You've never driven a minivan.

Understand that the Highlander is the tall, space-inefficient,
swing-out-door station wagon version of the Camry, while the Sienna is
the tall, space-efficient, sliding door version of the Camry.

There is incredibly more room inside a minivan than in the comparable
"SUV". That's room for people AND room for stuff simultaneously.

Once inside, you don't really know that you're not driving a Camry.
Toyota went to great lengths to get that right--on both the Highlander
and the Sienna.

You know, a minivan is not so bad. We bought a 1998 Sienna new and have
used it for 2 kids and everything that goes along with camping/trailering
many weekends per year since. As Elmo notes, it drives really well. I
have had a lot of enjoyment driving that thing for 190K miles now. I
thought I would feel like a non-sporty guy in it at first, but that went
away fast enough.

You can fill it up with loads of stuff, both inside and on top, and it
will pull a decent sized popup camper (done all that simultaneously,
regularly).

The Sienna has 2 front 2 middle and 3 last row, I think it might be
more difficult to put a child in the 3rd row with the 2 middle rows
already occupied with childseats.
