Kia 2005 Sedona

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent value. Audio system in this model is crap, though.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    32-35mpg. Not too bad, but servicing stings a bit. £150 at 10k miles and £350 at 40k.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I like the high seating postion. lt's of motorway driving with ease.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can't fault it for a 2-tonne diesel monster.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    40k miles with little problem. Town driving is heavy on front brakes.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It's big, it's bold and it stands out in the crowd.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Can't fault it. Plenty of room for everyone.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    I have had one attempted break-in, side window, but they failed to force the lock. Fit an alarm if you buy one.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    This depends on the dealer, but Kia UK are quick to get any warranty parts that are needed.
