Another comparison test for Car And Driver Magazine Online, another 1st place finish for Honda.

1st Place Finish: 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L

Car & Driver Summary

Highs: The most confident steering, the best front seats, great instrument cluster, nifty second-row mother-in-law seat. Lows: Narrow passage to third row, fairly loud inside when cruising, body quivers more than most others on bumps. Verdict: Once golden in the class, now a golden oldie.

2nd Place Finish: 2007 Toyota Sienna LE

Car and Driver Summary

Highs: Disciplined and quiet V-6, good passing power, creamy shifts, quiet interior, best second-row seats. Lows: High effort to fold second- and third-row seats, boring to look at even for a minivan. The Verdict: Rolling anonymity.

3rd Place Finish; 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT

Car and Driver Summary

Highs: More stowage possibilities than your local mini-storage, strong V-6, quiet inside, pinpoint overhead reading lamps. Lows: Too much Jeep Commander in the shape, rickety center console, rather bleak interior materials. The Verdict: Can’t beat the clever packaging inside.

4th Place Finish: 2007 Nissan Quest SL

Car and Driver Summary

Highs: High-fashion shape, kneeling second row, low step into the coach cabin, wide passage to the third row. Lows: Third row not split, side-door windows don’t go down, long reach to radio and HVAC buttons, no footrest. The Verdict: Out of step and charming for it.

5th Place Finish: 2007 Hyundai Entourage Limited

Car and Driver Summary

Highs: Lots of frills for your dough, center-stack controls up where you can see them, sweet-sounding engine. Lows: Wheel is Armor All slippery, torque steer in first gear, stiff-legged on rough roads, narrow entry to the third row. The Verdict: Another good deal from Hyundai.
