Kia Sedona 2.9 TD SX 5d Auto (7 Seat) (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Weighs over 3 tonnes = a lot of metal for your money!
Costs
Pleasantly surprised. I thought it would cost more to run! Very expensive servicing though and has to be done every 4000/6000 miles.....ouch!

On the road
Driving
7 hour drive = no problem especialy on motorways, a bit roly poly on country roads, very American ride.
Performance
90mph constant cruising on motorway, very easy but heavy on the brakes around town due to its weight.

Living with it
Reliability
Seems good at the mo, but all very plastic/cheap looking may not last long, warranty good while it lasts, I recommend you extend!
Image
This is a beast of a machine with all the toys, the engine can be fealt through the floor, in the right hands its image is gargantuan!
Comfort
Park up, recline, sleep, no problemo. Very comfy big seats.

Security and Service
Security
Non existent to a thief, recommend owners fit their own asap, especially if you have any sort of re-salable stereo fitted.
Service
Kia dealers are desperate to sell you anything and will lie to do it, buy only if it has full service history and pre check all electrical switches, DO NOT BUY WITHOUT WARRANTY or you will be sorry!
