It's comfy, cheap, dull, etc... so I can treat it like crap but still doesn't die. Engine has crap load of torque so it's alot of fun to drive too
A co-worker of mine bought a leftover 2003 model, brand-new (I helped him and his wife through the shopping and the deal). V6 engine, power-package, upgraded stereo, nice two-tone interior, 5-speed automatic....with factory-incentives, all out the door, with a 10-year warranty, for less than 19K. What a deal. And that's how long they kept it.....10 years. No significant problems outside of warped brake-rotors and a pulsating brake pedal....which was easily repaired.

I seriously doubt, though, if a brand-new Sedona, even without options, could be had today for 18 or 19K. Hyundai/Kia prices, especially for their lower-level products, have risen significantly in the last few years. On the Accent and Rio, they went up some $2000 just last year alone.

you know, Toyota should just follow this strategy with the '98 Supra....instead of making us wait another 15 years

If so many others can hide the sliding door gash, why couldn't Kia on an all-new design??

I think this model is great. There are many many families out there who cant drop 48K on a Sienna limited and need the lower cost vans. They dont care about wood steering wheels, 19" wheels, or power reclining and folding seats. I think this van will meet the needs of many and at a better price than the lower end Sienna and Oddyssey models

The Honda Odyssey didn't either. Guess people don't care.

LOL but the Odyssey is hideous looking all the way around, so I don't count that.

However the previous Odyssey did at least take pains to hide the gashes in the shadow of a body line, and on many colors they all but disappeared.
