The fact that the van has a built in tv is awesome
I love my vehicle because it is very comfortable & has a built in tv for my daughter to watch & she absolutely loves it the only problem is how fast gas goes other then that the Van drives great & I have had no issues with this vehicle at all

I don't know if I was just unlucky, but I have had too many issues, in my opinion. I take good care of my vehicle, but couldn't avoid costly repairs.
I enjoy the cargo space. I am grateful to have a working vehicle. I have had quite a few expensive repairs, though. So, the reliability is questionable. A big no no.

I owned a cleaning business and the storage room was perfect for my equipment.
It has really held up. I drove it to work every day for 5 years, without any problems. Only in the past few years have I had to have any work done on it. The things we have had to fix were minor. I would tell anyone thinking about buying a new car to consider a Kia. In my opinion they are the best.

Seats 6, 8 cup holders, 2 car charger ports, separate air.
It is a very comfortable ride. I have had mine for about 8 months. It has gotten me from point a to point b without any problems. It comes with 8 cup holders! That may not be important to anyone but me, but with my family of 4 we need like 2 cup holders each. So it is literally perfect. It has 2 built in car charger ports. One in the front and one in the back. (awesome right!?) It also has air controls for front and back. So if you are cold up front and the back is still burning up, turn your ac off while the others enjoy it on still. You back two seats are removable. So if you have a lot of cargo, just remove the back seats. (warning: they are a little heavy!) Also, the van seats 6!

The pros and cons of our Kia Sedona.
The turn radius is not ideal but overall it does its job and has stayed reliable since we purchased it. We have had some fuel issues. We went from having about 20 mpg when we purchased it to about 12-14 per gallon. We've done all standard upkeep and still our mpg is decreasing.
accountCircle Crystal J on February 20, 2021
I think my vehicle is would probably be a good vehicle if it had been better cared for by the previous owner. I find it pretty easy to drive and my family of six fits into it comfortably.
It's not a luxury vehicle but I think it is good value for the money.

Buy a Kia Sedona. You don't go broke to a name brand and the vehicle will last you a very long time.
I purchased my vehicle from the dealership for a good price and the van is very sturdy. I never had to take my vehicle in multiple times for any issues. I've only done maintenance like fluid changes and replaced the battery twice. My Kia Sedona has been a great investment. At least I haven't been through a couple of vehicles within a 14 year period like some people that I know due to vehicle problems.

We like the size of this minivan.
We have been having the same problem for more than 10 years now. The engine light stays on. We have mentions it to the dealership but they tell us the same thing. Nothing is wrong with the engine. Since the engine light has been on, the can has been making a jerking, skipping motion.

Overall ok vehicle. Some issues.
This model has air conditioning problems. We haven't had really any other issues with it. It is been a stable vehicle for us. It is started burning oil as time as gone on, but this is to be expected with how old it is.

Solid and dependable car.
It is a solid dependable minivan. The car can be hard to fix engine wise. Also expensive to fix. I enjoy driving it. The struts have gone on it twice. The back seats are hard to get in and out. The inside door handles are plastic and the driver side handle has broken twice. The outside handle on the right passenger side has also broken off. The windshield washer hose in front broke and the windshield fluid cracked and leaks out.

2005 Kia Sedona gremlins in the car.
The a/c and heat do not work. I uses some oil and coolant frequently. The windows in the sliding doors have no way to open them. It has a lot of storage and passenger seats. There is a luggage rack. It is bad on wiper blades. It is hard to get to some of the areas for maintenance.

It is a white 2005 Kia Sedona.
My family has had this car since 2005. We have had to send it to a mechanic several times for a number of reasons. It is in decent shape after having it for so long but having to have it constantly fixed made me question its reliability. It still works but I'd much rather use a different car.

The 2005 Kia Sedona is a great minivan to drive.
So far only problems have been minor. Only had to replace 2 ignition coils. The van drives great. It is really comfortable to drive and has a decent amount of features. Rear heater and air conditioning is an awesome feature. It also has a fold down console between the front seats plus extra cup holders. It has just been a very reliable vehicle so far.

Great things about kia sedona
It runs amazing, I bought it used with around 115000, it now has 136000 a year and a half later. It's pretty nice on gas. My Sedona is the quietest running car I've ever owned. I forget it's running sometimes, and the engine and transmission are still smooth sailing.
accountCircle Alexia C on November 22, 2020
Perfect family vehicle with enough room for the family.
The car is a nice looking van inside and out. Lots of cup holders, outlets, and room. The maid down side is when you have the first back row seats buckled it blocks the back section entrance off. We have 2 toddlers in car seats and have to unbuckle one every time we let our 10 year old in and out of his back seat. I like that the center console folds down. There is room for a small garbage can under it. The seats are comfy and easy to clean. And for a 2005 it is still rust free and reliable.

PERFECT AS LONG AS YOU DON'T COUNT THE GAS CONSUMPTION
The seats go ALL the way back, like a bed. It is a gas guzzler. Handles accidents like a champ. I have been hit on 2 separate occasions and both times I drove away. The other vehicle was flatbed to shop.

I have a Kia Sedona. My first car I've ever bought on my own.
I've owned my Kia for 5 years and never had any insurance problems. I love all the extra room it gives me and my family. We've took many cross country trips in this vehicle and the ride is smooth and we never have any issues. My kids really enjoy having their DVD players in the head rests.

2005 Kia Sedona Lx was the best car I've bought until the warranty rules started making us fix things that weren't messed up until the Kia dealership worked on them.
I really loved it until the Kia shop recalled the struts and replaced them. After they were replaced I started having trouble in the front end. It fit my family good and was great on gas mileage. Then when it was time to do the 60,000 mile tune up we got it done so our warranty wouldn't be voided but after it was done at least once a year one of the plugs would misfire. Four three years straight they had to keep going in and fixing the plugs until they decided they wouldn't continue to cover the costs. And the cost for the tune up at 60,000 miles was a little over 700.00$.

Well overall it is roomy. It is not to bad for a mini van.
I have had my Kia van for about 3 years. The van itself has a lot of room inside. It can seat up to 6 passengers. I have had to replace the radiator twice in the time I have owned it. I also had to have to replace 6 tires. There is an oil leak and something must be wrong with the cooling system. Over all I am surprised it is still running some days.

Review of a 2005 Kia Sedona.
The problems I had with this vehicle is that the water pump went out and you have to mess with the timing belt to get to it and retime it. The way the water lines run towards the back of vehicle I don't like. The positive of this vehicle is that it's good on gas and I like the gas mileage I get. It also comes with a DVD player for the kids. The seats are easy to remove and set back in place.

Due to cheaper side many issues occur to take into consideration.
The Kia Sedona has terrible motors in their seats. I have got three motors and continue to have issues. Also the back seats randomly do not lock and fly forward. I chose this van because it was on the cheaper side and had a good amount of miles. As I have heard the battery lasts a long time that was a huge plus. My current battery is 6 years old! But I have replaced the radiator because of a crack and the transmission is currently acting up.

I really do not have an interesting detail to relay.
I bought this car as a floor model, leftover from 2005, when my purchase was actually in 2006. It was the top of the line, with leather seats, CD and cassette players, DVD player with headphones. First time I ever owned a top of the line car. There were some problems at the beginning, with faulty servicing that caused my gas tank to overflow, which was eventually resolved. All in all, I have been happy with the car since then.

It feels hot when you step out of the car after having driven it and to this day it is the same. It gets very hot. Also the plastic seat base is not durable it broke/cracked after having it a few years. Other than that I feel the car has held up pretty well.

Changing the timing belt after about 75000 was a good idea to.
