Used Cars: honda vs toyota, fuel mileage, xle

Question
Hi  what would you recommend an 03 odyssey xle nav with 26000 miles or an 04 sienna le awd with 22000 miles the sinna is around $1300 more    Thanks  

Answer
Both are excellent choices and you really couldn't go wrong with either... It comes down to the extra money (the mileage is too close to worry about) and the AWD... if you live up north where it snows or somewhere where it rains alot and you want the added traction of AWD (good if you are very safety conscious).. the extra cash may be worth it - it will keep you less likely to spin out of control in those poor conditions... otherwise... if those situations dont apply or you are confident in your driving ability.. you dont NEED the awd thus the odyssey would be just fine and you'll save some cash (AWD = higher maintenance, poorer fuel mileage).  The choice is yours, both should be about equal in quality and reliability... so it comes down to your driving conditions... good luck!
