You are in the Honda Odyssey Forum. Your Host is Karens
| Why include Entourage and Sedona when April 08 issue of Consumer Reports reports that Honda "Makes the best cars" and has the most reliable vehicles, the top 2 miniivans are 1st Odyssey & 2nd Sienna. The Sedona & Entourage are not reliable | |

Replying to: autowrite (Apr 13, 2008 7:14 pm) You got it backwards. The top rated van is the FWD Sienna, with 93 points overall. It was 1st. The Ody got 91 points, and came in 2nd. In reliability the Sienna was also rated higher. It's definitely Toyota #1, Honda #2, FWIW. |

I had a 1992 Taurus long-stroke enging. In the 276,000 milometers I had it it never had an engine or transmission problem. The big problems were the brakes, wheel fender rust, wiper motors and tie rods.

For those on a budget, Kia is great. I would just make sure you really get a good deal on it though, if you are going to spend 30,000 on a vehicle, get the Honda for its good resale! However if you are like us, and need a deal, get the Kia. We just got a loaded-with-everything (luxury, power, dvd) 2007 Kia Sedona EX that was a Kia demo car with 1500 miles on it for only $19,500. For that, I think I can swallow some of the things like wind noise or whatever rattles crop up. However if I paid the 33,000 list price for the loaded, or even the 25,000-28,000 "retail", the petty things might seem bigger. Is it really worth paying $10,000 more just to make the inside quieter (maybe the wind noise will block out whining?)....not really for us. But then we've only had this one for two days (traded in our 2004 Sedona, needed more space.) I will say we rented a Town and Country a few years ago on a trip and we hated it!

Replying to: kitagrl (Apr 27, 2008 7:43 am) I've seen basic Hyundai Entourages, new, for under $20k. At that price, they make no excuses. FWIW, though, I got a fairly well equipped Sienna for $25 grand, power doors on both sides, 6CD, a lot of stuff that $20k Entourage would not have had. So it's definitely not $10 grand more. Maybe $3-4k.

Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 28, 2008 11:05 am) L AUTOMATIC $30,995.00 GL AUTOMATIC $33,395.00 GLS AUTOMATIC $37,495.00 Limited AUTOMATIC $39,495.00 Gas is currently $1.22 in Ontario oer litre and most other provinces at %1.34+ $1.22 works out to $4.61 per gallon. And as you know gas is going up! I am on a pension with a 2002 Odyssey. I am keeping it and keeping it in repair (possibly forever). It currently has 200,000 kms on it. The next time I would probably want Honda's Stream (when it comes to NA) or Toyota's micro-minivan in a disel/electric hybrd.
