Kia Sedona owner reviews

"The Sedona represents good value for money but is beginning to look dated and could do with being better to drive"

I love to drive it and its great on long journeys. I only wish that parking in car parks would be better as the parking spaces are small compared to the size of car.

Versatile roomy and practicle, it provides a comfortable drive / ride with good seating loads of room and storage. Not the fastest or best performer by a good way but the most practicle family car i have owned and brilliant for a disabled person, easy to drive loads of room and good storage for wheelchairs and equipment.

On the whole it has been fairly reliable and good value for money, with no major faults. after sales service could be much better, the only fault i have had is the rear electric sliding doors (which intermittently refuse to close, since new) which has not been fixed to date, they cannot find the fault.

Several repeated electric issues with lights, immobiliser, seat heating. Immobiliser means that the car has issues starting. Brakes are far too weak - meaning new pads every year. Expensive to maintain.

Required a new clutch assembly at 20000 miles (had to fight Kia for 5 months to have it done under warranty) and again at 48000. Power steering unit failed at 55000. AC failed at 30000. 3 sets of brake pads, it has been a costly experience
