This vehicle is another example of how and why Hyundai is progressively grabbing more of the market share of vehicles out there. If I had enough room in my driveway I would have purchases this vehicle; even though I'm not a fan of CUV's or SUV's; I was really that impressed with it...and of course, with the mile I had, as well as others put on it, they would have to sell it USED!!! see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

I don't give a damn how it looks so long as it goes, and it goes reasonably quietly, The audio is 'quite good'- I've been told by a friend - shame really as I've probably used it a dozen or so times. The cruise control is superb for the hundreds of miles of UK 50 mph motorway limits. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

I previously owned a Hyundai. I donated it to our chuch after driving it for 114,000 miles. It got some very minor repairs and ran for another 50,000 that I know of. It may still be on the road. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

There is nothing I DON'T like about this vehicle. What I least like is how people still have a stigma about the Hyundai brand when they've never taken the time to test drive one. Hyundai's have the best customer satisfaction as well as repeat customer "index" of all the brands out there and for good reason. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
DON'T BELIEVE they are different - a STARTER failing at 62000 miles - a JOKE. The PRICE for a Starter at the Hyundai dealer - a JOKE. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |

Quick depreciation; still known as a "Korean" company that is behind Japan, Europe and USA in quality though reputation and word of mouth improving in past few years and part of the reasons why I purchased the Santa Fe see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Kia Sedona
| Kia Sedona Brand Reputation: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| There aren't any strong reasons not to buy the Sedona. Yet when a friend recently bought a minivan his wife wouldn't even look at the Kia. Why not? Because it's a Kia. Some bases for this prejudice remain. Past Sedonas haven't been nearly as reliable as a Sienna or an Odyssey. Plus many Kia dealers have been with the company since its less illustrious days. Their showrooms can be small and shabby (though some newer ones are anything but), and they developed a culture that focused on buyers most other auto makers would not loan money to. I recently stopped into a Kia dealer to research how the seats operate in a lower level Sedona--and was kicked out. I'd folded and unfolded the seats a couple of times, and was in the driver seat when the sales manager informed me: "We're going to be showing this van soon, and can't have you slamming stuff around in here. So I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I've been visiting car dealers to gather information for my reviews for over 15 years. The great majority have been very helpful. This is the first time I've been bounced from one. Maybe the manager didn't have faith that the seat mechanisms could withstand a couple of folding and unfolding cycles? Whatever the manager's motivation--I still can't believe it happened--that dealer isn't doing much to improve Kia's image. see full Kia Sedona review | ||

It says "Kia" on it, and people still think that Kia means "unreliable" - Wife and I love driving the thing. see full Kia Sedona review |

Sedona and Kia have a reputation for low cost but also low brand image for quality. I think they have made great strides on the quality side and in improving the overall designs in the latest models see full Kia Sedona review |
