What's the main cons of leasing a Pacifica hybrid over sienna?
Cr***y drive
Depending on the price difference it may work for you though...
Take one for spin and you'll notice the differences right away.
Pacifica is ok if much cheaper and for a short lease IMHO.
Can't compare to Sienna/Odyssey.
We're obviously talking Sienna hybrid, since the question was about a lease (ie presumably new car) and they don't make a gas only version anymore. Saying you can't compare to Sienna/Odyssey makes me think you're talking about relative to a legacy Sienna. If someone's worried about drive quality, they should test drive the 2 hybrids for a proper comparison, as the difference might not be as pronounced as you might think.
I leased a Pacifica (non- hybrid) 3 years ago. When I asked my broker what the buyout would be, he basically said I'd be giving it back - "you don't want to keep it."
Three years later, I talked to my mechanic about keeping it vs getting a new car in today's situation. He said "give it back".
The quality doesn't compare to a Toyota or Honda.
That's not really a reason not to take a lease, unless you think there's a strong possibility you'll want to buy it out at lease end. I have heard of people having issues during the lease, but that's not as pronounced a difference as the longer term quality, and might be worth the risk for the right price discount.
