www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday June 21, 2006 - 27 PURCHASE FINANCING STARTING AS LOW AS Continued from Page 15 widescreen, wireless headphones and remote, is ideal when you have kids, keeping them entertained and letting you drive in peace. It's also available on the entry GL and GL Comfort for an extra $1,100. My tester for the week was the topof-the-line GLS Premium. Topping out at $37,195, it includes everything you'll find at the lower trim levels plus leather seating surfaces and power tailgate. It was a comfortable ride, smooth and car-like, with soft yet supportive seats and a minimum of cabin noise. Power flows willingly from its 3.8-litre DOHC V6 - the same one you'll find in the Azera. Pumping out 242 hp and 253 lb/ft of torque, it launches this large vehicle and takes it to highway speeds quickly - enough so that you'll want to keep an eye on the needle. Back to price, with a top end just over 37-grand, this premium minivan boasts enough quality and content to take on the likes of Sienna, Odyssey and the Chrysler Town & Country. The Sienna XLE lists at $44,630. The Odyssey EX-L with RES (rear entertainment system) comes in at $41,900 (but with no power tailgate) and the Town & Country Ltd. (with 7-inch DVD monitor) is $47,305. Sure, the Town & Country has a few more features, such as their Stow `n Go (fold flat) secondrow seats and driver's seat memory, but at a $10,000 premium. Comparisons with competition aside, why buy an Entourage over the Kia Sedona? Tom explains that while the Sedona and Entourage share a common Hyundai-developed platform and are manufactured in the same facility, Hyundai's quality control standards are higher. He likens it to the differences between the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country, adding that Entourage offers a higher quality of interior materials, different exterior styling and numerous features not found on the Kia product. Not having the two side by side I won't draw my own conclusions, but after examining the Entourage's use of leather, high-quality plastics, chrome accents and its exemplary fit and finish, I'll take his word for it.
