I got this vehicle used. As a result I was able to afford it. I would never be able to afford this vehicle new. I acquired it for the cargo and passenger space, and because of the AWD. We live in a rural area and the roads are often snowy or icy in the winter. The AWD is a must for us, for convenience as well as safety. So far I have no complaints. I love the cargo space the vehicle has. Even with all seats in place, there is tons of storage space. The passengers are as comfortable as the driver, because there is so much room inside. My two kids don't get anywhere near each other, so it's more relaxing for me on longer trips. We can throw the kids' bikes in the back, behind the seats, and still have room for other items. I find the seats very easy to recline and flatten. With all of the seats removed, the van is almost like a pickup truck. I can haul tons of stuff. In addition, it has a trailer hitch for my bike rack. I feel that the vehicle will be reliable and serve our family well for the next several years. I feel that it is a very safe vehicle. It is sporty looking, for a van, and my husband enjoys driving it. He has some back issues and the van is very comfortable for him to drive. The vehicle hasn't had any significant maintenance issues. We haven't had it very long, however. I got the oil changed and the engine air filter changed at the same time.

I bought my 2007 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited when my wife wrecked our previous 2007 Toyota Sienna LE. We could have easily used the opportunity to buy a different vehicle, but we loved the Sienna platform so much that we just had to find another of the same year. This van has plenty of power and room to fit our growing family, plus it is well engineered for low maintenance. It does have a couple of strange quirks to note, but I think the pros by far outweigh the cons.
