None of the Quest's minivan rivals look as sharp from the outside, but from a purely practical perspective, it has many strong rivals with excellent seating layouts and kid-friendly features.
The Kia Sedona and its twin, the Hyundai Entourage, have nearly matched the best sellers in the class with strong V-6 power and flexible interior seating, though available features lag somewhat.
The Toyota Sienna has good performance, plus a version for disabled passengers, while the Honda Odyssey has its famed Magic Seat and a silky powertrain.
The Dodge Grand Caravan has all sorts of convenient storage and seating options, as well as enough DVD players for a mini-theater.
