The Hyundai Entourage/Kia Sedona twins ( see my Entourage review ), in some ways, offer more for less money, and have a far better warranty, than either the Sienna or Odyssey, though their powertrain and road manners are not quite as efficient or refined.
I'm not saying necessarily buy one, but at least go check them out before you plunk down the extra cash for an Odyssey or Sienna. I think you will be impressed at the quality and fit-and-finish they offer for the money.

A year ago, my mom T- boned an Armored truck at 50- 60mph. Yes, I said 50-60mph and an Armored truck(you know the box trucks that carry money). She ran a red light and SMACK, the front of her mini-van hit the side of the truck dead on. The front of her mini-van looked completely flat. As if there was never an engine. She unbuckled her seatbelt and walked away. Not a single scratch on her
Oh and my 110 lb yellow lab was in the back sitting on the 2nd row seats, he landed up front. He was completly fine, just won't ever get in the car with my mom again.
What was she driving??? A 2005 Toyota Sienna. If the safety of you and your family are important. This is a no brainer on which to pick.
Oh and the armored truck had a slight dent on it. My mom said the guys in the truck came jumping out the back with shotguns, thinking they were getting robbed.

I think your Mom should get an Odyssey - betcha the dog would start driving with her again.

Sienna looks good slammed also.
This a chop, don't mind the wheels, it was a quick chop. Sorry for the large picture.
I'm going along a similar route, got the 07 quest and I'm having a tough time deciding on wheels.
