2005 Toyota Sienna New Car Buyer's Guide

What's New for the 2005 Toyota Sienna?
All new from the ground up last year, the 2005 Toyota Sienna receives only a power passenger's seat for XLE and Limited models.

Advantages of the 2005 Toyota Sienna:

• Large and comfortable interior
• Powerful engine
• Available all-wheel-drive
• State-of-the-art minivan design
• Optional three-row curtain airbags and stability control
• Incredible array of luxury and convenience features on upper trim levels

Objections to the 2005 Toyota Sienna:

• Massive price escalation when equipment is ladled on

Editor's Advice:
Last year, we called the Toyota Sienna "the ultimate family vehicle." From the decently equipped CE to the positively luxurious XLE Limited, the 2005 Toyota Sienna oozes competence. Fully loaded, it could easily wear a Lexus badge on the grille. Contemporary and attractive from any angle that hides the bulbous front end, the Sienna makes an excellent choice for a minivan. However, with the arrival of the redesigned Honda Odyssey, we can no longer call the Sienna the ultimate vehicle of its ilk.
