From a Sedona lover, I give you the following:

*Overall, it is one of the best vehicle values in the industry when you
factor in space, comfort, versatililty and price.  It is thousands less than
other minivans, and does almost everything well;

*The only consistent negatives I have seen are such niggling things.  One
example is an occasional complaint about less-than-average headlights.
Okay, get a set of Philips NightGuide capsules at $30/set, and that problem
is solved.

*SERIOUSLY consider spending the extra money for an EX.  Whether you choose
a more basic EX with the up-level cloth seats (my personal choice), or the
more loaded EX with the leather, you will be MUCH happier with the
equipment, comfort and performance level of your van than the rather plebian
(though still well equipped) LX version.

*Right now, there is still a good abundance of '08's left, and with a $5000
rebate on top of the best deal you can make.  But if you want to wait until
'09, the Sedona will be adding SIRIUS satellite radio capability, with
auxiliary and MP3-USB connection, standard on all trim levels with three
months complimentary service and an optional navigation system for the EX
trim line.

At one time, my wife assumed that a minivan was a "station-in-life" vehicle,
needed only when you had kids around.  I have owned three Sedonas now, and
their versatility along with better ride, space, comfort and fuel economy
over SUV's means we will be staying in Sedonas.  This is one seriously good
vehicle.

Hope this helps.

We've had our 2003 since new with no problems.  It's a very heavy car so
don't expect great mpg but it rides nice on long trips and has plenty of
room.  I drive it very little since gas is so darn high.  I have 43,000
miles on it.  Good car but haggle with them to REALLY get the price down.
They have them priced way too high in the hopes that a 'sucker' drops in.
Don't be that sucker.  Get at least $5000 off or even more.  And don't pay
for all the BS they put on the price like paint and fabric protector, rain
guards, air deflector.  All that crap is pure gravy.  Get that taken off
before you even walk in the door.

Hi,

Having sold many Kia Sedona's and few Toyota Sienna's, I would advise go
with the Kia Sedona because it offers great reliability, great comfort,
loads of features, excellent warranty, and most importantly thousands less
than the Sienna.

My customers prefer the Kia Sedona Van for the above reasons.

Good luck

The only annoying problem I am seeing now on my 2003 Sedona is that the
clear coat is peeling off of my bumpers!  It definitely looks like crap.
