Kia Sedona offers big space for big families

Who ever thought a minivan could be luxurious? Well, the Kia Sedona may just do it.

Just recently I found out I’m going to have my fourth daughter in a few months and my husband and I decided it’s time to upgrade to a minivan to fit the whole clan.

No, even with Kia purchasing a new car isn’t that streamlined. Rather I’m taking great care over a button called “Launch”. I’m ready. I press it quickly and firmly. And my hamster is propelled 21 feet through the air, with the aid of a couple of surfboard-topped Souls.

OK. I’ll tell you what I was doing. Or if you look below, I’ll show you.
