I like minivans too (and I am a guy!). We have two kids but we also love the space. We were on a road trip in our Sienna and were able to pick up a full-size antique armchair that someone threw away (for restoration purposes). And that was on top of everything else we had in the Sienna! Can't do this with an SUV unless it's a full sized SUV like the Escalade or Sequoia. And a minivan is cheaper to buy and run too.

Not sure why this Minivan is being laughed at when it's faster than an FR-S!

Minivans are very versatile vehicles. I've used mine for everything from child transporter to truck like use with lumber, brick, furniture, and appliances. They're one of the most underrated and looked down types of transportation on the road.

As a driver of a 1983 rx7 I can honestly say I'm impressed with all the tech you get in the van lol. I'd never own one but damn it looks comfy.

Mine`s a `93, & still rolling-on ! Have so much "history" with "Jeny," will have to wait till she finally gives up the ghost before a KIA SEDONA takes over her stall, er, garage.

When one of the best looking cars in Kia's fleet... is a Minivan??? Loved the review!

very cool van! I'm not a big fan of a centre console between the two front seats on vans and pickups though, I like having the space to walk through it or for stuff. and I don't know why people think vans are boring! You can take them for long road trips, sleep in them, haul lots of stuff, it's so practical.

Just wait -- When the GIrlfriend become a wife and kids are running around, a minivan is far better than a cross over or SUV. And what about those people that have dogs --- lots of dogs. can't put them in a pickup truck -- they would all jump out. Nope, as a grandpa -- I had 1 station wagon and two minivans. They fit the bill for what they are needed for -- now as a single grandpa (ladies) I drive the grandpa version of the minivan, the Kia Soul. Great car -- again for its purpose -- I would not go stop light dragging against a kid in a Radio Flier wagon, but it does go from A to B. Next time, you need to test the off road capability of the mini van -- you know -- gravel parking lots. Great job, and for an engineer, rather humorous. I still want to meet the woman in the Miata's test drive...

Most minivans actually have terrible safety ratings since they're fatter than their sedan counterparts, yet are still usually on the same chassis.

so much tech, nice seats, and it doesnt look bad for a minivan... i kinda like it!

For a minivan, this Kia Sedona aesthetically looks good, and seems to have pretty much everything you could ever need or want in a big people/stuff carrier. Thoroughly impressed. Also I love what you did with this video, so much fun to watch!

I always expect minivans to sound like straight 6 diesels for some reason. It's weird hearing a small bus with a high revving v6.

A minivan is like a living-room on wheels. It doesn't get any better than that!

This is one of the best reviews I've watched on any vehicle. Period. Jason is not only one of the smartest car reviewers on KZread, but he also incorporates a perfect dosage of humor during his reviews. Most importantly, those two traits don't do any good if you can't convey information in a way for your viewers to understand what you're communicating. Jason conveys this information in a way for viewers to both learn and laugh. Extremely well done! (Note: I'm not a novice when it comes to watching KZread reviews on cars. In fact, I often wonder how I'm actually able to accomplish anything with how many reviews I watch.)

Best Minivan review ever XD ! Now i might just get a Sedona for my next car!

I initially skipped over this video when I first saw it in my feed but I'm glad that I came back to it. It's a good & entertaining video that is not easy to do in my opinion. I even laughed out loud a couple of times.

We had 5 kids. They are grown and gone, but my wife still likes having a minivan, currently a 2014 Grand Caravan.

Please make more reviews of boring cars like this. People who are interested in this kind of car will find the review useful while the rest of us will have a good laugh. Keep it up!

This video is hilarious. This guy is awesome! Math about kids, and the little comments about minivans , OMG, I don't think it can get any better.

Thought this was going to be boring, but was very pleased that your humor started to run the show, you're pretty funny man. I'd enjoy more humor in the future! You also got a car guy to watch a mini van review if that says something

Great video! In fact I was so inspired that I decided to make a minivan performance review of my own =) It looks like a small touch insanity is key to reviewing so-called "boring" vehicles like these.

My friend your reviews are getting better and better with a bit of humour as well. keep em coming!

I bought a Kia Sedona LX 2017 it had 13,000 miles right now. It was really solid tank smooth to drive a minivan. Comfortable leg room and head room. Deep storage in the back. I highly recommend to everyone!

Went shopping for a mini-van for a friend. Never intended to buy a KIA originally but was quite impressed with this Sedona after the test drive.

Dang those back seats are sweet. Loved the review, your getting better and better every video!

I'm glad my first minivan review experience was a pleasant and informative one.

Never knew minivans can be this stylish and sporty, getting this asap

I have no interest in minivans, but I watched this entire review because of how it was delivered. This was awesome! I'd enjoy more of this style of video, regardless of what you're reviewing!

