    I'm a dad too. I think it's worth mentioning WHY the second row seats are not removable in the Toyota. It's because they have built-in airbags. In fact the Sienna has 10 airbags in total. So, for the safety conscious, this is a big plus. My personal feeling is that if I'm going to buy a new car, and take the absurd financial depreciation hit, it's in large part because I would have access to the latest safety features including lots of airbags. But absolutely, if you need to transport gear or cargo that is 80 inches long, the Sienna isn't for you.

The versatility of a van is phenomenal because it hauls with unmatched comfort and cargo, but also can be a utility vehicle when you need it. Toyota basically chopped the new one in half by not designing removable second row seats.

    @@luperon There are videos on youtube instructing you how to do this. Two different socket wrenches, pulling off plastic parts, and most fun of all, disconnecting airbags. This is on the verge of factory service and if the dealer discovers you've been playing with the airbags, I'll bet they will discontinue some or all of the warranty. And to put them back, do it all in reverse. I take my seats out all the time whether to put a sheet of plywood in, put in a couple of mountain bikes on the way to the trails with a buddy, or haul stuff for the PTO for the three different schools my kids are in. Non removable seats is an absolute deal breaker for me.

    Most people can't tell the difference between 0-60 in 8.4 seconds vs. 7.8, but I bet they can tell the difference between 22mpg vs. 44mpg (Edmunds number) at the pump and their wallet. Point is, too much is made about Toyota's lack of HP compared to the Odessey and Pacifica as a father of 4 children, I don't cared much about 0-60 in a minivan, I save that for my M5, but I am in the market for one to haul my family around without having to visit the petrol station a lot.

Had to remember to slow down multiple times. More cup holders for the front, the better. I'll have a bottle water, soda, coffee. And that's just for me. There's 4 cup holders on top of the center console, and 2 on the back bottom for the middle row passengers so they're not left out. 1 on each sliding door also. I'm like, hells yes! And there's that bonus shelf on the dash for my phone and other small stuff (snacks mainly). Hells yes again! Now, the open space under the console, another hells yes! Ppl were like, why? What for? Uhmmmmm, purses! Big purses! Bags, hats, umbrellas, laptops, books, magazines, picnic mat, diaper bag. You can store anything! Where else would you store these things? By your feet? Under your seat? In the trunk? On the floor of the second row? So convenient and practical. The middle seats can slide all the way back, so much leg room! But I call it, walking space. Yes I can climb up and get in front of my children to buckle and remove them. Granted I am on the petite side. My kids are 6, 3, and 1. These were the main reasons why I chose the sienna over the other minivans. The folding of the 3rd row seats in all the minivans are similar and not too important. The folded down 3rd row cargo space is not much of a huge difference either. Best part is the mpg! I drove 2 hrs home from the toyota lot, and have driven around town maybe 4 times. It's still on full. It hasn't moved a millimeter. It would be on half tank by now in my old odyssey (tranny went out). Con: the 3rd row seats when folded down without any cargo weight on top, makes noise as it springs/hops/thump on every bump. So it's not good to leave them folded down if you're not needing to use maximum cargo space. I just wanted to leave them down in case I wanted to load anything quick, and save 5 seconds of folding the seats down :D plus I won't be using the 3rd row on the daily as the middle row fits my 3 kids. But i guess I'll have to leave them up now even when they're not in use. . Still, Sienna ftw! :D

    This is the best review by kids by far. I went from 2011 Odyssey to 2017 Pathfinder for AWD and all my kids can say is there's no TV or screen. So i gave them both Ipads and now they never ask me for anything else. If you need AWD Sienna is the only Choice or the Pacifica. Honda please offer SHAWD for Odyssey. I'm definitely getting another Odyssey if you do that.

    Supercharged Riviera does the 0-60 thing for me. BUT some people prefer the "floaty" drive. It's, like you said, personal preference. None removable second row seat is a design for increasing safety. Why would I want to remove them anyway? It's a van, to haul family, not material cargo. For that, a Tacoma, Tundra, F-150 would be more ideal imo. Fuel economy is definitely more of a game changer for most. That's amazing! And AWD! Overall, good review. Thank you for your time!

