I like that it seats 7 people, I haul a popup trailer installed a hitch myself because of the easy mounting Toyota had and it has what it needs to haul 3500 pounds
My previous van got 15 mpg with the Sienna I am getting over 20 mpg all time and 24 on highway
I have heard (and read) good things about the Toyota. I went to the dealer expecting the van to feel cramped, overpriced and dealer unwilling to negotiate. The last time I looked at Toyota (20 years ago) a dealer asked how much over retail I would pay.
There were many things that were not standard in other cars I had bought like CD changer, roof rack, rear climate controls, AUX input jack, express down windows on driver and passenger, garage door opener
at the time they offered o% finance for 3 years. Plus when I expressed an interest in a van they came with a good price first. We were within $700 of my low target price. I came up a $100 and we had a deal.
