I was an owner of a 2014 Honda Odyssey until last month when a guy, with a Ram 1500, rear-ended our van on the highway. The van has been totaled. It had 126,000 miles, and we never had any of the issues Scotty has mentioned. Besides the regular maintenance, for that many miles, I had to replace only one small part – the solenoid valve, an easy DIY.
However, I regularly changed the transmission fluid, drain and refill, every 15,000 miles, I changed the engine oil every 7,500, and the oil filter every 15,000 miles. My 15 years old son replaced the timing belt and I paid for parts and some tools about $380. I think I paid about $120 for the solenoid valve. So for 7 years and 126,000, I spent $700 more than an average Toyota owner. Not a bad deal, considering that the Honda Odyssey drives really well. It has more comfortable seats. It is more forgiving and faster on turns. It literally drives like a car. It has way more features than the Sienna, and more. Now let me give you an example for a 2013 Sienna.
I have a friend who has a 2013 Toyota Sienna, he uses it for Uber. Granted, the van has 289,000 miles. He never did any ATF drain and fill – still runs with the original ATF. He has small issues and granted, he did not do anything on the van within the mileage my Honda had to make things equal.
HOWEVER, his Sienna eats tires like crazy. He has never had a set of tires lasting him more than 40,000 miles (only one set reached that mileage ant it was originally warrantied for 90k. (That is what he told me). He did tire alignments every 12,000 miles, for which he paid $100+. He always rotated the tires timely. Now, please make the math and tell me what should I buy Sienna/Odyssey based on the two examples?
Now, let me tell you what I bought – neither one of them. I went to Honda to buy another Odyssey. They did not have any in stock. I went to Toyota and I did not even ask if they had a Sienna, I just bought a 2021 Tundra.
I am not loyal to any brands. I just wanted to share my personal experience. With my new 2021 Toyota Tundra, I had in total four Toyotas (two Toyota Priuses and a RAV4). I had two Hondas, the 2006 Civic and the 2014 Odyssey. I owned American cars too – 2007 Chevy Suburban, 2001 Lincoln Town Car. and 1994 Ford Taurus. I first started buying American cars because I love this country.
I think that it is sometimes a matter of a simple luck. My 2007 Suburban was bullet proof too, but all of my friends replaced transmissions, not us.
Scotty sees many cars. That is his job and all I am saying is that yes, Toyotas are generally more reliable but they have made very bad cars too and they still do. Every manufacturer does make good cars and crappy ones.
Have a 2005 odyssey with 249,000 miles and it still drives fantastic. Bought it with 100k and only put money into tune ups and brakes/tires
If Honda is so crummy why be upset that they're leaving? Screw them and the horse they rode in on.
Transmissions and engines will be a thing of the past when electric vehicles take over.
My 2002 odyssey has 250,000 miles, it’s solid as hell
Their vans suck
You missed the driver seat brackets. They break and then you have a rocking chair. The engine mounts go out in 40k miles. And don’t get me going on the fuel pump.
9:11 "She's lump, she's lump, she's lump, she's in my head"
All good gas/ diesel engines on there way out. Good thing im tired of working on the greasy nasty sheit.
Timing belt on interference engine is Waaayyyy beyond Dumb, should be illegal in my opinion.
My 2005 odyssey was amazing never had transmission issues was the AWD touring models mine was FWD bought it with 200,000 miles on it drove for 5 years no maintenance issues changed fluids and battery tires brakes that’s it did trust out smoke or leak nothing I will buy an odyssey anyway
I would never own a vehicle with a timing BELT, when God and Henry Ford decreed they should have a chain. Or, in Henry's case, gear on gear.
So Toyota is junk junk junk in the trunk Is definitely junk If you look around you see a lot of Toyota junk in the trunk in yards
2004 Honda Odyssey and 2010 Odyssey. Not a problem. Funny what keeping up on maintenance intervals does. PS: that's an accessory belt, not a timing belt. We can tell what Scottys religion is.
Goodbye goodbye I wouldn't buy a Honda Van anyways
Scotty would you say the 2021 Toyota Sienna is a better vehicle purchase than the 2022 Honda Odyssey? I'm trying to figure out what new car is best for my family in terms of longevity and safety.
It'll be a sad day when Scotty stop making videos.
The Honda minivans look like hearses.
I would slightly disagree about the dodge caravans. the base models, not the grand caravans. The regular base caravans ran forever and did not have all the stuff that would break on them. And the engine and transmissions were the same one's as the Grand caravans, but only had to pull around 2/3 of the weight. The engine and transmissions were designed for the regular Caravans and they did fine. The regular Caravans were not Toyotas, but they cost about 1/2 what the Toyota's cost and they ran a long time for an American car. They were cheap family transportation and kids kill cars interiors pretty quickly…
