If you have driven both then you do understand why peeps are rooting for the Sienna

Siena:
You say this, just because their choice differs from yours? Taste is subjective, there is no right or wrong.
Deal with it.

phillip001: Plz house, is odyssey a bad choice?I can't affort sienna for now and I want to buy odyssey,I need to know the common problem with odyssey, how good is the electrical and engine?

oweniwe:
the odyssey is more loaded than the sienna.....
Naija peeps avoid d odyssey coz of its 1999-2003 years transmission issues.
Also, the car doesnt tolerate much engine abuse unlike d sienna u can drive about with CEL on.

oweniwe:
A well maintaned odyssey will dust the sienna (assuming they're same trim).

oweniwe:
The sienna's rear suspension noise, bland+boring interior and fragile plastics are most annoying.

oweniwe:
I will never forget the day i wanted to open the passenger door dad's 02 sienna and the door's handle just scattered in my hand. I was so shocked
I nor go lie, sienna's engine and gear are rugged sha.
avoid the 1999-03 year..... 2005 ^

I disagree with some of the points above. The interior of the Odyssey might be just a little better in term of the quality of dashboard. However, the exterior of the Sienna is a lot better than the Odyssey. Transmission failure is a major problem that requires an expensive fix. So nobody wants it irrespective of your financial status. Tolerance to abuse is a sure sign of reliability and efficiency.


How did you arrive at this?


You need to be specific. Which model of the Sienna has a rear noisy suspension? This is misinformation. Perhaps, the one you drove lacks proper car and maintenance. Hence, your faulty generalization...! Get your facts right.


Apparently, this is an obvious sign of lack of care and maintenance. A poorly maintained car door handles would fall apart irrespective of brand and model. Just for your information, while the Sienna and the Odyssey share the same sliding door platforms, the Sienna is a lot more rugged, reliable and easy to fix than the Odyssey. The cost is a function of who does the work for you.

oweniwe:
ehn Look-at-ew.......
U didn't see wia i said 02 sienna?
Don't u know that certain defect are perculiar to certain cars/model years alone that no matter how much you maintain the car, the defect will come out.....
D door handle palava and rear suspension issues.... If u deny its a sienna problem, den you havent used sienna frequently...
So cos my sienna has suspension issue means its poorly maintained? There are brand new cars whose transmission failed or engine packed up after 30,000 miles.... Those ones are poorly maintained abi? All the toyota engines with stripped head bolt and sludge issues, they're poorly maintained too? 05 Nissan pathfinder's radiator defect that could result in coolant finding its way into the engine is due to poor maintenance?? Do you know what factory defect is?
Abeg, i dont have your time.

bravolad:


Application of force to any car door handle would certainly break it, so it's not peculiar to that model of Sienna. More so, some of these things wear out with age and time.

The Honda Odessy is a very sweet car to drive, finer on the inside but the Sienna is finer on the outside unless you are driving the Sienna XLE variant which comes with full options and leather trimmed interior.

All the same, Honda cars are more drive comfortable while the Toyota cars are more durable.

For records , cars of this shape have gear box issues. I own a Sienna and will never buy any car of this shape again unless I will get a free maintenance warranty from wherever.

These cars are very costly to maintain..

nurey:
the first generation toyota sienna is very rugged and most reliable and abuse taking van in the world , the major issue the car has are the door handles including tank handle, boot handles. you need to be extremely careful for those handles to last it is a factory defect. and whats with opening the boot only from outside not from the inside thats bullshit

for the second generation, the odyssey is finer and more beautiful both on the inside and outside but guess what, the nissan quest is even more common than it. As for the 3rd generation, them swear for me, na sienna all the way TOYOTA just know how to make reliable cars and look every where 7 out of 10 cars are toyotas. but what annoys me about TOYOTA is that it is over rated if you ask to buy a car the first suggestion is toyota kilode na give other manufacturers a break
