better engine/ transmission. The Toyota has a timing chain and the Oddysey has a timing belt that needs to be changed at 105,000 miles.

I do, but I just can’t figure out what you’re talking about. Are you talking about the top of the dashboard?

But it can't sleep a family under the windshield. That's a major feature to consider.
