The Kia was a 2003... had a wiring problem with the SRS system that caused the airbag warning light to always be on. Despite assurances from Kia and my mechanic that the system would still operate, I just felt uneasy about it. Also, I started a new job with a lot of driving, and the Kia just wasn't up for it... 140K miles, terrible fuel economy, and the a/c stopped working. Definitely time for an upgrade. When choosing a new ride, it was down to the Kia Sorento or the Mazda 5. We were priced out of getting an Odyessy, which is what we really wanted. But for two kids, the Odyssey is kind of overkill, as far as size is concerned.
