This Year's Model Updates:

Kia joins the minivan rumble with the introduction of the Sedona, the lowest-priced minivan in America. Standard on the Sedona are such niceties as air conditioning, power windows, cruise control and auto on/off headlights. Upscale EX models get a CD player, interior wood trim and power front seats. All Sedonas benefit from Kia's impressive Long Haul Warranty with drivetrain protection for 10 years or 100,000 miles.

Pros:
  • Unbeatable price, attractive array of standard goodies, great warranty package.
Cons:
  • Missing some key minivan features, engine could use more power.

    A truly amazing van! No initial problems and I am very impressed with the fit and finish, great ride, power, 5 spd. auto tranny, comfort, braking and handling. I dont understand the 15/20 mpg. I have been getting 23-25 mpg in city and highway mix and the engine is not even broken in yet. This was a wonderful surprise!

    Ive had little problems with my van at all - and Ive put it through some serious testing. Ive had great service at the service dept. and they have done way more than I ever expected. I have friends that have more problems with their Toyota Camry and GMC truck than I have with my Kia. Its our first new car and we couldnt be happier!

  • Im Thrilled with my Sedona - 2002 Kia Sedona

    The most affordable minivan with the most comfort features for the price and its a great riding vehicle as well. Many people have commented that it looks more like an SUV than a minvan. Its perfect for those family trips. We have one child and can fit all of his things and ours well. ONe of the only two minivans that has a power moonroof available as an option... That was a must for me.

  • Great Mini-Van ! Small Problem - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    This van is awesome and fun to drive. It has all the features of vans 6K more. We have 4k miles on it and no problems yet except a stress cracked windshield. We were driving on the road and heard a sound like a rock hitting the windshield. The problem is that there was no car or truck in front of us. Two 8 inch cracks appeared toward the bottom of the windshield where the defrosters lays. I am taking it to the dealer monday to see if they belive me. There is no nick or any evidence of a rock chipping where the crack starts. I have seen other reports of this problem. Besides the windshield the van is a great buy.

  • 2002 Kia Sedona - Great Value - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    Purchased Kia Sedona based upon the great price and features it offered. Most other minivans with Rear Air Conditioning (needed for young children) were around $22,000 - $24,000. Only complaint is that on the EX model, it doesnt have keyless entry and the "unlock all door" feature only works on the Driver Side door (which differs from what the owners manual says). Other than that we have been pleased with the van.

  • Kia Sedona is worth looking at - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    This is a great family van. We just recently purchased this van and we could not be happier. Luxury interior and lots of special features have surprised everyone we have shown this van to. Dont shy away from this van because of the reasonable price. It is just a great van at a great price. We now own 2 Kias (the other is a Sportage) and were very happy.

  • Why pay more? - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    After extensive study I found I could buy more value with less dollars. Why buy a name like Honda and pay $5,000 more? I still get 10 yr 100,000 mile warranty and more features.

  • First VAN - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I got this van in unreliable price with lots option. This is my first van. I had FL trip. No problems found. Running smooth & fuel average is 21 miles on highway. Dont miss to buy this van with low price & more option. dont spend more money towards other van.
