| I like my sienna, but love the ody's better...i'm thinking of getting rid of my sienna for an odyssey..i have run-flat tires and my car is soooo noisy..can't stand it. I keep getting a nail in it, and you guys know how much it costs to replace. Bought the car and 6 months later got a nail in it, had the tire replaced, a year later same thing, i have a screw in it this time and the other 3 tires need replacing because they're getting bald. This is my advice to all of you, do not get run-flat tires! You'll be paying out your wazoo just in tires... | |

Replying to: hansienna (Sep 09, 2008 2:42 pm) Once in a while the wife will drive and I'll sit with the kids. The front passenger seat folds flat so I put a pillow up there and have a foot rest. Very nice, and very comfortable. I could take a nap there. Total seat width for those 3 chairs is wider than the Ody's middle row. Same for the 3rd row. There is more width, take a tape measure and you'll see. A couple of inches in both rows, at least. You find seat comfort better in the Ody, but that is subjective, because we are all shaped differently. I found the Honda's leather was very hard, and ruled that out right away. The LX cloth was good, the EX I didn't like as much. 3 across seating was too narrow with booster seats mounted on both outboard seats, so the Sienna won the seat comfort battle easily, by a wide margin actually. Mine's very quiet, maybe some of your seals are bad?  Yes, the Sienna gives up the climate control, but you gain a Trip Computer, which you don't get in the Ody until you step up to the Touring model. That's a big one for me. I refer to the mileage all the time, and would miss it a lot. Again, subjective, what's more important to you? The ACC or the Trip Computer? To me it's the latter, your priorities may vary.

(and also have power sliding doors both sides, cast wheels, and a cassette player). As stated earlier, the 2007 Sienna has MORE power than the 2006 Sienna while keeping the same EPA fuel economy ratings and the price increase was very modest.

We got rid of our 2004 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD and got a used 2007 Sienna XLE with package 6. We paid only $22,881 for it and it is fully loaded with only 20,805 miles. Awesome Deal  Love the new engine and gets way better gas mileage then our 04 AWD. I like the new opitron gauges a lot. Bluetooth is nice and the Dvd/Navigation is awesome!!!

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 1:03 pm)  By my estimate that about 13K off the MSRP of a similarly equipped 2009. Around here the dealers want that much for a 2007 LE with EVP1 and wouldn't budge even when I told them they were nuts and walked away. If I could have found a deal like you did I would have bought used. As it is, after 2 months and 3Kmiles we are still quite pleased with our 2008 LE with EV2 and Audio upgrade. It is quiet and quick and gets excellent fuel economy. |

Replying to: hansienna (Sep 19, 2008 3:21 pm)  It is still worth $24,900 if we traded it in and $30,500 if the dealer wanted to sell it for that much. Check KBB. 08 Town&Country Touring's in my area are selling for $15-20K with under 30K miles. Our van also has wheel covers but they are going to switch them tomorrow hopefully. |

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 4:42 pm) A repo at auction with a missing second row explains something of the price though it sounds like they are giving you the seats with the price of the van. Still not a bad deal. I also noted that while Toyota and Honda dealers wanted more than $20K for relatively barebone 2007 vans, the 2007 Chryslers and Dodges could be had in the low teens. Our problem was that as much as we disliked the 2008 models, the 2007 and older were much worse. My wife felt especially glad of our choice a few weeks ago at a Las Madres activity when a Chrysler T&C (the only American brand vehicle there) wouldn't start and had to get towed. Scenes like that are exactly why the Big Three are losing their shirts and have to beg the Government for bailouts.
