Overview

Reviews

Slowly making a name for itself in the sedan and SUV segment, thanks to an unprecedented warranty and improvements in reliability, Kia decided to enter the minivan market with the 2002 Kia Sedona. Though it is Kia's most expensive vehicle, it was still one of the most affordable minivans offered at the time. The 2002 Sedona was longer than the Dodge Caravan and Toyota Sienna, offering three rows of seating for seven passengers. The 2002 Sedona came in base LX and more luxurious EX trims, both with a 195-hp, 3.5-liter V6 engine and 5-speed automatic. Power windows, mirrors, and locks, cruise control, a CD player, and rear climate control were standard on the base, and the EX added power front seats, wood trim, foglights, and keyless entry. Leather upholstery and a sunroof were optional only on the EX. Though lacking in some now-standard minivan safety features, such as ABS brakes and traction or stability control, the 2002 Sedona earned 5-star crash ratings from the NHTSA (though only an average from the Insurance Institute). ABS brakes were offered as an option, though many owners complain that they weren't standard. No side airbags were available in 2002. Other nice features on the Sedona include an abundance of cupholders for all three rows, a wide array of storage compartments, including a double glove box, four power outlets, and second and third row seats that both recline and slide back and forth to accommodate longer legs or more storage. Though neither row folds flat into the floor, like comparable minivans, they both can be removed in a somewhat cumbersome way. Power sliding doors are not offered, but many drivers say the manual doors were light enough to operate. The first year for the 2002 Sedona had ups and downs. A lot of owners complain of numerous repair visits, specifically for A/C failure and transmission problems. And though these were often covered by the 10-year powertrain or 5-year basic warranty, many owners found it unacceptable. Poor gas mileage, an easily dinged up interior and exterior, and a bland style are other complaints. But as a practical family hauler, the 2002 Sedona offered good storage flexibility, plenty of legroom, a sturdy and solid feel on the road, and comfortable seats.

I was terrified having bought my van when it had 50k miles on it and having done Zero research. But in the 8 years I had it, it only left me along side the road once. I was terrified due to all the issues I read that they had.. Common issues that transmissions... A/C began leaking into the first year. I never fixed it and never found the leak. I did a LOT of heavy towing with the van with an overloaded Popup Jayco. I also had my KTM 400MXC on a trailer hitch rack. I've read that the Transmissions on these vans are infamous. I never had one issue. I did have issues with the sliding door rollers.. Even had a door fall off once and gouge the heck out of my paint. The lever that opens the back hatch broke around 100k miles and most annoying the latch on the driver's side broke causing me to have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. I never had an issue with overheating, which apparently is a common issue. At 60k miles I had a wheel bearing go out and it was my first realization that NO ONE, other than online carried parts for these cars. I had to order a new spindle and bearing set online and have it shipped to me. EVERYTIME I had new tires put on the van the tire shop would break a nug nut post. At first I was pissed because I thought the tire guy was just an idiot. After the 3rd set of tires I realized they're just junk. In all the time I owned my van, I never did anything but put tires on it and change the oil.. Well and the occasion windshield wiper. I got 20mpg consistently. I really wanted to change the wires, but at $160 per side, I never did. Sadly, my van was recently totaled by a snow plow at 145k miles and I'm sad to see it go. It, apparently, was the only non-lemon of the bunch.

Not enough cargo space when using the rear bucket seats also I would rather have the 3 individual seats in the middle rather than just a bench seat for two. Great Acceleration, braking and handling. Felt safe and enjoyable to drive. I was getting 20mpg in our rural town. It was amazing.

Great Price, but lots of expensive stuff can go wrong that shouldn't, and doesn't fit under the warranty. Just after full warranty expired, the A/C compressor seized. Rear Heater hose corroded out after one year. Corroded out again two years later. Allow wheels look terrible once the protective film wears off. Wish I had known it had a rubber timing belt that would need changed every 60000 miles, at $500 each time!
