Toyota Sienna Review
2010 Toyota Sienna
Price Range: $24,540 - $37,865

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Sienna to the dealership as the typical minivan/van. Regarding MSRP, the Toyota Sienna doesn't cost much less than the typical minivan/van.

Utility
The Toyota Sienna and the average minivan/van can accommodate the same number of passengers. The typical minivan/van is a better choice than the Sienna in terms of hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of suitcases or big animals. Towing is considerably more the average minivan/van's forte than it is the Toyota Sienna's.

Convenience
You'll most certainly have to take the Toyota Sienna for a fill-up more often than the typical minivan/van because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Toyota Sienna offers a bit more head room than the average minivan/van, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Toyota Sienna make it considerably roomier for your passengers than the typical minivan/van.

Dimensions
The typical minivan/van is substantially more bulky than the Sienna. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the typical minivan/van than the Toyota Sienna because of its bigger tank. The Toyota Sienna and the average minivan/van compete for the same parking spaces. The average minivan/van's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the Toyota Sienna may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Toyota Sienna is most certainly more agile than the average minivan/van, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The typical minivan/van's engine is substantially more massive than the Toyota Sienna's. Remember that more massive engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. The Toyota Sienna could learn a lesson or two from the average minivan/van regarding torque.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Toyota Sienna isn't quite as generous as the typical minivan/van's.
