  would buy again - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By two time kia owner - December 9 - 3:30 pm

  this is a good buy for anybody the price more than makes up for the missing features of the higher priced vehicles and you cant beat the warranty cause heaven knows if you need a minivan you cant afford emergency repairs easily.

  I love my KIA in every way but one.... - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By liz - November 23 - 8:46 am

  I wish it were a little bit larger. We have three children so a car would not work for us. A larger suv is not very cost effective when it comes to price or fueling up and running errands. So for something that has 7 passenger seating, is economical in price, and gas cost, the Kia Sedona is perfect! I only long for a place to pack a stroller, diaper bag, groceries (enough for a family of 5), and of course the kids!

  Very roomy, easy to maneuver. Seats are very easy to take out and are on rollers if you cannot carry them. Gas mileage could be better but is ok, seats are very comfortable with plenty of leg room for everyone.

  Had better - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By richard - October 22 - 3:33 am

  The vehicle is fine for hauling kids around and on trips. It has a very nice interior - leather seats, moon roof, stereo system and more compartments to stow stuff than a chipmunks cheeks. I do not like the overall reliability of the vehicle and subsequent dealer service. I feel that for a vehicle with less than 40k miles on it we have had too many problems. Also the dealer service departments seem to be lost when fixing this vehicle sometimes.

  So Sad Sedona - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By familyof7 - October 12 - 5:53 am

  We bought the Sedona with only 14 miles on it hoping it would be a vehicle to depend on should my husband ever get deployed. Lo and behold I was moving home from NC to UT and it died at highway speeds just before Albuquerque NM. Weird I thought for a van that only has 17000 miles on it. Turned off the key turned it back on drove a mile or two and again...it died. I about got hit by several semi trucks that travel the I-40 west. This is not a reliable vehicle. It was towed three times before they found the problem and that was because we sat at the dealership and told them how to fix it. They replaced four blown fuses, fixed a throttle cable recall, and ended up replacing computer.

  Best bye buck for buck - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Richard Knowles - October 9 - 2:36 am

  I think Kia went the extra mile on there Sedona. Every avalable space inside has a purpose with three glove compartments and a safe, cup holders ,C D holder,etc.With the V6- 5 speed this van has plenty of power.Handles very well in the snow and has a passing gear at 60 miles per hour that you still have power to pass on the highway.The only thing Kia could do better for this van is to inprove the gas mileage.

  Impressive - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Josh - September 8 - 11:36 pm

  I absolutely love my van. It looks so sleek and nice on the outside and the leather interior on the inside is easy cleanup. The sunroof is also great. Wonderful van for the money. Very happy!

  Happy overall - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Satisfied owner - September 5 - 4:56 am

  Ive had my Sedona for over 3 years and have never had a brake problem as others are saying. The only persistent problem is that the interior light doesnt always come on when I open the door. If I play with the switch, it works for a while and then stops working again. The dealer hasnt been able to find any problem. The only other comment is that it doesnt have a great turning radius. I was used to compact cars and sedans. I drive over 40 miles round trip daily. I am getting 20 miles per gallon! I think thats pretty good for a large vehicle. My next minivan however will be stow-n-go seats and power side doors.

  Not so good after all.... - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Aaron - August 14 - 3:10 am

  My wife and I bought our Kia new in 05 with the hope that we were getting a decent vehicle...WRONG! Overall its okay. However, the rear brakes make a groaning noise that the dealer cant seem to fix. The horn works intermittently. Every so often the A/C stops working. There is not as much cargo room as I had initially hoped. Unless you are a child, getting into the back seat requires you to be a contortionist. The paint must be the lowest quality possible, it gets scratched just by looking at it. The fuel mileage isnt horrid, but you can get comparable mileage from a Suburban. Which is what we are looking into trading in for. Do yourself a favor, avoid Kia.
