    KIAs hold up

    I just purchased this KIA, lightly used, only 24500 miles. I had a 2008 KIA before this one, it served well for the 13 years that I owned it. Before that I owned a '94 Dodge Caravan and a '98 Town and Country. Chrysler makes prettier vehicles, but KIAs hold up. My last KIA had plenty of life left, but I got t-boned so hard the car flipped over! Praise the Lord, I walked away from that wreck! The car didn't make it, so I got another one. I was tempted by the Dodge GC, but ultimately, I trust KIA more. This KIA is spiffier than my old one, but I miss the simple, open design of the old one. The "safety tech" is more annoying than helpful, but it rides well, feels solid and well made. Overall: satisfied.

    Comfy

    This car is perfect for our growing family. You feel like you are in an SUV when you see in the driver’s seat and the exterior styling reflects that as well. You can’t beat the price and quality of the vehicle.

    Good choice

    Value for the money.The KIA Sedona is always overlooked by the auto magazine writers, it’s a good value and better buy than Toyota or Honda and Chrysler.Great visibility while driving and seats area comfortable and supportive. Legroom is good even in the 3rd row.

    great styling and tech

    Test drove other vehicle but settled on the Sedona SXL. Great van loaded with features and tech. Easy to drive and very comfortable. Slightly under powered but no slouch either. Kids love the car and enjoy the versatility.

    Best family vehicle we have ever owned

    This car is stylish and has plenty of room. I have 3 boys and they are all over 6ft y’all and they have plenty of leg room. The van is also very fuel efficient.

    This is the best van I have owned!!!!

    This van has performed flawlessly and the gas mileage far exceeded my expectations. The seating is great as with four grandchildren they all fit comfortably. This vehicle has traveled over 40,000 miles in roughly two years and performed great. I would highly recommend one.

    2nd Gen Sedona Great. 3rd Gen Starting Off Good

    Just a few small luxury electronic issues with my 220k 2nd gen Sedona EX. ALWAYS reliable with low operating costs: replace pitted headlights, windshield, brake pads etc. Retired because of accident. Replacement 3rd Gen EX has more luxury touches but sadly fixed 3rd row windows and non-removable 2nd row seats. Known to have even fewer issues. Both Sedonas sensitive to tire qualities so buy the higher quality/quieter tires. History:Both Sedonas had superior build and materials qualities in comparison to my 1997 Chrysler T&C who maxed out at 155k.
