 Good power and handling for such a large vehicle.  A lot of interior space.  The regular maintenance itemized by Toyota is a small list, including oil changes only every 10k miles.  I like that the powertrain is relatively standard (e.g. no engine start/stop, cylinder de-activation, direct injection, timing belt, or CVT), which I hope translates to high reliability, so far it has.Problems:1. Center console latch broke.  Fixed under warranty.2. Brake rotors were replaced under warranty.2. Minor paint flakes missing on front and rear bumper areas.3. Alarm light flashes when parked, even if not locked. Dealership said this is normal, but I don't think it occurred when new.Issues with design:1. I wish the van was not so large.  It is not "mini" at all.  The size of the Ford Transit Connect would be preferable, for me.2. Poor gas mileage.  This obviously partly correlates to the "standard" powertrain I like, and to the size of the vehicle.  And it is inline with the EPA ratings, so no surprise.  Just wish it was better.3.  The 2nd row is terrible.  The 8 seater's 2nd row middle seat is ridiculously narrow, short, and the seat bottom is lower than the adjacent seats.  Also, there is no LATCH attachments for the middle seat.  It is almost useless.  Finally, when you remove the 2nd row seats, there are runners in the tracks that remain.  This makes it a non-flat load floor and the runners could get damaged when hauling items.  Just an absolutely terrible design by Toyota for the 2nd row.  Look at the Honda for how it should be done.4. The 3rd row only has 2 sets of LATCH anchors, and one of them is in the middle of the wider section of the 60/40 split seat.  So, you could not have two passengers in that section if you use the LATCH.  Again, the Honda gets this right.5. Not a full size spare tire.
