So, the 2004 Limited is still my first choice I think. It has all the features I want; it's a good price. But then I read this
on Edmunds.com, and now I'm nervous. What does that mean? I know it has side airbags because it's a Limited. But WTH is the side-structure business? Should I take it out of the mix?
My next question is, because it's so far away, I can't really test drive it easily (I will before I buy, definitely, of course). But I need to make sure I fit in the firking in thing first (I have disgustingly short legs. It makes larger vehicles difficult for me - I couldn't drive the now-totaled Durango). Would a slightly different model year (2005-2008) be that much different? These are out of our price range, but closer so that I could test drive and see if I can reach the pedals.
I also came across a Town and Country that DH REALLY likes. It's in our price range, but an '08. And I'm fairly sure it has that telesoping foot pedal business, which is good for me. But I don't really know anything about Town and Countries (Countrys?) or if they play well with Radians.
ETA: I'm still going to test drive a couple Sedonas, but it's really hard to find an EX around here (honestly most of them are pretty stipped of features altogether)
The second-generation Sienna was produced from 2004-'10. We would recommend looking at 2005-and-newer models (built after February 2005), as Toyota strengthened the van's side structure and revised the side airbags to improve performance in side-impact crashes.
