Faults:

Nothing went wrong, sadly. Bursting into flames and exploding, live on TV, would have been nice! So long as no-one was hurt of course.

General Comments:

This is purely subjective, but I think this is the most pig ugly creation vomited forth from Hell's very own car plant.

The Sedona is so ghastly, everyone should have one!

Totally reliable, horrible, comfortable, nauseating, economical load lugger with all the street cred' of a broken, square wheeled shopping trolley.

The interior is as drab as a prison cell, and you have to be some kind of long limbed pre-hominid to reach the hand brake. (Gibbon perhaps)

The sliding passenger doors are fantastic, but the windows don't come down.

The cargo area is very impressive and the seating arrangements, brilliant. I cannot express, in mere words, just how much I hate this 'car van bus' Frankensteinian monstrosity!

The flat floor is a boon when it comes to cleaning, and the seats are so easy to remove, revealing nothing but carpeted flatness.

The above comments may sound confused, but that is the reaction I have to the Sedona... It is good, but given the option, I'd rather walk.

Those that buy the Sedona are either, off the scale genius or certifiably insane.

Faults:

Centre seats replaced 3000 miles.

Discs replaced 10000 miles.

Discs replaced 20000 miles.

Handbrake Cable replaced 25000 miles.

Diesel Fuel Pump failed at 43000 miles.

Power Steering Rack failed at 56000 miles.

General Comments:

For a budget car, the parts are very expensive. Only the 3 years unlimited mileage warranty making it viable.

Interior trim, poor fit and easily broken.

Fuel economy 30mpg.

Dealer knowledge of vehicle poor.

Has suffered brake fade from new, brakes not up to the job and dealer has tried, but cannot fix. Have learned to live with it.

Faults:

The Common rail system failed twice. Kia exchanged the car for a new one in 2003, but this car covered on 400 miles before the same fault occurred.

General Comments:

Seriously unrealiable and poor value for money.

Faults:

I have not had a single fault with this vehicle.

General Comments:

This car has averaged 30 mpg since new.

The automatic gearbox is excellent and changes gear at the appropriate time,it also has a Hold button for descending steep inclines in snow or ice.

The seats complete with arm rest are very comfortable.

Faults:

Gearbox grinds when engaging first gear.

Keylock holds onto ignition key.

Trim panels in cockpit squeak and rattle.

Cupholder snapped off when first used.

Seat lumbar support too low.

Tyres squeal all the time.

Seat foam very unsupportive.

Steering vague with no road feedback.

Engine noisy and unrefined.

Gearchange stiff and harsh.

Electric window switches flimsy.

Wood effect dashboard (plastic)-

Handbrake feels like it will snap off anytime soon.

Door panels rattle when door closed.

Rear windows do not open.

Rear quarterlights can be forced open without effort when the vehicle is locked.

Handling is nervous and tyres squeal at even moderate cornering speeds.

Armrest on drivers seat interferes with gear change.

Lumbar adjust lever snags driver seat belt which is very dangerous.

Rear hedrests badly obscure rear visibility.

Electric aerial in driver field of view and covered in grease.

All cabin plastics are cheap and tacky.

No exterior temperature gauge.

General Comments:

This is the worst vehicle I have driven in about 17 years. I cannot believe it sells against competitors regardless of how cheap it is.

Noisy, unrefined, sloppy handling, harsh and difficult gear-change, vague steering.

Seats look nice and are comfortable for about 20 minutes, then lack of support and cheap build combined with harsh suspension make them almost unbearable.

Air conditioning excellent! the only good feature of this otherwise abysmal vehicle.
