My parent's 2004 sienna with the 3.3 V6 has seen more abuse than a car should ever experience. 250,000 miles, and one rebuilt tranny so far. Not just interior abuse; after I got my license it saw quite a bit of full throttle & squeeling tire sliding around west Virginia mountain roads for hours at a time  best road trip vehicles you can get, in my opinion. Surprisingly fast and well-balanced when not loaded down. |
It is my daily driver as well. So, there are certain requirements...such as memory seats (wife also drives), leather (for spills), blind spot monitoring (safety), and HIDs (i drive at night often). (The higher-end Sienna is also quieter because of acoustics windshield.)
We also drive long distances because airfare for 5 people can be hefty!
