One thing i can't believe is that the trend is big 6 seater suv's and people actually choose big suv's over a minivan. Minivans are at least 7 seats and have a great trunk while SUVs are tighter and have a tiny trunk.
Yep. I'm one of those people. Fought with SUVs for years because wife hated minivans, but finally convinced her to get one and now she sees it. Couldn't care less what people think. The minivan is the most practical family oriented vehicle in existence.
@@jeromehill7411 as someone who traded their v6 sienna for the new one I dont even care with gas being $5/gallon everywhere, its nice getting 36+mpg on the highway and city too
Love how quiet the Hybrid is but then again the Honda V6 just screams hard to pick. Only thing I don't like is the Chrome wheel caps at first I thought they were all one until the tech at my dealership told me you can take them off.
The Honda will need a new transmission by 150k. They all do. Too much power and too heavy for a FWD trans to handle. The Sienna's eCVT will last forever.
The kids are all grown up. Our Sienna use case is hauling cargo and also camping (sleeping in the back of the van), and working on the road nomad style. We were extremely disappointed to learn that the middle row of seats were not designed (in 2021 and 2022 models) to, and cannot easily be, taken out. Apparently this is by design and ignores the whole 'haul stuff' and 'sleep in the back of the van' nomad lifestyles that we were hoping to do. It is a huge disappointment and might be a deal breaker.
@@hadokenexe definitely not the same. I am tanking mine out to get a hot water heater later today (2015 MY). This 2nd row no removal is the single biggest barrier to purchasing a new one. The second is I would prefer a plug in. The 3rd is the removal of the bluray player (free movies at the library and the kids pick out a bunch for road trips).I love that we get seasons of classic shows..they love Dennis the menace and lassie etc.. If I could fix those 3 things, then take my $55,000!! Rav4prime drivetrain please with a bluray and 2nd row...I know they won't go back though unfortunately. So may go, ugh... Chrysler next.
@@michaelrogers2136 yeah I can see why it wouldn't fit your use case. I'm willing to bet in a few years there will be a plug in version (that would be the only nitpick I have as well). As for the Bluray player, that's the one thing you could fix in this model since it has a full outlet and HDMI port in the center console under the monitor. We have a firestick (and the built in LTE) and a Nintendo Switch back there for the kids.
@@michaelrogers2136 Well put! Agree. The fact that we cannot take out the second row of seats from the back (we have NO use for them) is the single biggest barrier to us not purchasing a Sienna. We have been Toyota loyal since 1994 (!) - We are looking for non-Toyota vehicles now.
Bruh I thought the car seats were trippin'. I thought to myself that Toyota need to fix their faulty malfunction. Turns out there was a hidden tool. Haha
Newer cars are so throaty. I never hear the engine inside my 2002 Dodge Intrepid with the 2.7 anymore. Since I fixed the exhaust it's pitch quiet. It's to quite. I wouldn't mind some acceleration noise.
@@thendino1Buy this, more mpg and more reliable, Honda Odysseys have transmission issues and an outdated engine, I would maybe recommend a kia carnival if you want more of an suv looking minivan and more luxury, also cheaper :)
The "transmission" is basically an electric motor and an electric generator connected by a planetary gear set. The engine has to rev high during acceleration, it's generating a lot of electricity for the motor.
@@jxmar_ exactly. Its not hard at all I have 1 and never had issues with the seats. I don't understand this video. Maybe trying to record and not knowing how 2 is the issue.
Now imagine explaining to every single passenger, how the seats move, what to pull and where to push to get in the third row or adjust the second row... The driver has to do it all by himself every time and that's a huge discomfort
not really, i was actually a passenger in one recently. first time in it. took 10 seconds to figure it out. it really isnt as hard as he made it look...
@@silversonic99 That's easy for car guys, but imagine if your passengers are older people who are not so technical, or kids... The easiest seat management is in Acura MDX. "You see a button with the seat on it? Press it", that's all you need
lol where is the "spirited driving"? my literally grandma drove more aggressive than that. The 05 was peppy for it's size, I was hoping to actually see some more aggressive driving here :/
Those seats killed any interest I had for the vehicle. Sure it only took him a few minutes, but that could turn into 10+ minutes of frustration for the average buyer. The fact the seats have to move in such a weird way I'd a deal breaker

@@OldDood every van will be reliable for the first few years. It’s only after 10 years or if you buy used is what the real test is I can bet a Pacifica phev will be more efficient with the ability to plug in Also considering the sienna is not the best selling minivan
@@MattCC16Gaming the interior isn’t even best in class. That goes to the Pacifica and carnival. The interior space is also lagging. So is cargo practicality. The last gen model had class leading cargo space vs the others. Now it’s middle to below average. The second row seats don’t even come out anymore like before. Also The tech like the infotainment (even though I love Toyotas system) and the gauge cluster isn’t great vs the Pacifica or carnival. Plus unlike the Kia carnival Theres no cool factor The hybrid system though is what’s great about it

While it sucks not being able to take them out entirely, they move up really close to the back of the front seats to leave a lot of space in the back

Really don’t like how the engine just holds at a certain RPM. Probably a CVT thing but I wish it simulated shifts
The "transmission" is a dual-motor planetary gear set, not a belt and pulley CVT. It can simulate a 6-speed using the manual mode.

It doesn’t help that you drove it like Smokey and the Bandit! You did a disservice to how great that powertrain really is.
A truly great powertrain can perform well under ANY driving conditions. If spirited driving shows it to be a turd, then a turd it is.
That intro cracked me up 😂
Very smooth ride. 👌
I'd love to have one of these for my courier work. I hate driving my tiny Prius on the freeways with all these giant vehicles looming over me.

The level he was looking for was the one attached the the seat cushion
Slow speed pick up, engine roar(without much speed gain), and excessive rpm ex. 7:16 and freeway entries,. What's wrong with the transmission?

CVT

He just didn’t know how to move them..
They’re not hard, it’s user error
