2008 Sienna Review Summary & Specifications
|
If we were choosing one vehicle to fill every transportation role for a large or growing family, it might be a Toyota Sienna. The Sienna is one of the most appealing minivans available. It's among the most powerful yet it's reasonably economical. It's comfortable, responsive and roomy, with flexible seating options and the capability to tow a camper or pick up a big-screen TV. It's up to the rigors of Midwestern winters, even in front-drive trim, a benefit of its active safety features. J.P. Vettraino reported from Detroit, with Kirk Bell in Chicago.
