When we were shopping for a new van, we were only interested in the Honda and Toyota. The Honda sales guy show us the van and look at me and continue talking about performance, handling and that the cockpit looked like a sports car. That, it did look a little like my S2000. it did handling better then the Sienna, but that's not why we bought the van
. With "Handling", come stiffer suspension (it seem and felt that way a little at the test drive?). When we drove the Sienna, the van was quiet and comfy and no road noise. We were sold. We still have the van with 150k trouble free miles on it. Shocks have been replaced at 120k miles. The automatic fold down seat went and the auto door developed a scraping sound. Toyota popped for the parts and we paid the labor on it, so it was not too bad.
