Toyota and Honda Account for Two Best Minivans; General Motors Accounts for 5 of 8 Worst
By James B. Bleeker
By the 2006 5-year Reliability Percentrank average for model years 1998 to 2002, the Toyota Sienna minivan scores the highest with a Reliability Percentrank average of .81, and the Honda Odyssey minivan scores second with an average of .75. Both scores fall below the overall 5-year corporate averages of Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Company, which are .90 and .88, respectively.
Nonetheless, both the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey shine when compared against the minivans by General Motors Corporation. GM's Chevrolet Venture van, extended version, has a 2006 5-year Reliability Percentrank average of .29, GM's Pontiac Trans Sport/Montana, extended version, .29, GM's Chevrolet Venture van, regular version, .06, GM's GMC Safari van, .04, and GM's Chevrolet Astro van, .04. These five account for 5 of the bottom 8.
The following chart depicts the 2006 5-year Reliability Percentrank averages of minivan models having an average. Mazda's MPV average is based on 3 model years of data (2000-2002) and Kia's Sedona average is based on only one model year of data (2002). All others are based on 5 model years of data.
The following table provides the Reliability Grades for each, per the high standards.
