Used 2008 Toyota Sienna XLE for Sale near North Cowichan, BC

I would recommend this van to any family. You can't beat all the safety features and the reliability of a Toyota. As with any front wheel drive minivan, really watch your tire rotations as they tend to chew through the front tires with all the weight, power, and steering being on the same axle. Would buy one again. The transmission is solid but with so many speeds it always seems to be searching for the right gear...never had a problem with it, it's just kind of annoying.

I like everything about this car. I wanted the option of sliding the middle row seats together, so the car seat wasn't right next to the door. The 3rd room is a split row, so you can put either side down or both, which is awesome. There are more cup holders than seats.

PROS I'm a new dad & Minivan w/ the convenience package is awesome. Power slide doors + lift gate. Loading the baby seat is so much easier than having a sedan. Backup camera almost seems like a must. being able to control back climate is awesome! Whether on freeway or surface roads, the ride comfort is great. Generally quiet and very smooth. I've test driven the 2008 odyssey EX-L I felt that the sienna had a smoother ride. Among the 2008 minivan designs, the car looks more luxurious. I would say that the exterior design of the odyssey looks more complete, however odyssey interior is tacky startrek like. the interior of the sienna is not spectacular but just better than what i've seen in other cars. Having a minivan with that much space is awesome. Fit full grill (gift for dad) + stroller & pack & play and our own bags for a weekend trip.... easy. CONS The handling could be much better. I think they lose on the stability by trying to have more ride comfort. You can feel the sway on corners. The turn radius is no problem, I can make a U-turn anywhere my camry can. But you just feel like you have so much less control. I believe the hondas have better stability on corners. Going up hill the new bigger engine sounds like a truck engine. Some what loud. When cruising, it's quiet. I think the brakes could be better. It's one of those, they're not bad and I don't think of them too much, but they don't impress me at all and sometimes I wish they were better. Price: the CE & LE models are well priced. But XLE & Limited are way more expensive. It makes sense though for a reliable and well built car. i dropped a pretty penny for my 2008 Limited.

Great familar car allowing carrying many kis + shopping Can add bicycles and any other large equipment Good power on road and very good comfort Maybe a bit noisy when on highway Otherwise excellent and safe car To recommend for anyone
