What does Edmunds.com Say?
“Intended to provide a luxury minivan
experience, the Monterey is both safe and
stylish, but key omissions on the features
list, an underachieving V6 and a general
lack of refinement, make it less appealing
than upscale vans from Chrysler, Honda and
Toyota.”
The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com
Pros
Extensive list of safety and convenience
features, sharp interior design, torquey
V6 engine.
Cons
Unimpressive fuel economy numbers, less
horsepower than top competitors despite
larger engine, lacks overall refinement
and a few key features, expensive compared
to similarly equipped peers.
Safety
The Monterey earned five stars across the
board in government crash tests, and picked
up a "Good" rating (the highest),
as well as a "Best Pick" designation,
in 40-mph frontal offset crash testing by
the IIHS.
Four-wheel antilock disc brakes with Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution are standard on
all Montereys. Available safety features
include side curtain airbags that span all
three rows of seating and the AdvanceTrac
stability and traction control system, which
also incorporates a panic brake assist feature.
