Odyssey vs Pacifica

[Anonymous]

I want the Honda, dh wants the Pacifica for the second row stow. I’m worried about Pacifica’s transmission problems. We will also have an outback. This will be our road trip car (east coast trips.). Two kids 2 and 4. Appreciate any advice especially btdt.

The Pacifica has Chrysler reliability and build quality

LOL! So basically OP, go with the Odyssey. Friends of ours had numerous problems with their Pacifica (including needing to replace the transmission after 3 years). They finally got sick of it and got rid of it.

Odyssey. It’s not a competition. There’s more competition between odyssey and sienna

This. I just bought a hybrid Sienna and love it... if you're looking for a third option.

We have a 2017 Pacifica and have had 0 issues. There are lemon Odyssey's too.

Me too. Love the fuel efficiency of the Toyota.

I was excited to check these out until I saw how much less cargo space they have compared to my 2018. Something like 50 cubic feet. But still probably the best option, especially if you do a lot of winter driving.

I understand that’s due to battery storage which makes sense.

Right but no one is driving a Pacifica past 10 years, whereas Odysseys can stay on the road for MANY more years after that. Or you can sell them for a decent price, whereas the Pacifica is scrap metal.

This. And the Odyssey/Sienna debate is more like "flip a coin and you'll be happy".

We had our other Chrysler minivan for 18 years, and it still ran well. We love the Pacifica as well.

There are, but statistically you are much more likely to encounter problems with Chryslers than just about any other manufacturer

It's a minivan so whichever you get you'll have given up on life either way
