Hi..  thought the following might be useful to those looking for a larger sized mpv. Bought ours in June this year for an excellent price .  Had the usual run of  a picasso , 2 tacuma's and 2 scenics but found them sadly lacking in space. Sure , they were economical  but too fiddly when space was required . The Sedona is huge by comparison ,but still very easy to drive and manouvre in town or out on a run. Handling is excellent , no vagueness whatsoever and the power steering light and positive. Suspension is also very good, giving a comfortable ride. We've just completed a trip to southern Germany and back and it performed superbly . Fuel consumption around town / local trips is averaging around 32mpg , and a brilliant 42+ on the long trip just completed. Interior is functional with 2 captain chairs with armrests up front, great on a long journey, followed by a second pair immediately behind. Child seats are easily fitted thanks to sliding doors and acres of space. Brilliant for getting the kids in and out. Ours has the bench seat on the third row which has loads of movement forward and backward and giving the option of reclining fully or the seat base can be raised level with the backrest, enabling prams, shopping etc to be carried with ease.Usual storage areas, loads of cup holders etc, and a lockable drawer under the passenger seat. Heating is first rate with seperate controls for rear passenger area and the air con works very well when required. Rest of the controls are easily reached and with height adjustable column and seat , always clearly visible.It's  even got a turbo boost switch ! Haven't tried that , but it cruised the german autobahns at 90mph with absolute ease.

Completed 6000 miles since purchase and can honestly describe it as the best mpv we've had. Keep the diesel engine well serviced, I'm having mine done every 6k ,and it should last forever.

Will I buy another.....definitely.

Cheers.   Dave.
