I've had a Kia Sedona minivan for nearly five years now, without a single problem except for a loose gas door over the gas cap. (And the stereo -- the factory stereo on a Kia sucks big ones.) It has better pullout than my previous Ford Contour Sport, even though the engines are of the same horsepower and the Sedona is a thousand pounds heavier.
