2007 Hyundai Entourage

Pros: Looks, power, features, warranty, price, safety
Cons: Mileage, a few ergonomic design goofs

I spent a LOT of time researching the current (not so)minivan offerings before deciding on the Hyundai. Came down to Hyundai or Honda Odyssey EX, and I was impressed with both. The Honda is definitely more fun to drive and feels more agile, but I found the dash layout to be confusing and haphazard - odd for a Honda. Anyway, the Hyundai, though not as much of a driver's van, felt solid and more powerful. Plus, it matched the feature list of the Honda despite the lower price. At the end of the day, price and warranty advantages won out over driving feel and the possibility of a higher resale value down the road.

A couple of annoyances are that the reach to the radio controls is far enough to make you lean forward from the driver's seat and that the steering wheel audio controls don't let you change CD tracks.

Four days into ownership and I'm extremely happy with the van. Gas mileage is really my only complaint. City mpg seems to be in the 14-15 range - quite a bit lower than the EPA ratings suggest. Maybe I'm just enjoying the sweet powerplant too much.

Pros: Styling, comfort, conveniences.
Cons: Interior color too light

Honestly this is a great minivan. Probably the best thing about it is the warranty, then the power or pick up it has and then lastly the style. This is my 2nd minivan, the 1st was a Dodge Grand Caravan I owned for 3 years. As mother of 3 I need space with convenience and style. I feel I get this. I have been mistaken on more than one occasion as having an SUV. The looks of this van along with the fact the back windows roll down make it resemble an SUV. Comfortable on long trips and short ones. If I had to mention one thing I dislike is the interior is too light. I own the Cranberry red with tan interior.

Pros: Build, comfort, safety design, placement of equipment, price, and standard equipment.
Cons: The resale value is not as good as a Honda or Toyota.

We compared the Hyundai Entourage to the two leading vans (Honda and Toyota)and the quality, safety, and economic value that you get for this van is exceptional. It is roomy, well-built, comfortable, and, actually, luxurious! The standard equipment far exceeds the standard equipment available in its competitors. All of this and the van was highly rated by the crash test industry. It is fun to drive and it looks good, too! My husband, 7-year-old son, and I adore this van.

Pros: Comfortable great cloth. Roomy. 12 cup holders. Powered everything. Tires for life. Lots of warranty.
Cons: MPG only 14-15 so far

So far so good. Bought today. Same interior as Odyssey but thousands less. Loved cloth better than any other van I've been in. VERY AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE! Space is great and love the back storage area. Power doors are perks with power windows in all 3 rows. Tight turning range. LOTS OF POWER!!!! Great viewing from all angles when driving. Lots of cup holders AND rear outlets as well for powered devices (2 in rear and 2 up front) I bought the SE today listed at $28K and change. Out the door with TT&T for just under $24K very happy so far, but will let you know once I've had it a bit longer. So far MPG is not good. 14-15 in town. Besides that, no bad remarks at this time.
