Yep, Maxi's right! I found "a few" reviews to support the idea of
buying the new luxury van from Kia, even though we could get a Honda
for the same price! Here are just a few! Good work, Maxi!

Ahhh...here's yet another one from newcartestdrive.com

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.

And Motorweek says....

When introduced for 2002, the first Sedona signaled that Kia was much
more than just a small car builder. Now, with solid engineering, great
safety and versatility, the 2006 Sedona puts Kia among the leaders in
the very demanding minivan segment.

Oh, but they go on and on....

And what do owners have to say....about the highest rated van? 9.7 out
of 10 satisfaction rating!

And Kia Lands a Knockout!

Maxi appears to be reading old issues of Car & Driver and fancies
himself a car enthusiast while driving a 3 series...the bottom of the
BMW barrel. Try my STI, maxi! AWD and 0-60 and grip your sad toy car
can only dream of!

We sold ours for more than we paid for it...all that means though,
is that there was someone out there who wanted it bad enough...it
was still a tin can and drove hard...wouldm't have wanted to ride in
it farther than the grocery store...

We didn't have any problems with it..but then we only owned it for 6
months...I dount if we would have survived a wreck in it, though....

The little Kia's are death traps. I guess you don't care much about
your son.

Not likely to be as good as other makes such as Honda or Toyota. But
we'll keep this as a utility vehicle for a long while as with the
Outback.
