Toyota Sienna combines good ideas from rival minivans with its own appealing pluses, including first-rate refinement and build quality, and carlike road manners. Prices get steep on well-equipped models, but that's partly offset by Toyota's reputation for reliability and high resale value. This is an easy Recommended choice.
