Personal use and cost of acquiring honda Odyssey is okay but for the love of your sanity, don't buy the EX-L and touring trim with the VCM engines just buy LX or EX.

Commercial use and ruggedity sienna is better though more expensive in price than odyssey
pls sir, What about 2014 Hond Civic EX-L?

The long and short of whatever I might need to say is this, go for Toyota Sienna. It is safer and easy to dispose of if it is well managed.

Good evening house.
Pls I am asking for a friend who is contemplating getting either a honda odyssey or a sienna.
Apart from d difference in prices, what about cost of maintenance, fuel consumption and durability?
Thanks car enthusiast as I await ur response.
I'd prefer you go for a Toyota Sienna... That's one of the vehicles that I own.
Whether brand new or pre-owned... Toyota anytime. wink

If you no want problem no try odyssey..
Re: 2005 Odyssey & 2005 Sienna: Which Is Better? by Carparts888(m): 10:56am On May 04, 2022
I think some models of 2005 honda odyssey use VCM technology (some cylinders will be shut off when you are not using its full power or accelerating fast) but according to reviews, it tends to be problematic at times leading to limp mode, engine stalls, soaked plugs. So its better to avoid vcm Hondas except from 2013 and above. The auto transmission for 2005 Odyssey improved a bit.
Honda Odyssey is a much more refined ride and its fun to drive.

2005 Toyota sienna is bland but it has an amazing reliability.
If u want reliability or rest of mind, go for sienna. For the fact its even a transporters first choice for daily long distance travel will tell you how rugged and reliable it can be with good maintenance. I doubt Honda Odyssey can go through such torture for a long while.

Odyssey all the way. Don't be deceived by comments Naija mindset. Any model of Honda is far better

If you’re a business person what will you use Sienna or odyssey for?

Buy Sienna and have peace of mind

I laugh at this comment. Honda will always give you peace of mind above Toyota cars.

Honda interior and exterior is better than Toyota.
Honda is more durable than Toyota.
Honda engines can withstand pressure than Toyota.
Honda parts are cheaper than Toyota.
Etc.

The only advantage Toyota has over Honda is resale value in Nigeria cos of demand.

Toyota sienna any day, Honda has better interior & putin standard AC but Toyota sienna has better legs, maintenance is relatively cheap, second hand value too

Toyota Sienna has no legs compared to odessy.

Start by posting the correct pictures! 05 Sienna is better more reliable than the 05 Odyssey, the Odyssey is plagued with transmission and electrical problems, have you wondered why it is never used as a commercial vehicle?

The Gear is damn right unreliable. Engine Underpowered, me thinks its the damn gearbox that is rigged to conserve fuel by running to the highest gear.

The only problem you may encounter with the 05 Sienna is over heating, the OEM radiator can have issues , other than that its very reliable .

If you re buying used check the gear box, not a problem item , but most owners use the wrong ATF.

Do you know how a VCM mechanism works for performance?

The Sienna does NOT compare to a Touring Odyssey by any stretch.



Google search honda J series engine with VCM and the issues associated with some mlm models with such engine.

Does a owner of a car think performance 1st or reliability

Option B, take sienna
But if you have any smaller car or other means of transportation powerbike/suv then Go for HONDA, its a Mid class-full luxury unlike sienna that's very DRY. But when it comes to 2nd valuing then the over hyped toyota will save ur as. I have used 2 toyota product I gained small in resale... but BMW/BENZ still the best... sold my 1st BMW to yahoo boy the guy use am reck.. 2 yrs started seeing the car faulty all around ringroad grin. The one I am using now still dope n strictly maintained i hope next buyer won't disappoint me.. all those EDD boys don hear weeehenn! Fr dem benz n lexus[especially sensors] . German car are SATISFACTORY PRODUCTS.


What of 2005 honda odyssey ABSOLUTE?

That's also called honda shuttle in some markets, very okay to buy and reliable though the k series engine is not the popular one in EOD and DC (03 to 07 accords)

2005 Honda odyssey is better because it's IV-TEC 3.5 liter engine is more economical, smoother, faster ,has lesser carbon emissions and can run a very high mileage up 350000kms than the 2005 Toyota Sienna.
Mind you, the 2005 odyssey gear box is very strong and reliable compared to it's predecessor.
In terms of general comparison, styling and practicality, the Odyssey also wins it because it has more features and the interior space is well reserved.
You can check on YouTube to find out yourself.
Toyota sienna is also good but Honda odyssey is better and the odyssey becomes a better companion to the family.

. Even after 17 years? We're in 2022
