I love it. Very comfortable and fits my needs.
Style reliable gas mileage fits my entire family looks great. The only thing I can think of is that it is not made of steel.

It is still running strong with well over 100,000 miles on it.

I love my 2002 Kia Sedona
I love my 2002 Kia Sedona Van. We have had a few issues with it but I'm sure it's only because the previous owners didn't take very good care of it. I have 3 kids and want more in the future and I just love how my van has so much room for the car seats and anything we decide to take with us when we go somewhere. I just overall love my van!

It works for what I need it for. Why do you need people to type so much? All you need to know is in the small amount of words I have used. And now you have all the gibberish you have required.
It's fine. Sometimes I wish it had 4-wheel-drive, though.

The regular Kia Optima gets the same gas mileage as the hybrid.
I love this car. Great gas mileage and handling. Only complaint is with my mobility I hit my head when getting in and out if I am not careful.

Rides smooth. Air condition is well placed. Music speakers placed well
Needs more cup holders. Very comfortable both front seats and back.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Chuck P
It is old and not dependable. We would like to get a new vehicle but are stuck with this one for now.
We have problems with the brakes due to the open undercarriage exposed to the weather. The wiring is goofy and causes problems and the AC does not work. It is the right size for what we need. Not so great mileage.
accountCircle Joann J
It has rear seats that are removable for moving cargo. Lot of room.
I think the Kia Sedona is a good running vehicle. Very dependable. It has 197, 000 miles and still going.
accountCircle Sarah N
Do not buy it. The turn radius on it sucks and a lot of things go wrong with it.
The turn radius sucks. My ac doesn't work. The suspension is going. And my sunroof doesn't open. And it also has an oil leak.
accountCircle Brenda W
It's very dependable, we have put a lot of miles on this vehicle.
Body is rough. And has very poor gas mileage. Do like the room it is very comfortable for long trips.
accountCircle Tab M
It's great for traveling with children.
Great van for the family. It has plenty of room with 3 kids and a busy lifestyle. It has a sleek style has a great customer review online.

Unhappy with my Kia. Please see previous response.
The vehicle runs well, has many convenient features like storage, plenty of room, and it is comfortable. One of the problems is related to door handles. On one rear door, the handle will not open the door. On the drivers side, the door will not open from the inside. I will not purchase another Kia unless the repair of the doors is very cheap or free.
