I have never had any such experience (except styling, which is subjective, and I can partially agree with you about because I don’t like the styling of almost any new cars). I just put a timing belt on a 2002 Sienna for a neighbor. It is the hand me down kid car that she replaced with a 2018 Sienna. The 2002 has over >350,000 miles. Original engine, original transmission, starts and drives like new. Her 2018 has almost 50,000 on it now and runs like a top. I have serviced tons of cars and trucks in all makes and models and the Toyota and Honda models have always been the longest lasting and least troublesome. That’s why I own three Toyotas, the lowest mileage of which is >155,000 miles, the highest is >240,000. It sounds like the one you saw had aftermarket tint (factory tint is incorporated into the glass) and must have been dropped off the car carrier.

I’m currently in the market now and love the Pacifica plug in hybrid. I was considering it until finding out about the fire hazard recall that Chrysler still doesn’t have a fix for along with the price to change out the hybrid battery pack. The lifespan of the packs are 2-4 years and supposedly over $12k to replace. It’d be hard for me personally to own one knowing that I’d have to spend that much on a new pack even once or twice over its life cycle. Now I’m leaning towards the Sienna bc of the hybrid. The odyssey needs to catch up and offer a plug in or at a minimum a hybrid,maybe offer AWD.
