I've done the pre-winter maintenance on our vehicles over the past few weekends, and am very impressed with our '09 Kia Sedona.
Likes:
- The cartridge oil filter up top is easy (and not at all messy) to replace.
- The plastic skid plate does not have to be removed to drain the engine oil, ATF, or coolant.
- The tranny has a drain plug in its oil pan.
So far, it's been a good vehicle. (We've only had it since June 2016 though, and it only has 111K km on it now.) It's fairly thirsty (typically turning in 11 l/100 km on the highway [which is about 25 MPG Imperisl or 20 MPG US]) but we don't drive it enough for that to be a big deal.
Ergonomics are well-thought out.
