Re: Hyundai or Kia..Who's at the top status-wise ?

Hi Rev,

I'm the same as you....  I own a 2003 Kia Sedona and a 2006 Sonata.  I've 
never had a bit of trouble with either except when the dealer****p screwed
up 
a simple spark plug replacement on the Sedona (didn't hook the plugs back
up 
for the cooling fan system).  I love them both although we mostly drive
the 
Sonata now and just occasionally use the Sedona to pull a small enclosed 
trailer.  I think your analysis is right on.

Tom
