- Will It Rally? This web series from The Team O'Neil Rally School asks the only car question that really matters: Will it Rally? Ride along as we test the limits of different vehicles on our skidpad and slalom areas, before putting them against the stopwatch on a mountainous rally stage here at Team O'Neil.
In this episode we take out a 'slightly' used Mid 2000's Kia Sedona on a beautiful fall day. Let's see how the MiniVan stacks up against the cars on our rallycross course and full rally stages!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the epic quest to find out.. Will it Rally?

Goes to show even a minivan can look bad ass in the hands of a skilled driver
And a clapped out Korean minivan, at that.
Boring car companies need to start hiring this dude to drive for their commercials, it just might help boost sales
He should have a clause that it has to be the cars,vans or proper offroaders in their range. Using his skills to promote those stupid softroaders and crossovers would be criminal.
@@markwright3161 I can agree with that, crossovers are terrible SUVs because they’re too small to hold anything and they suck as cars because they can potentially not handle as well and they’re painful to look at
..or... should in next james Bond film...or at least a Will Ferrell chase scene
There is just something beautiful about a beater minivan blasting through the woods at angles it should never be at. It may have been the slowest dry timed run, but it was the most fun to watch.
Bless you for giving this old dog one last good run through the woods before she goes to her final rest.
was probably the most fun it had in its whole life, glad it got the chance haha
I love how wyatt explains everything the vehicle is doing, I almost feel like I'm in with him.
As the proud (?) owner of a 2005 Kia Sedona, I can confirm that they've got a surprising amount of move and groove. They're even more fun if you take out the rear seats.
Agree
How are they in snow and crappy roads?
@@katiejon17the suspension is quit forgiving and the seat comfy, also the weight help them on snowy road
3 years late, but we also have a Kia Sedona (2012) and I can tell you this car makes me smile every time I hit the gas. And I've driven other more performing cars, but there's something about the Sedona that makes you smile.
I have a 2008 Kia Grand Carnival and I don't want to replace it because it's so fun to use.
So it has crappy tires, transmission and shocks, open diff and a lot less power, but somehow it was only a bit slower than a V8 charger. I guess FWD is not as bad as people say.
Great show!!!
To be fair, the sedona has 255 BHP 3.5 litre v6. Sleeper! Lol
@@nickpearce2968 serious question ‘cause I’m new: what do you mean? Is this a “sleeper” as in with a few mods it’s be good?
@@katiejon17 no it's literally a stock sleeper lol 255hp ain't little power for a minivan
@@isaacsanchez7317 would you say it’s the better minivan around these days? We are saving for one and live in the same area as the channel is set. Everybody talks about how great Toyota’s and Honda’s are... but in northern NH we need something that can handle crappy winter roads.
@@katiejon17 we used to have a Carnival LX but it had an extreme body roll and soft suspension, it bounced every time it hit a bump and the engine drank more fuel than a jet engine, wasn't really enjoyable tbh
That was heck a fun to watch.
Maybe even more so than the Can Am.
With cars like this the question mark behind, Will it rally? is really warranted.
Part 2 with all the interior removed to see what 400 pound less will get you?
part 3, suspension adjustmens and better tyres.
it would be a nice series!
Less overhanging weight quicker recovery if the ass and a proportionaly harder rear menaing less body roll and more snappy at the back.
My guess. My van.
My mom has one of these. I often treated it like a really car on the dirt roads in AZ.
your grounded sweetheart
Like a really, really car?
Az!!
Sooo...You purposely tried to break your mother's car... Which would have cost a shit ton to fix... Just because you had no respect for your mother's vehicle and your mother... Another reason why this planet is doomed...
seeing a few of the late 90s and early 2000s SUVs go around the course would be fun. honda CRVs, Rav4s, even a bmw X5 would be cool to see.
Mazda had a small suv shared with Ford, I believe.
+1 for the crv
scared the sht out of me when i understeered into an oversteer
Yeah I would love to see all those early models of today's popular crossovers being rallied
My first car I rallied was a 97 rav4.
My dad once ripped a BMW X3 so hard there was grass on the roof 😂😂
will the water truck in the background rally?
Funny you say that, because when I was there earlier this year, one of the guys powered through a corner and the water truck went up on 3 wheels!
When I was in the Air Force deployed to SA during the Gulf War, I did lots of donuts with a water truck. Go POL (Fuel Specialist)!
Wyatt makes it look like a rally prepped WRX out there. Proof that driver mod is the most valuable investment you can make in going fast.
