Honda Car Forum

I personally like the Odyssey EX, but my mom really thinks we should get an AWD vehicle since we live in western PA, and it snows or at least a leather car if it is the same price. The thing is, Toyota Sienna LE AWD is so hard to find though. So, I need an opinion, on which we should get. And why is it so hard to find a Sienna LE AWD?

Can't find them because no one gets rid of them. Go with AWD.(probably have to order it from the dealer and get put on a list.)

I like the Odyssey betterBut I will probably go with a AWD SiennaI live in Minnesota and an AWD is perfect, besides the Sienna is a pretty good van too, way better than those dodge

Unfortunately AWD minivans are a dying breed, but excellent machines. They affect companies' CAFE, corporate average fuel economy , and they only have a niche in the snow belts so they are an expensive option that means that box doesn't get marked when most people are ordering them. Many people have their SUV for wondering about in the snow so they try to save money on the new vehicle. I would recommend the AWD Sienna if you can find one. If you are forced to choose between the 2wd versions I would recommend the Odyssey because it is more satisfying to drive and it's reliability has not been tarnished by recalls like the Toyota marque in recent years.

well my moms owns a 04 odyssey ex& we live here in indiana the fwd odyssey is not bad at all in the snow because they come equipt with Traction controli drove it in the snow n it doesnt get stuck trust me i tryed lol but if ur mom really wants a awd get the toyo but i would also recomende a SUV like the CRV,Pilot,Highlander,etc......'So my opinion would b the hondabut then again if u dont need allthat space u can also get a Subaru Wrx wagon or 4door sedan mitsubishi evo,suzuki etc....'thers lots of options out there besides minivanbest bet would b a suv that wayu have both 2wd & 4wd
