2012 Toyota Sienna LE

The Sienna is Toyota's family hauler, a minivan that seats up to eight and competes with the Honda Odyssey and Chrysler Town & Country. It drives with a smooth, car-like feel that makes it easy to forget you're piloting a van, and the ride stays composed even on rough pavement. Cabin space is generous for all three rows, though the third-row bench is a bit thin for adults on long trips. The interior is genuinely versatile: the third row folds flat into the floor, and the removable eighth seat lets you switch between seven and eight passenger duty. The LE splits the difference between the base front-drive LE and the sporty SE, adding a few comfort upgrades without the XLE's premium price. Its 3.5L V6 makes 266 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving you confident highway merging and 21 mpg combined.
