I've just started my first experience with Kia, and it hasn't been that bad, really. I recently realized that the Entourage and Sedona are virtually twins. Had I known that, I probably would've ended up with the Hyundai simply because there's a local dealer. Anyhoo... you really can't tell them apart, especially from the back. I think the Sedona is a very solid vehicle-- to me it's like driving a tank sometimes. It barely fits in my garage, and I've scratched it several times parking it (yikes!). But, it is convenient, as far as the third seat stow-n-go seats are concerned. It's pretty quiet, and it's been good for my back, so what more can I ask for(except leather seats)?

He set it to hit the windshield when he had to stop. You could use the same idea on the sides, too. I'm getting used to driving a van as well, but at least the mirrors are big and blind spots are small. |

Replying to: hansienna (Jul 15, 2007 9:32 am) Do you really think the Ford Explorer is the best SUV on the market? Dodge has several advantages: * they were first, 1984 IIRC * they have by far the most current owners * loyalty incentives try to keep those customers * other incentives keep prices lower * economies of scale let them charge less money * more fleet sales, as mentioned above As for the "experts", well, they get press fleet cars for free, and aren't paying for them. They pick the best product, period, often times with cost no object. It's not their money. Also, press fleet cars tend to be loaded up to the gills, to show off all the best features available. So they won't have a base Dodge Caravan, they would have a loaded up Town & Country Limited with every single feature offered.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 16, 2007 7:56 am) Best selling means the MOST Value for the price paid. Dodge will continue to be the best selling because of all the advantages listed.

Replying to: hansienna (Jul 16, 2007 7:56 pm) I keep my vehicles for a very long time, and did some math. A +2mpg difference for me adds up to more than $1000 in savings over the life of the vehicle. I bet my TCO will end up no higher than it would have been if I had purchased that $20,600 Grand Caravan (which also lacked SAC and power sliding doors).
