Scotty what are your thoughts on a 2009 Mazda 6 auto with 175k kms for $9500. I live in Australia btw and the price is in Australian dollars
we have Toyota innova in India same as sienna
Waymo uses the Pacifica for self driving ride share here in Arizona I wish you would had mentioned that Scotty
My AC works until I am sitting still for a while then it gets warm, but when I start driving it gets ice cold.
Do you have any ideas?
Scotty I need your help ASAP my dad watches you all the time. I want you to mention him. His name is Aaron. Like I said he watches you…he bought a Mercedes…Yes a Mercedes. Worst car ever. We had bad problems with it and got stranded at the beach. Can you please tell him (us) the best cheap trucks for traveling. He won’t listen to me. And if he sees a video telling him he’s in the wrong and he should get a reliable vehicle even though your gonna have to put some money into it. Please please. I need your help. -thank you very much, Katelyn
As someone who drives a sienna. I’d go with the sienna. Reliability all the way.
Me too mine has 180, thousand engine shifting still good XLE model 2007. But under carriage needed all redone. Heavy car. But handles like new still.
@@laurieclark2456 oh i love it when the engine shifts. Lol
@@inquisitorfederov5470 😭
Yup, ours has been rock solid. I wouldn't touch anything Chrysler even if it was free.
I love Toyota reliability.
We’re building the Siennas as fast as we can here in Princeton. Love to see so many people love the Toyota products!
You seem to have an inside track can you tell me what is the reason why there's not that many new Tacomas for sale. Here in Northeast New York. Is it because of the chip shortage ?
My 2005 Sienna still runs flawlessly at 308k miles. I definitely want another Sienna when it comes to replacing my 05 Sienna.
Keep going! We have a Woodland trim on order.
Keep going! We have a Woodland trim on order.
@@seikocitizenwatches wow , that’s fantastic, you’ll probably go to 500 K plus no problem
I’m driving my 3rd Sienna now, and my 4th Toyota minivan. They’ve all been awesome with no major issues whatsoever. None were even close to being new, with my Previa having 400k and my other 2 Sienna’s at almost 300k when I sold them to get a newer Sienna. Been driving Toyota’s for 22 years now and loving every one of them!
👍 100%
@@gloria2619❤❤
Awesome! When you buy one, what's the average mileage that you buy it with?
used own a Sienna, from 0 to 110k, ZERO problems, amazing quality.
Learn some grammar.
RIP previa. Mid engine and supercharged, perfect dad van.
growing up my dad had 3 Previas and literally every time I see one it reminds me of him. Good childhood memories LOL
@@mutaal5770 We still get the Previa (Estima,Tarago) in Australia, well up until 2018. Beautiful vans.
Same my dad had one, but unfortunately it got into a accident in 2019. It was a 96, supercharged, rwd, put out about 100 horse power if I remember.
I still have my '95 S/C RWD 4 cylinder Previa with 161 HP with 310k miles on it. The a/c and all still works . Non supercharged was 134 hp like my wife's '92 All-Trac (all wheel drive version) that she uses as her daily driver. They fit 7 people and the rear seats fold flat and flip up and the middle seats can be removed so that you could use it to haul stuff or put a mattress in there to go camping. My dad had two until my nephew decided to wreck the 1996 All-Trac Supercharged one into a tree. Now he has the '92 RWD version. My daughter has a '93 with a standard stick shift and crank windows. These are great vans.
Yes only saw two in my life so far in person.
My wife has a 2017 Pacifica with less than 40k miles. It’s in the shop for repairs every few months. It was very nice new but it’s not reliable.
sell it
We have 2008 Toyota Sienna. Just got new water pump. To does wear out tires but wife does not drive easy either. She drives hard and it has taken it. We got with 80,000 on it 6 years ago. 260,000 miles later still running strong!
Ever since thy started puting mexican n chinese parts usa cars going down everyear
Omg 😳😳😳
@@abeltasman225 not so much parts it’s where they use them. Toyota is Chinese parts as well. Go look at the Prius is now made in China. I have the last Japanese Toyota made Prius in Ontario. 2017 was last year we got them. Now they are built in Mexico China and Canada.
