We bought a 2015 Sienna LE recently. The sliding doors are really better than swinging doors for kids. I know they aren't cool, but damaging your or another car isn't very cool either.

For a family, they really are the best car out there. Having space between the kids does reduce the fighting. They enjoy their "captains" chairs and A/C controls.

We went for the entry level model because we don't need all the bells and whistles. My sisters family can afford the very best of everything (we cannot), but I haven't seen any features on her Infinity or her husbands Audi which we need.

The car is a little wallowy/wavey on curvy roads, and the power steering helps too much, but the A/C works, which is more than I can say for most MBs I read about on this forum.

I originally wanted a Mazda5 (like Tom's family above), but it is not designed to do any towing. I wanted the option to rent a trailer from Uhaul and that sort of thing, so that nixed the Mazda. We went for the Toyota over the Honda simply because the reliability is better according to most measures. I think the Honda is a better driving car, but simply needs a bit more loving care to keep it healthy in the long run.
