EARTHY CAR OF THE WEEK: 2008 Toyota Sienna


2008 Toyota Sienna LE, Minivan, Grey, 53802 mi, $18,900 $17,900 http://bit.ly/ij5uGF 5-spd automatic, MPG = 17/23


The Toyota Sienna is one of the ideal vehicles for families with multiple children.  It can seat 7-8 passengers and has lots of cargo space.  It has the ability to transport several kids, to school, sports games, or Boy/Girl Scouts meetings.




This Sienna is not that old (2008).  It has only 53,000+ miles put on it.  It is part of our huge sale – it is now priced $1000 less.




This Sienna is part of the LE trim. LE has all the features of the most basic trim, but more.  However, it is not one of the luxury trims.  This is the most popular trim.


If you are “soccer mom” (or soccer dad), and you are currently driving a smaller car, consider  this vehicle.

EXPERT REVIEWS:
“The Toyota Sienna remains one of the smartest transportation choices an active family can make. Minivans offer more interior room relative to exterior length than any other type of vehicle, and the Sienna is arguably the best of the breed.”  
“Inside, the Sienna is big and roomy, but it doesn't drive bulky, and it's not hard to park. It's smooth, responsive and quiet, and it's more fuel-efficient than an SUV with comparable space for people and things. In just minutes, the Sienna switches from eight-passenger bus to cavernous cargo hauler, with room for full sheets of plywood, 10-foot ladders, or significantly more of anything else than you can put in most full-size sport utilities. With a standard 3500-pound towing capacity, the Sienna will pull a camper or small watercraft.” 
“Even the [basic] CE ($24,340) comes with nearly all the essentials, including dual-zone (front and rear) air conditioning; power windows, door locks and mirrors; sliding doors on both sides; keyless entry; and AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers and an auxiliary jack for MP3 players. The upholstery is a vinyl/fabric combo, and the wheels are 16-inch steel with hubcaps. Second-row captain's chairs and a 60/40 Split & Stow third-row bench seat are standard.” 
“Sienna LE ($25,865) is the most popular model. It adds nicer cloth fabric, audio controls on the steering wheel, a 6CD changer, cruise control, heated mirrors, a roof rack, privacy glass, illuminated vanity mirrors, an engine immobilizer, a fold-flat front passenger seat, and other features.”  
“The Sienna was developed expressly for the United States, and it's a very American vehicle, regardless of what its brand name might suggest. It was designed in Southern California and engineered in Ann Arbor, Michigan; and it's built in Princeton, Indiana.”  
“If we were choosing one vehicle to fill every transportation role for a large or growing family, it might be a Toyota Sienna. The Sienna is one of the most appealing minivans available. It's among the most powerful yet it's reasonably economical. It's comfortable, responsive and roomy, with flexible seating options and the capability to tow a camper or pick up a big-screen TV.
USER REVIEWS:


“I traded my 98 Pontiac Transport for the 2008 Sienna this Summer. Took a trip to Vermont from Kentucky in October with some 2700 miles and averaged 22 miles per gallon. The Sienna is very stable, handles well and rides very good. The vision is great from the front seats. The transmission is smooth and excelleration is outstanding.” --MILLERJDON
