I own a 2000 Toyota Sienna, which I bought in 2001. This has been the most dependable, comfortable vehicle I own and has become my "go-to" vehicle. The gas mileage is great for a mini-van, which can save a lot of money versus the similar-in-size SUVs. There are several interior features, which I appreciate, including the cruise control, the tape deck/CD player and speakers, the great air conditioning (which I haven't had to recharge the entire time I've owned it), among other things. The seats are stylish and comfortable. One of the back doors opens automatically with the push of a button. The trunk is spacious and the rack on the roof has been used several times during family trips. The only cons I have are that I wish that both back doors were automatic, and it would have been nice if the windows rolled down allowing more air flow. I would really like if the seats were easier to remove and I would have liked a longer, bench-type seat across the middle of the vehicle instead of the 2 bucket seats I have. The process to get to the spare tire could be made a little more simple. And, I would have loved a DVD player built into the car as well. Other than that, I would highly recommend the 2000 Toyota Sienna.

We decided to purchase this vehicle when we were pregnant with our second child. I prefer the van to something like an SUV because it has the same amount of space, but it's easier to maneuver within the car and it's closer to the ground. I especially like the dual climate control options so that we are not fighting about the temperature in the car. I do wish we could change the air speed between the passenger and driver sides of the car, though. Also the seat warmers are nice for the cold weather. It stores easily in the back of the car when we are not using it. With Toyota, we know that this is going to be a dependable car. We have owned several Toyotas in the past and have never had any major issues with any of them. This van is the same way. It has around 70,000 miles on it and it still runs like a dream. The transmission switches nicely and the engine runs quietly. Overall, we feel like we can depend on this car and it feels like luxury to us.
