We waited about 18 months for our Sienna XSE. So far absolutely love the utility from getting our daughter dressed inside during a snow storm, to hauling home an ikea wardrobe. Can’t do that in any SUV!

I had the AWD version with 18" wheels... I can imagine the FWD models with 20" wheels are worse! I didn't have an XSE to test drive beforehand, but I had a sienna LE rental and I liked it. I didn't think the XSE would be THAT much stiffer... well, it is folks. Find a way to go for a test drive. the XSE also does not have the acoustic glass or sound deadening, so with the stiffer suspension I feel that it transfers more noise into the cabin. the suspension is just overkill for a minivan.

The Sienna is what I decided on for a family / work (marketing media production) vehicle as well. Originally I wanted the Ford Transit Connect passenger Van but that Tech is even older and the problems mechanically made me start looking.

Love my 2024 XSE Premium , however I’m having a few issues. First issue I’m having is the cordless charger is not charging my phone because of my phone case. Dealership recommended me taking the it out of the phone case. I took it out and now it slides all over the cordless charging port because there’s no rubber surface to prevent it from sliding. We’ve rented a Rivian and Cadillac which both allowed us to charge our phones on the cordless charging station without having to take it out of the case. My next issue is I found out that there is no button for the mirror defoggers. Dealership told me it only works when you use the rear window defoggers. My next issue is the hands free rear hatch and sliding door having issues when I place my foot under the designated area with the key fob in my pocket and the doors unlocked. But overall I am satisfied with the van especially the impressive gas mileage. Just filled my tank after a long trip; set trip A and I recorded almost 700 miles on a tank of gas. We’re filling it and setting trip A again just to make sure that’s accurate. But for the most part very please with this vehicle.
@kevin-lu 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing! I don’t have the wireless charger and since I mostly park in our garage haven’t really looked for the mirror defoggers! This is great information for others interested.

Why did you decide on the XSE trim? Is it a price thing or are there other decided factors that swayed you to a XSE over a Platinum?

I like the looks of the new Toyota van. However, I would love to own the LM Lexus van if it comes to the U.S. If not, I would definitely purchase the Toyota Sienna hybrid or soon to be electric van for a business since I don't need this much space for myself.

😊@stephenfiore9960 yeah that is exactly right. I was looking to custom order my van and called a bunch of dealers who all kept telling me to come and make a deposit and it will probably take 1 year. After researching I found that toyota doesn't do any custom orders. They simply assign dealers allocations of builds at Toyota's choosing. So if you are in the market for something specific and that dealer doesn't get that particular combination of options, they keep waiting until they get something similar. I decided to call a bunch of dealers and left them my preferences withoit making a deposit and a week later, I received a call from an out of state dealer who received an allocation for my exact car I wanted. I made the deposit and expecting the car in 4 weeks.

I'm happy for your new car, bro and congrats but just watch out for the unnecessary service add-ons Toyota dealer will try to get you slowly after your free 2 yrs. maintenance is done. Fake timing chain leak, this leak and that leak - whether oil sip or oil change residue they intentionally didn't clean, they would try to scare you during your normal oil change!
@kevin-lu 3 ай бұрын
I think almost all car dealerships do that kind of stuff. I go in for an oil change and they make it sound like my car is falling apart or asking for air filter changes when I’ve taken care of it myself not too long before.

@kevin-lu 5 ай бұрын
In terms of steering its in a sense stiffer as in I feel more control for things like turns. I actually like it. As for the ride I haven’t driven a platinum as much but the ride itself feels a bit smoother from my test drive.

Great video. I have been trying to decide between a Honda pilot, Toyota sienna or kia carnival.
@kevin-lu 5 ай бұрын
I leaned towards a van due to the sliding doors. It makes life easier. I haven’t drove the carnival but it I think the features and overall looks is very nice. I was tempted to try for one after waiting 12 months for the Sienna. I ended up joining a Facebook group about the Kia Carnival to see what everyone says any it. Ultimately I decided that the mpg was important to me so stuck with the Sienna.
