By the way dumping the stock tires on the Sienna improves handling tons, we have a set of Yokohama Avid's on ours and it's like night and day. |

The Sienna offers more usable power, better fuel economy, and a more family-oriented soft ride. I do disagree with him about the handling being as good in the Sienna, but hey, disagreements are allowed, right?  The Odyssey has better seating options, more carlike handling, and in my opinion, better styling inside and out. We know you dislike your Sienna, but putting words in other people's mouths is going a little far, hans. Neither is the "Best" or the "Worst." Both are excellent options, which appeal to different people.

Replying to: toyojunk (May 25, 2009 6:58 pm) For all the hype about Ody handling you would think Honda would at least include a dead pedal. Seriously, how can you even talk about handling when there is no real deal pedal for your left foot? A deal-killer omission, IMHO, even if I had been shopping for handling vs. ride comfort. Unless Honda has fixed that since I last test drove one?

Replying to: berri (May 26, 2009 5:38 pm) There are many positive attributes in the Sienna but the problems tend to obscure this fact. AND, someone commented on lack of a foot rest!!!!!!!!!!!! Reading the various forums, would indicate I am not alone with the these issues. Many with far more than I have stated. I sure hope the next van will fair much better. Odyssey is at the top of the list but I still want to check out the VW Routan which uses the Chrysler chassis. Nor have I ruled out the T/C. Had a Dodge Caravan which had over 120,000 and had less service bay time than the current Sienna. |

Replying to: backwoods (May 27, 2009 5:55 pm) Seriously?  My 07 has been trouble-free and that was me that mentioned the dead pedal, which is more than a foot rest BTW.
