Kia Sedona (1999 - 2006) 2.5 V6 Exec 5d (7 Seat) (2000/X) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a guy. I don't want girlie, sleek, feminine car. I liked the rawness of my Sedona.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

When I first bought it they said it looked like the interior of an aircraft. Another said it was like a mobile living room.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would. I loved it and I miss it but it was repossessed around the time my business crashed.

What are you likely to buy next?

Whatever I can afford. At the moment I can't even think about getting a car.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2001

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes although we didn't get the bicycle which had been on offer as technically it wasn't new.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was in immaculate condition ex-showroom and much cheaper than say a Zafira.

What was the dealer like?

Likeable guy, stereotypical car salesman. We had a lot of fun with him.

What's it like to drive?

Nothing special but I was happy enough with it.

What's it like to park?

Well, it was big and a foot wider than an ordinary car. I scratched the sides a couple of times in multistory car parks. It had a large turning circle and it was easy to get it wrong in a tight space.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The electric locks used to go on-off-on-off. Nobody seemed to be able to fix it. It usually stopped after the next attempt each time. A minor irritation but otherwise a good car.

What's most practical about your car?

It was a beast! Ugly, a man's car powerful enough to drag 7 people about in utter comfort.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air conditioning was wonderful in the summer and I loved the sun roof.
