It’s some time since we waved goodbye to the awful unreliable lump that was our Kia Sedona and back in 2009 I set myself the target of denying Kia £1 million in car sales to repay them for their glorious customer service ethos.

Well, just over 2 years later the blog posts here on the subject have amassed a rather reasonable 32,508 unique views… if each person that read about our experience with Kia was turned off from ever buying one then that’s a lot of potential customers down the drain.

Now it would be daft to assume that all those users are actually potential Kia owners (though they could be), instead lets work on the basis that only a teeny tiny 0.5% of those visitors were actually people who were considering buying a Kia and lets consider that the average Kia costs in the region of £10,000. Despite the small percentage this still suggests a rather impressive £1.6 million worth of potential sales now lost. Therefore I declare victory.

To close I’ll just say that I found this recent article about the planned demise of the Kia Sedona in 2011 a mildly amusing read, in particular the following line from a Kia company representative:

…production [of the Kia Sedona] will end due to reduced demand.

Well hopefully my readers made a small contribution to that reduction.
