If your options were a limited awd at $57 or XLE awd at $53 (both negotiated down and both with inverter, Entertainment, weather mats, cargo bars etc) - which and why?

I keep going back forth between a limited and XLE.

I LIKE the gray colored interior of the XLE - but don’t love the softex. I LIKE the leather trim of the limited / but don’t like the interior color options - I’d do macademia over all black though. Anyone have any thoughts on choosing one vs the other?

It has about 204k miles now. It needs front lower control arms and struts. Is it even worth it at this point?

This question is for 25/26 Sienna owners who owned older siennas previously. (Like I have a 2012 Limited and a reservation for a 2026 XLE).

Do you like your new siennas as much as your old?

Would you all get a used 2020 limited with 50k mile or a new 2026 XLE? 2020 is about 15k cheaper.

here is where I get confused. Over five years and assuming clean history: even after factoring in 5 years of worse fuel economy, the Limited Premium comes out roughly $10,000+ ahead financially — and you get a more luxurious trim in the process?

The awd xle one I have reserved has -

Are these worth it? It’s hard to find a white awd XLE at all, but we don’t need the entertainment system. I can see the speakers and inverter being nice. Others?

I wish I could pick and choose accessories, but I can’t for white awd XLE apparently. I can barely find one for sale.

I test drove a Honda, as I am deciding between it and Sienna (leaning Sienna, have 2012 Sienna with 200k plus miles now).

We are a tall family of 5. Unless I am missing something, the second row seats in the Honda don't go back that far for legroom? (yes they go side to side, but I have three older kids not in car-seats so we don't really need this?). Yet the Sienna second row seats go wayyyyy back for legroom. Why do people think Honda second row is more spacious? (We will never need to remove the seats, so that's not an issue for us.) Genuinely confused as I keep reading Honda better for tall people and that makes no sense unless I am missing something?

Price - MSRP is $52,790 plus doc fee of $620 and $9 DMV charge. OTD at $53419 ( tax separate here when register vehicle ).

Is this a good price? Or no? We really do t need all those extras (mostly the entertainment system) but I can’t find one without it so far that’s less in cost.

We need a new Sienna (replacing a Sienna limited 2012 with over 200k miles). Or maybe a Honda? Thoughts?

The market is crazy to me. Can barely find new AWDs in my region. What would you pay for a 2026 XLE with AWD? I found one to reserve but it also has extras like better speakers and entertainment package (which we really don’t need).

Better to keep looking for used? They are very hard to find with decent mileage and seem nearly as pricey as new?

Or I saw on here rumors the 2027 model
Is so much better?
