Default Sedona to North Carolina

After a 3000 mile trip, our Sedona is working flawlessly. No rattles,
buzzes or other signs of problems. Power is really really nice. MPG
averaged
on a drive from NYC to North Carolina was 23.1 MPG with 4 people and
luggage. Driving throught heavy rain and high winds at typical speeds
(75-85 MPH), the van never felt unstable. Noise levels are quite low.
So far this continues to be the mini van to beat. The only real issue
is that a loaded one is really not all that cheap anymore...but hey,
that sound system with DVD 7.1 surround sound is one of th best stock
systems on the market. Add Sirius radio and a Garmin C340 GPS and
you'll be all set! BTW, the Garmin is better than ANY factory installed

unit I've tried (Acura RL & Lexus 330) and can be used in more than one
car.
Just for kicks I took the Sedona to 110 MPH and was pleasantly
surprised that it remained glued to the road. With a mini-van you
really want torque on tap and that's where the Toyota really falls
short. Then again, just get into a new Sedona and the Toyota and Honda
feel dated anyway. I've revised my opinion....the Kia Sedona (as other
reviews agree) is now king of the mini vans.
But I'm keeping my STI, which I just drove damn fast through heavy rain
to stock up the boat!
