2005 Kia Sedona consumer reviews

I purchased a 2005 Sedona with 10,000 back in 2006. I have had it about 1 1/2 yrs. it has 46,000 miles. We are having tansmission problems (no problem we have this great warrenty right. THINK AGAIN). We have taken it to a Kia dealer twice (drove it once, towed it once). Computer says something happened the 2nd time just not sure what. Dealer says keep driving it, it if haoppens again bring it back. Yea, i'm going to keep driving it alright. Right to the Toyota dealership that gives me the best trade in value.

So, when we went minivan shopping, we looked at literally 10-12 vehicles, and finally decided on the brand Kia after much debate. The warranty backs up the drivetrain, which helped to reduce our worries about driving a fairly new brand/Korean brand. It's big enough and has enough power to be used to haul the high school football team, as well as preschoolers. Overall, not a luxury vehicle, but for less than 22k who can complain?

I like to compare the interior of my sedona ex 2005 kia to the Bmw interior/wood trim,leather cd stereo and dash layout.Bought new on lot in 2006 with only 5miles on odometer for $19,500.00.I've recently at 28,000 miles installed a k&n performance air filter and 5w30 castrol syntec 1/2 synthetic engine oil and have increased my average town and highway miles from 17mpg to 20 mpg.Only problem was at 11,000miles it needed new pads and rotors from my stopping all 4800 lbs of van to quickly and warping rotors.Changed my slowing stops and now 17,000 miles later still no warped rotors or bad pads.Kia at 12,000miles replaced an emission part and gas cap to wipe out a check engine light for good.Van is tight and reponsive, high winds don't budge it on the road like most lighter vans.Recently with stood 60 mph wind gusts on wide open highways.5 star safety is worth a couple extra miles per gal for my family of 4 to be safe. Kia has a lot of van and for a very reasonable price. We need to wake up Gm,Ford and Chrysler and learn to compete for price and quality.

Best for the money, A no frills but not bare bones mini van. Too bad they made the 2006 bigger driving the price up. The slightly smaller 2005 and before made the great value. I'm glad we purchase the 2005 Kia.

very disappointed. breaks are going out had to replace tires due to bad alignment when we purchased. but kia made us pay for the allignment even though the car was like that with only 10 miles on it. kia doesn't take care of customer.

This minivan is perfect for my family and what I need it for. It handles great and I have never had a problem. I have a big family and the space inside is amazing. Plus the 10 year warranty that comes with the vehicle guarentees satisfaction.
