Odyssey! This is really a good car, very comprehensive, suitable for home
 8) 8) 8)
Ummmm. 1)qho are you responding to? Or are you just so overjoyed with your odyssey that your just shouting out your feelings?
2)i respectfully disagree. If you put your odyssey in your home it'll be very cramped. Also wheat the point? Just get a garage.

In recent years Odyssey facelift a lot, the space increased, I feel is a great car, why do you think it is not good? Although the Odyssey will make the home become very narrow, but it is still a good car home, suitable for families with many children :)

In the 2015 Sienna, when on a phone call, the clock does not show on the screen. Does anyone know if there's a way to change that? I looked through the menu but couldn't find a way.

TIA

is it a myth that siennas are better lasting than oddysseys, as recently theres been a surge in the frum community of oddysseys on the road, and it seems its easier to get? and how much better?

Toyotas have an excellent reputation for lasting a long time.
Hondas are also known to be a very good vehicle.
I think Toyotas hold their value better, so that would mean the car community has more faith in it.


Now let's talk amenities.
Honda has a better backup camera.
Toyota has lots of cupholders, but no phone holders.
Toyota's console between the front seats is just a bit too wide; if something falls in between, you can't see it's there, and you have a really hard time getting it out.

The new Sienna is very nice for driving bunches of small children around efficiently. But the redesign really ruined a lot of the usability/versatility of minivans. The non-removable, non-foldable middle row kills cargo hauling. The width of the back gate is constricted, now cannot fit objects 4' wide (e.g. sheet of plywood, etc). Shoulder and head room in the back row (due to the new design curvature) is inadequate for adult sized humans and uncomfortable even for middle-school sized children. The console in the front is too big, non-removable, and makes it very difficult to climb to the back (admit it, this is something you've needed to do as a parent).

The fact that Siennas are all hybrid now is a huge advantage over Odyssey- Honda can't seem to do a good job on hybrids.

It's a pleasure to drive and less expensive than the Odyssey. But it (deliberately) lost some of the multi-purpose utility that minivans always had, which might be a big turn off depending on what you expect to use your minivan for. The larger and more versatile Odyssey seems to have retained those advantages, so as usual personal preference is a big part of the choice.

Kia killed the Sedona, but that was a great alternative.

I just gave up my Chrysler Pacifica.  Three years ago there was a great lease price, but my car dealer then and my mechanic now both told me to get rid of it and move on.

the transmission on Honda isn't as good as Toyota which is a factor for long term use

And not the remote parking yet, either. It is a very well thought out design, though, with a lot of useful features.

It's a minivan with an SUV look. Very nice!

When that comes with a 4th row to the US I'd definitely consider it.

From what i hear in the past sienna is the Android
Honda is the Apple

Sienna keeps its value lasts long
Honda has a good pick up