The first reaction from jumping the van was priceless 😂😂
The second jump though.
"That... was not supposed to be a jump there."
My neighbor was trying to sell me their Kia Sedona, I might have a second look at it after this video.
Buy it
Have you bought it yet?
Love that generation Sedona. They are tanks, drive well, tough, reliable, safe, and easy to repair in addition to being comfortable. I bought a 2006 same color as the one in this video except it is fully loaded with leather, heated seats, and in good shape. It was a spur of the moment purchase after my wife totaled our new car and we needed something ASAP since insurance takes too long and the closest rental was five hours away. Anyways, rather than selling it, we decided to keep it, and have transported our kids safely for over 2 years now. Honestly, I would totally purchase another of the same generation with really low miles without worry.
Had a neighbor with one as well and he abused the ever-living piss out of it for several years. I still see it running around town.
Edit: Those funky noises are the control links and are known for going out. Honestly, just pry those off and it will be fine for rallying, haha!!!
I.have a 2006 kia sedona, 260k miles and still runs very good
We owned a 2015 Kia Sedona for a year. Ours was a nightmare with electrical issues keeping it at the Kia Dealership for more than 60 days. BUT, what an awesome motor! The V-6 was a powerhouse and sounded AWESOME at full wail! Because of dependability, it was sent down the road and replaced with a reliable Toyota.
The explanation really shows how less of just a mix of turns and slides it is and how much more of technical input and the results of those inputs Are. Wyatt got mad skill
Lol, that was hysterical. I was looking for aftermarket parts for my sedona, and this video popped up. Glad I watched it, I'm even happier with mine now. Thank you!
I would give you 5-stars on Uber.
That reaction at 6:32 was hilarious, the noise Wyatt made was just too damn funny.
Oh my goodness that was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Your driver content is amazing!
I love how they actually talk about how you could improve the vans performance as if someone is genuinely going to grab one of these and rally it haha. I respect that honestly though, if that's what you got, that's what you're working with 😉👌
The Sedona seems pretty level rotating through the cones and corners.. even so more than most SUV's
I bet this is the most fun that little minivan has ever had in its life ✨✨
Epic. Should have had some Team O'Neil employees in the back. lol
Driving is always more fun with buddies
its one thing to have the skill to do this but the fact that he's calmly explaining everything and commenting on it while doing it is insane
This is what "will it rally" is about! I love it! It really makes you ask will it? Haha more crazy well known vehicles please! Maybe an old vw bus or beetle? 😂
I just traded my '08 Sedona in on a Toyota Tacoma. I now have buyer's remorse thanks to this video. 😜
YESSSSSS. if you ever find one, you should do a older toyota sienna because there awd
we need a previa on the show. it is a midengine supercar after all
I’m in the uk and I have the 3.0 diesel version of this exact same van. 185bhp but weighs tons. It’s slow at setting off with massive lag of the turbo but when it kicks in it shoves you down the road with lots and lots of pulling power. You’ll be surprised. I’ve towed all sorts
every 16 year old knows the answer to this :). Was a trip down wintery memory lane....
I need to see more unexpected vehicles doing this they are always my favorite ones!
get something old from the 60 to 80!!! :P love the show, the minivan was loots of fun!
Awesome video, exactly why I subscribed! Please do more of these Will It Rally videos as they're definitely my favorite!
Seeing normal traffic cars are the best for this type of activity
Haha! Love it! I had one of these..my son, who was 15 at the time...i gave him the keys to drive it home through a most memorable ice snowstorm one day...we had a jeep spin out in front of us..he passed other 4wd getting stuck or sliding off the roads....it was a thrill! The boy is destined to rally..stayed with Kia and now have a Soul..So will a Soul rally?
I loved this one, thank you for rallying clapped out trash like what I drive.
Its not a Chrysler Town&Country but its a minivan! My wish was granted!
I was very very skeptical when my son send me one, and I'm an auto tech and a truck guy , and I've to say that I'm impressed, not only for the power but how simple it is under the hood, and the suspension is very easy to work on as well... I was expecting a ton of wires and sensors and that wasn't the case, the transmission manual mode pulls like a sun of a gun... out of 250 horse power which also I didn't expect, the curve weight left me a bit worried, is almsot as heavy as a v8 SUV, so I'm going to upgrade the suspension, lift it and get better tires, there's where I think the automaker didn't do good, because it needs tires with more load rate...
Thanks for the honest and unbiased assessment , I may get one to carry my packages around...
