None of those things are important...it's got sliding doors

There is no such thing as a fixed dealer cost due to incentives. Also
the price shown is for the base EX. We have the fully loaded version
with power package, RSE DVD Infinity stereo 7.1 system, luxury package
with leather and so on.

We paid below invoice of course!

The all-new Kia Sedona is a great-looking minivan with a V6 engine
having the most power in the class, and a suspension that's second to
none. The interior is well thought out, with standard seven-passenger
seating, easily convertible to a carpeted cargo van, while providing an
abundance of storage compartments. The Sedona lacks nothing, except
all-wheel drive. It sends a clear signal that the Korean carmaker
intends to be a player, and it proves that Kia has the engineering
expertise to build excellent cars.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses filed this report from San
Diego, California.

The Sportmatic manual mode in the transmission was a pleasure. We have
the feeling that drivers designed this new Sedona: Brits, in fact. We
downshifted for corners and manually upshifted, and the transmission
did exactly what we asked it do, and rarely any more. The lever fit
nicely in the heel of our hand.

Kia's aproach to designing the all-new Sedona, copying and bettering
the competition, is reflected by the interior. It's a cohesive
improvement of all that's out there.

With few exceptions, the new Sedona appears poised to tackle the best
minivans on the market through a compelling combination of safety,
utility, design, performance, and craftsmanship. Autobytel review

The all-new 2006 Kia Sedona can satisfy all of the regular
requirements, as can many other minivans. What sets the Sedona apart
from the herd is chassis dynamics. Its ride characteristics and
handling abilities are notably above the standards for the minivan
class. -Theautochannel.com

Interior and exterior fit and finish are first-rate. I had the
opportunity to ride in all three rows. There isn't a bad seat in the
house. The third row is not at all cramped and bouncy, and is perfectly
useable by real adults, not merely small children. The second-row seats
are equal to the front buckets in comfort.

With few exceptions, Kia has created a terrific family-mobile, and if
you're shopping for one of these incredibly useful machines, you must
test-drive the new 2006 Kia Sedona. Autoweb.com

CR has not done a full roadtest. In that issue they only have a capsule
review. You will note the links I provided that shows the Sedona
meeting to beating the Toyota and Honda's and being the best in crash
tests, handling, power....and so on.

the best MINIVAN!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The best minivan is the Toyota Sienna AWD, Scotty. Second best is a
tossup between the Honda and Sedona. The Honda has many many reported
problems. We'll have to see how the Sedona does. We brought the new car
back to Kia service today to have the remote starter and GPS NAV added
(Both thrown in with the deal). While we were there they double checked
everything and didn't like how one of the folding seats was working, so
they adjusted that as well. Everything took about 90 minutes, which is
about the shortest time I ever waited for auto service. We're pretty
impressed.

As for the hybrid idea...we still want to get one, but will wait to see
if more AWD based versions arrive soon.

Once again you've believed what you *want* to believe, not what may or may
not be fact. One or two published sources don't constitute the gospel about
anything. Hell, the Sedona may be the best damn vehicle on the face of the
Earth, according to a given publication, but that doesn't make it so.

Did you drive the Toyota and the Honda before you bought the Kia? Of course
not. The Kia is cheaper and since you were able to find some published data
that supports what you want to believe, that was sufficient.

The Honda has many many reported
problems. We'll have to see how the Sedona does. We brought the new car

The Toyota Highlander 4wd is the best hybrid available today. Too expensive
for ya?
