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

Yep, and so does my 66 year old father.

But does he like old ladies?




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

We went 455 miles (according to GPS, the trip computer reported 444.5)
before refueling...and with gas to spare. The Sedona has a 21 gallon
tank, perfect for long drives.


You went 3,000 miles in 5 days. 600 a day, if you average 55 mph that's over
10 hours a day in the car driving. If you held a steady 110 mph then it is
only 27 hours. You drove 1/8 of the way around the earth going to NC!



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

Yes, Toyota has done nothing to improve the engine, even after the
buggy Honda beat them in all the tests. Now they're 3rd with the new
Sedona out.

Toyota has recalled the engines. They want to modify them to make them
worse!



You paid over 28K$.

We paid 27'950, more than 2K less than average! Read my Epinions.com
review.

You paid more than 28K.



GPS is a distraction. It doesn't save anything unless you are a lousy
driver.

Only a lousy driver would get distracted by a tiny GPS, but if you
can't stay focused on the road keep the radio off as well. I'm glad you
admitted to this. Don't buy a GPS or Sat. radio for your car.


GPS, cell phone, radio, nagging wife = distractions and dangers to driving.



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

Yep, we never drove anywhere once we got to NC!!! HAHAHA!

1/8th the distance around the earth! In crossing 5 states!




Slower? The AWD version doesn't come with an engine.

That's pretty much how we felt when we test drove the newest one.

You got that right.




I'd like to see a decent Sedona that is 3 years old -

Kinda hard for a van that was introduced 5 months ago. The
Sedona/Enterouge have nothing at all to do with the 2002-2005 Sedona.

Same name, same manufacturer, same engineers, same assembly plant,
commonality in parts,...




Those Japs are slackers! It's all over for them.


The folks at Major Toyota and Toyota of New Rochelle seem to think the
new Sedona is a problem for them. It's taking marketshare fast and the
only thing they can now claim is a larger dealer network and better
resale for now. That's not enough stacked against a far better warranty
and better van.

Right, all they have to do is cut the price and run KIA out.



Why do you force your wife to drive an ugly car?

She likes the Tribeca because it looks different. You like cars that
have no personality and blend in and that's what we consider ugly.

Substance beats form any day.

If
being conventional makes you happy, that's fine. But you already said
your cars make statements about yourself.

And that statement is?




Ahahahahahaha!

Yes.
