2005 KIA Sedona

Pros: Comfortable, Warranty, Features

Cons: Air Conditioning

The Bottom Line: The ultimate people mover that has great ride quality.

Review: I am still traumatized by my youth, as I have bad memories when it comes to minivans. My only mode of transportation back in high school was my Dad's sedan(Awesome), and my Mom's minivan.(Not so cool) There were many occasions, especially in the summer, ...

Pros: Cost, reliability, power, storage compartments, style

Cons: Rear visibility, small "trunk" space, hard to get to 3rd row, tough on rotors/brakes

The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle because it is reliable, safe, stylish, and economical.

Review: My wife and I bought a 2005 Kia Sedona EX in April of 2005. So far, we have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle. It perfoms well, gets decent gas mileage, has a great look to it, rides very comforatably, and of course comes with the best manufacturer's ...

Pros: Spacious, easy to drive, quiet

Cons: little "trunk"

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this minivan because it is a good van at a good price

Review: We purchased our Sedona LX in late 2005. We were pleased with the price and the deal on financing. It has a lot of features that our old car did not like cruise control, and power locks and doors. I have to say that overall it has been a good minivan. ...

Pros: Rides great, seats come out easy, few blind spots.

Cons: City gas mileage isn't that great. Like grey interior shows everything.

Review: My husband and I really enjoy this van. It rides great and haven't had any problems with it. Plus it has a great warranty. We've used it to haul wood around to hauling 6 people around. We would even consider buying the newer version of the Sedona or ...

Pros: Comfort, space, good looks

Cons: Relatively poor MPG, some interior pieces seem cheap, body already rusting

The Bottom Line: You can get into the minivan game for less than you think, but this is a "low-end" deal--you get only slightly more than you pay for

Review: I doubt very many people will be looking for reviews of this vehicle because the new model out now. But that is how we ended up with ours--a generous (insane?) $4000 rebate on the EX edition. We were replacing a small sedan and could not have otherwise ...

Pros: Solid performer, excellent work horse, great torque, and good value.

Cons: Needs steering wheel which has greater adjustment, and better mileage. 

The Bottom Line: Solid performer, good value for the money.  I would definitely buy another Sedona.

Review: OK to be right up front the Kia Sedona is not the "Best" mini van.  Honda and Toyota hold that award (but sell for a whole lot more).  What the Kia does represent is the Best Value for the money.  It does a solid job in every category ...

Pros: -Value for the price
-Comfortable Ride and Features
-Towing Capability
-Pleasant Interior Decor
-Dependable Van

Cons: -16MPG fuel economy
-Need to purchase aftermarket performance rotors
-Spongy OEM tires

The Bottom Line: I have and will recommend this van to others.  Its been virtually trouble free has a good value and is pleasant to drive on the highway.

Review: I bought this van new in Austin, Texas back on Labor Day Weekend 2005. We had test driven the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chevrolet Venture, Chrysler, Dodge and Ford Minivans. The fact is, we would have preferred to purchase the Honda or Toyota, they ...

Pros: ride quality, fun to drive, well designed interior

Cons: armrest uncomfortable

The Bottom Line: I don't normally care to much for mini-vans, but my wife and fight over who gets to drive the Sedona. What is this, Kia, a commercial???

Review: We traded in our 99 Plymouth Grand Voyager van (basically a Dodge Caravan with a different logo) for an 05 Kia Sedona due to transmission problems. I was a little skeptical over buying a Kia simply b/c of what I had heard over the years about them. ...

Pros: Cheap, useful.

Cons: Too small, bad gas mileage, dealers and service hit or miss

The Bottom Line: Get one- preferably an 07 or later

Review: We bought our 2005 Sedona new in Jan of 06'. It was one of the WORST buying experiences ever. The salespersons were rude, and we were paying cash w/a trade in and we still paid 16,400. I feel like we got ripped off, since most folks who bought 05's in ...

Pros: warranty, price, styling, fit and finish.

Cons: turning radius is rather large

The Bottom Line: great minivan at a great price, with the best minivan warranty

Review: We bought a brand new '05 Sedona EX in late August 2005. We chose it over the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna due to several reasons -- Sedona was $10,000 cheaper, 10 year/100,000 warranty, and the styling (Sienna/Odyssey are kind of homely). I was ...
