Wish I had gotten the Chrysler

This was the second Sedona I owned. I never had any trouble with it and I know I put 29,000 miles on it driving back and forth to Dallas, Texas from Martin, TN 3 times this year. I just needed to downsize, so I traded it in.

Safest Mini Van at Affodable Price

I?m amazed at the pick-up. It?s rated highest in safety. Well priced! Overall, a great mini van with backup camera and Bluetooth. I had an accident on a previous Sedona and it kept me safe, so I bought another!

Good value.

Dated design at the time I bought it new in 2012. (Fresh design in 2015). A bit more crude than my prior 1999 Odyssey in terms of engine noise, wind noise and seating comfort, but engine is strong and the car has been reliable through the first 65,000 miles. Bought for value with intent to keep it through its 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty and so far I have not been disappointed.

2012 Kia Sedona LX - good van for the $$

Bought this van new in 2011 & it's been a solid performer with very few issues in almost 100k miles. Got the LX model to keep it simple (Plus there were big $ differences between levels at that time). Liked the warranty & value for the price I paid. Van still runs strong & handles great in all weather conditions once I replaced the stock Kuhmo tires. Kept the original brakes until just over 90k miles. Very happy with my choice & don't regret it at all!

Terrific Family car

Incredible value family car. Seats 7, strong and smooth engine (6cyl 3.5lt) very reliable and safe, everything automatic (side doors, back door, seats etc.) Back up camera. Fully air conditioned (separate controls for back). This is the car you want if you have a large family.

This van was just what I was looking for but four

I love it, it's comfortable, roomy, has the power I need and is more up to date with options I needed as well. All this at a decent price.

Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned

This has been and continues to be a great vehicle. Outstanding quality and no major repairs in 6 years or in the 120,000 miles driven. Just the routine scheduled maintenance . Over the years, I have owned other types of vehicles but nothing compares to the quality of Kia.
