Kia Sedona (2006 - 2012) 2.9 CRDi TS 5d Auto (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I was a fool for thinking that Kia was a reliable and solid brand. Not only has ownership of this car been a total nightmare since day one, Kia themselves have not gone out of there way to help resolve the situation unless out under a great deal of pressure.

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

They have promised to never buy a Kia since hearing of our experiences.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, never. The car is poorly built and unreliable. 15 months after purchase and we still don't have a car that is fit for day to day use.

What are you likely to buy next?

Anything but a Kia.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£21,000

October 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

We got a fairly decent deal on the part exchange of our old vehicle.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Because of the interior cabin space and electric sliding doors.

The sales staff seemed very helpful and friendly.

What's it like to drive?

Nice to drive, responsive and comfortable.

What's it like to park?

It's very large so quite difficult to park but the parking sensors help.

Have you had any problems with the car?

From the very day we collected the car there have been intermitent issues with the electric sliding doors. They simply do not work as they should, either failing to close correctly, opening while in transit or failing to open at all under electric or manual operation.

What's most practical about your car?

The interior cabin space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric sliding rear doors, if they actually worked.
