Ody can be a better deal but I would shop around more, because I think you can knock another grand off Honda's price right now. 4. For the same price, get a 2008. It's one model year newer and will boost resale. 5. I got a Jensen 12.1" DVD system, fully installed, from Circuit City for $900. That was a special sale, now they're $999. Smaller screens are even less. It's not fully integrated but that was OK with us.

| I have 2003 Sienna and I need to change the starter. I feel that I could change the starter granted I can get to it. My question is- where exactly is the starter, there is so much other parts in the way. Is the starter easier to access from the top or bottom and is there a lot of other parts to remove to get to it. | |

My niece is pregnant with her 3rd child and wants a 4th. She will soon need to buy a larger vehicle to accommodate 3-4 car seats. What type of vehicle would you recommend... SUV? minivan? Something else? I am concerned about safety first then costs (initial and operating). Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Minivans will accomodate the 6 of you and the stroller, port-a-crib, diaper bag, back pack carrier, baby bath tub, tricycle, etc. Power doors are awesome, so I recommend those. When the kids fall asleep and you have to carry them to bed, you just press a button to close them behind you. As a class they tend to score well for safety. This 40mph crash test conducted by the IIHS doesn't even penetrate the passenger cabin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqj2jloxTgc |

Hi, I've been using edmunds alot during our current search for a mini van. We're about a month into the process and have narrowed it down to either the Odyssey ex-L or Sienna XLE. I'm getting fairly comparable offers (little lower for the Honda actually) for each but with the Sienna I'd use the 36 month 0% financing.

Replying to: wayunderpar (Feb 10, 2008 12:28 pm) Let us know if you have any questions. I have an 07 Sienna LE, but the Ody was a close 2nd choice. At the time of my purchase, the Ody cost a bunch more for what I wanted. IMHO if you want comfort and isolation, go with the Sienna. If you are willing to sacrifice a bit of road noise and a harder ride, the Ody is more rewarding to drive, sportier and with more steering feedback. Both are good choices. Toyota's engine sealed the deal for me, though.
