I have to chime in: While waiting for my Stagea to arrive from Japan, I borrowed a friend's 2013 Dodge Caravan, and I have to say, it was a fuckin nightmare of a vehicle.

The front drive wheel would do burn outs on any slight incline, even in the dry. In the wet, don't even get me started. It almost seemed like it didn't matter how lightly I pressed the pedal, the wheel would slip, and when the light turns green it's pretty embarrassing when it seems like you're trying to drag race everyone

I think they have like 280 hp...do you really need that much power in a family van?

And the fuel economy was HORRENDOUS. One time I put in $30 and I got 100 km! I would think that a family friendly car would be somewhat economical. In fact the whole reason why my friend lent me his car, was that he had just bought it and it was so bad on gas, and so expensive to insure, that he just went back to driving his shitty beater Voyager.

I would go with what others are saying; The Sienna is pretty cool looking for a minivan. And you're getting Toyota reliability. Maybe a bit more $ but I'd get that.
