Replying to: yatesjo (Oct 01, 2009 12:58 pm) I like the concept of the Rondo and Mazda5, but they're a tad too small. The Mazda5 really only seats 4 comfortably, as you can't get a bench for the 2nd row (in the USA). The 3rd row in both has zero legroom. The JDM Ody is bigger. Subaru also has an Exiga model based on the Forester that is sold in Japan and Australia only, for now. There is no LHD version so no hope for US production of that car. It's a bit small, though, here's a pic with a human for scale:

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 02, 2009 9:10 am) There is a lot of good vehicles in the rest of the world that would be sold here if not for the over regulation of our so-called free country. SUVs would probably never taken off and we'd use less fuel as a country if only those choices were there for us.

hi all - a few questions on my sienna le 2010 1- is there a way to make the power outlets work while car is turned off. i want to charge my cell phone overnight in the car while it is locked. 2- it said in the manual that you had to have the dealer change certian settings like the way the interior lights cycle or if you want the chime to silence when you lock or open the car....anyone know where to find how i can do this? my old car was a series of turning the key on and pressing the break pedal etc. i did switch these door locks action when putting the shifter in park, so i thought there should be ways to do the others. 3- the lower / larger glove box opens once and i feel like it should open one more position for easer access but do not want to force it...does it open once or twice? thanks in advance, glad i found this forum!

Replying to: islandvan (Oct 03, 2009 5:00 am) 2. Yes, in fact besides the change you mentioned I was able to turn off the seatbelt chime for the passenger seat. Why, you may ask? Because unlike the Odyssey the front passenger seat can fold flat, and when you sit in the back and use the back of the seat as a foot rest (to lay down and watch a movie), it fools the sensor into thinking someone is sitting there. You could of course fasten the seat belt before you fold the seat flat, but I find it easier to just turn off that buzzer. I remind everyone to fasten their seat belts anyway. Now, do I know the specific procedure? Nope, sorry. I found it online by searching, though, so don't give up. The forum where I found my solution doesn't exist any more, but ask around in the Sienna threads, odds are someone will remember. 3. AFAIK, it opens to one level. It's pretty deep so they probably don't want all that stuff spilling out.

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 03, 2009 5:11 am) i understand the battery saving idea but i have charged many cell phones overnight in different cars with never a problem and i think toyota would let us decide to take the chance if we wanted. and i will keep searcing for ideas on how to customize the car the way i like.
