Toyota Sienna offers safe, comfortable ride - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Toyota's Sienna is a fine people and cargo hauler that also offers all-wheel drive, making it perfect for wintry Wisconsin. My test van was a handsome Sky Blue Pearl, a silvery blue, Sienna XLE Premium with AWD. The split bench in back will seat three and folds neatly down into the van's cavernous cargo area to create a flat floor. Lower both seats and then fold the two center seats, and you've got 150 cubic feet of cargo area, much larger than a pickup's bed. This model features a power hatch, so with the push of a button on the key fob or dash, the hatch powers up, or down. The test van was loaded with options, including a 16. 4-inch fold-down screen for the rear seats' occupants. Up front there are dual climate controls and heated front seats that allow a wide range of control, not just two or three settings. Other pluses include a power sunroof, well laid out dash and easy-to-use touchscreen for the radio and navigation systems. The trip computer is digital between the main dash gauges, and there are big buttons and knobs on the center stack that are within quick reach and are well labeled. It sticks up fairly close to the steering wheel and I found myself hitting it when I reached for the windshield wiper lever that's to the wheel's right. Source: www.jsonline.com
