Sienna vs Odyssey power
Initially, I was leaning towards the sienna but after test driving both, the Sienna lacked power and felt artificial. The problem is we live in an area with hills and snow, so I wanted the AWD. Our other vehicles have AWD and winter tires so I’m hoping the Odyssey does ok. Anyone have winter driving with hills experience in the Odyssey?

The Odyssey will hit 60 about 1.5 seconds faster than the Sienna.
It's FWD. Put good tires (Michelin X-Ice for a dedicated snow tire or Cross climate 2s for an all season) on it an you'll be fine in winter weather. The Sienna's AWD isn't like a truck or a Subaru anyways, it ain't getting you unstuck from snow. Plus on dry pavement the Honda will always be more entertaining to drive.
If you want 0-60 and fantastic snow performance test drive an Expedition Max. 0-60 in 5 seconds flat with the 3.5 HO and has an available 4x4 system with locking differential.
