kia. I do keep forgetting I've got that extra seating. It's MT combo car. Lots of room to haul long items w/third row seat down. My only issue is driver seat sits too close to steering wheel. I'm not a fan of being that close to steering wheel. So far, so good. It's a solid car.
