Most Wanted Minivan

Honda Odyssey 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.