After reading all the literature about Mini Vans in 2021. I decided to order a 2022 Toyota Sienna on Thanksgiving Eve 2021. On May 7th 2022 , I took delivery of my new Sienna. I am totally satisfied with the driving comfort, handling in all driving conditions, and all the operations and space have with my 2022 Sienna. I have also have used my Sienna as a camper. Old Guys driving Mini Van's rule .
After 45 years of driving a pickup, I’m done.
I have 10k miles on my FWD 2021 Toyota Sienna XLE. It’s my daily driver - 2500 miles per month
I’m averaging 38mpg. Plenty of power to merge. Handles well on curvy roads.
I’m very pleased. Never dreamed I’d own a minivan.
I’m 40 and have been driving minivans for 15 years I’m on 5th Honda Odyssey but AWD I’m thinking jumping ship to the Sienna
@@pasofino9583 make sure to test drive first. People who have drove odyssey have hard time with Sienna because odyssey seems to be more powerful and sporty and Sienna hybrid is good in fuel economy but it does not have quick sporty feel to it. So you just need to get used to that. Then it should be fine. I ordered my new 2023 Sienna, which should be here on Dec 30 th per dealership to replace my 2006 Sienna been driving Sienna for last 16 years. Good luck
@@lillymanta7642 oh no! that’s what I love about my Odyssey the van is fast I don’t know what 0-60 is but I’m peeling off sometimes leaving people in my dust. But the thing is always needing gas I put 70,000 first year on it. 🤠
@@pasofino9583 yes I have heard odyssey owners complaining about the feel of zooming through. But yea something to get used to save money on gas. My friend who owns Sienna hybrid says he gets 38mpg. I am all for that!!
@@lillymanta7642 wth that’s awesome, I have 2021 odyssey has till 2024 if not I’m heading the sienna way, do you have those reclining seats in the back?
I have the 2021 Sienna and I love it! She is a real dream and I couldn’t be happier. Toyota all day!
same!! i love it, wife loves it, kids love it!
Literally just ordered a 2021 awd sienna today in cypress green. I went back and forth with honda, but Toyota is as reliable as you can buy and they back their products.
So lucky u have a 2021
Bought my wife the 2021 Sienna XLE. Great gas mileage and very modern. Smooth ride and quite.
LIKE SMOOTH LEXUS
I like Odessy’s mkre
I’m guessing you mean XLE in terms of the trim?
@@HughRussell06 - Thank you for the correction. I made the change.
Glad you and your Wife enjoy the new Sienna, i worked on it…
Definitely the Toyota Sienna. I sold Toyota for 12 years and the Sienna was always one of my favorites. It has an amazing turning radius you can park it anywhere. Plus rock solid dependability . Amazing ride and great fuel economy too.
The Kia Carnival is Better
Very simple ---> If your goal is long term ownership, go Toyota and live a happy life. Chrysler products have a long history of being mechanical nightmares... dont get fooled by sleek lines/looks!
Agree...Chrysler vehicle last max 5 to 7 year and then get ready to pay pay and pay
@@zuberalisyed9786 have 2013 dodge Grand Caravan, so far headlight replaced for water intrusion, 178 Can, and oil sensor for around 60 Can. Very reliable starts and goes.
@@roycekletke8858 not mine I practically changed oil filter adapter, few sensors, coolant lines, transmission oil filter adapter, coolant flush, now the struts and spring

It may run great.... but how does it taste?

@@sagebowyer5400 I don’t do FB.
I prefer the Sienna - legendary Toyota reliability and 36 mpg trumps the Pacifica.
You right, the Sienna is the best van, no comparison to the Pacifica.
36 mpg unloaded maybe...
Don’t trust a Chrysler transmission
@Darth Dracula no one would ever pay the $ for a lexus van.
@@here-i-am2316 that’s why you get the PHEV, no trans and 35 miles pure ev plus 10k in rebates
I own a 2004 Toyota Sienna LE with 195,000 miles and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned. Just took my van to Scotty's house in Clarksville, TN last week. Scotty drove my van and loved it. I'm anxiously waiting to see Scotty's video about it!
We have the 04 with just over one hundred thousand Mike's bought new . By Will
I've seen more Siennas make it to 300,000 miles, than I have Pacificas that make it 100,000 miles. Siennas all the way. Usually easier to work on too
I'd prefer the Toyota minivan mostly because I have never owned a Chrysler product and never will unless someone gives me one.
