Summary
Considering the 2007 Entourage is Hyundai's first minivan it is a remarkable vehicle with good safety equipment and good crash protection at a competitive price. Neither Honda nor Toyota did as well with their first minivan efforts. Short-term studies have shown Hyundai's quality has improved considerably but the unknown is its long-term quality often defined as a minimum of three years. Meanwhile, Honda and Toyota are known quantities. For consumers the issue is whether all the Entourage's attractions offset that unknown reliability. A long warranty is a comforting thing but if a vehicle has problem after problem knowing each problem t will be repaired for free may lose its appeal.Chris Jensen test drove the Entourage in New York.

| 2007 Hyundai Entourage consumer reviews: | | | | overall rating |   | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | Very comfortable and safe for any size of family with kids. Its spacious. Gives you quiet ride and nice selection of colors. Excellent handling in wet conditions. Great visibility. I would still suggest to bring down the price of the ultimate package, and provide a larger DVD screen. | | posted by A Cameron on Apr 21 2007 | | |

| | The 07 Hyundai Entourage certainly exceeded my expectations. I like all the features on my vehicle, especially with all the electronic doors that open either with the key pad or just a tug on the door. I would like to have seen a GPS system offered with the Limited Edition and a console between the front captains chairs as an option. | | posted by Hunter on Jul 15 2008 | | |

| | It is a solidly built Car. The styling is unique and still nice to look at. It is easy to move around inside and super comfortable to both ride in and drive. The only suggestion I would give is to make floor mats standard on all models. | | posted by Kristofer Alan on Sep 26 2008 | | |
| overall rating | | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | Only had it for three months now and have had no problems. Nice acceleration, nice brakes, firm drive, and excellent value. My Favorite features are the Power doors and liftgate; Infinity speakers and surround sound; Power adjustable brake and gas pedal. Love it! | | posted by Samuel on Oct 18 2008 | | |
