TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2012 Honda Odyssey is the priciest of the minivans, but innovative seating and excellent handling set it apart from all the rest.

It's not as flexible as some minivans, but the 2012 Toyota Sienna is large, safe, and still has options for four-cylinder power and all-wheel drive.

TCC Likes

Great handling
Thoughtful interior touches
Gas mileage of a mid-size sedan

A good-looking minivan
Handling's much improved
Second-row seats slide for more space

TCC Dislikes

Still no Bluetooth on base LX
Pricier than other minivans
Visibility for lane changes

No fold-away second-row seats
No in-car satellite TV or in-car Wifi
V-6 Limited is pricey, maybe too luxurious?