But I have known people who have owned them and they turned out to be crap. I also know people who have owned Toyota minivans and know that they are very reliable.
Toyota minivans are not known for their reliability. Look it up.
I have pacifica hybrid 18 with 160000mi , going strong on engine and transmission, hi-tech future better then any minivan. My opinion is if you keep care any car will long life
I'm driving my 4th Chrysler minivan, a 2014 Ram C/V with 160,000 miles. 2 of my previous Grand Caravans went just over 250,000 miles and were retired because of rust. The other one hit a moose and was totaled at 190,000 miles. The only major repair for any of them was a transmission rebuild at about 210,000 miles. I have no complaints with Chrysler reliability.
The Pacifica is selling well to the rental fleets.
A sale is a sale.
@@thetruthspeaks8702 No it’s not. Would you take a hot dog over a nice steak just because it’s cheaper if you had money for both?
The voyager LXi is what rental car fleets get. Costumers can’t go to a dealer and buy that trim on fleets can. Sienna are in rental fleets too
@Fee Fee But it has a lot to do with resale value.
Drove rental Pacifica in late 2020... had only 28k on it and trans was already slipping. Very comfortable though and took me from CA to FL through various mountains and deserts.
My 2003 Odyssey is still chugging along 160K no transmission problems. My dad has meticulously maintained it from the moment he bought it new in 03
I have one. Barely had any major issues with my 2003 odyssey exl. It's loaded with all the options i could ask for
@@NoCanDojack So you have the heated seats and the DVD player I assume
@@willdowns1745 oh yes, & a power 2 sliding doors
@@NoCanDojack I can’t close the sliding doors by the handle. the van is old and has Ohio rust. I have to use the remote or the little switchgear on the dash to close the doors
they eat gas like crazy
I've never owned a mini van or Toyota. But recently bought a 2021 Sienna XSE, with Entertainment system for the kids. I Love it. Great family vehicle.
I prefer Toyota anything to Chrysler. The Sienna is better because first of all it will last, secondly it is available as a hybrid AWD, and thirdly it looks better.
Scotty doesn't write the scripts or produce these narrated videos. In my opinion, they diminish his credibility.
hi the sienna is ugly and looks cheap and the back has oversized tail lights and my friends broke at 90k miles, and it was literally so ugly they literally fired the designer of it (if you didn’t know), and the engines are so ghetto they don’t even start in the cold 😍😍😍, and the interior of the sienna is full of cheap plastic and i saw a new sienna and the tint on it is already peeling, wow the sienna is so reliable and totally has amazing good quality 💀
@@fergie1926 You must be speaking of a Chrysler. I have never had any such experience (except styling, which is subjective, and I can partially agree with you about because I don’t like the styling of almost any new cars). I just put a timing belt on a 2002 Sienna for a neighbor. It is the hand me down kid car that she replaced with a 2018 Sienna. The 2002 has over >350,000 miles. Original engine, original transmission, starts and drives like new. Her 2018 has almost 50,000 on it now and runs like a top. I have serviced tons of cars and trucks in all makes and models and the Toyota and Honda models have always been the longest lasting and least troublesome. That’s why I own three Toyotas, the lowest mileage of which is >155,000 miles, the highest is >240,000. It sounds like the one you saw had aftermarket tint (factory tint is incorporated into the glass) and must have been dropped off the car carrier.
@@thatcarguy1UZ This @Paco guy has his brands mixed. My '99 V6 Camry & 2018 Sienna are great. The more bland the minivan, the more I like it also.
@@fergie1926 Your friend probably never changed the oil, left idling long periods, drove rough, or something to make it blow at 90k miles. My family has a 2008 sienna since new and its damn near 300k miles now. Just fluid changes and brakes and timing thats all. Or your friend just bought a wrecked van XD
Toyota Sienna all day... Picked up an 05 few months ago. Love it! May get another as a work vehicle as a mobile mechanic.
Honda Odyssey ftw.
Please come join my group on FB Toyota Sienna Owners Club
Think the Pacifica would be good for my line of work? I commit smash and grabs.
@@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence Yea definitely.
Ive have a 05 too. I bought it new. Its a beast, little issues with doors and things, but transmission solid.
Bought a 2016 Honda Odyssey for 12k during the lockdown was the best vehicle purchase I made in a long time. We drove almost 4000 miles road trip with no problem whatsoever and average 31MPG.
