Kia Sedona (2006 - 2012) 2.2 CRDi 3 5d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I have a large family.

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

Very comfortable. Tank.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. Much better value than the Galaxy and more comfortable particularly in row 3. At this trim level I would have had to by a 2nd hand Galaxy and this has a 7 year warranty, no contest at all.

What are you likely to buy next?

Same again, unless 2 oldest sons fly the nest. If they do will probably go for another Kia for the 7 year peace of mind.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£21,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Great deal. Got a big discount. Got just as the 7 year warranty started but paid the old price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a 7 seater. it has 7 full sized seats.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was very good. The woman in the service department is a bit of a moo but all the other guys are great.

What's it like to drive?

It is a large car so not going to break the lap record at the Nurburg ring but it has a strong engine that pulls really well. It is a very comfortable long distance drive, and all 7 onboard all have excellent leg room and very comfortable seats.

What's it like to park?

When parking in town you do have to find a long space but appart for that it parks very well. The revesing camera takes the guess work out of the length at the raer.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Air con needed a recharge after only 2 years, done free after a good moan at the moo in the service dept.

What's most practical about your car?

It has 7 full sized seats and they are removable. The seats dont fold down into the floor but this does give you much more room when in load shifter mode. The Galaxy and others that fold still take up alot of room when folded (they are still in the car). The Galaxy fold into floor type are no where near as comfortable as they are far thinner. Also electric sliding doors much more practical in car parks with kids and much easier to load babies into car seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Rear parking camera, it appears in the rear view mirror when you select reverse gear and gives an excelent view right to the floor.
