• Handling and steering response could be better, missing a few key minivan features, ABS not standard, below-average fuel mileage.

  Kia Sedona EX - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Paul F. Obenauf - July 29 - 2:10 am

  My Sedona EX is exactly the minivan that we need for our travels and hauling of personal items. Visibility is excellent, road noise is minimal and it is fun to drive. Gas mileage is very bad averaging around twenty-two mpg. All controls are perfectly placed and gauges are easy to read.

  This thing wont die! - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By eagleboyrox - April 11 - 8:23 pm

  I have an 05 Sedona and this van is surprisingly the most reliable van I have ever seen. Kias cars are crap but this van has 306,234 miles on it right now and still runs like the day it came off the showroom floor. The engine is so quiet you cant hear it run and the transmission still shifts like it should. I love the room inside and the seats are easy to remove. Ive even hauled my jetski in it a few times! I keep the oil changed with 10 w30 Mobil 1 synthetic. That may also account for the great gas mileage I get in this van. It only uses a quarter tank up and back from my house to my mothers house which is about 80 miles away as long as you keep the mph fairly steady. Keep that in mind.

  Bang for the Buck - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Edgar Viera - February 11 - 3:40 pm

  Very comfortable ride, good leg room, logical positioning of instruments, excellent a/c. Killer warranty (10 yrs/ 100,000 miles) Overall, a lot of car for little money.

  Great little van - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By INDIOSDAD - September 17 - 8:33 pm

  Got the van to transport our greyhound dogs. We have 4 of them and have found with the center row of seats out we have ample room for all the dogs. This van has been very reliable and we have had no issues with it. Have only had to perform normal maintenance on it. The ride is good, the interior design is just right, over all we find this a good vehicle that suits our needs. We only wish it got better mpg, however it does get better mpg then my wifes pt cruiser. Will buy Kia again when we need a new van.

  beware - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By trash man - August 24 - 4:03 am

  One of the first questions i asked the salesman was how did the transmissions hold up on towing!!!!! He said great havent had a problem... Well at 12000 miles even before we hooked a small pop camper to it we had to have the tranmission replaced, and from there 6 more trips to the dealer for shifter problems, eng light came on due to a trans problem....and oh yeah forgot this 18000 miles had to replace all 4 crappy YOKOHAMA tire on it!!! I think you guys can get the gas mileage up too

  Trade my Odyssey for a Kia - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Georgian - August 4 - 6:33 am

  I traded my 2002 Odyssey after the transmission was replaced 2 times. Yes there is a difference between these two vehicles but this Kia can hold its own. I brought my fully loaded and for the price, no one can touch it. I have had a few problems with my Kia but no major. I took of the tires that came with this vehicle after 13,000 mile and replaced them with some new Goodyear tires. What a difference that has made. Ride improved drastically. Look forward to the new 2006 model. From the reviews it will raise that bar.

  We love our Sedona! - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By Hartmans - June 16 - 5:00 pm

  My husband & I have an 11 mo. old daughter & wanted a van that would make our lives easier. We didnt have big bucks, but knew we wanted the works. The Sedona made it possible for us to have it all! Leather, CD/tape, DVD, sunroof, ABS, power everything, you name it. The van is "meaty" & feels safe & comfortable. Im picky about cushy seats. I do wish it had auto doors that slid open, but no big deal. I dont care that the seats dont fold into the floor. We have very versatile captains chairs & it seats 7 comfortably. Not great turning radius but everything else is fine. Some cheapy elements, knobs on controls, door handles. Everything else is A+. We love

  Satisfied - 2005 Kia Sedona
  By kat - June 1 - 3:46 am

  We purchased this vehicle to replace one that was getting old and was starting to need a lot of maintenance. We werent necessarily looking for a minivan but found one we thought wed like to test drive. The dealer let us have it over night and we were very impressed with the Sedona. The warranty package was very important and we also liked what we were getting in the vechicle for the price. I think we made a good choice in the Sedona. I would have liked the anti-lock brakes to come on the base model and for the take off from a stop to not be so sluggish but other than that I really enjoy owning my Sedona.
