2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America
"Try it - you'll be surprised"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Our Sedona is still fresh out of the crate. We've had nothing but pleasure driving it so far, but we'll update you as we get in a few more kilometres.
General comments?
We've read other reviews about the Sedona, of which we really only found performance, acceleration, and fuel economy to be relevant issues. All three go hand in hand, and were not a concern for us. We viewed the Sedona as a "family" van - not a race car, and therefore ignored the bad review (s). Coming from a larger, more renowned manufacture, we were extremely surprised and happy with the salesman, the dealership, and so far, the vehicle. The value for the dollar is excellent, and our expectations of our Sedona were surpassed only by the staff. Every vehicle needs a wear-in period and a chance for a good shake down. It's our belief that the Kia Sedona will leave the tests unshaken. Kudos Kia!
