2015 Toyota Sienna LE

The 2015 Sienna is Toyota's minivan, the one to cross-shop if you're also looking at a Honda Odyssey or a Chrysler Town & Country. It's a smooth, quiet cruiser that soaks up highway miles, and the steering is light enough that it doesn't feel as big as it is. The cabin is genuinely roomy, with eight seats that fit adults in the third row, and the second-row captain's chairs slide and recline for easy access. Owners have noted the power sliding doors can be finicky, and the tire pressure sensors tend to be sensitive to temperature swings. The LE gets you an eight-passenger second-row bench that slides and splits, plus alloy wheels and power sliding doors, over the base L. Its 3.5L V6 makes 295 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, and with front-wheel drive it returns 21 mpg combined. The LE also comes standard with a backup camera and an auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink, features you'd have to option on some rivals.
