Some of them didn't have enough room between seats for all three seats facing backwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281489 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:20:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 281489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oceanis723 - hahaha that's so funny, i can only imagine their reactions!</p> <p>@heatherloveskenny - ok thanks! i like the way the sienna looks more than the odyssey and i am partial to toyota's, especially after reading so many case studies in school about how amazing toyota is as a company (i still have full faith in them despite the hiccups they had a few years ago). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281441 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:45:08 +0000 HLK208 281441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: we didn't try to fold down the second row but the third row had the "stow-and-go" ability which was nice and roomy. Loved the cool box!! They thought of everything parents want and need. It drove nice but it didn't win me over like the Toyota did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281423 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:36:30 +0000 Mrs. Train 281423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We test drove every minivan out there. We went with the odessey. It had a little more room in my opinion. Since we would have three backwards facing cars eats it really made a difference. The trunk was a little bigger and fit our double and single stroller better. I'm sure the car people thought I was crazy when I approached with three car seats and two strollers but hey I needed the best fit. One guy laughed and showed us a 15 passenger van. Not funny to the giant pregnant lady with infant in tow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281419 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:34:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 281419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heatherloveskenny - yea the bells and whistle (from my research online) makes the odyssey seem so nice... like how the 2nd row seats can extend wider if needed and the coolbox! did the odyssey's second row seats have the option of "stow-and-go" or do you have to physically take the seats out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281402 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:26:17 +0000 HLK208 281402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just test drove the Odyssey and it had quite a few bells and whistles but it was also cheap, like the plastic on the dash and all over feel wasn't nice. Toyota seemed higher in quality and less noisy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281350 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:47:45 +0000 LAGS 281350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't own one yet but are deciding between these two. I want the Sienna because I like its features/look better but DH is stuck on the Odyssey because their newest model gets the best MPG. So if that's something that's important to you, that's one thing to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281334 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:35:46 +0000 Weagle 281334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never driven anything but a Honda made car, so I think I would go with the Odyssey. Those things are awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281329 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:31:58 +0000 Mrs.B 281329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in love with the sienna. I am not ashamed to admit it is my "dream van" lol. I currently have an older (2002) mini van but we are looking to trade up once LO arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281319 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:23:47 +0000 chopsuey 281319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've driven both.. I would go with the odyssey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281315 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:22:37 +0000 yin 281315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't driven either one, but I am a Honda fan. The cars are really built to last, and I have only heard great things about the Odyssey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281293 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:12:35 +0000 Smurfette 281293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and SIL love their Odyssey. I work with a couple people that have them too and they don't have any complaints. Honda's are great cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281291 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:11:13 +0000 regberadaisy 281291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother has the Odyssey and they and we love love love it!!! He had it a few years ago then had a "mid life crisis" and traded it for a audi then traded back for the Odyssey.<br /> It rides sooo smooth and it can seat so many. Different heating zones, etc.<br /> I'm secretly hoping he wants to trade it in soon so we can buy it off of him! hahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281271 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:59:32 +0000 mrsjyw 281271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my aunts have the sienna and love their vans :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281258 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:53:57 +0000 heffalump 281258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We test drove both and went with the Odyssey. Honestly I don't remember the Sienna.... but we've always been a Honda family and we love our van. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281024 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 00:26:19 +0000 autumnlove 281024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never driven a Sienna but I borrowed my MIL's Odyssey once and it drove like a dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281019 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:46:39 +0000 Arden 281019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Toyota Sienna, and I really like it. It's a good van. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281018 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:44:33 +0000 junebuglim 281018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up getting the Toyota Sienna primarily because none of the Honda dealers could beat the price that we got for the Sienna. Also there were many more Siennas than Odysseys in stock which made it easier to negotiate the price. They both rate pretty equally on safety standards but I wanted the Odyssey because we've had many Hondas so I felt brand loyalty at that time. We are very happy with our Sienna and no regrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honda-odyssey-or-toyota-sienna#post-281007 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:19:47 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 281007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are looking into minivans to accommodate our growing family... We test drove the sienna today and thought it was great, but haven't tested the odyssey yet.</p> <p>Anyone have experience with either of these two minivans and which do you prefer? Thanks!! </p>
