I have almost 200,000 miles on my van and still runs like a champ. Awesome on gas and never used oil. Only downside is the leather seats are cracked and uncomfortable, but that is what seat covers are for. I replaced the original battery last year if that tells you anything.

Most reliable vehicle purchase.
At first I did not want a mini van however, after settling in to this vehicle I am glad it is mine. This vehicle gets amazing gas mileage and for the do it yourself person the oil filter is on the top instead of underneath the vehicle! For the ease of use with dash gadgets this is a good buy.

Love it but it has a few issues like the doors.
It is really comfortable and does everything I need to do. My kids really love the equipped DVD player. The only issue is that the side door opener likes to stop working occasionally. My key fob also does not unlock/lock the doors but I think that may be a key fob issue and not the vehicle itself.

Easy to drive and very safe.
Easy and comfortable to drive. Not too big or too small for the type of vehicle it is. The 3rd and back seats fold down to make room to carry things.

Passenger side door is jammed and cannot come unstuck.
Not to hip on it as comes with several issues. The sliding doors get jammed to where you cannot open them. I just in general would never own a Kia again.

The van has a lot of space for 2 kids.
I like the van because it is big. There's room for 2 car seats. It does not have a GPS map. It is older.

Kia Sedona has the best compromise of space for kids versus all their stuff.
I really enjoy the seating configuration. It worked best when I had four kids; adding a fifth made it a bit awkward but thankfully my older two were big enough to be out of car seats. There is a version with a jumpseat that I might look into. Even with all the seats occupied I can fit a lot of groceries, even on top of the big double stroller. There's more carrying space in this than the Nissan NV we looked at! I'll admit I am on the short side but I do believe there's decent foot space in the rear seats; more so than other options particularly those three row SUVs. My mother-in-law's is so tight my tall 10yo already complains sitting there but no so in the Kia!

Practical and convenient family vehicle.
The Kia Sedona is very roomy, with plenty of space to comfortably ride seven or eight passengers or to haul anything in the back that needs to be stored in a dry place. It gets good gas mileage and is convenient for long trips. The sedona has low maintenance required and has all the necessary features for me such as Bluetooth and XM radio.

on January 6, 2021
It is very dependable vehicle. I would love to repurchase another one.
It is a lower end model, as a mom of 4 little kids it would have been nice to have some standard options such as electric sliding doors, radio scanning controls on the steering wheel etc.

Very comfortable car for a family or big group.
We had to buy a battery within a week of buying the vehicle. Other than that it has been a pleasure. We have 2 little kids and a baby. We have gone a several trips and we're very comfortable. One of which we camped in the car to get away from the bugs.

It is a great car for families who like to go adventuring, lots of roomy space for travel.
The car has worked well so far, however the rear sliding doors have failed and can only be opened from the outside, probably an easy fix but I have been too busy to get it fixed.
Nolan C

Smooth ride, great overall minivan.
I have had my Kia Sedona since April. I like that it is roomy, can fit my all my kids in it, the Bluetooth is awesome and drives smoothly. I haven't had any problems with my vehicle thankfully. It does great on long drives and has good gas mileage. Overall it is a great buy!

It fits our needs as a large family.
I like the 3 row of seats to fit my family . But there isn't enough room for groceries in the back.
Jamie G

Reliable with great features.
The Kia Sedona is very reliable. It offers great features. I love the automatic sliding side doors and backup camera. It has plenty of storage space. The ride is smooth with minimal road noise. I plan to eventually buy a brand new Kia Sedona. It is a great family vehicle.
Barbara E

Smooth handling. Doors open with push of button. Comfortable and roomy.
This car is super easy to drive and very comfortable. There is so much room and so many cup holders which comes in handy when you have little kids. The drive and handling is really nice. You do not feel every bump in the road. In the winter the car handles okay in the snow... Could be better. Love that the doors open automatically with the touch of a button. Feels like a luxury car.

