We got this vehicle to hold our large family and it is a great fit. I love all the space behind the back seats to fit our groceries in. Having access to both sides of the vehicle with sliding doors is great. I love how the seats both fold down and lie back. There are so many different compartments in the front for sunglasses, the GPS, etc. There are two glove compartments on the dash and a lockable safe underneath the front passenger seat. Another reason we bought this vehicle is because our larger 15 passenger van was a gas guzzler. The Sedona has a much smaller tank but does get better gas mileage. When I first drove it, I was impressed how smoothly it rode, even on the highway. Our vehicle is 10 years old, so there are some issues that need to be fixed. The doors locks need to be replaced and the sliding doors need some work. We need to get the back air vents checked out, as they have stopped blowing. This vehicle sits pretty close to the ground, so we have to watch uneven roads. This minivan has held up pretty well for it's age, the seats are still in great condition the interior looks pretty new. We are very satisfied with this vehicle.