I've owned 4 Chrysler town and country mini vans. The current, 2009 has 206,000.miles iles. Love the utility. With grand kids and camping trips there is nothing better than the stow in go seats.
I retired my 98 t&c with 260,000 mi. On 2nd transmission and too many problems to keep on road.
I would like to have a Toyota Seinna of course! I had a 1990 Ford Aerostar in 2003 my husband got it for one dollar when we used to live in Snellville, Georgia. It was awsome. It was so awsome I would accidentally leave the keys in the ignition in the Wal-mart parking lot several times and nobody ever stole it! The side door would swing open when I took off and slam shut when I came to a stop.
Probably thought your ford was on its last leg.
This lady rides in style and you can't make me change my mind
Great vehicle
Just discovered your channel and as a mechanic who hasn't been able to work in over 4 years due to long term illness you remind me of shhoting the bull in the shop. Keep up the good work!
Hi 👋
hope you get better brah.
Get wel soon.
Just bought a 2020 Toyota Sienna based on Scotty’s recommendation.
I know...... I want one! 🙌🏼❤️
I recently questioned a long time Sienna owner about her new Sienna hybrid and she was thrilled with the technology and the in town gas mileage. She is a classic stay home parent with multiple children and multiple sports and other activities and she puts a lot of miles on her vehicles. She was extremely enthusiastic about the 2021 Sienna Hybrid.
We owned a Pacifica and had transmission issues. Sold it to carvana and didn’t lose any money on it. Bought a used 2012 sienna cash and trust is more than the Pacifica. Sienna feels bigger inside. I used to hit my head on the Pacifica getting into the driver seat.
Same problem we had in our 2017 Pacifica. Transmission was bad and we only had 30k miles
Toyota all the way due to great build quality and durability.
Yup! a rusty 2000 sienna with 389k is a steal a $9999.00 lol
@@skisgy probably talking about my grandmothers old sienna that thing went places fr
That’s especially true with the Japanese built ones! Always check where the car is made!
I love them up here in the northeast. They rust out so bad they keep my shop busy
HAHAHA! That Sienna couldn't handle my EX... Years ago my ex told me to get that piece o' crap Honda out of her driveway or she'll have it towed away. The 2002 minivan was in my name and she managed to go through her 2nd transmission. I took the car back and got the dealer to replace the trans, meanwhile she went out and got a brand new Sienna which took her less than 3 years to destroy.😂 I still use my Honda today as my daily driver and just used it for a 600 mile trip to Laughlin, Nevada in 115 degree heat. 😁
For those who never knew, the Toyota Previa was the only minivan to my knowledge that ever came supercharged (depending on the trim)! Haha! It's a sleeper too! Just imagine what you can do with it if it was modified!
One bad thing with Toyota Sienna is that you cannot easily remove the rear seats. I guess I’ll have to wait for a hybrid small cargo van.
My wife and I just purchased the 2022 Honda Odyssey and we love it! The 1995 F-350 if for the snow driving.
Same here. Got one about 2 months ago. We are really impressed by the oomph it has to overtake on two lane highways. The thing goes from 90 to 150km/h like a 🚀. And that's with kids and luggage in it. Really impressed by the Vtech + in house 10 speed combo. And 8ish litres per 100km on the road is also not too shabby.
We have a 2017 Odyssey SE, we LOVE IT. It's pretty fast, very comfortable and roomy, and gets decent gas mileage. We have 44,600 miles on it and no issues so far!
Had absolutely no problems toting the family thru the snow this year in our 2015 AWD Sienna.
people who experience a lot of snow driving will lend towards the Pilot more.
Just bought a Sienna! Love it. Recently packed it to near capacity and took the family on vacation. Got 36 mpg average, and so quiet. Love Toyota Safety Sense! Practically drives itself. All that plus Toyota build quality makes it the best minivan choice by far, IMO.
Got mine a couple months ago. It’s a no brainer with the fuel efficiency and Toyota reliability. It gets the same gas mileage as a Corolla but seats at least 7 and has more luxury!
Two things that are missing in today's minivans especially Toyota. Lack of rear swing out windows and no ability to fit 4x8 sheets of construction materials. Seams like a little thing but if you want to sleep in a rest area or carry animals or vent some wetsuits after watersport session those windows were crucial. Instead, whole bunch of useless electronics.
