The best van was the Kia Sedona, also with a 13 percent rollover
rating. That was with vehicle stability control set to off, so in real
world driving the Sedona is more stable than most cars. Adding
best-in-class handling, traction control, stellar braking and crash
test ratings and the Sedona may be one of the safest people movers ever
designed. Kia has essentially exploited many years of chassis dynamics
testing by Honda and Toyota and cherry picked the better qualities for
their own flagship minivan. Toyota has a all new minivan slated for
2009 that will no doubt raise the bar even higher.
