Price Paid:  $21780.00 from Vancouver B.C.

Year / Model Reviewed:
2009 Kia Sedona

Strengths:
Good performance at a low price. Other owners are satisfied with their Kia products, and family members have returned to Kia for second vehicle purchases.

Weaknesses:
Aft quarter windows only open 3 inches. Tailgate not power operated.

Summary:
Good value for money spent. Bought this Sedona new in Richmond. Roomy, and well appointed. Excellent turning radius for ease of parking. Much better quality than domestic products. Less expensive than Honda or Toyota, but same features. Good air conditioning.

2008 Kia Sedona LX

Strengths:
Acceleration!!!!! DVD system is a must with kids. Nothing like a long road trip and not one child asking, "how much longer?" Also the 3 zone climate control.

Weaknesses:
Fuel economy, cheap interior knobs and dash.

Summary:
So far so good! I have read and heard mixed reviews on this vehicle and brand. We got a great deal and could not pass up on this one! We did pay the extra $1600.00 for the additional warranty which goes from 5 years or 60k miles up to the full 10 year 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty! Figured if the negative things we have heard were true, at least we would have a great warranty to back us up! I will keep updating as I have the vehicle longer.

2008 Kia Sedona LX

Strengths:
Roomy, lots of leg room in front and back, air conditioner vents and controls in back as well as front, stow away back seats. 60,000 mile warranty , solid doors, well built. Supposedly priced lower than other vans like Honda and Toyota.

Weaknesses:
Dealer mark up.

Summary:
Just bought a brand new Kia Sedona LX. We love the roomy van. We had a Mazda 5 and found it too small for three growing children. We also love the fact that the back has its own air conditioner controls. We felt we got a pretty good price but had to haggle a lot at the dealer. They wanted $29,000. we got it for $26,000. out the door.

Year / Model Reviewed:
2007 Kia Sedona EX

Strengths:
Smooth ride that is nice and spacious.

Weaknesses:
In the shop for mostly electrical repairs ALL the time.

Summary:
Bought the vehicle because it beat out the Honda Odyssey for safety. Appeared to have gotten a "good deal," as the loaded Sedona was less expensive than the base model Odyssey. Less than one year later and we average one repair/month (mostly electrical)! Yes it has a great warranty, but you need it! I'm glad we don't have to pay for the repairs, but it's still very inconvenient and getting old. They are not always able to "locate the problem" which is also quite frustrating.