Kia Sedona - economical, reliable family van.
Kia Sedona is a great reliable van. We purchased ours at a great price and we haven't needed to do much servicing. The seats are spacious our 3 kids have plenty of space. The van is easy to drive and comfortable for road trips. It does not have a lot of li art features, but it is a great, reliable family van for those on a budget.

Hard to find replacement parts but a reliable, larger minivan than your run of the mill odysseys you see literally everywhere!
I love my Sedona. There's plenty of space for groceries, kids and all their associated stuffs.

My vehicle runs and drives smoothly. Achieved all aspects of weathering!
So far I haven't had any issues with it besides the main wear and tear like tires and oil maintenance and tune ups. I enjoy having a van and since it is my first SUV/van I would like to continue to own SUV/vans in the future. I love Kia! It is a long lasting lifetime vehicle that will never let you down!

View. Size. Economy. Purpose.
A bit bulky compared to other cars that I have driven but the performance and has economy is not too bad and lots of people and things can fit in the car. The car is also quite slow compared to the other cars but is also a miniature van and is quite good for soccer moms because they carpool and good for carpooling because it has lots of space. The driver has minimized view compared to others but is bearable.

2011 Kia Sedona still reliable after nearly ten years.
After many years and 200,000 ish miles, I am happy with my Sedona. The engine and transmission are still working well, but it does have several little problems such as the driver door sensor went out so the interior lights no longer come on when opening/I cannot leave the headlights set on auto anymore, and the electrical system has hiccups that have fried my radio. I have tried replacing all of the fuses in all three panels and even taking things apart in the dash to examine them using the mechanics manual but cannot seem to solve the problem. However, with a vehicle that is almost 10 years old and has so many miles on it, it is functioning extremely well and the important stuff (the mechanical systems and smoothness of ride) are still fantastic! I’ll be able to keep the vehicle for a couple years longer than I previously expected. Because of the way minivans are framed and drive, and how much space they offer, I will most likely purchase another minivan when I upgrade.

Great family vehicle to own!
It is the perfect family vehicle. Very roomy and spacious. Comfortable for a mid sized family to take trips and still have extra room. Plenty of trunk space! So no need to worry about where to put everything! Seats fold down too! So there’s more room for things if you need it.
Michele R
on September 10, 2020
The fuel economy and the space.
It is comfortable and I can fit my family of six in easily. I like the 2 sliding doors. This makes dealing with a car seat a breeze. It feels roomy inside and safe.

Accessible vehicle easy to adapt.
The vehicle was easily adaptable for installing hand controls and a lift in the rear for my scooter or electric wheelchair. Also with the second row of seats removable, I can keep the dog crate in the space where one of the seats were. In the winter the option to heat the seats really is nice as well as separate temp controls for the driver and passenger.
Axandra S
on September 5, 2020
Looks comfortable with plenty of space but is in fact a death trap.
I have had recall after recall on this vehicle. It has not been reliable in any way die to all the issues that have arisen with it. I have a disabled child I have to make frequent long trips to his care hospital with for treatment. I purchased the vehicle with his comfort in mind, bit after I lost power steering, use of the windshield wipers (in an absolute downpour) I now have a vehicle that is used for storage because it is anything but road worthy.

Great van, 8 1/2 years in and only scheduled maintenance issues!
We bought our van in January 2012. We've had it for 8 1/2 years and couldn’t be happier with it. We've replaced the tires, kept the oil changed and kept up regular maintenance. We've received two recall issues on the car and the back up camera stopped working about a year ago but other than that we have had a great vehicle! Well worth the price.

