Do you need to install car seats? Some of the seats are narrower and can't accommodate three across or don't have upper tethers.

I just bought a 2013 sienna with 8 seats. The front row dis not have upper tethers for car seats but we were able to fit three across anyway using the seatbelts.

How car seats fit depends on which year you get.

I don't know much about the sienna, I just know our dealer and my friend's husband who's a dealer recommended the odyssey. I got the 2018 odyssey and I love it. It feels like a luxury car. Beautiful and spacious interior, smooth drive, excellent features. If the price is in your range I feel that you just can't go wrong.

We have a Sienna. We needed a car fast and at the time all the dealers had were Siennas so we bought one. If you are in Brooklyn/Lakewood call Mr. Minivan or Lakewood Auto. They mainly have Siennas (or at least they did when we were looking)

I love our sienna. Very spacious, fits eight passengers, and a very smooth ride.

2013 90k miles $14200. It was not a.great deal. If you shop around you can find a little better. We just bought it a few months ago and so far so good.

Middle seat in newer Siennas (after 2010) is narrower than the one in the current Odysseys so it doesn't fit 3 across as well.
