The motor is quiet. it is mostly a dependable vehicle, however, I would not recommend it.

I really like that the Toyota Sienna is very drive-able--it maneuvers like a smaller vehicle. We sized up from a small car, and it wasn't a hard transition to go to a much larger vehicle. The gas mileage is pretty good for a relatively large vehicle. There is lots of storage space--I especially like the deep storage in the trunk area. We can really pack plenty of stuff for trips and still have lots of room for our family to spread out in the van.
