Have had the vehicle 10 days now, collected with 8 miles on clock.
The dealer handed over with quarter full diesel. I filled the tank at
20miles, now done 396 since, filled up today 68 Ltr or 14.96 Gln, this
equates to 26.33 MPG.
I waited till the fuel warning lamp came on before filling up, so the
difference is 12Ltr for the 80 Ltr tank.
I now know how much diesel is in the tank when the warning lamp comes on.
I have been driving carefully, and was hoping for 29 MPG, my next refill may
show better result, engines a bit tight at the moment.
However the Temperature Gauge is reading about 12% below normal, but it is
consistent.
I will need to have this checked out, in case the coolant isn't at normal
temp.
The windscreen wipers miss a segment about 60mm wide arcing upwards 125mm
right in front of the passenger.
Also when I cleaned the car yesterday I noticed a scratch on the windscreen
also in front of the passenger, I know I didn't do it.
The car runs very well, the brakes are very good, the steering is light and
accurate.
The 5 speed auto box is doing well, but I assist by dropping down manually
on some of the inclines while the bearings are bedding in. The top ratio is
nice and high giving about 35mph per 1000rpm, and it gets into this about
40mph, that's OK when run in, but a little high at the moment.
So far in general the Sedona is a nice car.
Just one more thing though, I ordered it with tow bar, but unknown to the
dealer there won't be any until the end of September, apparently Kia Motors
have not tested them yet, let alone produced any.
Let's hope they keep their promise, I need a tow bar, and only a Kia one
will do.
