Be aware of the disadvantages of run flat tires and lack of options for snow tires
Detailed review:
As a current owner of a 2003 Honda Odyssey EX, I find the new Sienna very competitive.
I would buy an AWD model if I could get it with 16' regular radials and a temporary spare. The run flat tires cost $270 each for replacement at the dealership, it takes special equipment to remove run flats from the rim (I can't find a Toyota dealer that is set up to do this right now), run flat tires are not in stock yet by the dealer, there is not a tire manufacturer that offers a run flat snow tire. Why can't you order this AWD van with 16' regular radials with a temporary spare to stow either inside or on the luggage rack? Nobody at Toyota can tell me. I guess I will have to wait for an AWD Honda Odyssey (possibly next year).
