Haven't yet test driven either vehicle (will test drive both next week), but me thinks I'm leaning towards the Sienna. Interior room (especially the leg room for the driver), & what appears to be a "better" set-up for the folding rear seat is making me think the Toyota is the way to go (this coming from a guy who in the past favors Honda  ).

Replying to: fmichael (Mar 13, 2009 8:26 pm) So,I think u could wait for the newer version.B``cos ,in effect u are buying a 05-09 previous generation model. And when they come out,,any leftovers maybe heavily dicounted. Just MHO.

So glancing at the 2009 buying guide I was glancing at the minivans and not to change this topic towards any make other then "should not be discussed" it is nice to see that CR is still rating vans on data from Sept. 2006 Great job their guys...

That means no hit-and-run trolls doing any ballot-stuffing, because they verify members and stay in touch with them. That also allows them to rate even some 2009 models, which is impressively fast. The Sienna ranks best among vans on that site, also. Newer Odys not far behind.

I decided to buy a sienna. I owned an odyssey 2000 EX and this car is only use for traveling 95% highway. I take care this car like a baby. Below are problem that I have to deal with: 1. 60K SRS light 2. 79K catelyltic converter (I was lucky under warrantee by honda) 3. 100K replace timing belt waterpump belt tensioner routine maintenance ($500 labor and original parts) 4. 101K transmission gasket leak. Have to drive until trans break down ($1500-$2000) quote 5. <30K Numberus times try to deal with automatic door. (under warrantee) Beware: Honda Cons: I drove a new 2009 odyssey. Road noise is worse than my 2000 odyssey. The Transmission on new odyssey is the same (good luck if you buy one). I try, try and try to shut the saleman up because he always said honda never break. Price to high. In my opion noth worthy. Transmission is not as smooth as sienna. They might fool you about gas mileage. check this site out for real MPG http://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do?action=browseList Honda Pro: Look better. Good advertise from dealer. good engine. Sienna Pro: Sienna is timing chain. If slide door motor go bad you can always disengage automatic door and goes for manual. Much less road noise than Odyssey. Sienna Con: 17" wheel is expensive 150 a pop. Don't look as good as honda. |
