2. One of the "big four" minivans in the American
car market, the Toyota Sienna is a direct
challenger to the likes of the Dodge Grand
Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, and the
Honda Odyssey. Updated last year--it lost its
base four-cylinder engine, and gained standard
power sliding side doors--the Sienna only
undergoes mild changes for 2014, by adding a
cargo version and by making a towing package
standard on all versions.

5. Minivans are all about space and functionality. At
more than 200 inches long, and more than 78
inches wide, the Sienna's a big van. There's space
everywhere, even in the third row. The front seats
get a regal seating position, and even in the second
row, a pair of airline-style reclining bucket seats are
available. The basic bench is comfortable, with
expanses of head and leg room--and it slides on an
elongated track so that either second- or third-row
leg room can be expanded. It also aids in loading
passengers into the third row. The second-row seat
can be removed entirely, but does not fold away into
the floor--the Chrysler minivans' special trick. The
third-row seat does fold flat, and with it stowed and
the middle seats pushed forward, the Sienna has
150 cubic feet of cargo space.

8. There's no more four-cylinder engine, so all
Siennas now come with a 3.5-liter V-6 with 266
horsepower, coupled to a six-speed automatic.
Performance is brisk, but gas mileage dips
overall with the loss of the four-cylinder, and
even the six's city ratings have fallen by 1 mpg.
Handling isn't quite as crisp as the Odyssey,
but the Sienna's electric power steering and
independent suspension are sorted out well,
without much body roll. The SE version has
slightly more direct feel, but it's a very subtle
distinction to be drawn--one we think gets lost
by most minivan shoppers.
