Need to pull the trigger and purchase a minivan. Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey are the top contenders. Which should I get? I like the fuel economy of a hybrid but also like the power of the non-hybrid Odyssey. I’m having analysis paralysis comparing the two.

Had two odysseys, ex-wife still has the last one and ragged it out. They like to drink the gas but got the power and dependable.. Replaced a timing belt on it and before that she drove it for a while with the tensioner shot and the belt slack and it tapping for months. So, I would say they can take a lot of abuse.

I just got a Kia Carnival and like it a lot. Drives nice, lots of room, good features especially on the higher models, and a good price compared to the other two.

I found it to have better leg room than the Honda and Toyota in the third row. The trunk area was larger also. The whole thing is about as long as my Palisade, if not longer.

I think the Kia has best safety ratings for 2025. And can probably dicker the best with the Kia or Honda.

I have the Odyssey Touring and we love it. Super convenient and comfortable. I have 3 kids under 3 fwiw so 3 car seats.

I didn’t know they made a minivan but just checked out some reviews and the Carnival is a great option.

They call it an MPV now (multi-passenger vehicle). I still call it a minivan

Would love to get insight from folks here as I’m not quite sure what to do. I currently have around 14K in student loan debt and enough saved up to pay it off in one fell swoop. What I’m struggling with is whether I should invest that money into the stock market (thinking less risky S&P 500 ETF) and pay off my student loans monthly with the average payment being around 1000 so I can pay it off in about 16-18 months (due to interest being around 5%) or pay it off all in one go?

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL.

Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?
