    We Uber'd to a recent Metallica concert in a new Sienna. I sat in the front …it had like a 4 dimensional center console. Weird but pleasant and open sight lines inside. There was 5 of us, including driver, never felt cramped.

    I've always wanted a Sienna. Throw a roof basket on there with a "widdle wadder" and you got one versatile ride.
    I previously owned a Dodge Caravan and am proud to say that I never once felt ashamed.

    Own a Sienna myself, great van all around. But ouch the Caravan comment kinda made me cringe my Toyota brother. We'll have to work on that. ;):boink:

    My mom bought a 2025 a AWD Sienna and a driver her up to Jersey from Florida it was the most comfortable drive I ever had 600 + miles to the tank and I now realize how comfortable they actually are, I’m all for it.

    Siennas are awesome, if we still needed a van I'd probably have another one. Get the AWD version if you can, if you drive in snow.

    My old neighbor had a lifted one on wildpeaks. could hang with us for a surprising amount of terrain with AWD, and then could comfortably sleep inside if he didn't have the younguns in tow.

    We had a Sienna for 17 years, bought it new. Hands down, one of the best vehicles we've ever owned.
    But....yes, it's a minivan.

    I've seen quite a few newer Sienna's on the road lately. They look very comfortable for road trips.

    You’re not married, so get what you want

    we have an odyssey, it has been a money pit. We bought it at 3 years old and only 60k miles. 100k now and have had to do the front suspension, timing belt, water pump, blower motors, the sliding doors are finicky and sometimes do NOT open or close (common)

    get a sienna AWD. there are older ones that will be fine.

    Older sequoia, 4Runner or AWD sienna.
