I have the CE which does not have adjustable lumbar support or 8-way adjustments. The seat has a fixed height, which is a bit too high for me. Also the seat is a bit too deep. see full Toyota Sienna review |

At $35,000 I think it could be much better. Hurts more than my Tacoma 4X4 after a long drive. see full Toyota Sienna review |
