  Best Minivan weve owned - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By CAS - September 18 - 11:46 pm

  This thing really moves. The double power sliding doors, and the stow and go seating has been awesome. We bought ours with 58k miles, and weve put on 11k. So far not a hint of troubles. Weve had a five vans in our child raising years, and this one blows the others out of the water.

  Very Noisy Cabin - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By R.S. - November 9 - 10:00 am

  The ride is rigid and the cabin is extremely noisy (unlike other reviews seen here). Other than that it is a decent, practical vehicle but is is hard to get past the noise.

  Good Price, LT reliability TBD - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By NYC - November 4 - 6:56 am

  Sedona is a lower initial cost minivan vs. competition. The 10yr/100K warranty provides some insurance if you are concerned about Kias long term reliability. The Sedona is a great family minivan; functional. Very powerful engine, smooth drive, shifts well. You can buy a new 2008 LX for under $16K with negiotiating. I drove Hondas for years, still do, but the Sedona pricing was too good to pass up. I need to have $7K in repairs to break even with purchasing a Honda or Toyota. Great value.

  Excellent Value - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By Hskr - October 19 - 5:23 pm

  Bought with the Luxury package. Everything but DVD. Fully loaded at the price ($20K) of most competitive models that were 2 years old. With warranty, roadside, etc, hard to go wrong.

  Best van I have ever owned. - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By Jerry - September 11 - 1:35 pm

  Best seats and ride. I can drive 350 miles and my back doesnt hurt. I am 82 years old! The controls are very convenient. All in all this is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have had many. Minnesota owner.

  VERY Glitchy Electronics, very good Driving - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By Kris S..... - April 27 - 12:25 pm

  Headlights keep blowing due to faulty connectors to bulbs, power doors open/wont open randomly, 2-driver auto seat controls are a fantastic idea with horribly failed execution. Im tall and the car randomly squishes me up to my short wifes positions and I have to readjust EVERY part of seat position and mirror settings. Memory seat setting buttons forget the settings. CD player died (after 8 years). All that said, the driving experience is great, good power and road feel for a vehicle this size. Seats (esp 6-way power drivers) are very comfortable. Easily carries 2 bikes and gear to races w 4 people. Crams in 4 bikes and people with more bike dissasembly. Goes fine in snow w good tires. Great veh for long family trips or short hauls w lots of stuff. NO problems at all with the OEM sunroof. A/C and heat are both really good. Love the heated seats. At 116k miles now my mechanic says it needs a new steering rack (leaking) and power steering pump (killed by leaking steering rack.) Over $2,000 repair bill. Yikes. I dont recall the price we paid, but do remember we saved thousands over Honda and Toyota competing versions.

  Minivan vs Suburban - 2008 Kia Sedona
  By Mrs. M - April 7 - 3:00 am

  Weve always had SUVs since we started our family. But decided to downsize from our 07 Suburban to this minivan. I was kinda sad b/c the Suburban looked "cooler" but WOW! I love this car and so does my husband. We have 4 small children and the Sedona is hands down the most convenient and comfortable auto weve had. I love almost everything about it. Almost. There are only a couple things to bring up. The interior cloth is cheap looking. Wish we got the leather. And although it seats 7,if you have to seat 5 kids I wouldnt recommend this car for you. The back bench seat is narrow so 3 kids in the back is tight. And the poor kid who has the middle gets an uncomfortable seatbelt
