1999 Toyota Sienna Minivan XLE 4dr Minivan
Fourteen years of great service
 I've had two toyotas, a total of 27 years great service.  Just usual maintenance required until past 10 years old. At 17 years old, 14 years in my care,   I felt it was worth the price to keep repairing it since I expected to use it for several more years.  Smooth ride.  Good accelerationI  Excellent size and height for a handicapped person. XLE power package helped with handicapped issues.  Plenty of cargo room for purchases, mobility aids, and luggage. Great for airport runs for people and luggage.  I did have to replace 3 of four door handles and the back gate handle assembly at about $300 each.  Also had to convince the automatic door slider chip that it wanted to work on occassion.  Being in the sun, the roof had started peeling.  There were a few other cosmetic things that needed replacing, nothing I could complain about at 17 years old.  In it's demise, again the car served me well in protecting my life.  I was hit hard directly in the drivers door - and pushed into the car in the next lane. Because the door was very sturdy, although it bowed inward, my life was spared.  I had glass cuts, whiplash, and seatbelt bruising, but nothing broken or punctured.  I know what a great vehicle for me is -- another XLE Sienna of a newer model!
