I actually don't immediately think of a minivan when I'm driving this car. It feels more like an SUV, and I use it more like an SUV (aside from the potential for off road driving, which I do not do with this vehicle). I'm a big fan of the vehicle because of its handling, its Toyota quality, it rides well, has a ton of features built in, and of course, the all-wheel drive (AWD) is great for people who have serious winters. The seats are very configurable (I keep the middle two out most of the time, and the back bench folds into floor, which is nice).

First I'd like to state that I never thought I'd own a minivan. After the birth of my son, it was time to trade in my two-door sports car for something a little more practical. That's when I started looking at the Toyota Sienna. This is not my first minivan. My first was purchased in 2013, and I traded that one in for a 2015 after I was offered a 0% interest rate and other perks. The minivan rides like a car. Everyone who has ever rode in it comments how comfortable the ride is. There is plenty of open space in the back where passengers enjoy leg and arm space. And the bikes and other equipment in the back isn't in the way. The one issue I have had though would be the tires. For some reason, at least this is what I was told by those who work in service, these Siennas eat tires. I have had to replace the tires five times in four years and as you know, that could get really expensive. The vehicle comes with run flats so you don't have to worry about hauling a spare, but a set of new tires each time it's needed is $1,000. It is for this reason alone that I would never consider buying this vehicle again. I have been in contact with Toyota, and they deny that's in an issue on their end, despite getting regular tire rotations and service maintenance regularly.
