Minivan - Toyota or Kia

7.5 years, 125k miles, still runs great. Routine maintenance, tires & brakes only.

Thanks to all - Will look at the Pacifica, too. I hate the look of the Kia (so boxy) and now to hear about the seats! no way - I am in that stupid van for HOURS and many many MILES eveyr week.

We have a 2016 Sienna that we love. It was more expensive than the Sedona, but actually has a lower lifetime cost because of better gas mileage and general reliability. We chose it over the Pacifica because the ride is sooo much better, and we love the ease of the 8th seat. (Plus, I will never buy an American car. #sorrynotsorry). Good luck!

we have a 2007 toyota sienna with 130k--it never has any problems and we don't do the recommended maintenance, just oil changes.

I’m on my second Odyssey (it’s a 2014 too) and have had no issues with either one.

Any car can be a “lemon.”

We have a Pacifica and love it. We've owned chrysler's for years with no problems.
