Odyssey vs Sienna

[Joel]

A bit off topic but sort of on topic lol
Can I still buy the 100k warranty if I purchased the car already? (A week ago) At the dealer they offered much more expensive options.

Yes, you have some time. I had a great experience with Jerry—it will cost about a third of what you'd pay at a local dealer. There's no difference in the warranty, it's applied to your vehicle and can be used at any Toyota location.

How long do you have to do it?

[yelped]

but almost every other Honda has a hybrid option if I'm not mistaken

Much harder to have a powerful enough hybrid motor as well a large enough battery to have benefit from it in a larger vehicle like a minivan. Hence the weak acceleration in the hybrid Sienna. From reviews, it seems the new Kia Carnival Hybrid option does have a decent engine, just the battery is not large enough to take full advantage of the electric motor.

How long do you have to do it?

36 months or 36k miles

I don't find the engine to be an issue most likely because I live on mostly flat roads and no hills.

I will say when I go to muncy to visit my parents I definitely feel it, and I would go with the Honda if I lived around hills.

See dan's post. Cant speak to 10 year olds but I have the 2023 (which is a hybrid) and the gas mileage is incredible. Otherwise, the odysey has the edge in literally almost everything. THe toyota entertainment/heat/AC system is horrible; the drive is not great, pickup is bad, second row seats on odyssey move around better (if you have the 8 seater version of each). I think the only thing other than gas mileage the I like better about toyota is the driver arm rest and center console, but that isn't something that would push me to one or the other.

Heh:

Rented a new 2023 Sienna XLE Hyrbid, first time driving a Sienna I think.

Pros:
Love all the storage space in the front, much more usable than the Ody.
Hybrid gas mileage is amazing.

Cons:
Drives like a truck vs the Ody drives like a car.
Worse brakes.
Climate controls seem more confusing and less intuitive, but that could just be a learning curve.
Noisier

Overall, I'd still rebuy the Ody due to much more comfortable driving and braking, despite the worse gas mileage and storage spaces.

I've been hearing that quality has deteriorated over the last few years on both Sienna and Odyssey - anyone have experience or thoughts on this?

In what way?

Our 2023 Ody is over 2 years old now, zero issues.

Not sure - more of a general thing, people recommending to get older models - maybe 2017 or earlier?

I have the 2021 sienna for 4 years now. I just changed the brake pads and tires. Other than standard oil changes, thats been it bh.

[gubevo18]

Heh:

he, nice! On the Climate control, it is a learning curve but it still is the dumbest system and totally not intuitive. Also doesn't work very well and is way more complicated than it should be.  (Same with entertainment/phone/audio).