Love this series! Keep it up!
you shude try the astro in the summer! And i miss this serier it was so much fun
I recently bought my Sedona from Jay Pegs Auto Mart, great car!
My favorite series.
I was super worried this series was dead.
Underrated channel
Also, suggestion: the ubiquitus 1988-2000 $3k Civic.
Everyone knows its the best car.
You just jumped a Kia Sedona. Bravo
Do summer WRX as a benchmark
I'd love to see this with a fresh set of AT Tires...:P
So why is it going to the junkyard? Seems to be running fine!
That’s what my Dad would say! lol
My grandfather is letting me buy his kia Sedona. You already know what's about to happen
Those Kia sedona exs are really bad ass sleeper mini vans, got insane tourqe, amazing on gas
That manual mode is more of a suggestion i drove my dads 2014 sedona in oddly a similar color my biggest gripe driving it was how jumpy the gas petal was by the time we sold it it had 300k on it the paint was shot the steering rack leaked like a siv the trans was missing its shift times and it went through drive tires quickly due to a uncontrolable tire ware for an unknown reason
This channel is sooo "undersubscribed". It's good to see you back in business, posting new videos
Oh yeah. More of that please
Thrilled the Will It Rally? series is back. Slightly disappointed there weren't six people in the minivan or, at the very least, a bunch of juice boxes and stray Cheerios flying around during the test.
Please do a land cruiser, any of them!
YEEEEEESSSSS KIA SEDONA FTW LAMBDA MOTORS ARE GOD TIER
Yes! More like this!
That’s like the best van but I like the 2014 Kia Sedona
Can't wait to see the Can-Am and Tacoma in the snow!
Aah good times... i've had soooo much fun in that car lol....
looks like someone is running late gettin the kids to school!
and then try some of those relatively "new" pseudo SUV fwd.... :P
no joke, I ''used'' to drive our kia sedona like that to school everyday... I still do xD
i thin it could be at least 2 second faster if it would have manual, ditch the seats and decent tires. So it would be quicker than charger :)
I now feel the urge to bring this spare Chrysler Pacifica in my driveway up there to see if it will rally 🤣 sad part is I think it will
But will it beat the Kia Sedona??!
@@Teamoneilrally theres only one way to find out. Are there driver handicaps like in golf? Asking for a friend...
This is probably one of the most interesting vids.. probably. I jist started watching.
looks like fun
Love the cheap car content! Great reminder how important the driver is.
I love these vids
awesome
Oooo try a 2nd gen Chevy equinox or a first gen Honda pilot, my friends got a 2004 pilot and he likes to “rally” it through a little dirt allyway hahaha
if you get another beater fwd car:
Do a video of before and after of Welded fwd differential. And review it. I have heard good opinions on it(in gravel racing/RallyX), would love to hear yours
Ok now i want a Minivan
Id like to see it run again with just the rear seats out. For science
Mom I'm scared. Wyatt is talking slowly.
I've never wanted to drive a minivan more than I do right now
You're going to show us beating it on the trails rite !
If by "it" you mean Wyatt, then yes. Yes, "it" will Rally. Every time :)
Vehicle suggestion - Miata
Wyatt at 6:31 is experiencing one of those gut feelings we all know too well😬😂
I actually really wish I could have 1 of these
I love this. Keep it up.
I find it a bit disturbing how impressed I was
Man it would be fun to be in the passenger seat 😂
Next time on Will It Rally? Recreational Vehicle
If a car is pulling drifts and doing rally, why does it need to be scrapped?
yeh.. it could make a good practice vehicle.. especially for those just looking to sharpen their skills
I wouldn't necessarily still call this a new series as the intro does
The charger I drive is an AWD 5.7 V8. 2019 police package. Might be a fun one to try out if you can get your hands on one. It’s what I drive for work so I’d love to see how it’d fair.
I love to see you do a MK4 Jetta sedan, but I'd settle for the station wagon or the Golf of the same generation
This Kia was seeking a good death, to die with honor!
She needs love, She likes to know her owner before he or she drives her, But she the best mini-van.
btw its not an 05
I can show you pictures of 05 ex if you need
and my 05, ex can rally if she needed. Wouldnt be the first time.
Will love to see a video of a bmw and a fiesta doing that stage as reference
So, when do we get to see the mclaren on this show?
My parents have one of these but newer....wanna rally it so bad lol....
Caravan next
Can you do Toyota Sienna
I’m looking forward to an AWD Sienna test.
Can you do Honda Odyssey
