Is the 2021 Toyota Sienna Limited a BETTER minivan than a Kia Carnival SX? 

For every MX-5 enthusiast, there’s one of you. Balance.

@@Deschain-um7jz I own an MX-5 RF and a Pacifica. Come to think of it, I also never tip over.

Honda parking and Toyota parking lot are literally empty. Nothing to buy

How did you find that ody?

@@AlGggeee I was wondering the same thing. My sister trying to get a Toyota CHR or Honda CRV and there was nothing anywhere

Odyssey drives much better than the new sienna

We bought a new pilot. Hondas are so boring unfortunately

The most reliable cars not most reliable hybrids, some of their hybrid cars had recalls.

@@user-jv1zn2qz5g I’m not going to buy sienna anymore after only hybrid smh

I hate the ground clearance, it is obvious poor. Taking it to rough roads can cost you more in terms of repair

@@sezaboy2940 lift it

Also expected Toyota reliability

Chrysler is the way to go if you want to have some problems and need to replace the entire engine at 60,000 miles... 🤣

@@MissyMalaprop It’s a lease machine

@@MissyMalaprop Chrysler is only good for rental. Well it’s not like you have a choice when renting a minivan. I almost feel bad for Fiat owners. 😢 …OK I lied 😝

Chrysler!! The WORSE car made ever you'll be so lucky if your engine will reach 80.000 without replacing it!

That's great,good,and Nice.

Pacifica Hybrid with +80 mpge and over 30 miles on battery is it! Male mine a Pinnacle Hybrid for the Lexus Sienna effect.

Aggressive styling???? Really?

@@EK4U yea really. Look at the body lines of the car and you’ll know what I mean

You forgot about the +80 mpg Pacifca Hybrid for daily driving.

@@normt430 That's mpgE. But, yes I've seen them too, but for my area I'm going with the Sienna.

@@watchandjewelryloft4713 we have a 2018 CT6 2.0E PREVOST that gets 40 miles on battery. Which is plenty for us for daily driving. The almost 40 mpg on the turbo-4 is icing on the cake.

@@normt430 Nice..we drive a lot of highway. Interstate 10 to be exact. Probably 15k-20k miles a year on vehicles. Plus I work from home. But, if I did have a job within 40 miles, I think the plug would really be the better choice. Incredible that you can get that in a family hauler now.

@@watchandjewelryloft4713 we could do almost 400 miles a week and seldom use gasoline. Plus where we shop and dine the charging is usually free!

I am going to wait until the NY auto show.

More reliable too

@@ikelee Hondas are reliable my guy.

@@user-jv1zn2qz5g According to Consumer Reports the Odyssey is one of the least reliable vehicles on the market. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EKNUwwK0wsU.html

@@ikelee Consumers report is a known untrustworthy place to know info about anything, do yourself a favor and try the car yourself if you want an actual true conclusion whether it's reliable or not.

But why would you need awd even tho floor clearance is low and the car is heavy so even if you want to drive offroad its going to be stuck for the toyota sienna but if you live in snowy areas well maybe awd will be helpful

@@RaitisRides ;D

That really means so much!

@@RaitisRides nice…stay safe joe

@@josefermalino461 if you look at his Instagram story he is there for the event so we should expect a video soon

@@mattmekhaeil O ok…I don’t have instagram though..lol

Nope. Toyota is moving into electric…this is just one of the first crossover steps.

I traded in my 2014 FJ Cruiser for a 2021Sienna 2 months ago and no regrets. We are empty nesters but went with the Sienna because we love road trips, camping and 3 day music festivals. The Sienna has way more room than the FJ did and is much easier to drive, lots of space and more than double the MPG. We got a small Keurig and my wife plugs it in to make coffee while we're on the road! No more $6 coffee stops that take 20 minutes in a wait line. Don't get me wrong, I loved the FJ and it was a bucket list vehicle for me but for what we do the Sienna is serving our needs well! Because the 2nd row seats don't come out I picked up a Thule cargo box which holds a TON of stuff and I still have the 2nd row seats for additional passengers. We looked at the 4Runner, Highlander, Pilot, etc and we have a couple of friends with older Siennas and for our needs, the Sienna made the most sense. On 180 mile trip from southwest Missouri to Kansas City I got 36 MPG and from KC to Denver we had 33.5 MPG @ 80 mph in June with the AC on. Running the AC does reduce MPG but in cooler weather I've experienced 37 MPG in the city. I actually love the CVT transmission, yeah it seems loud at times but that's rare and you don't feel the vehicle shifting and lurching to find the right gear. LOL alcohol may have played a part in this reply, don't judge!

Shopvac went out of business right before production. That center console that housed the shopvac and fridge got canned because they no longer had a supplier. May appear again in the future. However, going by pics, I don't think I'd want it. It takes up a lot of room in the middle to walk through

Doubt it. They went hybrid for a reason. To get closer to electricity. The plus is fuel economy. Toyota makes good cvts so you wont have to worry about dropping money on it to fix it

@@mattmekhaeil the hybrids don’t use a cvt. The transmission behaves like a cvt but it’s not an actual cvt like in a corolla Plus this e cvt has been proven reliable for 2 decades

So how come you dont have the last generation Sienna? It has 8 speed, AWD and V6.

@@chrgav1286 and the most cargo space and dual moonroof

I know right!

No soccer mom cares

That would be a nice option.

What driving experience? People buying Minivan don’t care but care about the practicality. MPG over V6, we’re not racing anyone.

No one in the market for a minivan really cares, and this powertrain is efficient enough to justify it

Buy an SRT Durango for a fun family car but won't have as much practicality as a Sienna/van
