| Toyota sienna is better in reliability AND practicality. Those Honda odysseys were (and still are) notorious for transmission problems the sienna has no issues. I have an '06 sienna XLE and it can haul 4x8 sheets of plywood or sheetrock with the 3rd row folded flat, and the 2nd row seats removed. A lot of folks LIVE in their 2nd gen ('04-'10) siennas full time and have made them into conversion vans, you can even get custom made rooftop pop up campers added onto the 2nd gens. The world is your oyster with siennas. They're SO customizable. Please, come join ... | |||||

| If in the United States, Assuming they both checkout, I’d go with the sienna. If it was the international version of the odyssey, I’d go with the odyssey. | |||||

| Some years of the Honda odyssey should be avoided because of chronic (and expensive) transmission problems. I had a sienna for 200 k miles with absolutely nothing except fluid changes, plugs and brake pads - and one timing belt just in case. | |||||

| I purchased a 2018 odyssey new. I too was torn between an odyssey and sienna. The Toyota was a more stripped down vehicle when compared to the Honda but was considerably higher priced. 50k on it now and the only issue was a defective fuel injector. Dealership replaced all of them under warranty. Just received a letter today from Honda stating they are extending the warranty for fuel injectors for 10 years/150k miles. As for the transmission no issues unless you’re in eco mode. Seems to shift a little ruff on certain gears but does not do this in any other mo ... | |||||

| The odyssey would definitely be better than anything from Chrysler or Dodge. Honda doesn't make the odyssey transmission anymore it is now supplied by ZF. The sienna is still the benchmark however. | |||||
| Answer to: Buying a previous generation Sienna vs new hybrid? | 31Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| With the amount of mileage you drive, I am 50/50 on hybrid or not. If you drove significantly less, I would say to just get the gas sienna. With that said, This is how I would go about the decision, when it comes time. I would research the current generation and previous generation Camry hybrid, and see how long the powertrain, specifically the hybrid battery goes before needing a replacement. The Camry hybrid powertrain uses the same technology as the sienna. I would also do the math on the naturally aspirated sienna versus hybrid sienna, with respect ... | |||||
| Repair Camshaft or Trade-In? | 30Relevance | 4 years ago | JustADad | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... were in need of an oil-pump housing repair) or trade it in for $7,500 (per KBB) and get a new car. In my mind, the cons of trading it in is spending 25k vs 9k...and that's for a 5 year old sienna close to 100k miles. But the cons of just repairing the odyssey is that apparently it's going to continue to give us troubles, and it has 146k miles on it. So my question is: Will repairing the camshaft/rebuilding the engine keep us out of the car shop for the next 5+ years? Or should we just go ahead and replace the odyssey with a newer sienna? | |||||

| @Adamupton Both are doing well, but odyssey has major quality issues. Just looked at a new odyssey with the cargo trunk FILLED with water due to poor seals and overall build quality. sienna is the better choice, their 8-speed is doing fine. | |||||

| ... activation (Honda calls it VCM) - which will wear out/damage the engine in the long run (you can disable via software but if you need warranty work if will void it, and also the hardware is still there). Also, depending on the year the odyssey comes with 9 or 10 speed AT, and long term reliability is not fully known. Meanwhile, an older sienna (Kerem lists the years to look at) has none of those issues and fewer gears in their AT so less complexity and presumably less issues. If you care about longevity, your best bet is the sienna. There’s no guarantees ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I get rid of my rusty 20-year-old Sienna? | 28Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 1. If structural parts of the unibody are rusting out on the sienna it is time to get rid of it. However, the odyssey has a history of weak transmissions according to Scotty. This is verified by sites that track car problems, such as: Another sienna would be a better choice. Whatever you buy be sure to have a good mechanic give it a thorough examination before purchase. 2. For future reference, when posting please use the title line for a short description of your car problem, not the full details which belong in the body of your post. Thank you. (Titl ... | |||||

| I would also agree with Kerem's statement. The Toyota sienna Hybrid is a new vehicle with a different powertrain. The Honda odysseys have the 10 speed transmission. So we don't know if it's better than the Honda odyssey's 5 and 6 speed transmission. My dad had a 2007 Honda odyssey and it has transmission problems. I'm assuming you're talking about the Ford Transit Connect and Mercedes Metris not the Sprinter or Transit. Stay away for those vehicles. My pick in the same class would be: 1. 2020 and older siennas 2. Honda odysseys 3. Toyota sienna Hybrid 4. ... | |||||

| Now for 6-8 years, the Hybrid sienna, V6 odyssey, and regular sienna should be fine if not some minor transmission issues on the odyssey the Sprinter would take a lot of money to repair (refer to @mountainmanjoe) and the Transit is meh in my opinion and OK/subpar in Scotty's opinion. | |||||

| odyssey is definitely improved over older models and 2014 is a good model year as they resolved tranny issues from before. Just make sure you take care of the engine yb changing the oil every 5000 miles and changing the tranny fluid every 30k miles. sienna is a good van too and a lot of people do prefer the sienna for its reliability and AWD but both vans are not bulletproof. Both vans are complex and as they get higher mileage like 200-300k miles expect electrical problems and I would not buy the new sienna hybrid since that is insanely complex with all tha ... | |||||

| Hey Scotty, which Mini Van would you recommend for reliability and quality? The 2021 Toyota sienna or the 2021 Honda odyssey. I think all new Toyota sienna are Hybrids right so that is interesting, not sure what you might suggest? Thank you, Kirby | |||||

| If the sienna actually has the 6 speed automatic, have a mechanical inspection done and if it passes buy it! If the sienna has the 8 speed automatic, have a mechanic check it out, and it would still be better than the odyssey, just not as good as the 6 speed. Here in the states 2017 had the 8 speed automatic. | |||||
