Looking at buying one for the fam. I prefer Toyota but Siennas are hard to come by at the moment.

The Odyssey leather struck me as kind of cheap looking but I think that's all Honda leather.

I'm a Toyota man but I can't wait 6-8 months for a vehicle to come in and I prefer not paying $65K for a minivan.

Research is telling me they have transmission problems around 100K but that seems to correlate to certain years.

Anybody have any feedback with the newer models?

Need a good Dad Board because everyone on this board seems to be my age, late-30s raising kids.

Had a 2008 Odyssey and put 200k on it, now have a 2018 odyssey at about 120k. Hardly any issues at all, and zero transmission issues. Both were leather, both held up well.

Also have a Tacoma, and like Toyota - I just think the Sienna is a less attractive van.

that's what I was planning to get. My understanding is they are super functional though and I'm willing to set aside my historical hate for minivans.

I want a Suburban or Yukon but I really don't believe in paying over $50k for a vehicle. It's a personal rule.

I’ve had three. First two went well over 200k miles without major issues. Drives well. Great use of space. Would recommend.

It’s basically a Honda Ridgeline that will haul more stuff, and doesn’t portray insecurity.

I have a 19 and the battery dies on the regular. Too small for the amount shite that’s in the car. Other than that we love it. Lot of features for the money.

Bought one for the family. Lasted 20+ yrs $350K+, minor engine maintenance and replaced cat converter twice. Other than that, the best vehicle ever owned. Zero major issues.

Got a 2016 with about 150K. I was against it when we got it, but it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. Has been a great family vehicle.

My cousin had one when he was a kid, that was a bad arse go cart. I drove it once, that's probably the muddiest I have ever gotten in my life.

Not speaking about the Odyssey specifically, but minivans are awesome if you have young kids.

My old lady has an 04... I can't wait to throw a match to the sob...

Last visit to the shop cost more than the whole car was worth..

If it has automatic sliding doors... huge mistake. You'll lose a finger if the door even works at all...

Run sir... Run..
