2002 Kia Sedona EX review from North America

Some rust started to appear above the rear licence plate housing area. I contacted Kia and they are willing to fix the problem.

Perhaps we're just lucky, but we are very happy with our van. We shied away from GM, Ford and Chrysler minivans after hearing horror story after horror story from people we know that have owned them. The Odyssey and Sienna were what we really wanted, but their excellent resale value made them out of our price range. We took the middle ground and took a chance on the Sedona.

It's comfortable, looks good, and has been reliable and trouble free. We've had it on a road trip already and it was competent and quiet on the highway.

I'm very particular about keeping track of fuel economy and our van has been consistently achieving better than published estimates which is good, as fuel economy isn't the Sedona's strong point.

I'm surprised at the number of disappointed Sedona drivers here. The Sedona has sold very well, I see lots on the road, yet when we shopped around, we found that very few were for sale... not what I'd expect if the dissatisfaction rate was very high.
