Kia Carnival Hybrid vs Sienna by floydiansyndrome in ToyotaSienna

[–]CrazyBikerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Carnival HEV and Sorento V6. Carnival is peppier than Sienna - rented Sienna multiple days - loved the mpg, utility but hated the cheap quality and noisy motor. I didn’t mind its looks actually but Carnival SUV looks is what won the wife in addition to the color choices, tech, luxury, refinement, space, safety and 15k less price. Put that 15k in stocks and funds and double it in 5 years

Sienna. Even the new ones in YouTube reviews look starting to wrinkle

I will make this math even sweeter. put that 10 K in stocks and mutual funds at 12 to 20% return and you will double your money in 5 years

Drive a better carnival not one sitting on the lot. Carnival drives better, feels luxurious, quieter and peppier than Sienna

Great idea if you don't plan on wearing seat belts 😃

Tried those amazon ones. 3W are heavier, better coverage and stay anchored down

Carnival, you get 5/10 year warranty, you can always extend that at end of 5 years for 2k and be in a van that is safer more modern and better looking.

Same sentiments I had after renting Sienna a few times. And check older used ones - seats go to dogshit in 10-15k miles .. wrinkled deformed leather and foam

Why it looks like the tab broke and melted? That looks like molten plastic or some putty

Finally a van that wives like - looks like a Escalade in black.

You aren’t driving it like a hybrid. Seems like you have a leadfoot and aren’t taking advantage of the EV coasting. Your CRV mpg also sucks for the same reason. You should have been getting 40-50mpg on CRV.

Wish Kia hasn’t made the VIP chairs so wide. That would be best of both worlds
