2004 Toyota Sienna LE AWD review from North America

Sliding Doors Act Odd Sometimes.

Couple recalls dealt with.

Waiting for Run-flat replacement time $$$$$

This car has been a great family vehicle. Our first minivan and we were not sure how we'd like it. Plenty of room for people and all the extra STUFF your wife makes you bring along when you have kids. The AWD performs great. The van is better in the snow than my 4x4 Pathfinder. We tow a larger size pop-up camper with no problem at all. The van keeps up speed on the highway even with the extra load. We do mostly highway driving and average 22-23 mpg overall. The side sliding door which operates manually does not always latch in the open position. This is a pain when parked on a decline and you want the door to stay open. Wish we sprung for the built in DVD player. Would be nice on long drives with little kids. Have heard horror stories about the run flat tires, but (knock on wood) so far we have had good luck with the Bridgestone run flats. We're at 25K miles and still plenty of tread left. If we crack 30k I'll be satisfied given the problems others have had.
