Do you guys hate it or love it? We have a 2005 Toyota Sienna LE and I love it. My neighbors always tell me that Honda Oddysey is better because they got this and that blah blah blah blah...and some even made comments that Toyota breaks down easy. Do you guys have any problems?

We had a 2003 Sienna that we leased and we just turned it in for a 2007. We never had any problems whatsoever with the older one. I had a Grand caravan before that and hated it...it had problems from the start.
I've heard the same thing about the odyssey but our Honda dealer would not work out a payment plan for us so we stayed with Toyota.

I have an Ody and love it but I test drove both before buying and found the Sienna just as nice! Why would your neighbors brag about their car like that? Doesn't seem very neighborly to me...

I have a 2006 Sienna and love it. Has never broken down and is very dependable. We had another one before this and loved that one too.

I think the main feature that the ODY has that my neighbors like to compare about our Toyota is their "automatic door" is like they hit a button and walahhhh it opens.. I never really done a research about ODY before we got the Toyota so I'm assuming that whatever "brand new" our neighbors have in their vehicle either it was already there or they put it themselves. I just didn't like people telling me that Toyota has too many problems because if that's the case DH and I are screwed from the beginning. So far we don't have a problem and we are loving it. To me honestly both HOnda and Toyota are the same.

I have a toyota 2005 sienna LE and it has one power door too! so toyotas have them too, I think if you get the all loaded version, it has both power doors and power tail too. so tell your neighbours too ooooh that!
The main three car makers Japanese that is are Honda, Toyota and Nissan, and all their cars are good quality. You can be sure it will be a good buy with them.

I am not sure about the newer ones but when I got my 2005 Ody, I had to get the high end model for the power tailgate. I am glad I did though, those doors are really heavy! I think all that matters (or SHOULD matter) is that YOU are happy with your car and it sounds like you are!

We bought a 2004 Sienna LE in 2006. I LOVE IT!! It does have a power door. Thus far it has been a perfect vehicle! I was my first "pre-owned" purchase for a vehicle and it was a GREAT purchase for us.
