I prefer the Honda styling , MPG's & overall standard features

Rattle rattle rattle

instructor 101: get rid of whatever is making the banging noise. I quit watching.

F150 all the way, Ram was a fricken disappointment

I am surprised the sound levels were similar in the interior. One of the advantages of the Platinum Sienna you reviewed is acoustic glass that is supposed to make it quieter versus lower trim siennas - so how loud are the SE/XLE/XSE lower trim levels? thanks for the review!

Great comparison review. I took ownership of a 2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy (Serenity White metallic with Gray interior) 2 days ago. I’m loving the vehicle so far - it gets a lot of looks too! Just a quick note: only the left pad is a wireless charging pad on the Limited model you reviewed. Only the top Calligraphy model comes with the dual wireless charging pads.

The wheels on the rav 4 in your video look identical to my 2025 crv hybrid wheels. (With exception to the Toyota emblem in the middle)

It's my first time owning a RAV4 hybrid and "I love it" this is my 2nd RAV4 and I would not trade it to anything else. I'm glad I made the right choice owning a RAV4 hybrid XSE

Rav 4 seat goes back further for leg room. In my experience

I like both and was hoping to hear bad news for one of them, to choose the other one. 😂😂 Nope, I'm still undecided. I'm going to have to test drive both. I owed a 2004 Rav4 that just got flooded. 😢 Man, I loved my little "Lucy". I want a new one, but yes, totally agree with you about Rav4 feel a little rugged while driving. Let's see if the Honda impresses me. Wish me luck!

u cant compare this 2 cars...civic is another class. interior and performance

I notice you drive wth the seat shoulder belt under your arm...why is that? is that a new safety method?

I wanna see a comparison between the Jeep GC: Summit Reserve and a topped out Explorer. You’ll really see the Jeep shine with that one.

THE ST DOES HAVE A SPARE TIRE!!

The Accord is an amazing daily driver. What a great ride and peaceful interior. Love mine.

If you enjoy driving at all get the Honda. The Toyota RAV4?is one of the least refined worst driving cars I have ever driven. The Mazda CX5 is better than these two cars to be honest. The seats suck in all three so don’t expect luxury.

Tesla owners may (or may not) be surprised to know that their range takes a big hit if they frequently take advantage of quick starts and rapid changes. I'm not sure how many pay as much attention to that, as they would to mpg in the CR-V. I point it out because the CR-V (more so than the RAV4) really is an EV. Not a Battery EV like the Tesla, but a Battery+Generator EV. Except when cruising on the highway, it is propelled exclusively by an electric motor which is powered by the generator and the battery. My point is that the EV operation means it takes the same hit for quick starts. Honda's response to that, since it is an economy-minded vehicle, is to actually build a lag into quick starts. You can get rid of them by changing to SPORT mode, but that can drop mpg. I'm not saying it will become like a sports car, but you will get better acceleration if you choose it. You just need to be attentive to "squeeze" the gas pedal, instead of stomping on it, when you don't need EV-like response. In my Accord Hybrid - 2018, so I can't configure these drive modes - I will switch temporarily to SPORT if I anticipate the need. Like on the ramp to a busy freeway.

No spare tire, old infotainment and non-locking gas door is a fail for the CRV for me.

You forgot to mention that the rear seats in the CRV recline and the back door opens 90 degrees for better access to the back seat.

I drove a Rav4 and then popped straight into a CRV 10 min later. There was no comparison in overall feel, fit and finish. The CRV made the Rav4 seem cheap even though they are almost exactly the same price in Canada. I am not sure why so many see the lack of spare a deal breaker. In 50 years of driving I have had exactly one flat and that one could have been handled with a flat fixer kit. Maybe the roads in Canada are better than in the US.

I would definitely choose Sienna. 36 mpg vs 22 mpg is no brainer.

Locking gas door is on every Toyota I have ever seen or drove. So I don't think Toyota will ever change it.

I looked at both, but ended up buying the Accord. I don't care about Leather and the smaller screen doesn't bother me. The Civic are definitely more in demand. I got a slightly used 2024 Accord with 7K miles for over $6K off MSRP and $3K less than the equivalent Civic. The one thing I admit not being a fan of are seat comfort for both cars. I rented a Nissan Altima earlier and they had some amazing seats.

