Last week my husband had me browse a car site , carmax.com And, we fell in love with a 2020 Sienna XLE. Before I knew it, I'd reserved and then bought myself the van. Today we took it for a test drive and bought it on the spot. Traded in our old van, and let them dispose of our old microwave at the same time. Guess my check book came in handy. My husband forgot I kept it on me. Since both our names were on the checking account, he just signed it.
Now we have a new van. And, we love it.

The reviews on this model are all pretty glowing.
It has a 3.5L V6 with 300hp and still gets 27mpg. AWD models get a tiny bit less.
The safety features are amazing. It has all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a luxury car.
Front, rear and blindspot cameras with pedestrian alert are standard.
It may take some time to learn about the technology at your fingertips.
I hope you grabbed the phone charger from the trade-in in case power goes out again lol.
Congrats to you guys. What a fun day

Oh, I did. When I get a chance I'll work on connecting the bluetooth to my phone. But the USB port, is working well in terms of charging.

@Vikingswest1 The car comes with Apple carplay, which is apparently standard on the model we chose. So USB charging is a must. Needless to say, I don't need the charger I bought off of Amazon anymore, unless I'm traveling in a vehicle that doesn't have USB charging, or I have to plug something in that needs a standard electrical outlet.

Yeah, I can try to upload a photo. I just need a good time where I can get a good shot. Inside our garage just won't cut it.

Thank you. I'm happy, too. I'm actually surprised on how George feels about the "toys"

It's nice to get something new when an old thing wears out.

Sounds like you had a great experience with Car Max. Beats haggling over prices at a dealership. Good luck with your new car

My husband is the most careful driver I know. We got to see some of the safety features in action, which was kind of cool. Had to show him a few things. We also discovered last night, the smart key has a ridiciously short range. This makes george feel so much safer.
