2011 Toyota Sienna LE SE and Limited
All too often, advertising is better than the product.
The advertising is great. I love the whole "Swagger Wagon", "Mommy Like" and "Daddy Like" thing.
The product is better.
You see, to me, minivan haters have it wrong. At least from a standpoint of timing. 15 years ago, minivans were dreadful. The original Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth vans were expanding...and not gracefully. GM and Ford didnt have a clue and the Japanese were trying to be unique...and succeeding all too well. That would have been the time to rebel against them.
But now? There are some very, very good minivans out there. And the new Sienna is at the top of the list.
I had three different trim levels of Sienna over the summer. There are five. But the Swagger Wagons on loan to TireKicker were the one-step-up-from-base LE, the next-step SE and the top-of-the-line Limited.
The Limited? Well, lets just say that exposure to it caused one die-hard minivan-hater I know to go into a spasm of "Oh my God"s...and in a good way. Reclining captains chairs with footrests in the second row with which to enjoy the split screen entertainment system will do that to you. And the Limited is decked out very nicely. Its the Lexus of minivans. And ours had the $4,025 LTD Premium package.
Base price? $39,770. As tested? $45,890.
Yeah...thats a lot for a minivan. But its good enough that if I was looking at family vehicles (SUVs, wagons, minivans) with a max budget of $50,000 (have you priced vehicles that seat seven lately), Id pop for the Sienna Limited in a heartbeat.
But if you listen to your inner CPA, stepping down to the SE is by no means trading riches for rags. Its a wonderfully solid piece, with the same engine and transmission as the Limited, but less weight, resulting in a boost from 16 miles per gallon city, 22 highway to 18/24. And its hard to argue with the savings...base price drops to $30,550 and our tester topped out at $33,518.
However, my favorite (no surprise to regular TireKicker readers) was the second-from-base LE. The 3.5 liter V6 is replaced by a 2.7 liter 4-cylinder which is more than adequate and bumps the EPA numbers up to 19/24. Base price drops down to $25,345 (ours had the LE Preferred Package, adding power sliding doors and drivers seat, backup camera, sunshades, upgraded audio system and Bluetooth) and the as-tested was $29,703.
Well-equipped minivans under $30K are not everyday things. But then, neither is the Sienna. Id happily make the LE my daily driver.

Nissan Juke 2011 Review The Rare Combination Of Cheap Fast And Reliable
Nissan Juke 2011 Review - What Car and parsimonious conformers, Juke very successful. Although it is not its aesthetic defects, will generate enough experience of driving pleasure. When the starting price of $ 18,960, Juke may also be a rare combination of affordable, fast and reliable. Only the stuttering block is that, instead of packed with dazzling, sexy wrap, it is the public under the guise of a clumsy, ungainly package surface types can write off for no reason.
The 2011 Nissan Juke is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has 188hp. 6-speed manual transmission, available in front-drive models only, is not as good as the gearbox MINI, but it is nice to use, with strong throws and a clutch that is easy to modulate around the city and offers good feedback. A CVT is also available in models with front-or all-wheel drive. The manual is aimed at some of those concerns, with six "gears" to choose from, and a reasonable facsimile of a gas in a short time, but this is nothing next to the manual.
Although it looks masculine and authoritarian, the unusual design is a pastiche of shapes and surfaces that are visually unpleasant. The interior is another mixed bag with some very innovative touches mixed with some equally bad, hard plastic at low prices. The rear seats are very narrow, even for someone under 6 feet tall, with little in the way of the head or legs. The design of the seat itself is rather too upright and cushioning, and is presented as an afterthought.
