We bought this vehicle because of the room it has. We can easily haul seven people with plenty of room. It is great for a car seat, which was one of our major considerations since we have a young grandson that we pick up from daycare on a fairly regular basis. With the rear seats down and the middle seats moved up, the cargo area of this minivan holds a full size dresser! We used it to help both of our grown children move with no problems. The luggage rack on the roof is also a great feature. Just last week, we secured eight sections of 4 x 8' lattice on the roof with absolutely no problems. Gas mileage is good for a vehicle of this size. We typically get between 21 and 24 miles per gallon, with a lot of in-town driving and traffic. Our grandson's favorite feature is the retractable window shade located in the sliding doors. He uses them for a dual purpose—shading his eyes and also making the trees zipping by not seem quite so scary (he doesn't like to go fast)! This is also a very smooth riding vehicle, with plenty of room to stretch your legs out, dual controls for air conditioning and heat, both for the two passengers in the front and also with a separate control for passengers in the middle and rear seating areas. The only thing I dislike is the fact that sometimes the sliding doors get a little contrary. One day last week, neither door would open. Instead, they just beeped at me when I attempted to open them. We solved the problem by turning the ignition switch off and restarting the car.

We already had a little boy, but when I found out my wife was having triplets I was shocked. One of the things we needed was a vehicle that could transport our whole family. You would be surprised how hard it is to find a car, or a SUV, or even a minivan that will accommodate three rear-facing car seats. Many vehicles will allow two anchor points for the car seats per row, but not three. You would be surprised. But the Toyota Siena was perfect! It allowed us to fit all of the car seats together in the rear bench seat. There was room for my wife and I in front and my older son in the first row. Then the triplets behind and even room for Grandma to ride with us to the grocery store. Additionally, we found a triplet stroller. The only thing was that it did not fold up. I was worried that it would not fit in the back, but I need not have worried because it fit right in. I could not believe it! Well, my triplets are five yrs. old now, and we had another little boy (yes, we have five little boys), and we are still comfortable in this vehicle. We can travel anywhere. It is a great car. I am even considering getting a second one.
