Odyssey vs Sienna

[EliJelly]

Is the 2011+ odyssey a better more reliable car than the 2008-2010 one or just a newer look ?

Much larger too.

[TimT]

I’m thinking of getting someone a 10-15 year-old Odyssey or Sienna.

1) Does one generally have cheaper insurance than the other in NYC ?

2) Is there any difference fuelwise ?

BUMP
Anybody know anything about these 2 ?

Am I better off getting an older car with lower mileage or newer with higher mileage ?

Ex: 2010 with 110k vs 2014 with 170k

How many miles do you expect to drive?

if they were both mechanically well-maintained I would say this is pretty equal

Lots of times older ones are better.

How so ?

How so ?

The older Siennas are better than the newer hybrid ones.

1. The new Sienna is awful

Anything old is better then new, even with people

it’s missing Pacifica

[Yo ssi]

How so ?

In the quality of production. I would say how the vehicle was up kept us more important then the year.

it’s missing Pacifica

My 2023 sienna engine feels noisy and weak - twice passengers asked if I was in proper gear because of the noise on pickup. Pretty sure it's been this way since day 1. Is this normal or an issue with my van?

[WonderingYid]

Worse brakes.

You can perhaps blame that on the fact that its a rental.

If it's a 2023, I imagine it's still under warranty. Why not bring it into the dealer instead of getting random answers here, no? It shouldn't cost anything.

A very experienced mechanic once told me that years is much more important to look at than miles.

And older is better?

This is normal. I have the '23 as well and when I let someone borrow it they called asking if they were doing something wrong because the pickup is so loud...

Rented another Sienna Hybrid in NYC this week. Man am I happy I don't own this thing, noisy, poor rear climate controls, terrible driving experience overall. Ody drives and sounds like a dream compared to the Sienna Hybrid.

But that being said, it's really a great rental car. Filled it up in Monsey with 3 gallons, drove around Manhattan, dropped off at JFK, and the tank was still above F. Not bad for 155 miles of driving.