My 2004 Sienna is used for everything. Family trips, service vehicle when I work on rentals. Very versatile vehicle. Never thought car can last that long and still drive great like new.
I own an 05 AWD Sienna, and love that minivan.

I work in rental. The sienna are far more reliable but the customers like the Pacifica more. The interior is nicer and the features are really great. We don't carry the odyssey unfortunately
"you don't care the Odyssey or you don't carry the Odyssey? I travel a lot, 4x a year, and I tend to rent domestics more than the Toyota. One main reason, they handle better and you don't have to worry about maintenance issues.
@@misterle7026 edited. Carry
Ofcourse, I would rent the Pacifica and buy the sienna since I won't have to worry about maintenance
Purchased a new Supercharged AWD Previa when they first came out. The only time it visited the dealer was for regular maintenance. Parted with it at 230k miles. Still drove like new and handled like a dream in Midwest snow storms. Might pickup the new 2022 Sienna later this year.
My first van was a 1990's Aerostar well we went to trade it for a 2002 honda odyssey. That 2002 honda ody has 214000miles and we got her with 98k miles in 2006.
Both are crappy!
I bought an 03 Odyssey in 11 w 123k and just traded it in for 20 Sienna...the Odyssey had 228K Miles on it 😁 and the newer Sienna has 35K now.
My parents had a 2003 Odyssey. It had 265k miles when they sold it.
rn, my lastest vid is showing how bad the crash bar is rusting away and the fender wells. Not bad if I get on top of it no problem need to use 80 grit paper than to smaller grit until Bondo is safely attached to close the gap.
who cares so what I like this van because of vtec and very safe compared to my 2002 ford focus that is a hospital sender the van is a lot safer than my car.
Toyota Siennas are the MOST reliable vehicles in the world. Can't go wrong with that. A proven winner and legendary van that will last a very long time and will have amazing resale value. If taken care of, you can expect to get a MINIMUM of 300,000 miles with a Sienna. Can't say that about any other van.
I'm at 153k on my 2015, just upgtaded the brakes - out of necessity - to slotted and drilled rotors and Bosch pads. Looking forward to 900k more miles!
Managed to grab a 21 Sienna in April. It has been legendary for family roadtrips. Not only comfortable and roomy, but efficient.
Loved my 2010 Sienna so much went and got me a 2017 xle. Can't beat them. My 2010 has 285000 miles on it and still runs like a champ.
Between the two, I pick Honda Odyssey!
Me too, Odyssey is the golden standard.
I live in OH and wanted to buy a Sienna for the AWD. Test drove both the Sienna and the Odyssey and there was no comparison in driving dynamics. Went with the Honda. The Honda drives like a sedan while the Sienna drove like a van.
@@helmutvogel1112 bingo, Honda is exciting to drive even the minivan. The V6 coupled with the 10 speed is a killer combo.
This is the way
The first odyssey had nice body. Should of kept that style.
I have seen many new Toyota Siennas in person and they are very sharp vehicles especially when in the HSE trim. Their stigma aside, pound for pound minivans are the most eminently practical vehicles on the road. Thank you for an excellent presentation 👍👍
Have a 2015 Sienna SE for 2 years now, best minivan hands down!!! Blows the competition out of the water!
This year we switched from a 2015 Sienna XLE to the 2021 XSE. Never had issues with the 2015 XLE. We switched because it was totaled. I was surprised by how much we got from the insurance company for a 90k miles totaled Sienna. They definitely keep their value. My wife loves the 21 XSE she gets tons of compliments about how nice it is and the GPM economy is awesome compared to the 2015 Sienna.
Personally I’m a Chrysler minivan person. I grew up with them and both my grandparents have the new Pacifica. The catch is that they both have lifetime mopar max care bumper to bumper warranty 😎 we snagged one literally on the last day they sold the warranty because my grandmas grand caravan was totaled by a deer. The three rows of sunroofs and the stow-and-go seats do it for me lol.
Exactly.
Too bad they don’t have Toyota’s reliability.
Toyota Previa, Tarago in Australia, is still produced, until 2019 at least, here. A fantastic van .And the JDM Estima model is imported here full of luxuries and half the price. On my fourth one.
