Kia Sedona

[Tracy_5041330]

We are considering buying a Kia Sedona 2.9 CRDi SE Auto which on paper seems to meet all our needs as a family car and a tow car it will even easily fit one large dog in his very large crate. It appears to be too good to be true has anyone got/had a Sedona if so how did they find it for towing etc?

Your comments would be appreciated.

Hi Tracy

We have just looked at a Sedona. Then we read the NCAP safety reports about front impact tests. These are on the net, you might like to look at them.

We too have a sedona, it is the 2.9 tdi s year 2000 model, have towed for 3 years and do not even notice the caravan is on the back, it handles corners well and is a nice smooth drive, took it to France 2 years ago Calais to La Rochelle, quite a journey but with no problems at all, sadly we are looking at selling ours in the summer as we have moved and have a very awkward driveway which causes problems with the turning circle on the sedona, our only fault we have found in 6 years, also purchased a new lighter van as we currently tow a swift challenger 490se mtplm is 1400kg and going for a bailey 460/4, a lot lighter so looking to buy a small mpv too, I only do around town and in 6 years just done 36k on clock, so quite expensive car to run.

Hi

We have a 1999 Kia Sedona Auto and find it great for towing.We have a twin axle van 3 dogs and a wheelchair. The only problem we have had is on wet field, rally most weekends so it's not always hardstanding, it not always good at pulling off. Apart from that we love it.

I know you posted your question a while ago now but I have not been on the site for a while and wanted to reply anyway. I have a Kia Sedona auto plus large caravan and large dog and it has been brilliant. The only time it struggles a bit is on the steep hill up to our village when we return home particularly if some idiot comes the other way and forgets to give way to the vehicle coming up the hill! Also I have to say it has got the turning circle of a lorry! but I still love it. Incidentally we took it to Switzerland for New Year (minus caravan) and it coped well with the inclement weather there too, even my husband who hates it admitted that it did really well and has stopped nagging me to get a big four wheel drive! We only had to use snow chains once even though there was lots of snow.

I believe there is a new Sedona coming out in September so it might pay to wait if are in the market for a new one.
