TCC’s Bottom Line

A thoughtful interior, innovative seating, and excellent handling make the 2013 Honda Odyssey a standout among minivans--although it is the priciest of them all.

The aging Kia Sedona still offers the usual minivan virtues of people-carrying and cargo-toting, but there are newer, more flexible, safer choices.

TCC Likes

Thoughtfully designed interior
Crisp handling
The mileage of a mid-size sedan

A minivan bargain
Lots of standard features
Reasonably brisk performance

TCC Dislikes

Pricier than other minivans
Front seats need more support
It's definitely not a mini van

Seating isn't the most flexible
Recent safety scores are lower