I am not diminishing previous videos when I say this. This is quite possibly one of the best if not the best video I've seen from you Scotty and I've seen a lot of them keep up the great work.
My family bought the second gen Sienna back in 2005 when I was a new bring that van was great so comfortable and reliable and was decently Quick, and just this year at 820000km she still running strong and just the regular maintenance trans fluid and oil changes these vehicles are built to serve and she's survived Canadian winters all its life
Who needs a van when you can drive a 94’ Celica ??
Exactly
Third row = trunk
Hatchback
I wouldnt mind an awd supercharged 94 previa
How about a family with several kids?
When I saw them both at a car show a couple of years ago, I preferred the Pacifica due to its features and tech but the Sienna was nice overall.
I love the little Previa graphic you use throughout the video! My mom had one when I was little; I loved that van! Toyota knows what they're doing.
GM offered a powered mobility seat in 2001, for the entire minivan line. The powered seat base was dealer installed, and half the cost of aftermarket competitors seat. Plus it was covered under the new vehicle warranty.
Hello scotty parents just got a 21 Sienna a month ago and it is a nice ride
i think i'd go with sienna. never owned a minivan but I decided that this will be the car that I will work for since we travel all over in CA, NV, and OR, so I think the AWD features, definitely the AC system, and room will be what draws me toward the sienna. plus, I recently looked online and i saw somewhere if you purchase a 2021 sienna they will give you lifetime warranty for transmission repair. so I guess they are that confident at the specific dealer I was looking at.
The Van has become my #1 favourite vehicle type. Love my VW Touran and I am ready to upgrade it to a Sharan 💪💪
Honda Odyssey it’s what the wife likes and if she’s happy. Everyone’s happy
Happy wife, happy life.
Odyessy magic slide second row sold my family on it over the other vans. So much easier for more than 3 car seats.
I hear terrible things of the odyssey
@@smacktonian it is better than the other vans other than the sienna. Wife's happiness/sanity is worth the risk. Luckily she doesn't put on many miles per year.
Love my 2000 Sienna XLE. Smooth ride and lots of power.
2000 Sienna w 408000. Ready for another.
I love all the 90's & early 2000 vehicles talk. Brings back memories.
I just purchased a 2021 Sienna about a month ago, I have the XSE AWD JBL Model. I took the Van on a road trip, loved it. The space and the cup holders, the safety is amazing for my big Family. All the technology build in is so convenient and don't' forget the gas saver.
I've been begging Scotty to review Toyota Sienna 2021 since it came out!
I prefer the Honda because of the v6 engine. Just waiting for them to put in awd on so so our family can replace our current Odessey. The Sienna should have offered two options for engine choice.
Since you know better you should start a competing company and run them out of business.
Mee too, I love honda. Why is scotty partial and omits honda.
And where is kia carnival
i feel the toyota has a very good hybrid, id trust them, we have a 2017 sienna, i test drove a 21 sienna, liked it!
it's not only the v6, but the 10 Speed Auto Transmission is TOP of it's class.
I have owned the same sienna since 2004 with over 220000 miles. It has never broke down or didn’t run right. All I have ever done is preventive maintenance. change fluids spark plugs filters brake pads. I just changed the timing built. So I will probably see well over 300000 miles on mine.
We are original owners of a 1999 Toyota Sienna with over 300k miles on it. It still runs great but only now is beginning to feel it's age after 22 years! Not sure if current vehicles will be able match that reliability and the price tags are out of sight!
I am the 2nd owner of a 1999 Toyota Sienna. I bought it a couple years ago with 180,000 miles. It now has 217,000 and runs smooth and strong, like a new car. I only paid $2400 including tax. I did upgrade the suspension, steering, brakes. It runs great and I expect to last many more years!
I still love the Odyssey
+ 1
I still love the Previa
The only mini van that you could put a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat on the floor at the time
you can do that in the chrysler
And it was supercharged and mid engine. Technically the van version of a supercar lol
Plywood fit... But that was quite a tight fit
Prévia has those swivel seats, and it was a great van for vacations
I had ladder rack on mine .Two ladders , 5 pc of plywood,tools,3-4 guys,no problem.
quite a while since I watch one of your videos and wow!! you're way more than a mechanic, you're an excellent content creator.
