Do you own an Entourage? If you do not then I don't beleve you have enough information to make these statements. I own an entourage and can safely say that your comment is way off base. Nor is it supported by reviews and owner reports across the web. Thanks.

I'd have to agree. Even though I chose a Sienna, the Sedona I test drove was certainly competitive and offered a good value. It's far from being "junk".

I own an entourage too and have absolutely no regrets, NONE!! And on the day I bought mine I would have purchased any of the top four in my list meeting my requirements (not in order), namely Sienna, Odyssey, Sedona or Entourage. And the NVH levels in Entourage/Sedona are extremely low, and quality top notch, as confirmed by numerous quality/safety awards and positive reviews across the web!! Please refrain from making emotional statements.
 
Thanks

I agree also..no regrets. But, my Entourage has had a few recalls; A/C compressor pulley making noise, idler arm pulley making noise and most troublesome was when we got stranded by the ECU going out and not being able to start the van. My van is an early production model so recalls are inevitable and things are working great now. But it;s so comfortable and smooth riding that the wife and I just love it. And a terrific value too. Although I got to admit, that the vehicle this van replaced, a Honda Accord, never saw the dealer again after we drove it off the lot...

we have a later production model Entourage and thankfuly (touch wood) have had no problems yet. I think all models have their problems including the Sienna and Odyssey, just look at their forums. IMO anyone considering a new import car will do very well looking at Hyundai and save a lot of money.

Early ones also had some vibration/alignment problems, but Hyundai finally issued a TSB. Not while I was shopping, though, so that was a small factor in my decision to buy something else.

rapid slowing by shupe

Earlier comments or worries about rapid slowing of Sedona when taking foot off gas. That braking only happens under 40 mph. Cruise over 40 if possible for freewheeling.

Surprising price difference by aberwacky

I've been looking at an Entourage limited with Sunroof package and a Honda Odyssey EX-L--I consider them to be roughly similarly equipped for our purposes.
 
Last "final" quotes I got were surprising:
 
Honda Odyssey-EX-L: $27,536
Hyundai Entourage Limited: $27,216 (including the rebate)
 
The local Hyundai dealership has not been willing to deal at all, despite having eleven 2007 Entourages in their lot and the 2008s on the way. The Honda dealership is openly trying to get rid of the Odysseys to make room for the 2008s.
 
My price (my calculated price to pay based on invoice, rebate, etc.) for the Entourage was $24,281 including the rebate, but the dealer won't even come close. Even without further negotiating, the Odyssey is within $50 of "my" price.
 
I went into this planning on getting the Hyundai--we have an XG300L and a Santa Fe now and are big fans of the automaker--and you just can't beat the standard features (both safety, warranty and otherwise) for the money. However, with the pricing we're getting on the Honda, I may choose that one. Never thought I would.
