Great car, but a few things that drive me CRAZY!
My husband and I purchased the XLE last year and so far, I have to say it has been a great vehicle. Our last van was a Town and Country, which we bought after being dazzled by all of the bells and whistles and thought we were getting such a great deal because the price was so inexpensive (relative to the Sienna/Odyssey). We found out about 6 months after we bought it why it was so cheap when things started breaking and falling apart. The Sienna has done a great job of standing up to my three kids and we've already taken it on three (very long!!) car trips and had no trouble with it. My only complaints are so minor that they wouldn't keep me from buying another Sienna, but they are annoying, nonetheless! 1.) The gas light and gauge are positioned right behind the steering wheel over in the right hand corner. It makes no *ding* or alert sound when you are low, and you can't see the light when it comes on, so (being the absent-minded person that I am) I have come dangerously close to running out of gas on several occasions. 2.) The head lights are not automatic. Even my 1997 Explorer had automatic head lights! 3.) There are 2 USB ports and ONE cigarette lighter socket, all three of which are up at the front in a less-than-optimal location way down near the floor. Other vans we looked at had multiple outlets throughout the cabin area. That would have been really nice when my 4-year-old is getting fussy on long trips and the iPad is dead. :) Like I said, the good out weighs the bad and it has been a really solid and reliable car for our family.

6th Toyota I have owned
I love my Yota's they last and they work! I have had two Supras 3 4Runners and now a Sienna. We have had the van about a month and we love it! i have 3 kids and it works way better for the 3 of them than the 4Runner did. I loved my Runner but it didn't have the room inside. We have the oldest in the back because she can buckle and unbuckle her seat. We have the middle seat in the back stowed in the attic of the house, so we can use the extra space in the back. We have the two younger children in the bucket seats in the back for easily getting them in and out. The 2 and 4 year old love that they can climb into and out of the car without help. Power doors are better than sliced bread! That Runner was a 4x4 and took help to get in and out. I really like the van, it has great power to get up and go! we got the XLE so we could have more power options like Lift gate, and the Tow package. I added a hitch and it was easy to install. Only cons I can see so far. is the paint seams thin like it needs an extra clear coat or two. Van looks great however in Black. I get a very slight rattle from my sliding doors but the Dealer is looking into this and will fix it. We did buy the 7year/100K bumper to Bumper since it has all the fancy power options.

very impressed
i have never been much of a car dealership person but I have to admit coleman gmc has impressed me. I went to a few other dealers first and they were no where near as clean and friendly as this dealers. I really was impressed with all aspects of this dealer. The cars are well set up and spotless. I got a very fair deal on a slightly preowned car at a awesome intrest rate.

New purchased.
We have owned this car for a little over a month, so far we are very pleased with the Sienna. Our previous van was a Honda, while we were very please with it, we are even more please with the Sienna. The Sienna is a little pricier than the Honda. Since we have only owned this vehicle for a short time, gave four stars for value and reliability......too early to tell. Based on Toyota's reputation, I suspect I could rate this as 5 stars in the future.

We laugh at SUV's
My wife and I are on our 2nd Toyota Sienna Limited. We love to laugh at large SUv's (mainly Tahoe's and the like) as the kids (if they fit) are jammed in the back seat. It's also funny to see all of their stuff in the roof top carrier or on a hitch mounted device. The Sienna will swallow 7 people in Lexus like comfort and everyone's stuff will still fit behind a reclined 3rd row seat. It will do all of this while getting 20 mpg. If you have a family of 4 or more and you don't look at a Luxury Minivan like the Sienna Limited you are doing yourself a diservice.

Perfect for what it is
It's a mini-van. If you don't' like them, nothing I write will convince you. But value for the money is hard to beat. Cheaper to buy than SUV's, better gas mileage than any large SUV. More space than any large SUV. and has higher resale value than any large SUV. Why would you ever buy a large SUV (suburban or expedition)? It handles SLIGHTLY better than a suburban, but no where near a Ferrari. It's a darn van folks.