This review made me rethink minivans. As a mother of 3 (24-10yo),adventure seeker and an environmentalist, I have always stuck to a middle of the road cross over hybrids w a third seat option. Minivans are for sissies. Then I watched your review before test driving crossover pathfinders, four runners and standard SUV's (Tahoe, Suburban, explorer) comparing them in real time performance against my husband (Sedona vs Sorento, pathfinder vs quest, explorer and suburban vs crysler t&c and caravan) for longer term one week test drives. The minivan won everytime on fuel economy and features for $ spent! No matter the brand. Every single time! While we loved the four wheel drive in suv's we didn't notice enough of a lag time in their minivan counterparts to discount them in our mountainous terrain. Head room was key: I am under 5 foot tall and my "male unit" is unusually tall -'our 13 yo is 5'11". There was a minimum of head room in even the largest suv to account for tall passengers in the 3rd row. $ for $ a minivan offered the best features and fuel economy for every $ spent. We are banking the difference in mutual funds.

I like genius humor and you are one of the few who can pull it off.

But will it blend?

Can’t believe vans are being more awesome than they were earlier! :D

I just bought almost this exact minivan. No DVD, the kids all have phones anyway and they'd just fight over what to watch so that $1200 will go in momma's Vegas fund instead. To those saying they'll never buy a minivan, I hope you're right! Nobody dreams of minivan ownership! Lol. My first minivan purchase a dozen years ago was spurred by 3 kids all in car seats (if you/your partner is nursing full time, don't rely on that to prevent pregnancy, no matter what your quack doctor tells you!) at that point, a minivan is requisite unless you're a cirque performer or masochist. All that said, as far as minivans go, this one is pretty baller.

I just bought a Sedona too, and skipped the rear seat entertainment for the same reason. The kids have phones with unlimited data, no sense in fighting over 1 screen. I was anti-mini van until our first one, a Town and Country. It sure makes driving with kids more pleasant. Really liking the Sedona's road manners over the Town and Country..seems more SUV-like and less top heavy/wobbly.

For some reason you remind me of CGP Grey. This is the first review of a minivan in its entirety I ever watched. You got talent, sir.

It would be perfect if it's a self-driving van. I love to ride in the 2nd row and relax.

Bruh I went from a 2014 red and black Camaro SS with custom license plates reading "HOSTILE" to a Prius c & Prius v If we have a 3rd kid we will need a mini van and that's assuming we don't have twins again.

I like the humor and jump cuts , reviews are getting better! Good job ! You should do a review of all the main mini vans ( Toyota, Honda and Nissan) I think mini vans and underrated and overlooked by most family's looking for a vehicle. Mini van have definitely stepped up their game these past few years

A bit of fun fact, minivans (and some full sized passenger vans) are actually seen as sort of a status symbol here in Asia/Southeast Asia. Many of the rich here sit in the backs of Kia Sedonas, Honda Odysseys, Toyota Alphards, and nowadays, higher trims of the new Toyota HiAce. We recognize how much better the space is onboard these vans compared to luxury sedans.

It's like Barry Allen doing a minivan review. It's good though, keep it up ! I really like it.

This was an amazing review, i'm not at all interested in a minivan and i started watching it because it was funny and before i knew it i had finished the video. Props.

I was waiting for this one! THANK GOD!

This was the BEST minivan review I have ever seen. Do more car review please.

I prefer vans to cars for lots of reasons. One, a kayak doesn't look ridiculous on top of a van and has room for gear. The van in the video is a good looking vehicle and functional.

@Engineering Explained : I've watched at least 10 minivan reviews, and yours is the best. Never thought I'd buy a minivan, but dieselgate happened and I'm selling my beloved TDI sportwagen 6-spd manual. 2 kids, 1 dog, and adding another dog, so it was time for something bigger. Minivan it was and Sedona SXL was the best fit.

Coolest minivan interview! love this channel

I am about to get one of these myself...for ride-sharing of course. So I dont mind getting laughed at from the people outside of the van because they are walking. Vans and SUV's are more conformable to drive and more practical. This is why I am getting one.

Definitely one of your best. You told a story and it worked. Thanks!

Loving your channel and thank you for all the knowledge you're giving out! Would you have any advice on how to improve comfort and noise level for the 2020 Honda Odyssey? I love in a place where the potholes are deep and the ride gets pretty bumpy. On the highway the noise of the air gets pretty loud and it gets a bit annoying. Are there any modifications you would recommend to improve by passenger comfort?

First minivan review I've seen. Thoroughly enjoyed it, EE. Thanks!

That was a fantastic review Jason, hahaha. I was legitimately interested in the whole video and hearing about all those features makes my 06 Lancer Evo IX MR sound like an ancient relic, lol (Obviously they're two completely different vehicles, but it's always nice to see what newer vehicles are coming out with these days). I think my favorite feature was the one touch power windows all around, I'd really like to have that in the Evo since I always drive with the windows down. But anyways, great review and keep up the good work dude!

OMFG! NEVER laughed so hard in my life, Gotta wipe the milk off my screen! OTOH, if I was in the market for a mini van, I'd consider this one. Great review.

my mother said years ago she would never own a minivan, so she didn't buy one. she bought a 2006 expedition with decent options, seating for 8 and all the room we could need. of course this also came with the fuel economy of about 12 city and 16 hwy which has now caused her to also buy a G6 and a CRV (we still own all 3) within the past 9 years. so maybe if she bought a minivan back in 2006 we wouldn't have all the cars we have.
