"I love my Sedona. It's comfortable, drives great, just a great car. I would highly recommend it. I don't agree with the bad reviews. This car is excellent. And, for half the price of a Honda. Worth not paying that much to look into buying a Sedona."

"WE TESTED THIS VEHICLE, AND I SAID TO MY WIFE , I'M IN LOVE. THE POWER AND HANDLING IS THERE. THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT IN THIS VEHICLE, IS OPTIONAL WITH THE OTHERS MINIVANS IN THE MARKET. THE DEAL I GOT WAS GOOOOD, THEY TOOK MY TRADE-IN FOR $2000 PLUS $4500 ON REBATES, AND NO DOWN PAYMENT, WHERE YOU CAN GET A FULL EQUIP ,BRAND NEW 10/100 WARRANTY FOR $14820 AFTER THE DISCOUNTS? IF YOU DO LET ME KNOW"

"This is a wonderful van, it drives so smooth and is so easy to handle on the road...The only draw back right now is we have had our Sedona in the shop now for 3 weeks for the callback on the 2004 Sedona EX, and we are still waiting on the parts to arrive from Korea and the dealers have no idea when that will be. Kia is suppose to rank high in customer satisfaction but has failed in this area. They were not prepared with the needed parts for this callback. I hope this is not how it will be in the future if the van needs parts. If you own a Sedona check for callbacks it's for your safety!"

"My husband and I were looking for a couple of months before we found the Kia Sedona. We originally were going to get a used Kia Sedona LX, Red color. We changed our minds when we started seriously looking. Then we wanted a Sage Green LX. We settled for a brand new 2005 Kia Sedona EX with all the options. We are very satisfied with this vehicle. It performs well, looks sharp and is very comfortable to drive. This vehicle is one of the best for safety, features and affordability. We had been looking at the Honda Odyssey, but we weren't willing to pay the full sticker price as we were paying cash and not financing not even refinancing the house. The Kia Sedona is about 6 inches shorter than that of its competitors. But does not seem to be a problem. We have 3 kids of our own, so we had requested the rear DVD entertainment system. This vehicle is fully loaded and we were able to order right off the boat. With their 10/10,000 mile drivetrain warranty and the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty, roadside assistance plus the loyalty card we received from the dealer--we just couldn't go wrong. We are planning two trips right now to go to the Northwest and the Midwest. Anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable and dependable vehicle(with kids) needs to take a serious look at this Korean import.
We would definitely buy another vehicle from this Manufactu
re again as well as the dealership(Weston Kia in Gresham, Ore.) again. This is not your mothers mini-van!!Kudos to all!!"

"This is our second Sedona. We had a 2002 and the only real problems were the brakes(rotors wearing quickly), and the door latches not working when extremely cold. We traded that one in for a 2005. It is more or less the same van, and have been very pleased overall. On this van the brakes again had to be turned at 38,000 KMS. VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ- My mechanic from Speedy stated that the biggest mistake peolpe make when taking thier vehicles back to the dealership to get servicing done, is that they do not adjust and clean the rear brakes. He states they can come out of adjustment qiute easily and when working properly they should perform 25% of the braking. My rear drum brakes were out of adjustment badly enough to provide only 10% of the braking. Thus putting most of the energy on the front rotors. He suggests that I should be able to get double the life out of my front rotors by doing a brake cleaning and adjustment twice a year. Also USE THE TRANSMISSION AND GEAR DOWN GOING DOWN HILLS. This will extend the life of your brakes dramatically."