I'm one of "those" consumers. Our family fleet consists of a 15 year old Buick LuCerne and 12 year old Dodge Grand Caravan. You've said on other videos that hybrids with batteries will not last as long as ICE vehicles. I'm looking to update our family mini van and will keep it for 12 to 15 years. I'm following your advice for longevity and avoiding getting a Hybrid.e.g. a Toyota Sienna. 10:08
My brother has owned Chrysler minivans for many years. Never the first problem. He had to order his 2021 Pacifica as the dealers in upstate New York didn't have any on their lot. Took 4 months to get his but says it was well worth the wait. He always checks out the competition and says nothing is nearly as good as the Chrysler minivans. Just loves his new one. He's now 86 years old.
Hahaha, good luck
I fell in love with the Pacifica interior, but the exterior has to be a sienna.
As toolmaker 33 years built many die cast dies for all big car company's and let me tell yea Chrysler was the least doing engineering changes this meant there were best out of all big companies using same transmission over years even to this day best out of all by far as proven by this philosophy
It's all a matter of personal taste, but I find the Sienna incredibly ugly, which is why I am having a real hard time thinking about buying one as opposed to the Kia Carnival.
Hi, Scotty.
Partial to Sienna, especially the earlier models- they seem to be more robust than the following iterations. We've a 2007 Sienna XLE with 322 K+ miles (single owner); same engine & transmission. Took the van "car" camping last year from east coast to Washington state, back thru Texas and hit the Smokey Mountains on the way back. Planning more of the same with our van.
Thank you so much Scotty for another outstanding video, I'm extremely grateful for it, keep it up the great work.
I had a 2015 sienna se that I sold .... now I'm buying a 2021 sienna xse this weekend! I love my new sienna .
@Sean _ thank you
I bought my wife a 2015 Sienna AWD and it has 115,000 miles on the 3.5 liter v6. We used nothing but synthetic oil and is quiet and powerful even for its age. Never a problem with it. We’ve had Explorers and Jeeps but the Sienna is probably the best vehicle we’ve owned right next to our 2014 Corolla .
I wouldn't owy either minivan
Great update of content. Congratulations 👏
I love our 21’ Sienna XSE front wheel drive, 12 months and 10,000 miles of versatile, stylish, comfortable and functional. Great vehicle for road trips and even more efficient around town.
I would prefer a combination of Chrysler’s styling with Toyota’s reliability. But then again our family vehicle is a 2008 town & country and we’ve never had a single mechanical problem to this date, it’s been the perfect vehicle. The plan is to drive it until the wheels fall off and according to Scotty that shouldn’t be very long from now LOL.
Then you won the Chrysler lottery. We had a Plymouth Voyager that required 3 transmission rebuilds before it hit 130,000 miles. Piece of junk!
My 2008 Grand Caravan never gave me a lick of trouble either.
@@johnjorgensen6882 Had a Caravan that eat brake pads like M&M. Change ABS twice. Also have the electronic gremlins as you drive the locks keep locking and unlocking and the lights flicking. My friends and family call it "The posses van" and jokes about needing and exorcist never end. Couldn't take it anymore.
Had a 93’ G.V. that had TWO engine rebuilds along with the transmission. The headlight module went out and had to turn off the lights by popping the hood and pulling the connectors. Though it had plenty off room to haul stuff and it was one of the best stopping vehicles I ever had. Bought a 2000 T & C that was a money Rat Hole. Threw Thousands into it and it Still had More problems. I donated it just to cut my losses. NO More Chrysler products for me!!! Or whatever company is now in ownership; Fiat, Stellantis or ?
@@robertneal6878 Yeah, we ended up donating ours as well. Since then we have only purchased Honda Civics, and Toyota for anything larger.
Why do i feel like most parents will use that “voice amplification” system to tell their kids to shut the F up.
That lens is to get kids used to being watched by the govt... 5g.. is the devil
You have to get the Samuel L Jackson version.

Actually it would be the quote from Pulp Fiction “SHUT THE F#%K UP”!!!!!
My first car was a rusty purple Plymouth Grand Voyager. I loved that land barge.
We own a 2011 sienna. We bought it in 2017 and went with them due to reliability. My wife talked to people who owned dodge and Chrysler vans and heard they just were in the shop a lot even new ones and to stay away. We only had one major issue a oil cooler line burst, and 2 minor issues the passenger side middle window doesn't work and one of the sliding door cables snapped. I'm very happy with it and how owned a lot of different makes of cars with variety of problems. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the new Sienna Hybrid.
