In sheer value for money terms, Sedona is a complete no-brainer when it comes to choosing a big people carrier. It proves that buying this much space and equipment can be affordable, offering a full sized family load-lugger for the cost of something much smaller. That explains Sedona's popularity; buyers never feel they?ve been short-changed.
There's a choice between a smooth 2.5 V6 petrol engine and a frugal 2.9 turbodiesel, which is the more common choice and probably the better buy. There's no shortage of space, with a useful runway between the middle seats for easy access for every passenger. Removable rear seats means that it is possible to create a massive amount of room for extra luggage.
Sedona doesn't promise driving thrills but the dashboard is clear and the seats are comfortable. A firm ride around town and bounciness at speed don't upset passengers too much, and neither will the cheap plastics.
