This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the Sedona has a revised grille with a larger logo. The EX model has a new alloy wheel design, while the LX has redesigned plastic wheel covers. A center tray table with cupholders is now standard on both EX and LX.

Pros:
  • Excellent value, roomy interior with lots of cupholders and storage bins, solid build quality, lengthy warranty coverage.
Cons:
  • Below-average gas mileage, missing a few key minivan features, potentially expensive to repair in minor collisions.

  • love both of my sedona - 2004 Kia Sedona

    We have two Sedonas and I love them both. I bought a third for our church. They are the best value of any vehicle on the market. You get more than you pay for.

  • Still going strong at 120,000 miles. - 2004 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I have previously posted here as FRUGAL DRIVER (see below). This van, bought in 07 with 64K, is still going strong as a half ton hauler and work van. Today its going 750 miles (and back in three days) in my wifes hands to take KID MARK I to university for the first time. Had a/c fixed--damage inflicted on a hose by an idiot. Now that the OBAMA CAFE rules have effectively removed small pickups (Chev 10, Ford Ranger) & the old vans (ASTRO etc) from the US market, what are you doing to drive? This van will haul a half ton well. It takes abuse if you maintain it well. Drive it gently. This vehicle was originally built as a light truck for the S. Korean Army (02-06 model). Its tuff.

  • best mini van on market - 2004 Kia Sedona

    The overall design of this mini van was well thought out. There are so many little "cubbie" spots to put stuff. This must have been designed by a mom. Everything is so conveneient

  • The big three better watch their back! - 2004 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I have always owned GM vehicles and have been disappointed with reliability especially in the pedal bounce that I get after only 15K miles. Of course I would rather have a two seat roadster in the garage but that is not going to haul the things important to me. This vehicle is a great value and a great ride. I am a quality engineer by trade and I looked closely into this vehicle before buying and when you compare the quality (equal or better on Kia) and price, it is hands down the best choice.

  • Its a great Minivan - 2004 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I have had my Kia Sedona for about 9 months now and am delighted with it. Had a "buick century" before but a minivan is much more fun to drive. You sit up so much "higher" and can see the road. Fit and amenities are excellant. Best buy for the money.

  • Ok for new van - 2004 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I traded a 1990 Dodge gran caravan for the red 2004 lx Kia Sedona. Found it roomy for its smaller size. Plenty of storage compartments and the am/FM/cd player was great extra power outlets helpful for charging cell phones etc found the 3.5 6 cyl to be fast and the overdrive trans well suited the vans performance, but fuel mpg was rate 16 Im lucky to get 13 city 16 hwy Cruise control works well saves fuel on long trips. In four years of ownership have had to replace the fuel pump. Front brakes. Alternator, battery, front heater fan, all covered by the warranty except the brakes. Dealer maintenance is high over length of warranty 10 yrs 100,000 miles, paint has held up well except around the door handles

  • 2004 kia sedona ex - 2004 Kia Sedona
    By -

    just bought a new sedona with all the bells and whistles as a gift for my wife. had some problems with the service dept. at dealer from options i had installed. vehicle rides great and the leather seats are comfortable. rearview eyesight is hindered if dvd player is in use while driving making side mirrors a top priority. for a van of this weight it has good acceleration and handles well for the type driving we do. engine always seems to be in right gear. interior noise level is a little bit higher than expected, but playing the radio helps to block some of that out. door handles could seem a bit more sturdy and not have that could break any moment feel. overall love our new kia sedona ex...

    Sedona holds road just fine Interior has lots of goodies including first aid kit under seat. Only problem is fuel consumption. On 1600 mile trip to Fla averaged 15 MPG.

  • 2004 Kia Sedonna Review - 2004 Kia Sedona
    By -

    I currently have 13,000 miles on this vehicle and have had virtually no problems with it. I love the ride and functionality of this van. It is on par with any other van on the market and at a much better price.
