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.

  • Great Mini Van - 2002 Kia Sedona

    We were thinking of buying a new van and on the first day out we drove the Kia and signed the papers that evening. I had already gone out on the web and investicated the different vans and prices. The ride and comfort of the Sedona was great and made our decision for us. It was also nice that it had a five star crash rating. Also the factory warranty of 10 years or 100,000 miles was a great incentive.

    Cant say enough good about it. Bought in FL on trip. Dont like to buy cars away from home. Dealers tend to give better service if bought from them. Will see if KIA like that tomorrow. Have a "stress crack" in windshield. No, not a rock hitting it. Will see if the dealer tries to say road harzard for my insurance company to handle.

  • whats not to like - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    We have just over 1800 miles on our EX and it has never been in the shop. Regular oil changes and by-hand washes is all it has needed. The low end torque is great. The weight, which hurts the gas mileage sure helps it hold the road well. This is one solid, inexpensive hauler. And, those who get a ride in it praise the leather and other conveniences.

  • Good, But Could Be Improved - 2002 Kia Sedona

    Called Kia Roadside Assistance 3 times for dead battery, finally the dealer replaced the lumbar switch. Battery would go dead if vehicle sat more than 5 days; I dont know if the problem is fixed yet. Windshield cracked and was replaced promptly. No hassels with roadside assistance and dealer warrranty work. Rear glove box door keeps popping open. Took cross-country trip Dec 2003, MPG averaged O/A 21 MPG @ 62 MPH average; ride was comfortable, handeled well. Rear seats are hard to get into. Interior componets seem durable. Since corporate America is sending jobs overseas, this retired 20- year Army veteran tries to avoid purchasing from American companies.

  • Value A++ - 2002 Kia Sedona

    In comparison,being that you cant touch a minivan from one of the BIG 3 for under 34K, makes a loaded EX a great value! We got everything that was offered except two-tone paint and the rear spoiler,and we paid $32,100.00 including tax and all.

  • Excellent Value - 2002 Kia Sedona
    By -

    We were determined to by a domestic van when we heard about Kias 5 year warrantee. Having not seen a Sedona, our curiousity lead us to our local Kia dealer. We liked the look so I proceeded to take a deeper look. The underbody is much beefier and the quality finish and feel, inside & out, was most impressive; as good as any other we seen out there. And to top it all a fully loaded unit at several thousands of dollars less than a competitors equivalently loaded unit! We purchased our EX 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it. It is comfortable, roomy, handles well and the engine powerful. Surprisingly, we achieved 22.5 mpusg, 50/50 city and highway in our 1st 650 miles of engine breakin!
