#4878 of 5205 Re: Chose the Odyssey over the Sienna [backwoods] by toyojunk May 29, 2009 (6:06 pm)
Replying to: backwoods (May 27, 2009 5:55 pm) You are not alone. Tires and other items wear out much more quickly on the Sienna than the Odyssey or Chrysler minivans. Cross winds affect the Sienna much more than with either Odyssey or Chrysler minivans. Routine maintenance is also more expensive than with Chrysler minivans. Front door stop welds are defective in 2006 and 2007 Siennas. Earlier Siennas had engine sludge problems.   Buy the Odyssey.

Replying to: toyojunk (May 29, 2009 6:06 pm) Here we go again with the generalizations.....you cannot say that these items wear out more quickly on the Sienna because they don't on ALL Siennas. To be honest, the tires and brakes on my '03 VDub Passat wore out within the first two years that I owned the vehicle, which truly disgusted me, and the tires were Michelins, which I thought were pretty good tires. Shows what I knew! Now about the door welds: as I understand, there is a TSB on this defect. So, if your vehicle has this problem, can it not be repaired? And, again, does it affect ALL Siennas? Yes, earlier Siennas had engine sludge problems, but not ALL Siennas. You are making it seem as if every Sienna that leaves the factory has those problems. If yours has those problems and you can't get Toyota to fix them, for Heaven's sake, please trade it! I am so tired of reading your complaints about a perfectly good vehicle. You know what? My Sienna's brakes have developed some worrisome squeaking. Yeah, the vehicle is only 2 years old and has only 20k miles on it, and I'm the only driver. Yes, I know that they need to be checked, which they will be when I get the oil changed. Do I think this is inherent to this vehicle? I don't know. When you decide to purchase a vehicle, look everything over carefully, check prices carefully, test-drive carefully, and MAKE YOUR CHOICE CAREFULLY. If you then choose the wrong vehicle, it is time to eat that decision and move on! Stop complaining so much and enjoy your vehicle. If you can't, please buy your OdyT&CRoutanWhateverTheHeckPleasesYouBetter!

Replying to: toyojunk (May 29, 2009 6:06 pm) Stop posting ignorant posts about the Sienna. Unless you owned all 3 how can you make these statements. We have owned a Chrysler van is it was effected way more by crosswinds than either our 04 & 07 Sienna's. LOL Stock tires wear out on just about every car pretty quick including the Odyssey. As I said before in other post my neighbor has an 06(or 07 I forget) Odyssey and they had to replace there tires with under 30,000 miles on them. We just replaced our brakes and got a respectable 40,000 miles out of them, can't complain we do a lot of city driving and drive in hilly areas, plus we think the previous owners towed with it.   Actually 07 Sienna's aren't affected by the door weld problem, only 04-06 Sienna's and they replace it free of charge. Our 04 didn't have the problem and our 04 had 90,000 miles.   Sludge affected only a handful of 1st generation Sienna's.   I agree with siennami please just trade your Sienna in, if you really own one, so you can stop annoying everyone.

Replying to: hause7 (May 30, 2009 1:48 am) The sludge issue affected engines THREE GENERATIONS ago.   The current 3.5l 2GR engines series has been excellent.   The prior 3.3l V6 engines were also very reliable.   Sure, if you go back 3 generations, to the long-ago phased out 3.0l V6, you will find cases of sludge.   Funny thing is he probably knew that when you purchased his 2006 Sienna, so he didn't care then. Actions speak louder than words.

Replying to: hause7 (May 30, 2009 1:48 am) According to the Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A, Inc Mailing titled:         "2004 THROUGH 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA DOOR CHECK MOUNTING PANEL WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT".   Why didn't all 2004 thru 2007 Toyota Sienna Owners receive their copy - or, do some who claim to own a Sienna NOT actually own a Sienna?

Replying to: toyojunk (Jun 17, 2009 5:40 pm) I don't know why I'm responding to this, since you are very determined to find something wrong with your Sienna, but here goes. I have an '07 Sienna; I have no reason to lie, neither does Hause or Juice, but I digress. As I understand it, the reason why SOME owners haven't received that notice is because the weld problem affects those vehicles with certain VIN numbers. My vehicle doesn't match that number. Now, if you've received that number, GO GET YOUR VEHICLE FIXED.....and stop complaining! Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 18, 2009 11:03 am)

I completely Agree with Siennami. Go get your Sienna fixed and stop complaining. Oh and I do own a Sienna, had an 04 as well. I have pics of our 07 on Siennachat.com go check them out. I have no reason to lie about owning a minivan lol.

Replying to: siennami (Jun 17, 2009 6:10 pm) My 07 is also unaffected.   I wish it was, though. Free warranty. Think about it.   And it's not like other vans haven't had sliding door problems, including early Odys.   Someone just asked volvomax the trade-in value of an 07 Ody in the RWTIV thread so this should be interesting. What triggered hansienna's rampage against the van he chose to buy and previously regarded well was the low-ball offer to trade his van at his dealer.   You buy at retail, you trade/sell at wholesale, and EVERY seller will be disappointed with the offer.
#4886 of 5205 Help me decide between 2008 Sienna LE and 2006 Odyssey EX-L by kcdude1 Jun 24, 2009 (8:34 am)
I need help making decision between 2008 Sienna LE(Salsa Red) vs 2006 Honda Odyssey(Silver) EX-L. My neighbor is willing to sell me his Honda Odyssey at a good trade in price of $14000 which has 62500 miles on it . It has all the standard features of EX-L with sunroof but does not have GPS or DVD player which is not a big deal for me. It has new tires which were installed few months back. The other car I am comparing to is from a small time dealer who is willing to sell me the 2008 Sienna LE with 38,200 miles on it for $16500. So basically for $2500 more I will get a 2 year newer model with 25,000 miles difference minus the bells & whistles like no leather seat, sun roof and single power door on Sienna LE vs dual power door on Odyssey. Consumer reports shows problems with transmission for 05 & 06 models for the odyssey. The Sienna LE was a rental vehicle which was bought at an auction by the dealer. So that concerns me a bit as compared to buying my neighbors Odyssey. Please help me make a better decision for buying the used van.

Replying to: kcdude1 (Jun 24, 2009 8:34 am) A rental is a rental. Noone who used it cared about that van.   You know the history of your neighbor's car, in this case, so I think that's your better bet.   See if you can still buy an extended warranty to cover the Ody. They would be under a grand if it were new, the catch is you're over the 60k mile powertrain warranty so you may not get the same good pricing on the warranty.   I the Sienna were a one-owner used car I'd lean towards the newer van that's still under the powertrain warranty, but I believe the fact that it was used commercially as a rental voids that warranty anyway.   I would pass on the rental and buy your neighbor's Ody.