Toyota Australia is cheating customers on map upgrades. I bought my RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid in 2021. My average annual mileage is around 10,000 km. Given the low mileage there is no great rush on my part to do the annual service which I normally do within a month from each anniversary date. During the service I have the free map upgrade (customers are entitled for 3 map upgrades free). However on my 3rd anniversary service, Toyota refused to give me the 3rd free map upgrade. After a couple of lengthy discussions with Toyota Customer Service I was told that I am not entitled for the 3rd free map upgrade as I have gone pass the 3rd anniversary date by a few weeks. This is gross cheating. Shame on Toyota Australia.

The Santa Fe has the style and flash, but the Pilot is the better made vehicle and NOBODY makes better engines than Honda. Twenty years from now, the Pilot will still be on the road. I doubt the same will be said for the Santa Fe.

You didn't cover one of the most important features of the odyssey... The Magic Slide second row! This is why ppl with kids get this van. You really got a lot wrong with this review. First of all don't compare a 3 yr old top of the line to a brand new basic model. Then make sure you get your facts right before you review. This was a pretty awful excuse of a review. Using floaty for an adjective to describe how the sienna drives? We love our odyssey but you didn't do it justice.

I like the review but no seat belt on. 🥴

Great review, just wish you could get same trim levels to review.

The honda cr v feels and ride like a mercedes toyota dosen’t have that feel.

I've test driven both, but my final decision goes to the RAV4, as the CR-V has only the GDI engine & the RAV4 has the GDI AND Port Injection engine. The difference IS that the RAV4 port injection cleans the engine valves & the CR-4 does not. It will be more prone to carbon build-up which is NOT covered by the warranty. The other major factor is the availability of the spare & extra storage space under the rear cargo area of the RAV4. Although the CR-V is more refined & elegant, & has the electric passenger seats, the RAV4 is way more practical & dependable.

Accord Win!!!

Aug 2024. Still no Sienna's on dealer lots in my area. The few dealers that do have them, are asking for an additional $5k-15k market adjustment. Lol!😂 I purchased a Odyssey.

Honda is always the top notch. More expensive but if you dirve them both you just see the difference

Kia Carnival Win!

Love my new Sienna!

you must absolutely add following options to the odyssey: awd. pano-roof. 360-cam. timing chain. (no timing belt get rid of it) slow-traffic follow feature. built-in vacuum cleaner must be returned to the car. light-off-roading pack option. (with high clearance and some other off-roading features) also needed a additional extra front and other lights females have trouble to see at night (in comparison to men this is biology thing) and vans are driven by many females.

Instead of having so many cup ho,ders and empty bulky srorage in between the two front seat , Sienna should have a fridge there !

Sienna looks bulky , both back and front ! The rear lights looks ugly !

12:56 you can change the background to all black under settings. It’s easier to see with a dark background.

The grocery getter? I use my Sienna to haul heavy loads, landscaping material, moving furniture...you are not giving it the respect it deserves.

Sir I just noticed the background light on all your videos are way too bright!

i feel the grand highlander is more luxourious

The calligraphy version should have been in this video. Same price but much nicer.

So lets see Honda 75 db and you call it quiet? Toyota is 70db and you call it noisy?

If you want sporty drive XSE instead of Limited.

You can't advertise the review of 2024 but actually review 2021. Also, 2024 will have a lot of changes that you might not obviously see because Toyota always updates something every year.

Great vid but what’s up with the lighting? It’s way too bright it’s hard to watch

The downside for the CRV is the lack of a spare tire. We liked the CRV more but ended up buying the RAV4 because the RAV4 has a spot for the spare tire

Excellent review. I came from a Ford F150 eco-boost 3.5 traded for a ram 1500 5.7 off-road package all black appearance package Ownership of the ram six years Zero issues with it. I went test drove the new Fords. I just wanted some different so I went with the Silverado, RST with the Duramax so far I am enjoying that mileage, 28 Highway . All of the manufactures make very nice trucks

I just bought a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Overland loaded with the 5.7 HEMI V8!!! I'll be doing some videos on my channel with my modifications, yes...... I can NEVER leave sh1t alone!!! Ha! 🏁🏁🏁🏁
