KIA Sedona review in an hour

Some have been curious about the Kia Sedona mini van we rented for the Roadie and have been calling the "Man"i Van. I assume everyone else knows as little about Kia products as I do. Here is a quick road test and evaluation we just conducted over the past hour. We could not find a way to measure how far it takes to stop when braking at 70mph. We don't have a tape measure and our GPS won't count feet. If anyone has any ideas, we'll update our evaluation:

9.1 seconds…..zero to 60.
60-80mph (passing punch) 7.5 seconds
No engine noises, knocking, slipping, etc...(23K miles on it now).
Rear passenger captain seat would not come out. Also got stuck in down position once.
Satellite radio was great and is built into factory radio. (Subscription separate).
Rear speakers seemed to be louder than front. Needed to turn them down some with the fader.
Ample cup holders…..10.
Roomy….full grown man can nap in floor (with one rear captain seat removed).
Driver side sliding door has been getting stuck
Smooth ride
6 interior lights. Rear started turning itself on and off one night for some reason.
No light in the cargo area. The one above the rear passenger seat is not sufficiently bright enough to find your stuff in the cargo area at night.
Smooth yet tight steering. Current driver says like an Accord.
Good turning radius for parking lot parking
Front and Rear Heating and Cooling changed temperatures quickly. Got hot when you wanted it hot and cold when you wanted it cold.
Big windows in the rear sliding doors actually roll down. Never have seen that in a mini van. Great for a dog, we assume, we didn’t have one.
Handles snow and ice with minimal sliding at 35mph and lower. Tended to slide more above 40mph.
Seats are very firm. Little cushy give. Give them a 6 in comfort level….but I guess it’s not too bad since we’ve gone over 2800 miles and everyone’s back is still good.
Rear passenger captain seat should recline more. Can’t get a good nap in it.
Adequate headroom for 6’1 males in front. ¾ of a Taco Bell straw between top of head and roof.
All dial controls are in good reach for driver
Clock in front of van is easy to change time
Two 12 volt chargers in front…great for charging phones and laptops. Needs another one or two in the rear.
Cool 2nd rear view mirror that flips down so you can watch kids in the back of the van.
Mirror in sunshade was not lighted
Big accessory cargo between front seats currently holding 2 big taco bell cups, 1 water bottle with sunflower shells in it, 1 cell phone, 1 DC to AC invertor, 1 digital camera, 1 pen, 1 box of BC powder, 2 tubes of blistex, $2.80 in change…….doesn’t appear to be removable or flip. Has room underneath it to put your feet when you are sleeping in the floor (1 captain seat must be removed).
Some road noise through windows. 1 of us thought it was great…another thought there was a little much….a 3rd was asleep and did not participate in this evaluation
Deep floor in the cargo area……18 inch (maybe) drop down.
Sunglass holder is located above and to the left of driver’s head near door which is convenient. Unfortunately, the sunglass holder is too small for my sunglasses to fit in.
5 Oh S$%# handles in the roof…one for the front passenger, and four in the rear. Not needed so far on this trip.
2 rear coat hangers…not needed.
CD player makes CD’s very hot when you eject them.
No external thermometer. A car without a thermometer...how does that happen anymore?
No feature to track gas mileage. Odometer was very basic with 2 trip counters.
Rear captain require front passenger to scoot up a tad for 6’1 male to be comfortable.
The Bro says more functional and ease than his suburban. Fun to drive as much as a mini van can be fun…

Overall, we give it a 5 on the "Man"ly scale. I mean seriously, it's a mini van, did you really think it would be any higher?

Any other questions or tests you would like us to answer over the next two days, just let us know. We assume it won't float so don't even bother asking us to try it.
