Kia Sedona: Would-Be Bike Hauler

Photo by Caroline Pardilla
I'm in the market for a new city bike and have my eye on the Electra Amsterdam. And I was more than happy to take home the Kia Sedona for the weekend so that I could transport my new purchase since my real-life car, the Corolla, could do no such thing without a rack. With easy-to-stow seats and a maximum cargo capacity of 142 cubic feet, I'd have ample room. Plus a power lift gate that opens via the key fob meant that I could load the unwieldly cargo in one fluid motion, without having to struggle with the key and pulling open the heavy lift gate...
However, seems the weekend has gotten away from me and I didn't get to buy the bike. Sigh. Instead of a shot of how my beloved Electra fits in the Sedona, you get a shot of the empty but extra-squeaky cabin.

I love my Electa bike! I have a Townie.

I would rather pay more for a Sienna of Odessy than get a good deal on a minivan that comes standerd with a built in cricket orchestra.

gee redliner, you are right...every single Sienna and Odyssey on the road has absolutely ZERO squeaks or rattles. It's really a clear-cut choice, isn't it?
 
Can you hear the sarcasm?
