Best Buy

The 2009 Kia Sedona (Carnival) was named as a Consumers Digest “Best Buy” for the second consecutive year. Basing its decision on a vehicle’s purchase price and ownership costs in relation to factors including comfort, performance, styling and utility, Consumers Digest determines a “Best Buy” by evaluating each vehicle against a checklist of various design and performance characteristics, including styling, interior ergonomics, seating, accessories and amenities, cargo space, fit and finish, starting and acceleration, shifting/transmission, steering and handling, braking, ride quality and fuel economy.
