You might recall that my family was recently blessed with a Toyota Sienna to drive for a few months. It was fabulous! There are so many things that I love about the Sienna like the sleek design, amazing safety features galore, and the superior entertainment system.
But for a family of growing teenagers and dogs like mine, it’s the generous seating, leg room and ample storage that I love the most.
The Sienna is perfect for transporting dogs to the vet, groomers, or dog park.
The Sienna is perfect for bringing home junk shop treasures like old garden benches.
The Toyota Sienna is perfect for hauling food bank donations.
The Sienna is the perfect vehicle for chauffeuring of wild teenagers around.
Seriously. What can’t you carry in a Toyota Sienna? This van rocks! It comfortably seats up to 8 passengers with ample leg room, and the storage cannot be beat. Simply drop the back seats down to carry large items. Be sure you’re following #SiennaDiaries on Twitter for all the fun!
I am participating in a sponsored campaign with Toyota. Al thoughts and opinions are my own.

April 23, 2014 at 11:29 AMAhhh, to drive a mini van again. I’m angling for the new Nissan van. I don’t know the model, but it’s all square and looks like an old Good Humor ice cream truck.

April 23, 2014 at 3:18 PMI am so envious of this campaign! I want to try out a Sienna so bad! I love that it seats 8…our vans only seat 7, and when 4 of them are carseats/boosters, we can’t even get a 7th person in there!

April 27, 2014 at 9:45 PMMy family rented a Sienna a few years ago for vacation, it held six of us- including my big 6’3″ and 6’4″ tall teens in the backseat with all of our luggage for a week long vacation, a metal detector, cooler, my laptop and camera gear comfortably. I was very impressed by the amount of room in the Sienna.
