Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 19, 2007 6:14 am) When I test drove the top four repeatedly over 2 months scratching my head, the Kia was the quietest followed by Toyota on some days. On some occasions I found Toyota/Honda to be quietest. Unfortunately Hyundai had only a GLS for test drive and it was not as quiet. The limited one was a manager special on the floor and I had to buy my new Entourage without test driving. At idle/initial acceleration, the entourage has a sporty exhaust note but it is whisper quiet with seamless shifts. I also found the interior quality to be quite good, though, I liked Nissan's interior quality the best. Kia had hydraulic engine mounts, 5 speed transmission, and independent suspension on all four wheels as early as 2002. My first minivan, a 2002 sedona ex, was whisper quiet and we were sad to see it go.

Replying to: shaky4 (Jul 19, 2007 7:46 am) To be honest I felt the Sedonda, Entourage, Sienna, and Odyssey were all on an entirely higher level than the Quest, though to be fair I haven't driven the newer ones with the redesigned interior. |

In Canada RunFlat tires are standard on the Sienna and not available on the Odyssey. Up here the Odyssey uses 16" tires.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 16, 2007 7:56 am) Do you really think the Ford Explorer is the best SUV on the market? **Sidebar: Ford's gas-guzzler Explorer (it really eats gas to be so small) is now behind in sales to the number 1 Honda CR-V. ****Now back to your regularly scheduled minivans. Stay tuned for to GRAD News for more random updates****

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 24, 2007 8:18 pm) Even the CR-V, though, isn't what I'd consider the best SUV. No V6/engine upgrade option for starters.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 25, 2007 7:20 am)  Too many people do NOT know the difference between a REAL pickup and a small Light Utility Vehicle because of false advertising. Same with AWD vs 4 WD. Honda CR-V vs Ford Explorer: NO Comparison. Are they the same type vehicle? Isn't the CR-V built on a Front Wheel Drive car frame with AWD optional while the Explorer is built on a Rear Wheel Drive truck frame with 4 Wheel Drive optional?

Replying to: hansienna (Jul 25, 2007 9:39 am) And what about 2WD SUVs, are they still SUVs? Heck, the whole SUV label is a misnomer, what Sports do they practice, exactly? At least Subaru competes in WRC. Explorers aren't particularly good off road, so that may not be the best example.
