Comments
Favorite feature:	gas mileage, excellent acceleration from a standstill.
Least favorite feature:	ride, road noise, headrests, side windows fog too easily, cloth seats, too much body plastic, transmission
Advice to buyer:
Detailed review:	I was expecting a little more after reading the reviews in various magazines and after owning a 1998 Sienna, which I loved. The Hylander I purchased is a 4-cylinder, 6 speed, with a third row bench seat. No bells or whistles. Pretty much stock. Diappointments - transmission does not shift smoothly, the ride is rough, the headrests are too far forward, the road noise is atrocious, too much plastic, driver's seat cloth wrinkled and stretched, weak A/C, side windows fog up too easily, and the original tires wore out (cupping) under 25,000 miles.
