Kia Sedona 2.9 CRDi SE

i love my kia sedona 2.9 crdi se had a couple of problems wear and tear.hand brake cable,new battery i would by another one

practical mini van plenty of room.

Injectors on my Kia Sedona went @ 40,000 last year, and gone again now June 2008, costing a fortune and worth nothing now! Also, handbrake broke twice, and losts of other little but expensive faults.

Keep away from them they are trouble!

Once you reach 60,000 miles, and the problem start happen. My engine failed, no fault of my own, they are refusing to fix it, and I am not the only one this happened to. Four years ago, I would be saying the same thing most of you are saying, but wait, the cheap price comes with it problems. Also, don't think you will be able to trade it in, the car is worth nothing.

Leather seats (comfortable). DVD player. Electric folding mirrors. Fantastic family car/MPV .

We love the Kia Sedona! I hated the idea of getting a Kia - didn't like the name (snob that I am). But once persuaded to go try one I loved it. We tried the VW Sharan, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Citroen C8 and the Mitsubishi Grandis, not one of them was close to the standard and cost of the Kia. We paid £11000 for a 18 month old Kia with 3 yrs + more warranty. It is fully loaded and is in mint condition - if we were to have spent the same money on the Chrysler we would have had a lot less car for the money.

Probably the best car I've owned, I average 60k miles per year and bought the Sedona, ex-demo for only £15k, and with 3 years unlimited mileage warranty, plus 3 years breakdown cover.

It does everything I've asked of it, carries the whole family (3 kids plus 2 grown ups) to Southern Europe for holidays, carries all my work kit, and anything I've got for repair without grumbling.

Fuel consumption is better than quoted, especially as all my miles were on motorways and at speed.

Takes some getting used to when driving for the first time, but handles fine, its not a sports car after all, but pulls away quick enough and is possibly the smoothest riding car I've been in!

Sliding doors are a godsend with kids and tight parking spaces (even a large space becomes tight with these monsters!)

Kia service is second to none, when things have gone wrong it has been sorted without quibble and straight away, although i must point out that the car has never let me down, or had me stranded at the road side from a fault, the only problem being that my car had a habit of eating wheel bearings every 30K, probably something to do with the ton of kit I carry though!

What can I say - go and buy one now!

A fuel system repair under warranty left us without vehicle at 4 years fuel system on the new 142 hp common rail diesel engine failed again and Kia will not contribute to £4500 repair.
