Steve, the bad thing about the AWD Sienna is that it comes with run flat tires. You have to have run flat tires on it because there is no room for a spare tire because of the extra bulk of the AWD system.
 
The run flat tires have to be replaced very often and they cost a lot. I forget the details. If you look in the forums a bit, or google it, I'm sure you can find it pretty easy. I think it's even further back in this thread. I read it and decided totally against the AWD Sienna.

Same here. $800 for a set, and people don't even like the tires.
 
I'm a fan of AWD and I still passed.

Does Toyota in the Chicago region have 0% for 60 months or just 36 months right now? I had thought it was 60 previously, but now on the Toyota website it says 36.

The AWD handles GREAT in the snow! It's a MUST HAVE here in Philadelphia suburbs. I have an 04 XLE AWD w/ 55K miles and bought it new. Much I like about the minivan, much I don't like (small things in the interior) . After the run-flats failed at 25K, I bought conventional tires with 2 cans of fix-a-flat and a portable air pump that all goes in the drawer under the front passenger seat. The minivan rides MUCH smoother and quieter with regular tires.
 
I would like to get a new car, but I can't find anything I like better than this Sienna. The turning circle is important to me (sharp driveway turn into garage) and there is nothing on the market that can turn sharper, so I don't have to do a three-point turn into the garage. Maybe the Mazda CX-9, the Honda Pilot is too ugly.
 
My advice would be to buy the AWD Sienna and take off the run-flat tires immediately, save them, and put conventional tires on the same rims. Buy a air pump and cans of fix-a-flat, and you should be OK. I've been doing it for about 2 1/2 years now. No worries.

Fix-A-Flat cans carry a warning against use in vehicles which utilize tire sensor technology (as AWD Sienna does), because Fix-A-Flat "may block tire sensors and cause them to be inoperable."
 
Some tire places won't repair a tire that's been sealed with Fix a Flat because of a hazard of explosion.
 
It's your own choice, of course. You can google your own research about Fix a Flat warnings and dangers.

A few counter points. You wouldn't want to repair a tire, you would to replace it, so that is a non-issue. How in the world would you repair a tire that's been filled with fix-a-flat anyway? You would have to be a real cheapskate to do that, IMO. Plugging a hole in a tire is not advised. In addition, sidewall punctures can't be repaired anyway.
 
In regards to the tire sensor being damaged, I would think that when you replaced the tire (not repair), the sensor gets either cleaned or replaced. Not sure how that works.
