General Comments:

In all, this car costs more to maintain than it is worth. Long term durability is questionable (especially with 3 kids). The seat rests are worn, the steering wheel is peeling, the shine on the paint is not that great, there is orange peel paint all over, and the build quality is poor (wel below our Mercury Mountaineer).

The dealer also is a ripoff! He charges me for everything he can to make up for the warranty coverage.

Its not very reliable. I don't mind paying for a few items out of pocket, but when I am out of a car for days at a time, it costs me monet to rent a car.

We have already traded this in for a Chrysler Town and Country which is SUPERIOR in materials and quality. The kids love the dual TV's and wife loves the style. We will never get a Hyundai again!

None

General Comments:

I love my Hyundai! It looks great, drives great, and is great.

Roadside service and warranty are exceptional.

Can drive a long distance without tiring. Quiet.

Every option I required and a lot less expensive.

Faults:

Nothing.

Hyundai has hit a home-run with their new for 2007 Entourage seven passenger van.

The fit and finish, ride, interior comfort, performance, and "bells and whistles" on my Limited with Luxury package in my opinion makes this the best buy out there among vehicles of this category.

The V-6 engine with it's 250 HP delivers zero to sixty performance in the 8 second range for plenty of passing power when needed, but still gets about 20 mpg in blended mileage despite propelling a 4400 pound vehicle.

The surround sound AM/FM/CD/Cassette with tons of speakers gives the impression of being in a concert hall instead of a car. This just begins to describe it's quality features that are too long to list, just go drive one!

I'd been a Honda owner for years and thought I'd be forever until I found this van to equal Odyssey's top-of-the-line model for $10 grand less.

Faults:

Too new - Nothing yet.

General Comments:

It's only a minivan, so what can one expect? Well, Hyundai has come a long way here in Canada. I was completely set on an Odyssey or Sienna. I decided to take the Hyundai out for a spin.

I was surprised that I could get all the features that I need in a minivan for 10,000 less than I was about to pay. Definately a contender in the minivan market. Comes off the same line as the Kia Sedona, although I hear they use different quality materials.

Dealership experience was excellent. Great power (242HP, 251lbs. Torque), lots of space, and they were really thoughtful about feature positioning. Very easy to drive (big change from my Civic, but the transition seems to be going well).

Hopefully I will be able to add more info for potential buyers as I add more mileage. But overall I'm happy with the purchase.
