The 2008 Toyota Sienna nameplate brings with it the superb combination of power, comfort and reliability, for which Toyota Motors Corporation is known for all over the world. The Sienna is available in four trim levels: the base CE, as well as the higher-level LE, XLE, and Limited. All but the CE is available with all-wheel drive. Some of the positive aspects of this years line-up are good engine power, excellent crash-test ratings, comfortable and feature packed interior cabin, versatile space for passengers and cargo, refined powertrain, optional stability control system and available side airbags. It is not that there are no loose ends in the current Sienna models. Features like dull styling, small size, lacks optimal utility and poor rear-impact safety scores should also be considered while buying this minivan. However there are many body styles and trims to choose from. The Sienna carries into 2008 virtually unchanged.
Exterior And Interior Review
Even if the Sienna has attractive lines but it cannot be marked as a show stealer. It is very smartly styled, as far as the exterior body is concerned but there is nothing radical in the exterior features or design. The cabin is spacious; utility enabled and gives an overall feeling of quality at all trim levels. Notable features include excellent moldings on lower trim levels; leather seating surfaces and wood trim on the high-end models.
Comfortable Ride
As per the 2008 Toyota Sienna review, it is a comfortable, safe and reliable minivan on the road. The outstanding power off the line, it is a perfect for those who want ample space both in the seating and the cargo area. It provides the right balance of power for a family vehicle. Under the hood is a smooth, powerful and refined 3.0-liter V6 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
Safety
A good range of safety features are there in the current line-up. The Sienna's rigid and lightweight unitized body has performed exceptionally well in government crash tests. All the models have high marks in both front- and side-impact government crash tests. The safety gears list has almost all the necessary safety related equipments, like ABS, front seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters, a low tire-pressure warning system and daytime running lights.
Sienna is not the biggest or most useful minivan but however, it is a reliable, safe, solidly performing and refined vehicle that are simply perfect for big families.
