Safe and reliable

Hit a deer at night going about 75. No injuries the vehicle took the hit and took us to a safe place. I would recommend this vehicle to everyone. Feel safe driving it.

Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned

This 2006 Kia Sedona is by far the best van I've ever owned being disabled for 37 year's due to industrial accident I Hope the vehicle I get is going to be reliable and this 1 hasn't disappointed me atoll , I bought it 2nd hand with 50,000kms on it it's now at 300,000 the only thing I've ever done to it is regular oil changes & of course brakes , it has great horsepower even at 300,000kms it's still strong as ever I don't know if I just got a good 1 or not but I'll tell you if I ever had the chance to get another low kms van I'd grab it in a NY second , my neighbour bought a newer 1 and is just as happy, I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a reliable vehicle I'd get a Kia, by the way the body is still mint but being in northern Ontario we get it rust coated every year,, big thumbs up to Kia for making a great van,, Douglas Northern Ontario Canada

Run Away Screaming

Garbage with a capital G! Do not buy. Bought it new and fought to keep it on the road. At 115K miles it has a siezed engine. $6000-$7000 is my estimate. Not a chance. Moving on from this loser a recommend others learn from my experience.

Best vehicle

I've had caravans and a gm safari. They can't come close to the Sedona. I've owned it since new and apart from normal items such as tires, brakes, wipers, it has by far the best. I've never floored it, but when I want to pass there's more than enough power on hand.i plan to hand this down to my son and his family forhopefully years of service. I'm going to buy a 2019 Sedona.

very reliable and powerful engine

Very comfortable for long distance trips. Used for camping, hauling, passengers, etc. Surprisingly roomy. Seats are removable for extra cargo space. Love the separate heater and A/C controls for left/right and rear seats.

The perfect vehicle for raising a young family

Listen, I know the a minivan isn't a "cool" car. Many of my friends bought big SUVs instead due to the perception of minivans. But unless you are willing to spend a lot of money on a high-end luxery SUV, you can't find a more comfortable or more convenient way to haul your family and all the stuff. I bought the Sedona for its safety rating, value, and amazing ride. I kept it because it is reliable, comfortable, and does everything well. It drives like a car, and gets okay mileage on the highway. And at the end of the day, sliding rear doors are soooooo much better than giant swinging rear doors. Now that the family is grown, the van is essentially an enclosed pickup. With the seats folded, I was able to haul all the lumber needed to rebuild my deck. It's almost time for me to sell -after 13 years - and I am having trouble finding a vehicle worthy of replacing our "red rocket"

Owned 3 of these, very reliable and great value

In my opinion these are the best value for the money in minivans today. We owned a 2006, 2007, and 2016 Sedona. All have been great reliable vehicles. Great factory warranty. Easy to change oil yourself if your in to doing your own maintenance (cartridge filter accessible from the top). We like them, compare features and pricing to other brands and to us the choice was simple.

Great for hauling stuff and people

I have slept in it, carried bikes in it, carried surfboards in and on top, it has seen the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf, Rocky and Appalachian mountains. Willingly carries 6 or 7 with luggage. My wife can walk from the front passenger seat through to second row and to the back row. Why would I spend thousands more for the Honda name?
