Most Wanted Minivan
Winner: Honda
Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey is a near perfect example of the original minivan design concept
a family-oriented vehicle that can easily move both people and their belongings.
The Odyssey has class-leading interior volume and can seat seven passengers if
you choose to flip up the hidden third-row seat. Combine exceptional passenger
and cargo capacity with a four-wheel independent suspension and Honda's powerful
3.5-liter VTEC-equipped V6 engine, and it's easy to see why Honda loyalists and
minivan enthusiasts alike are drawn to the convenience and driving satisfaction
of owning a Honda Odyssey.
Honorable Mention:
Kia Sedona
Kia added a fourth model to its 2002 mix, and it turned out to be a winner of
a minivan. Moderately priced compared to its competitors, the Sedona is a true
value with a beginning MSRP of less than $22,000. That's about $7,000 less than
our Most Wanted Honda Odyssey, and for minivan shoppers who are on a budget, or
for those who simply don't need the extra goodies that Honda packages into its
Odyssey, the Sedona is a solid second choice. And thanks to the van's outstanding
crash tests results, Sedona buyers can feel confident about strapping precious
cargo their children into the rear seats.
