Having driven a Sedona for 3 years now,both the old turbo diesel model and now the new CRDi,I have to say that pound for pound it is the best value people carrier around.Very spacious interior with a 2-2-3 seating arrangement,which in my opinion allows better access to the rear than the Galaxies etc.The 143BHP diesel engine is a must over it's petrol version solely due to the greater fuel consumption(averages 38 m.p.g.)and far superior residual values.The basic trim version at £14445 on the road is the cost of an Astra estate,and there's no competition here.I opted for the LX or mid-range at £16445,which gave me air-con and EBD(electronic brake distribution)and improved upholstery.Having three kids,I also opted to have an overhead DVD system fitted.I must admit to having driven umpteen people carriers in the quest to find the right one,and urge anyone in the market for a seven seater(or an Astra estate)to try it out.

Review of Kia
Advantages: Easy to fix, loads of space and pleasant to drive. Disadvantages: Prone to rust, needing to shop around for parts and it looks funny as a van.
