Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	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

2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	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

2006	4dr SUV turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	This is honesty the only complaint i have about the 2006 XT. The rear seat is a bit tight. We took three other adults on about a 4 hour trip and it was a tight fit - good thing we're good friends! My wife's 2009 Forester is much better in the rear legroom department. see full Subaru Forester review
2005	4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Rear seat is just too small, but that has been fixed for the 2009 models. The front seat, actually the cabin of the car is just a bit too narrow. It needs more elbow room. see full Subaru Forester review
2005	4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Not enough elbow room. see full Subaru Forester review
