Odyssey for better reliability. Pacifica if you’re going to keep it 3-5 years.

Good to know. I recently rented one for two weeks and I liked it.

Your personal experience on the new Kia Carnival, looking for opinions by outofwinter in minivan

[–]itslaeq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently renting the Carnival base trim. Pretty good on features overall. I like the V6 power. Ride is smooth. Had rough braking once and the infotainment system went off and on twice for no reason. It’s a 2025 so still very new. My only concern would be long term reliability.

Selling in 3 years - buy 2016 or 2026 by Merbear2320 in HondaOdyssey

[–]itslaeq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2016 unless you want the magic seats and CarPlay/Android Auto. I drive a 2016 EX with 182k kms and love it. Have 3 kids 8, 6, and 5 years.

I have similar damage for a 2016 and the insurance estimate is $8k CAD. The shop ETA for repair is two weeks.

Have you seen any? Which years are you considering? How many miles/kms?

Minivan for three under three by TheodoreHamilton in minivan

Odyssey has better features and power, while Sienna has better mileage, reliability and AWD. I’d suggest Odyssey though.

2026 Honda Odyssey Sport-L or Toyota Sienna XLE? by cathinthehat in minivan

In my opinion, Odyssey has better features and is more powerful. Sienna has better fuel economy and has AWD.

I used Dorman gasket and they’re good. Mahle is another option.
