Re: Buying a 2007 Hyundai Entourage soon and need your expert advice
I appreciate the insight on the Entourage from y'all. My wife has
really fallen in love with the Entourage over the Odyssey. You see
the Odyssey everywhere in the New Orleans area but I have only seen
one Entourage. I know that will change since the Entourage is new but
I like being different than the "herd." I never thought I'd get to
the point in my life where I would be excited about a minivan but I
guess 39 must be the right age to make that shift. While I'll still
lust after the new Shelby Cobra GT 500 I know we will be very happy
with the Entourage.
The Kia and Hyundai minivans, are those both made at the Alabama
facility? It seems that reviews like the NVH level of the Hyundai
better which jibes with your observation in the post.
So we plan to buy at the end of the year and hopefully Hyundai will
have a nice selection with an year-end clearance sale going on to make
the deal sweater. After much consideration, I think my wife has moved
from the SE to wanting the fully-optioned LIMITED. I don't mind as
long as she is happy with the purchase as we plan to keep this baby at
least 10 years.
So keep the sound advice and comments coming folks, it is greatly
appreciated!

Re: Buying a 2007 Hyundai Entourage soon and need your expert advice
When you get the chance, keep us updated on how your Entourage
experience is going. Since we are waiting until late December to buy,
your experience will be valuable to let us know how the initial few
months of Entourage ownership goes. I admit my main point of
interest is going to be real-world gas mileage since the EPA is about
as reliable a guide as a 7-day weather forecast.
Thanks,
Robert
