For the record, no one actually drives a mini-van unless they have to. But if the size and seating is what best suits your needs, I\u2019d be happy to recommend the 2014 Toyota Sienna to you. The standard, plain exterior is quite deceiving. On the outside, the Sienna looks like any other car of its class. Inside in another story though.<\/p>\n

2014 Toyota Sienna<\/h3>\n

With top of the line upgrades, kids will be fighting to ride with you. Leather seats, faux wood grain, 3-way climate control, back-up camera, auto dimming lights, DVD player, wireless headsets, automatic lift gate, cup holders galore, space for everything everywhere, the features go on and on. The V6 engine lets you pass up any whipper-snapper that won\u2019t let you in. That\u2019s quite an exhilarating feeling . . . Keep in mind that the Sienna is a bit wider so don\u2019t attempt to fit in any compact spaces. Otherwise, you\u2019ll likely end up with some dings in the doors (people seem to like opening their doors into mini-vans).<\/p>\n

For the Whole Family<\/h3>\n

We were surprised at the easy handling. Oh, and this baby has a crazy turning range. U-turns are easy peasy and parking is a breeze. Just watch out that for those electric doors, our dog almost lost her nose a few times. Speaking of our dog, Speckles absolutely loved being in the Sienna. The back area is oddly shaped so we would let her ride in the main section between the second row bucket seats. She settled right in and actually stayed sitting \/ laying, something she generally refuses to do. Plus, Munchkin found it quite cozy having her sister next to her.<\/p>\n

Many parents have expressed the desire for separated seats in the middle. The Toyota Sienna fits that order just right with the 7-person seating. The two seats in the second row move slide forward and back and even recline. This is function doesn\u2019t really work out 100% as the person sitting there would have to have really, really short legs to enjoy it, even with the seat moved all the way back. By the way, an 8-seat option is available if that better fits your family’s needs.<\/p>\n

As for the third row, it\u2019s extremely simple to drop them down and pop them up. Want a demonstration?
