Hi all, we are looking to purchase a minivan soon, as we now have a newborn plus toddler. We have a Kia Optima currently but it’s too small for our needs. We are thinking of either a used Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey, with a budget of $20k, would appreciate any suggestions for which model years / how much mileage we should be looking for. We are located in Austin. #cars #van #buying #suggestions #honda #toyota #sienna #odyssey
Get a Corolla. It’s R@jesh approved
Ok Karen
I approve
I love my Sienna
I like interiors of Odyssey / Honda than that of Toyota. However, if you want AWD, thats only available in Sienna
For 20k budget you should get Odyssey. If you could increase your budget to 50k get the new Sienna.
Any particular model years I should consider for the Odyssey as well as miles for that price?
Your budget only allows you to get 4th generation(2011-2017). I would avoid first model year(2011). Typically third model year (2013) is the best. Later model years will have more cost cutting. Consider 2013,2014,2015.
Sienna has better transmission and less likely to fail.
Odyssey exl is great
Go for Toyota Sienna as it's seats lays flat, which is great in moving stuff when needed.
Toyota's have slightly better reliability numbers than Hondas in general and I have this from a verified source.
We love our sienna
Same thing
