If you have a minivan, what is it and do you like it?

1 Answer

Answer :

We have a Toyota Sienna (2004). It’s been a terrific minivan, and Toyota has stood by the product. A couple of things were fixed for free due to recalls. It’s roomy, drives well, is very safe, and is well made. But, it’s definitely a minivan. Nothing cool about it. Not that cool keeps kids safe, of course.
