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!
