Re: 2006 Kia Sedona Reliability

I hear it's better quality than the older Sedonas. Personally, I
wouldn't want to take the plunge until it has a proven track record.

With 14K on ours and not a single problem, it's surpassed our Toyota
and Subaru for reliability in OUR case. Motor Trend is doing a long
term test on one. As they said, Kia so believes in the newly designed
Sedona that they are offering them for long term tests.
We'll wait and see...but I have a good indicaton that these new vans
will do well. The problem....they really aren't that much less
expensive when fully loaded anymore. So if Kia is charging 30K for a
good van...then they're doing pretty much what Honda is doing. There
was a time when Honda was "the budget car" with questionable track
records, but Honda improved fast. Of course a Honda is no longer a
budget car optioning out at the top end for most models against many
other makes in every size division. Kia will probably do the same,
perhaps retaining one or two low cost models down the road.
