Default Best Minivan Ever for Sailors!

Here are the views of previous Sedona owners:
"If you buy cheap, you get cheap"
"Nice luxury van, but not a reliable source of transportation"
"This van stinks!!!"
"Not a trustworthy or well built van"
"Tough abused van!"
"You get what you pay for. If you leased it you probably did well. If
you
bought, Ouch!!"
"Words cannot explain"



Golly!!! Something tells me Donal will utterly fail to provide a link
to the comments above for the 2006 Kia Sedona!!!


Good grief!!! Something tells me that Bob has forgotten that I don't
bull****!

Here is the link!

http://www.carsurvey.org/custom_newentries_19.html

....And here is a quote from just one of the disgruntled Sedona owners :-

"What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's seat falling apart. Passenger door handle won't go back to the
way it's supposed to. Rust spots in various spots. The air conditioner
wasn't keeping cool last summer '05' and this summer, the ac won't even
start. The interior rear lights work when they want to. Gas mileage isn't
nearly what I thought it would be. I understand that I came from a small car
into a minivan, but my mother gets better gas mileage than I do and she's
got a chevy venture. My husband and I get about the same mileage and he's
got a dully truck. I love the way the new 2006 looks, but I don't know if
cheap is really the way to go. Thanks for your time. Illinois."

I had a feeling you'd post that link. Those are not for the new Sedona.
It's an all new Minivan that has about as nothing in common with the
old one.

If you'd like to see what owners are saying....

http://autos.msn.com/research/userre...?modelid=12019

It's the highest rated car of ANY kind on MSN reviews.

But let's try Edmunds....

Okay...everyone likes the Sedona...but copying the Sienna for 32K is no
big trick...yet Chrysler can't come close.
Now....really...in spite of Kia's effort to build an upscale minivan
(The old Sedona was nothing of the sort), we have really no idea how
this thing will hold up. The warranty is great, but who wants to have
to use it on a regular basis to fix a laundry list of problems? Only
the next 24 months will tell if the Sedona...a pretty pricey 3rd car
for us...made sense. So far, the thing is really fun and comfy with an
amazing Infinity sound system and Garmin nav. I have yet to hit any
rocks.
The sad thing is that now even the Korean builders have outrun the US
carmakers in every way. Yikes.

Skoda also scores very highly in customer satisfaction reviews.

However, your accountant doesn't drive a Skoda. He doesn't drive a Sedona
for the same reason. Have you ever seen a sucessful film director in a
Skoda or a Kia? Of course not!! Both cars signify failure. I cannot
believe that you are driving a Kia. I bet that you really drive a Lexus!

Actually, my accountant sails a J35 and drives the old Sedona for
moving people and sailing gear. It's about as good as a dodge caravan.
My attorney sails a Tayana 48 DS and loves our Sedona so much he's
trying to dump out of his Jeep lease early. As you can read for
yourself, the new Sedona is a whole new minivan and a serious stab at
the class leaders, besting them in several areas. But didn't you just
say I only follow tried and true items....yet I bought one of the very
1st Subaru Tribeca's and Sedonas....Hmmmm.
Looks like I shot down every one of your trolls...with ease as usual.
Why did you trade to a powerboat?

Donal...we can clearly learn a lot from you. Please direct us to a page
showing the current Lexus minivan. I must have missed it.
