Default Sedona to North Carolina

Power is really really nice.


Steering? Locks? Brakes? Seats?



Superb, certainly on par with the Honda and better than the Sienna on
all counts. The Honda led the field for comfort until the Sedona.


Comfort counts the most. 1960's Cadillacs were also known for comfort. Old
ladies really like comfort.


The Sienna clobbered that. 26 mpg to Jackson Wyoming and 32 mpg driving

around Yellowstone.



I hope so since the Sienna is so underpowered it lost last year's
shootouts against the Honda in all tests on that count alone. Meanwhile
the Honda continues to have problems all around. Luckily we skipped
both!


If you account for your odometer error, you got about 12 mpg. Makes sense
for driving at 110 mph.

Yes, the Sienna is very underpowered. The speedometer only goes up to 27
mph.


And that happened right after you bought yours, right?


Yep, the cash back incentives ended 2 weeks after we bought ours and
people on Edmunds are reporting over 30K for average price paid for a
loaded EX. Go have a look! We paid 2K less.


You paid over 28K$. Why not just buy from fleet sales with a business check?
It's a lot cheaper that way.


The GPS comes in handy driving at 90 mph in high torrential rains because
you can't see the road or the signs.


GPS can save you gas, time and the Garmin C340 is lots of fun to play
with for pennies!


GPS is a distraction. It doesn't save anything unless you are a lousy
driver. Look at it this way:

You put on 3,000 miles driving from NYC to North Carolina and back. That GPS
does wonders!




How short is that?



Very. The Sienna is terrible for torque and highway driving simply
sucks. I still like the AWD version, but it's even slower.


Slower? The AWD version doesn't come with an engine. It just sits and
doesn't move at all. The AWD has very expensive run flat tires and no spare.



And guess what. When Toyota does the model change the Sedona will be an
old
decrepit dinosaur that can't even get out of its way.


Well, we'll see. The Sedona is the fastest most powerful minivan.


Soon we'll see them running F1 at Monza!

I'd
like to see Toyota and Honda push the envelope even further.


I'd like to see a decent Sedona that is 3 years old - guess what one does
not exist. Plenty of Hondas and Toyotas do.

Meanwhile
more reviews are saying that the Sedona and Entourage are set to
dominate the market. I've driven them all. The Japanese better get to
work and Chrysler should just give up. My uncle in NC owns a new
Caravan and it's awful.


Those Japs are slackers! It's all over for them. KIA might actually have an
acceptable car for once.



Wouldn't that Tribeca just plow through the rain? What ever happened to
that

mistake?


Suzanne drives it to work. It's an AWD tank. There's no one perfect
car...so just own four!


Why do you force your wife to drive an ugly car? Is it because she thinks a
mini van is so "soccer mommish"?



Hahahaha! Ha!


Bwahahahahaha! Bwaaa!

Get that odometer fixed! Or maybe it's the GPS!

Ahahahahahaha!
