Radio position - Sienna compensates with steering wheel radio controls.
Advice to buyer:
Drive them all and you'll most likely agree that this is the one
Detailed review:
The Toyota Sienna was the fifth mini-van that I test drove and it was by far the smoothest ride. The ride was extremely comfortable and the steering very responsive. The almost 200hp engine was a surprise because that was not what drew me to this vehicle at first. I have the 5-door model and it is a very convenient feature. I love the stereo controls on the steering wheel due to the fact that the radio itself is almost out of reach while driving. It was fitting that the Sienna was the last of the mini-vans I test drove because as soon as I got it out on the road I knew it was the one I was going to purchase.
I was really surprised to hear that the Sienna and the Camry come off the same production line. To me that signifies that the Sienna engine is road tested and reliable much like the Toyota Camry. The seats in the Sienna are a pleasure to remove and the console middle row seats leave a ton of room in the back right behind the drivers seat. Another important issue for me when I researched the Sienna was safety. My wife and son are the main reason I am purchasing the vehicle so I was pleased at the safety reports on the Sienna. I am overall very happy with my Toyota Sienna purchase.