Good fuel economy to power ratio - has the get-up and go to make for safe driving in busy cities.
I love the power from this V6 engine - very peppy. It seats 6 comfortably and 7 if you want to get a little cozy in the back seat - with plenty of cargo space left over. I like the fact that there are some sealed systems that cut down on operation costs and maintenance. Sometimes have trouble with sliding doors sticking requiring assistance to open from the inside.
Jeannette T
on July 17, 2020
Kia Sedona is a great family vehicle.
It has leather seats, power windows and power front seats. It has a moonroof and power doors. It has been a great vehicle for the most part. It also has Bluetooth and hands free. We have travelled a lot in this car and put a lot of miles in it and it is still running pretty well. It is a great family car and I highly recommend it! We will keep driving it until it will not drive anymore.
Delle B
on July 3, 2020
I like that it is a minivan. Good leg space and storage space.
During cold weather (winter) the following problems arise. Otherwise, there are no problems with the car. Back door problems - gets stuck during cold weather and does not open. Car alarm system - 'trips' during cold weather (winter). Goes on in the middle of the night and alarms also goes on when back doors are stuck even when the car is moving! Very irritating.

Caution
Do not buy this vehicle. This Kia has two timing chains which need to be changed around 100,000 miles. Cost is over 3000.00. This is about 4 times the cost of other vehicles.

Well when we had an accident we had to go back to dealer our doors are not power based, as well as no leather seats. Otherwise it is a very good vehicle.

Roomy, comfortable, and all around great minivan!
I've had my Sedona for about 3 years and I love it! I bought if for the leg room for my tall older children. I keep one of the middle seats down so it is easy access to the back seats. The kids can sit back there and not feel cramped. I did have all the seats in it for a long time and even then the kids weren't cramped. I often fold all the seats down and use it as a closed truck. I've moved a whole house due to the room in it and being able to fit couches and beds inside. I have had to take it to the shop but it has been for recalls. There hasn't been any mechanical issue that I needed to fix. This van gets going fast. I often peel out because it is fast for a minivan. Getting on the highways and going from 20 mph to 70 mph is a breeze! I will definitely buy another Kia Sedona when it is needed!

Kia van is great! Lots of room and cargo space!

That the mirrors move on my car when you put it in reverse.

I love the 2011 Kia Sedona!!
The van is very reliable. I used it to drive for uber full-time. It can be hard to park (it is a minivan), but the van is very solid, sturdy, and dependable. Additionally, the seat is very comfortable. There is lumbar support. There is also a lot of head room for taller people like myself. I highly recommend this van. You will get a great van for your money's worth.

I love the automatic doors.
I have needed a blower motor and power steering coil. Needs new tire. Just had calipers and ball joints replaced. Warranty only covered calipers and ball joints. Other than that I love the can. Has a DVD player. Keeps the kids occupied when we have a longer car ride

Mini van! Great reliable car, comfortable and can seat a lot of people!
Positives: great car. Drives well. Car has a lot of space, can seat up to seven people. Has a lot of cup holders, and the seats are very comfortable. Drives well in all four seasons. Stereo system has great sound quality. Negatives: only downside, gasoline can get expensive.
Chris F
on January 24, 2020
Its longevity is awesome.
The car has a lot of space, that is huge perk. I enjoy the Bluetooth and the heated seats as well. The automatic doors make it really easy to load groceries, furniture, etc. It is an older model, but it has lasted roughly 9 years and about 180,000 miles.

It drives like a sport car!
Cam went out at 74,000 miles. Air conditioner fan behind glove box had a bad wire. Bad road noise. It drives like a sport car. It has over 210,000 miles and I have only had new tires and brakes put on. Everything else was under warranty. A lot of cup holders and a lot of legroom. Huge storage area in the back. It has get up and go speed. When I want to pass someone on the road. I want to pass, I don't want to sit there and idle by. This van has the power!

Interested in a family type vehicle' Look no further than the Kia Sedona!
My Kia Sedona has all the features you would expect from a competitive minivan, and more. Nice heat and cold air conditioning for front and back, throughout the whole van. Rear window wiper as well as front. Runs on regular gas, so you can save money with that. Comfortable seating, has built in CD player and am, FM radio, the only thing we have done since buying it used 4 years ago, has been brakes, rotors, and battery replacement. It runs great.

