I've been reading some of the posts re the Sedona van. I currently have a Plymouth Voyager purchased new in 1994, now with 161,000+ miles on it, and it's time to start thinking of a replacement. I went to a Sedona dealer here in SE Pennsylvania and got a preliminary price of around $18K, which is around 3 or 4K less than a comparably equipment Caravan, it really sounded too good to be true.......... and we all know what that means. Any way, from what I've read on the Web, the quality report on Kia seems to be, at best, mixed. JD Power rates them at 2 out of 5, but feedback from owners on different sites (Edmunds and such) rates the Sedona at around 8.5 to 9.0, out of 10; seems odd, such a wide variance in ratings.
So.......... what's the dirt on the Sedona? Is it a dog? A winner? A used-to-be dog that is now becoming a winner? Or is the quality so uneven that it just depends on the particular vehicle you buy? If I buy one, I'm going to ride it hard and long, so I don't want to get stuck with something that's going to roll over and die at 100K miles.
Thanks for any insight on the Sedona. Marty
