2008 Kia Sedona LX

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.

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.

2007 Kia Sedona EX

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.

Strengths:
Smooth ride that is nice and spacious.

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

2006 Kia Sedona

Summary:
I love this van! I love sitting at a light and some young guy will pull up and act light he is going to speed up and then cut me off! I have nno problem with this van! I press the gas and leave everyone behind. It is so powerful! I like the shifter on the console. I love that my kids can roll down the windows on the slider doors. I like that the rear seats fold down into the floor. The seating is very comfortable. Don't feel all crammed in with 2 adults and 4 kids.

Strengths:
Very comfortable seating, hauls a lot, lots of storage, drives smooth, powerful engine!

Weaknesses:
Not great on gas, but better than other vans. Wish the rear hatch opened higher, worry about hitting my head on it.
