From the Back Seat

Rick Cotta

Some other minivans are better dynamically, but none can match Sedona on a features-per-dollar basis.

Tom Appel

In the minivan powertrain war, Sedona comes close to the class-leading Honda Odyssey in power and refinement. It's the equipment for the money that impresses most, however. Feature-for-feature, a Caravan equipped like our $29,665 Sedona would list for $32,650. This price advantage and a superior warranty may help explain the $4500 rebates currently offered on Dodge and Chrysler minivans.
