I have 2 Sedonas prior that I loved. It was time for a trade in, the Sedona was disconnected and replaced with the Carnival. It looked beautiful and had great safety features. After extensive searching in my state I found one and purchased it. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn’t have. I believe I am over 10 recalls. It’s drives crappy, you hit 70 and it shakes every time. Chimes are always false going off distracting me from driving. Radio volume has gone down for no reason since shortly after owning the car, they can’t find any problems. Less than 25,000 miles in we see antifreeze on the outside of the molding unit and it low but when checked out they say there is no leak. About 6 months ago I turned on the AC and this awful musty smell started coming out for the first couple of minutes. This also occurres when the heat is on. I was told today it’s the cabin filter and it needs an AC flush, $250- not covered. It’s at 25,000. I had 100,000 on my last 2 Kia’s, never had this problem and never had to go this. I want to love this car but the list of issues go on. The last 2 Kia’s I owned were the best so I thought I was going to have the same experience with the third, disappointing.

We have had our Carnival for about 6 months. I love it!! It is my favorite car ever and I was a Ford Explorer fan before. It is so comfortable and rides like a dream. We can comfortably carry 8 adults with no problems. It has plenty of power and still gets 25-27 MPG around town. The seating configuration is amazing the way they lay down or come out. Being able to see the back while driving is a definite plus, carrying grand babies. And it even becomes its own WiFi spot! The warranty is unbeatable and the service is so good. Highly recommend!!!

15k miles so far and the Carnival has performed great. We purchased the LX model with cloth seats and without the seat package. We prefer cloth over leather. The engine is very powerful and smooth. Tons of space in all three rows. My neice who is "too cool for minivans" dropped her jaw when she saw all the space when the third row folded into the floor. She has one child now but I think I converted her to a minivan(MPV) fan! We have a 2004 Odyssey as well with 185k miles. Minivans for life! That's how we roll.