I love these I swear! Big Scotty fan! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m currently in the market now and love the Pacifica plug in hybrid. I was considering it until finding out about the fire hazard recall that Chrysler still doesn’t have a fix for along with the price to change out the hybrid battery pack. The lifespan of the packs are 2-4 years and supposedly over $12k to replace. It’d be hard for me personally to own one knowing that I’d have to spend that much on a new pack even once or twice over its life cycle. Now I’m leaning towards the Sienna bc of the hybrid. The odyssey needs to catch up and offer a plug in or at a minimum a hybrid,maybe offer AWD.
Just yesterday, I removed the middle row seats on my Toyota 2013 to put 5 drywall sheets, which perfectly fit in the HUGE cargo space created! I am in love with my Sienna!!! It is THE CAR!!!
Bought my 2006 Crand Caravan 6 years ago mostly because of the Stow-n-Go, and the price was right at that time ($4600). It’s been a great van since I’ve had it. I’ve only done general maintenance to it, beyond replacing then condenser a necessity in Florida, shocks/struts, and a $500 paint job last summer. As the 4th owner and at 168,000 miles, it’s done multiple cross-country trips and just took six of us and luggage to Miami and back (750 miles round trip). Like any car its’ days are certainly numbered, but I most likely see myself doing a Pacifica though when the time comes.
I love the edits on all these informative videos KING SCOTTY makes 👍
Love my 2001 Sienna. Makes me money every day
Yup my Mom still drivers hers every day
I have a 2005, I bought new. It's a great car. Very reliable, easy to drive.
What do you do? Deliver pizza?
Deliver and assemble furniture, lawn care, handy man. Anything I can do, I do it. All my tools are in my Sienna. That’s how it makes me money every day
My 2014 Sienna has been amazing. It now has 151 000kms and it's going strong. I have driven it hard, not as much now because the gas prices and maybe I'm finally turning into a more mature driver. It's powerful and it's nice to drive. My only complaint would be brakes have been replaced more than I'd like but it's possibly from the way I've drove it. Other than than It has been flawless. I can't wait to get the new one maybe in another year or 2.
Fabulous editing!))💕
I would take the Sienna simply based on my personal history of experience with Toyota. Quality product with high resale value.
I have a 2022 odyssey, and i came from a 2008 sienna which i loved, then a 2018 sienna se that i hated. The honda in my opinion is way more comfortable and has more features for less money. Also had a 2013 caravan that was a complete shitbox but the stow and go is an awesome feature.
The 2nd gen Sienna was truly the best of the best. The Lexus of minivans. The 3rd gen was a letdown interior quality wise.
I got 2018 Odyssey because I can't get over the fact that NONE of the Sienna offer: AWD with 8 passenger and leather. That's like impossible thing for Toyota to make. Also, Sienna bench seat middle row is an after thought, a big joke from Toyota engineer.
Odyssey right much more comfortable and it's lower to the ground feel more like a bigger car than minivan. Also Odyssey beat Sienna in mpg before the new Sienna Hybrid. I'm getting 28.5 mpg highway on my 2018 Odyssey.
I mean for an older guy Scotty the quality of your videos are amazing 💯
My dad has a Sienna with almost 300k miles. Hes gone.from Chicago to Guadalajara Mexico several times and says he trust it can do several more trips 😄
Although the Toyota may have the edge dependability wise, the Pacifica is an extremely wonderful machine. I own a 2019 version, and I am consistently amazed with its fit, finish, and comfort.
How many miles have you put on, Im considering this year model?
Love My Chrysler Pacifica. 3 years runs great. Going to update to an All Wheel Drive 2021 Pacifica
Check out the awd hybrid sienna first🤣
1999 Toyota Sienna with 258000 miles - NO major problems at all. Just the routine oil change, brakes, tune-up, timing belt, strut replacement. Will be selling it in the near future to buy my next Toyota!
I have a 99 Sienna with 217,000 miles and it drives perfect! I bought it 3 years ago with 180,000 miles for $2400 tax included. I replaced struts, motor mounts, CV joints, brakes, tires, timing belt and water pump. It is rock solid and invincible!
