Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna or Nissan Quest?



^Couple of corrections.

My personal preference is the Sienna for its refinement, safety, and quality, but I'd go for the Quest if its reliability seemed to be improving.

I am IFCAR and I approve this message. --------- I own one %26 maybe I should have said throttle response instead of HP, since I obviously stand corrected. I drove all 3 2006 models before my wife %26 I decided on a gently used (completely thrashed) 2001 Toyota Sienna XLE. It has had a few issues, that have hopefully been resolved in the newer models. I felt that the Quest was better off the line than the Odyssey, not that I was racing them or anything, but I felt an oveall lag more from the Honda, than the Nissan. The Toyota was fine %26 responsive.

83 VW Jetta TDI

03 Toyota Corolla S

04 VW Beetle Convertible Turbo
02 Honda Accord SE
01 Toyota Sienna XLE --------- My first choice would be the Quest, without a doubt. The reliability issues seem to be present only on some models. I have read owner reviews, and the vast majority of them report very few problems. And based on design and performance I think it's way above the others.

The Odyssey would be second because it is a relatively performance-oriented minivan, and has a lot of neat and useful features.

The Sienna would be last because I'm not too fond of how the design is aging, for one, and it is supposed to be a rather dull minivan in personality.

Long time no see.

And "the majority of owners reporting few problems" is a terrible, terrible record for a car that's no more than two years old. IIRC, a year-old Quest was having 51 problems per 100 vehicles, which was still one of the worst records among other cars that age.

A new car shouldn't have ANY problems for some time, any problem at all is an anamoly for the average car. And the Quest has had very many problems.

I am IFCAR and I approve this message. --------- The Quest seems too weird to me, in an art deco kind of way. Also, the materials are kinda cheap.

The Sienna at the auto show was looking awfully beat up after several thousand people went in and out of it. It looked like it was a minivan that wasn't designed for actually carrying people and cargo.

That leaves me with the Odyssey. It's too expensive, but I think it's great. I wouldn't mind driving that mom mobile...ok, maybe I would, but it's still the best.

I don't get it, you added the nissan quest, but didn't add the arguably better Chrysler Town and Country? Please explain your logic in that decision.

Honda, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan.

I agree, the Chrysler minivans definitely are better than the Nissan Quest. However, I think I'd still put the Sienna ahead of the Chrysler, mostly because of powertrain and interior.

To tell you the truth I wouldn't even consider the Quest. It appears to be a good vehicle on paper, but it was very poorly executed in actual design. Nissan had kids fresh out of college design the interior, and it turned out to be terrible - probably the worst on the market. And as ifcar mentioned, reliability has been poor as well, which is not very promising considering its a brand new vehicle.
Which van do u think is the better one? why? Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, or Nissan Quest

200)?200:this.scrollHeight); overflow: hidden;"> sunny --------- Honda,Toyota,and then Nissan... --------- Reliability wise: Honda, Toyota, Nissan.
Price wise: Nissan, Toyota, Honda.
Drivability %26 comfort: Toyota, Honda, Nissan.
Resale value: Honda, Toyota, Nissan.
Roominess: Nissan, Honda, Toyota.
Horse Power: Nissan, Honda, Toyota.

Are there any other categories that I missed that would be important to who is considering buying?

Consumer Reports would disagree, they said that the current Odyssey's reliability is only "average". They said that the Sienna was "very good". What's your source?

Horse Power: Nissan, Honda, Toyota.
Odyssey has more horsepower than Quest.
