Most people feel a minivan belongs in the suburbs but I've found it to be a useful all around vehicle capable of comfortable road trips, saving money on moving trucks and of course toting around friends or family around town. The model comes with removable seats allowing for a lot of free space, and seats come out individually which can be a bit of a pain but does allow for custom arrangements. The built in TV/DVD player is a god send, especially when you have younger passengers or anyone who needs to be entertained. While the gas mileage leaves something to be desired, overall I don't have too many complaints about the vehicle.

The 2005 Kia Sedona is a decent vehicle, not too expensive to maintain and rides fairly smooth. Unfortunately, it has issues that you just don't know until you buy it, unless you do a little digging. To illustrate: Did you know that several years of the Kia Sedona (including the 2005) have issues with a faulty anti-theft system that causes the vehicle's computer to think it's being stolen? Yep! It'll shut down, so to speak, not allowing itself to be started thereby stranding its owner. Kind of a headache.
