    I purchased my 2005 Kia Sedona a month ago and have just been more than pleased with the vehicle. My first priority was that it was safe and it received 5-star safety ratings. My next concern was affordability. I couldnt even touch a comparable mini-van for what Im paying for my Kia. Overall, I am thrilled!

    A lot of minivan for the buck. Kia is motivated to compete and it shows. Common sense features + extras. Nice to drive. Well designed. Happy with it.

    We love it....the room inside is amazing and the storage areas are plenty. The engine runs so smooth and it dosent make much noise when it is running. I have driven this van as much in one month than I drove our car in two years! The gas mileage is so-so..but we did come from a V4 car where we could drive for weeks on a tank of gas. Overall, I would recommend the Kia Sedona to anyone. We have purchased a lot of automobile for a low price.......Go buy one today!!

    I wanted a mini-van due to having children and the fact that I love to travel. The Sedona is a great deal for the money. The only other mini-van I really liked was almost $10,000 more than the Sedona. It made the choice pretty simple. I got a DVD player installed for only $1200. I got everything I wanted for a great price.

    Powerful , able to tow rated loads, but watch out, tranny spits metal powder after any steady towing,be sure to change the fluid evry 10,000 miles like they say!! I have 50,000 miles on mine and it works well.

    I have owned 6 brand new vehicles and this has to be worse than the 15 year old Subaru I got rid of that had 235,000 miles on it. I can not think of any positive feedback for this vehicle. The warranty is only good if the manufacturer will fix/repair the problems.

    My passanger doors are difficult to open for children & tend to stick. And a few big blind spots because of the rear head rests...however I love to drive my KIA I traded it in from a Voyager & the POWER is awesome! I got the cloth seats, didnt want the leather, but got every other option including the sun roof..the seats are comfortable, the sound system is as my 8yr old says AWESOME. I would buy another tomorrow if I could.

  • Its been a pleasure - 2005 Kia Sedona

    I purchased my Sedona w/ only 12 miles on it. Now it has over 67,000 miles. Ive taken it on many road trips and have been disappointed w/ the storage space. If youre thinking of this van,definitely opt for the luggage rack. But i have to give it credit for reliability. Ive maintained the oil changes like the dealership suggested and i have NEVER had any problems in the overall performance. The gas mileage could be better but that goes for most vehicles w/ 6 cylinders.

  • Awesome! - 2005 Kia Sedona

    We wnet from an entry level SUV to the Sedona. NO COMPARISON! The Sedona was less to purchase and MUCH more in comfort. It is roomy with a number of great features. Such as the power seats, ability to remove seats and haul "stuff", leg room, captains seats in second row and a very quiet ride!