His 2006 Odyssey developed engine issue at only 186K miles in 2016. He then bought another Odyssey against my recommendation for a 2017 Toyota Sienna. His 2017 Honda Odyssey developed engine issue at only 120K miles in 2023 while my Toyota Sienna experience zero issue with Engine, transmission, fuel pump, electric windows, super cold AC, upholstery. They are original and in great condition after 18 years and 325K miles later. We recently got the 4th Generation Toyota Sienna and love it.

    If the ride is anything like Honda Accord and Toyota Camry (it should be similar dynamics), it will be a matter of personal preference. I have both. I love the accord for its handling and sportiness, I love the camry for its soft compliance where I don't have to feel every bump on the road. I feel the Sienna and Odyssey will have similar dynamics. That being said, I drove 16 hours in a Odyssey (2016) with eight people, including all their luggage and one stroller,I was very impressed with the handling. Drove on the straight road hitting close to 90 (this was for short stretch in middle of nowhere on flat road), the ride felt so smooth, I felt like i was going 60mph. Once we hit the mountains, the odyssey took the curves like it was nothing, did not roll on the windy roads or felt like it was too much weight in the car. That is very impressive. That being said, Toyota hybrid powertrain is very reliable, with few moving part, the services are very cheap and less things to break as there are less moving parts. I drove the new sienna for 5 minutes, it felt good too but I don't know how it will do on the highway or mountains for longer trip yet.

    AWD is good, and interestingly with the Hybrid drivetrain now it's hardly that much of an additional expense, but to be fair a decent set of snow tires trumps AWD any day. I've got an Outback on all seasons, and a Honda Fit that I throw snow tires on each winter and short of massive deep snow or ice (where no one wins) the Fit does very well. Now snow tires WITH an AWD car would be the dream. That being said I am in the market, and looking at the Sienna over the Odyssey for several reason, just trying to play reasonable on the AWD stuff. When it comes down to it, AWD helps you go, but it doesn't help you stop. Snow tires do both.

This review was biased based on a single person's preference. I totally admit I'm a toyota guy with honda a close second. There wasn't any mention of cost savings for the hybrid like mileage, and regenerative brakes that dont need to be replaced until 120k miles, no alternator...ect. Maintenance cost are far lower than conventional gas models, although the throttle loses some response, but let's face it...if your getting a minivan you're not drag racing.

    Hi! This is a comment I posted for the 2021 KIA Carnival vs The Odyssey with the Sienna on the background. Sorry to burst bubbles here, but while a new design with luxury features are enticing for the new KIA Carney, we really still have to wait for at least a year to see how dependable & how it lives up to it's hype. As a starter, no AWD option is not good at all. If I will buy a minivan today, it will still be The Odyssey. May not have all the bells & whistles, but it'll run forever. With this new Carney design, etc...scream of demand for new looks & features for Odyssey to be back in the mainstream next year. IF Carney performs well this trial year, it could take a lot of revenue away from Honda and gain new clientle unless a redesign & upgrades happens to it next year. I believe a win-win situation for The Odyssey next year will be: ●1. Have model trims that matches the features of Carney at a striking competetive price (which is like a special attractive bargain price for a Honda). ●2. Have model trims that are above & unique that will blast away the top Carney trim. ■The #1 will result to: if I can get a Honda almost the same price with Carney, of course I'll be so happy to get the Honda. ■The #2 will result to: These are for clients who can well afford the top of the line models ~ with all the uppermost upgrade & unique features, it will be like: "KIA what?" Also with that scenario, Sienna may also feel the collateral damage. The Odyssey did not become the No.1 minivan for flash in the pan, overnight reasons. They worked real hard in improving which resulted to very dependable mv's and happy owners. All they need to do now is upgrading with both the strategy of matching the competition for the average buyers AND the other status of being on it's own league via unique & hard to duplicate features & luxuries for the high end buyers. Thank you ---!●

