Consumer Reports Minivan Comparo


And they finished in that order. Order of all minivans tested by CR:

1. Honda Odyssey EX-L
2. Toyota Sienna XLE
3. Nissan Quest 3.5SL
4. Mazda MPV ES
5. Dodge Grand Caravan SXT
6. Ford Freestar SEL
7. Saturn Relay 3
8. Kia Sedona

The Quest and MPV are not recommended because of their poor reliability. The Freestar, Relay, and Sedona scored too low to be recommended. The rest earned the CR Recommended label.

I saw a new Odyessy in town yesterday. The interior looks good, but the exterior is horrible, in my opinion.
