The Draw: Low resale values and relatively good reliability make the Entourage/Sedona twins worth a check as your next used family hauler. Owners tend to rave about crash-test scores, spaciousness, ride comfort, and an abundance of handy storage compartments. Low pricing and a lengthy warranty were cited as key purchase factors, too. These weren’t the most flashy or well-equipped minivans in the class, but for many owners, the space, price, and warranty were unbeatable.

What to Check: Common complaints include interior squeaks and rattles, cheap or broken interior trim pieces and heavy fuel consumption. Check all interior electronics, including the climate control, power windows, remote keyfobs, locks, and stereo. A quick look underneath can reveal hidden problems like leaks or rust, and a mechanic can check the state of various suspension components relatively quickly, too.
