My Sedona has just passed its first birthday with 15,000 miles on the clock - zero problems so far, just £170 for a service is all it has cost me. Its good to read of someone who is happy rather than reading about problems all the time !

do you have a diesel sedonamike? the petrol v6 will only do about 20 MPG... which is a nightmare.. although the UK have now put the diesel prices higher than petrol to sting all the people convinced into buying diesels

Our 2002 Sedona has 34k and we just love it, especially my wife, loves it loves it loves it. The only problem has been a broken cup holder, covered under warranty. Just oil changes, tire rotations, and an air filter. Nice van, quality parts (60k spark plugs, tran oil, collant, etc) compared to my Optima (Hyundai uses the cheaper parts, I had an Elantra and the tires, brakes, spark plugs, coolant all were replaced at 30k). We tell everyone to buy the Sedona if they're looking for a minivan. Plan on having it til the 10/100k powertrain is up at least

Yet another rtrn Edinburgh-W.Sussex run complete on a tank of fuel with the clock nearly reaching the 4000 mark now. Kids enjoying the ride (with the dvd player acting as babysitter along the way). No problems to report so far (touch wood!) Would like to improve the ride with ref: to handling/suspension, so another post from moi coming soon.

Happy motoring

Fiona

4000 miles...pah!!! , 15000miles double pah!!!!

My MKII 51plate CRDi SE has got 89200 miles and I don't expect the engine has bedded in yet.

Whilst I expect everything else to fall to pieces around it, the diesel engine will probably go on forever.
