The Toyota Sienna seats up to eight passengers and even though it is a Japanese brand, it is built in the United States. The Odyssey offers a six-speed automatic transmission with a six-cylinder, 3.5-liter engine. It also offers all-wheel drive, which is a nice upgrade and a convenience depending on where you live.

The Grand Caravan is a great family vehicle that gets terrific gas mileage: 25 mpg. It has a twenty-gallon fuel tank and a V-6, 3.6-liter engine with a 6 speed automatic transmission.  The Caravan has so many features that there's really not enough room here to even mention half of them. There are a lot of upgrades and standard safety features that give the Caravan a feeling of completeness. When you get into one of these vans you first notice a feeling of comfort, then safety and reliability, and then you realize that someone has finally built something that might not need any improving upon.

The Sienna's seats have been improved, enlarged and made more comfortable. The second row of seats can be removed which makes the cargo space larger and easier to maneuver in. The Sienna also has made it easier for disabled passengers with their auto-access seat. This innovation is a first in the industry.

Front-wheel drive and 17-inch wheels make the Caravan a pretty stable vehicle. The second row of seats is removable and there are unique in-floor storage bins that add even more volume to the already large cargo space. When the third row of seats is folded away, you have transformed your family transport machine into a full-bore cargo hauling enterprise. Space is valuable to people who are driving children to after-school functions or just going grocery shopping, and the Caravan nicely surprises everyone in this area.
