Well, I have bought new and currently still own 3 of Gen-3 Seinnas (2011 XLE, 2015 L, 2020 Limited), so I may be a bit bias. In addition to the 3 Siennas, I have also bought new a 2002 Mazda MPV, a 2005 Honda Odyssey, 2018 Honda Odyssey. I think they are the most practical vehicles available and I can't ever imagine not owning one (minivan that is). Of all the different minivans I have purchased, the best one in my opinion is the Sienna. On a side note, the 2018 Odyssey with its faulty 9-speed ZF transmission almost killed us a few times, so I traded it for the 2020 Sienna Limited. It will be a cold day in HELL before I buy another Honda product . I've own 3 new Honda vehicles (all with faulty transmissions and two of them almost got my family in accidents) and will never ever purchase another Honda.
Roadtrips and general opinions
Hi everyone,
I'm looking into getting my first sienna and would love some opinions from current owners. I'm looking for a '15-'20 sienna xle or limited. This will be my first van. When my wife and I were expecting our first, my manager suggested we get a minivan because he had one with his kids and loved it. I kind of scoffed at the idea until I went and sat in a 3rd gen xle and loved it immediately. Since then everyone has been trying to convince me I should get a midsized suv but I feel the sienna can't be beat.
I have a few general questions.
What are your opinions on your siennas? Best years/features? Worst years/features? Things look out for when buying?
My wife and i took an 1800 mile round trip in our 08 crv last year and it about killed us from discomfort. After that experience, i really want a couch on wheels. How are they for like an annual roadtrip vacation with the kids? Fuel mileage?
Also I tend to keep vehicles for 10 yrs or so. How many miles have you seen on a 3rd gen?
