We had the extra towing package on ours which made it have a more stable ride or feeling to it out on the hwys. Especially driving in the wind. I love the air conditioner and heater in the Sienna too. I know you are going to really enjoy driving this vehicle. Gets good gas milage too!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160457872569395644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35907208645536200622011-06-22T22:46:34.030-04:002011-06-22T22:46:34.030-04:00Now, I'm totally envious!

I appreciate your thoughts, but th...Dear Anonymous. I appreciate your thoughts, but this is the 21st century. NO country survives only by purchasing from their own country. Do you sew on an american made sewing machine? Are you aware that many of the books you purchase are printed in CHINA? AQS, That Patchwork Place, C&T ALL print in China. I publish with Kansas City Star which prints ALL of their books in the USA. So please don't make me feel like I am not supporting america. I looked at american models. My last several cars were american. I've had fords, chryslers, pontiacs, and saturns. But in the minivan department, they were an inferior product. That's my bottom line. <br /><br />Is your sewing machine an american product? your TV? your Stereo? Your computer?!<br /><br />Most of the fabric we sew with today is manufactured and/or printed in China.<br /><br />Look around you. And before you get down on me for buying a car with a foreign name that was ASSEMBLED in the USA by USA workers....think again about everything that comes in to your home.Bonnie K.

(and I hate to car shop). I can't imagine driving anything else. I know you're going to love yours the more you use it and experience the comfort and convenience.<br /><br />To Anonymous who is disappointed you didn't buy something made in America. Toyota has 5 major assembly plants in the USA: Huntsville, Alabama; Georgetown, Kentucky; Princeton, Indiana; San Antonio, Texas; Buffalo West Virginia and a new plant being finished in Blue Springs, Mississippi as well as a joint venture with Subaru in Lafayette, Indiana; They've been building cars in the US since the 80's and employ a lot of US auto workers. You can be less diappointed with Bonnie for buying a Sienna now.NeverBoredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864997245809631313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-4607147792862520292011-06-21T16:24:11.275-04:002011-06-21T16:24:11.275-04:00Congratulations!

Personally, I will never have a vehicle without a sunroof - I love mine. I find if I leave the back windows opened just a little, the noise from the sunroof is less. And do you like your cup holders? DH thought I was nuts when I considered that as one of the final tie breakers when I bought the last car. If I'm going to drink stuff in my car, the cup holders should be convenient, right?
