Least favorite feature:
lack of road feel
Advice to buyer:
Difficult to find a perfect vehicle. Sienna is probably the best minivan on the road. If you can affort it buy it.
Detailed review:
3.3V6 Engine is superb but city mpg is not impressive (13-14 mpg). Handling can be funny when pushed hard. My XLE is equipped with the VSC (stability control) that temporarily takes control of the vehicle in near-adverse situations leaving the driver in the dark what was going on. Highway cruising is excellent with a Lexus driving feel. There is almost complete lack of steering feel - becasue it is too soft and isolated.
