2015 and the fancy one - limited?Yes, I don't think anyone in this thread has said that Toyota, or any other manufacturer, hasn't had any issues at all whatsoever. But, if you could find some data/stats on reported issues on 2018+ Odysseys vs. 2020+ Sienna Hybrids, we are probably going to see a trend where the Odyssey issues are going to be more. The other thing as well is the Odyssey still using a timing belt that needs to be replaced every ~100k or so, as an additional data point against the Odyssey.
What year/trim is your friends Sienna hybrid?
The only thing we found worse on the Sienna vs. the Odyssey was the center console area of the Sienna. We didn't like how raised it was. We like the open area of the Odyssey in there. But that's more aesthetics than a problem or issue. Everything else, sans the "magic seat" of the Odyssey, we loved on the Sienna.
When we shopped, couldn’t stand the ergonomics of the screens and whatnot on the sienna.
I originally went in thinking we would buy a sienna, given that I grew up in, and even learning to drive in a Previa.
The TB thing is way overblown imo.
