Replying to: pcsr (Aug 07, 2005 8:38 pm) My Accord 2000 barely gives 28-30 mpg in highway driving and it is only 155hp. You want a 255 hp large van to give 28 mpg? You must have known by now that the EPA estimates are unusually positive since it done at 55 m/h on cruise control with no AC. Do you drive like that? Or does anyone drive like the EPA driver? When the new methodology of EPA estimates are put in place, all vehicle mpg ratings will go down but they will look like real life numbers. Tell me which comparable van (Sienna, T & C and Quest) gives 28 mpg on the highway consistently?

Replying to: mich_chow (Aug 06, 2005 9:23 pm) It is upto you if you want to believe or not believe the JP Power ratings. The JP Power rating simply reflects the view of the Ody owners. You will agree that the 2005 Ody has had lots of quality problems. Some folks consider these problems to be minor but others who have spent their hard earned money expect better quality from a $30K vehicle. Do let us know ultimately what you decide! Good Luck! |

anyone gone on a long trip and used that little 8th seat yet??? have a chevy venture with 8 seats (only reason to buy GM back then!!) but GM in its infinite marketing wisdom no longer makes any minivans with 8 seats so its either the Sienna , which has a proper 8 th seat, or the Ody with that weird little thing. Sitting in the dealership and in it for a few miles the kids don;t seem to mind but wondering what its really like for prolonged periods. Seems like it can't possibly be as good as a "proper" seat.

Replying to: dilbertzzz (Aug 08, 2005 10:07 am)  I have always been able to get better than EPA ratings by driving responsibly but Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Mojave Desert of California have long stretches of open road.  On the other hand, EPA City ratings are not so easily achieved if driving in stop and go traffic. It is virtually impossible to have identical driving situations in city driving. ( I quickly deleted posting # 4214 when I realized it was in the wrong forum).

I still don't understand. Why would ody owners rate the ody body styling 2*. I wold think if you do not like the body styling you go buy something else that you like. Something iffy there. Looks like not all ratings are given by ody owners. Some may be given out by some independent judges/companies who get paid by Toyota? |