The vehicle fits 7 people comfortably and has traveled well for many family vacations.

A great van at an affordable price
I love my Kia Sedona. It was purchased second hand but it was in excellent condition. It has performed without any problems and it drives smoothly and without effort. It has great acceleration, the air conditioning works well in the back which is important as the Kia has 2 rows of seats. The car is reliable and the seats are very comfortable. It has all the features that are important, the only thing missing from my Kia is a temperature gage.
Monica B

My vehicle is a minivan with sun/moonroof.
I love the heated seats, side and back doors that open with the push of a button. It is good on gas easy to handle. Very comfortable and roomy. The only thing that I would change is to and a heated steering wheel and maybe a remote starter for winter.
Amy B
on July 25, 2019
My car is reliable, comfortable and gets good gas mileage.
I like the space and storage space. The last row of seats fold down into the floor easily. The only thing that I dislike is that it is getting older and repairs are costly.

My Sedona and what I like/dislike about it.
I have the basic of the Kia Van's. There have been a few recalls but the are fixed without any issues. It fits my family now and I love that the back row folds flat. I wish the middle section was easier to remove or be able to fold flat too.

Love the sound system when playing DVD’s. Sounds like you are at a theater.
Plenty of legroom for several passengers, love all the features, DVD player, amazing sound system, however CD player stopped working shortly after buying. Love the convenience of storage and being able to easily lay seats down if needing space to haul items. Rides very smooth and typical maintenance. Tires are not overly pricey when having to purchase.
Shannon A

I love my Kia Sedona so much
My Kia Sedona has so much room to fit all my needs. I love that it has a deep back storage area, and also allows the seats to store completely flat. My one complaint is that the Bluetooth will sometimes not connect. Once the vehicle is shut off and started again, the Bluetooth seems to connect just fine.
Michele B

It has almost brand new tires, has been very reliable.
The vehicle has been a great vehicle other than a constant brake caliper issue. Smooth comfortable roomy ride. Ck engine light has been on since 1st year own it new is annoying when trying to get it inspected.

Great van for large families.
We got this van to fit my growing family. We have 2 adults (mom and dad) 4 boys (11,8,7,2) and just had a daughter last year. We can all comfortably fit in this vehicle with car seats and boosters. We have only had to keep up with the routine maintenance and nothing more. It is easy enough to fix and the parts are not really expensive. It is definitely a great investment overall.

10/10 family van, great space, economic, lots of space.
Have had this minivan for 3 years never had any major complain about it the space is great. I really efficient in gas to my opinion drove from Dallas to San Antonio didn't spend that much on gas around $100 only. Is all around a great minivan. I definitely recommend buying it.
Amanda C
on January 8, 2019
Great family vehicle, very reliable.
I love how reliable the van is. In the six years we have owned this vehicle, we have only had to have minor repairs. It seats seven with plenty of legroom. The middle seat will come out and the back seats fold down allowing plenty of room to haul large objects. The one downside is that the storage space is very limited when using all the seats.
Christy G
on January 3, 2019
The Kia Sedona is very unreliable and not dependable.
It has a lot of room for our family of 5, but has not been reliable since we bought it. We have had to replace many expensive parts that should not have needed to be replaced.

The seats fold down in the back.
Very rooney, holds 5 or more people, safe. Bad part is it is a gas guzzler. I have not had to many problems with it since I've had it. Maybe have had a brake issue. It is an automatic, great sound system. Works great in bad weather. Low mileage. Very comfortably when it comes to passenger seating. Got plenty of room for anyone including pets.
Joshua R
on October 28, 2018
It's a nice vehicle to have especially with kids. Very spacious .
I wish that it had stow and go seating. I hate having to take my seats out all the time. I also wish it was automatic seats. It would be nice to have a button to push for the trunk to shut by itself, as a mom that does majority of the shopping , it's hard to have a handful of groceries and having to shut the trunk .
