Kia Sedona - No Friend to the Fair-Skinned

Kia Sedona - low windows

I couldn't get my arm out of the sun this morning. The Sedona's side windows are cut so low that no matter where I put my arm -- on the wheel where it should be, or on the armrest in search of shade -- I couldn't escape the rays.

I feel very exposed in the Sedona. Looking at other vehicles around me, most of their windows are cut higher...

Kia Sedona - getting dirty

On another note, our Sedona is getting a little grungy at only 6700 miles. It gets a lot of family use and the light colored interior really shows the grime. We'll be getting it detailed soon, so consider this your "before" picture. We'll post "after" shots when it's been restored to its fair self.

I like vehicles with low-cut windows much more than the alternative, but the left arm "commute tan" is always annoying.
 
I've had a Miata for the last 1,200 miles, and now I just have silly tans all over. But my left arm is still darker. Oh and as a Miata driver, I feel a lot more comfortable next to vehicles with low-cut windows. Some drivers don't see me at all.

That's what UV blocking window tinting is made for.

Very surprising to see someone complain about the windows being cut too low. I've never read a review or comment like this. The comment is usually the opposite -- 'the windows were too short' or 'I felt confined or visibility-restricted in this vehicle.'
