I have a friend who is in his 2nd jeep wrangler unlimited within 12 months. His first was bought back by Chrysler and now his 2nd has the same, incurable problem. My Honda Ridgeline has been flawless in reliability, comfort, towing and off road at 33k. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

Hondas have a reputation for durability and value. This is our third Honda. Those before had no problems beyond routine maintenance. You take care of a Honda and it will last. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

It is a true multi-purpose truck. Rides / handles like a sedan, but carries cargo like a medium truck. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

it is a honda- was supposed to be trouble free. but it left me stranded when the ignition lockset failed. the thing would not start. rather disappointing at 46,000 miles, out of guarantee. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
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 |
