I took 2 years to decide between the Kia Carnival, Chrysler Pacifica or Toyota Sienna. I wanted to get it right because I was giving up my beloved 4Runner for more room for our unexpected growing family. I ultimately chose the Sienna XSE and I couldn't be happier. I have zero buyers remorse.
@bcjammer87 lithium prices has cratered to all time lows. That tiny battery pack is 5k today and cheaper every year. Look at Tesla with 12 price cuts over last 2 years. A S Plaid in 2021 was 150k but I now cost 82k.
I had a 2024 Elite Odyssey for a loaner for two weeks and love it , but noticed it got the same gas mileage as my Pilot. I miss my 2008 Odyssey. Good van to haul family members. The Elite has cabin watch, heated steering wheel, powered mirrors, heated mirrors, front heated and ventilation seats, back seats had heated seats. DVD system and usb all around. I like the 2024 Odyssey better than the 2024 Pilot, which I also had as a loaner.
@@iosifkovalenko8364 i drove the sienna as a rental and its weaker 4cylinder hybrid engine is weaker but its sufficient for my needs. Im only hauling my kids and a double stroller. The ac on honda sucks, the old odysseys were a lot better.
I’ll take the sienna. Resale. Reliability. AWD. 36 mpg. Timing chain that doesnt need to be replaced every 60-100k miles and cost $1900-2200. Pluuuuus I had a 2022 xle awd. It was amazing. Sold it bc I decided not to sell my 2008 sequoia. Haha
Toyota sienna is better better motor better transmission Toyota is the king of the Asian vehicles in my opinion cuz I had these cars before even the Nissan I love my Toyota sienna
For the odyssey, I have a 2017 and went and saw the 2024 and was shocked that they removed the ceiling vents. I wouldn’t even consider getting another one because of that reason. I can’t comprehend why they would change it
Sienna has a composite rear hatch, we have not seen any rear crash tests to see how it would hold up. I would pick anything else over Sienna. They also are keeping this on the down low…
The fact you can’t easily remove middle row seats in a Sienna is a Major Deal breaker for me. Went with the odyssey. I’m ok to overpay for gas a grand or two, but have the convenience of a an actual minivan. Hauling stuff. Camping. Etc.
Ceiling vents are not sustainable. Every car I had owned with ceiling vents had to be replaced due to the heat here in Texas. I prefer the new vents in the odyssey they work great and i have never had to service mine in my 2018 new owener since i bought it.
I highly dislike my odyssey. The a/c vent for the back are terrible. Poor rear facing car seat. I had a Toyota Highlander and a Tahoe prior to this and wish the sienna had been in stock to purchase but it was a long wait so we decided to try the odyssey. Never again!
@@maggwatwatson7845 true that’s why I like suvs I’m not a mother but I have back issues from sports and I buckle in my little sibling in the third row of our crossover but I have had experience with both SUVs and minivans but I like where you coming from
I prefer Not to have ceiling fans. With children easily catching colds from AC blowing on their heads. Especially when they are napping. No fans above are an upgrade to me. Not a downside.
Odyssey can remove entire middle row and stow the third row...gamechanger with the amount of space for moving things besides children.
36mpg, awd, 24/7 climate control, 40k LE model winner has to be hybrid Sienna
24/7 climate control? What’s that?

Report back when the hybrid battery dies after 100k miles and costs $20k to replace
@@bcjammer87 lmao, those batteries last long. Ive ford fusion hybrid with 180k miles, no major repairs.
@@bcjammer87pretty silly comment considering the battery warranty alone is 150k miles. Maybe don’t speak on matters you obviously know little about 👌

Not having Ceiling vents and kids rear facing is a huge let down, the ac sucks on the odyssey. The only reason to get it is for the cabin watch camera
Only reason? It has a powerful 3.5 v6, and a much better value if you consider the ridiculous markups

I'm leaning towards the Odyssey. Can you compare a Chevy traverse with another similar suv?
Why did the photo of the Sienna appear first when she mentioned Odyssey?
Odyssey all the way. The build quality and material used on Honda is much better. Sienna seems to be cheaper though.
2024 traverse compared to Tahoe
Complete different I went to see both.

Pilot vs highlander

Odyssey rocks a 280 hp engine and still gets 22mph
The Honda Odyssey Minivan is due for a full redesign very soon

Either minivan can tow a small trailer. Problem solved.
Love Odyssey

Visually, it be helpful to show the vehicles, instead of your nose
Honda removed standout features and charged you the same price?? Wow, I am so surprised 🙄

Maybe some other vehicles are better in different type of things but I'm talking about motor and transmission Toyota is better far away better
The car mom turns into the car mommy ow
yo kid
The Sienna will not get 36 mpg combined 😂 we had one, it got 29 over 8 month period.
Magic ball moment--do you think any other vans will get AWD?! (C'mon, Honda!)
Stop moving your hands too much, it's annoying.
3 row suvs... Maybe the expedition and the Durango?
Usually people get minivans because they are cheaper and have better gas mileage
@@imapersoninpersonifacation6528 I have back issues so bending down to buckle in kiddos hurts me. Plus access to the 3rd row in mini vans sucks lol

Once Kia Carnival's power train updates to include AWD. It looks to Trump the others
I like the Car Mom!
ofc u do
Both have 3,500 towing capacity.

sienna toyota top
Sienna beats the crap outta the odyssey.
The Odysseys after 2010 look like a funeral hearse. Ugly!