I drove my 2021 Honda Odyssey from New York City to Miami twice already. This gave me the opportunity to drive until the gas was fully empty. I made sure to drive until the needle was dangerously low. And still never able to pump more than 16.9 gallons. Any thoughts on this? It's such a deal breaker and this was not my experience with my 2011 Honda Odyssey LX. I will be very appreciative for any response regarding this matter. Subscribed!

    the sienna does something similar. its an 18 gallon tank. the car will only let you run down to 15 gallons before it shows "empty". this is both a safety feature to make sure you don't run out, but also to make sure that the high pressure direct inject fuel system can get enough supply and not have air in it, as this can cause misfires and cause the van to not start again.

    The "Crummy" CVT isn't one of those belt units. It's a Toyota design with a planetary gearset. Furthermore, yes, it makes engine noise and 4cyl noise at that, but the only reason it's noticeable is because when the van isn't using the 4cyl to accelerate, the drivetrain is whisper quiet.

Was not impressed at all and could not justify it for the expensive price tag. The deal breaker was the excessively loud wind noise coming from the windshield/front sides. Added to that was the strange and loud vibration of acceleration. Sienna is off my radar - going to test drive the Odyssey.

    We have Odyessy and while its been a very good van it has a engineering flaw where it uses Electricity to auto shift the car. Which means when your alternator goes bad (And they all do) even with a Jump to get you going your car will shift hard almost like putting it in neutral and slam-bang it into gear. Not good for the car. Transmissions use to be made where they ran fine even without a battery or alternator. if your battery gets low in the cold or the alternator goes out even a jump start will not get you out of the woods due the transmission issue.

    Great video. I have an 09 Odyssey still going strong and was considering the Sienna. The fact that Toyota's rust a lot and they have a non-removable second row will turn a lot of people off right off the bat, despite the better gas mileage. The Odyssey is a family weekend warrior or a workhorse. You can put a piece of plywood inside of it flat, or use it as a contractor vehicle! Don't be fooled by vacuums and fridges. Rest stops are not too far away to empty your garbage and grab a cold drink. There's been tons of problems with the cabin watch if you Google it and also Honda's 10 speed is known to lock up into park on the highway!! Hopefully the software or something has fixed this now. If they sold mine '09 as a brand new model I would buy it again. The top blowing vents are the best in the older odysseys. The side vents don't cut, if you have a child in the back seat it will not get cooled facing backward. No way going Chrysler! Lol. Japanese vehicles just do it better!!

    Just cause the Odyssey interior is outdated doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The interior still look just as nice as it did when it came out in 2018. Even the generation before this was nice too. Some people just like Honda's take on interior better then anything else. Just like me only wanting to buy Sony TVs cause I like how they do everything down to the buttons. Power is as important as fuel economy to me. Power is what gets you going or could even help you out of a tough situation on the roads. Being able to merge in a timely manner is important. If you take the price difference into account then they would be your gas money difference over the years. Of course the Sienna will be better if you are going to keep it for several years and beyond. Styling is subjective so each its own. I do like how the Sienna looks on the outside and especially the back is a lot nicer then the Odyssey. Each vehicle has their own features that people will need to evaluate to see if they need it or not. I like the magic seats on the Odyssey. Plus it has 8 seats on the top Elite trim while the Sienna only offer that on their lower trims only. RES might be important to some families as well which I don't think the Sienna offers. I didn't see it in this video and it was the top of the line Platinum model. Having AWD is nice though but I don't think it's a true system though. It's better then nothing though when you think about it. Hands free opening is really nice though and I use it more then I thought I would (I have a 19 Pilot Touring AWD 8). Saying that I do wish gas was better on my Pilot but I do like the power though. It's a trade off and I know it. I thought about getting a hybrid in the past but to me I love power more then the saving at the gas pump. To each their own.
