Replying to: chuque (Apr 30, 2009 7:22 am) I may get some for my Miata. I've seen some beautiful back/blue two-tone seats, and I could add seat heaters.

Is it me or does the Sienna accelerate smoother than the Odyssey. The Odyssey has a little "jolt" before accelerating. Replies to this message: hause7 (May 03, 2009 9:44 pm) decon (May 04, 2009 2:44 am) fillykonk (May 04, 2009 8:08 am)

Replying to: decon (May 03, 2009 6:19 pm) We noticed the same thing when we were looking for a replacement for our 04 Sienna we test drove an odyssey and it felt sluggish and when you take your foot off the gas it feels like it slows down way too fast. So we ended up with our 07 Sienna which is a rocket. Replies to this message: decon (May 04, 2009 2:44 am) fillykonk (May 04, 2009 8:08 am)

Replying to: hause7 (May 03, 2009 9:44 pm) I really liked the interior of the Odyssey, the Sienna felt like a boat. It's a toss up for me still. The rear view mirror on the Odyssey and viewing angles from the driver seat were better. I don't think I could stand the acceleration not being smooth.

Replying to: decon (May 04, 2009 2:44 am) We don't notice any acceleration problem in our 09 EX-L at all. There may have been a difference with the 07 model a previous poster seems to have driven (assuming an 07 Ody was compared to the 07 Sienna purchased). I would test drive a couple if you haven't already and take it from there.

I just purchased a 2009 Odyssey EX. I was very close to getting a Sienna LE when I took a close look at interior seating space. The Odyssey definitely has more leg room in the 2nd and third row for passengers. Also a bit more head room in the third row seat. Since I have three full sized teenagers, this was the deciding factor. The rear cargo area also seems to be slightly bigger. If you look at the Toyota comparison tool which lists the passenger dimensions, you would not think there is much of a difference, but from a practical viewpoint, there really is. I would say that if you are going to used the third row seats for full sized passengers on longer trips, the Odyssey definitely is more comfortable.

Replying to: westk1 (May 05, 2009 6:33 am) Maybe the Ody is a taller cabin? Seemed to me that the Ody was more like a conventional minivan while the Sienna was kind of like a crossover. Our Ody got prettty noisey from weak door seals and a lack of sound insulation. I was definitely not impressed by the workmanship of the Alabama factory that made it. However, mechanically its been good. Replies to this message: thegraduate (May 06, 2009 8:43 am) berri (May 06, 2009 11:17 am) thegraduate (May 06, 2009 7:08 pm)

Replying to: berri (May 05, 2009 4:38 pm) I don't see one being more "crossover" than the other. The Odyssey does definitely drive more like a car than a van/truck though. Replies to this message: berri (May 06, 2009 11:17 am) thegraduate (May 06, 2009 7:08 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (May 06, 2009 8:43 am) I meant that more form the perspective of driving position,etc. For example, the Ody seat seemed to have more up and down travel so it may be taller inside from floor to roof? Replies to this message: thegraduate (May 06, 2009 7:08 pm)

Replying to: berri (May 06, 2009 11:17 am) Ah... the only thing I've noticed is that the Odyssey has a more carlike feel when navigating around town. Sorry I misunderstood the "crossover" part!
