Spoke to our mechanic about pacificas and siennas. He said that he gets older pacificas in for all sorts of

Issues. He says it’s one of the most common vehicles for his shop to service. On the other hand, he says that the only time he ever gets a sienna is for an oil change. He strongly recommended the sienna over the Pacifica. This swayed us in our decision this past summer to get a sienna over a pacifica.

No, The engine goes under the hood Not the windshield

Ah that’s right. The windshield bone’s connected to the HOOD bone which is connected to the engine bone. I forgot.

You must have an odyssey, it’s all good... to each their own

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

We were looking at one back in 2014 and there was a ton of space

The odyssey has the most car like ride and handling of any minivan

That's My observation also: Odyssey drivers more like a car, Toyota feels

Sienna rated much better than Odyssey for reliability

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

Consumer reports shows sienna to be way better across the board

I've had both. The Sienna has been more reliable.

Bought a 2018 Odyssey a couple months ago. No regrets so far.

We have had two Odysseys, both 2005s. They are heavy and hard to brake, so we go

One thing I've learned joining the Toyota Community is that the reason non-dealer mechanics don't see many Toyotas

I've spent time in a new Sienna and new Pacifica.

Toyotas are way, way more reliable than Hondas nowadays. Google it if you don’t

We've had the Sienna for about 3.5 years.
