This. My wife and I agreed when we had a kid that under no circumstances were we to get a minivan. There was a second where we almost got a station wagon, then came to our senses and bought a regular sedan instead.

Why would I need one of those? I really don't care for any 4.6s, seen too many rod knock problems. I think my 95 Cobra with a 351 is better.

I thought they actually looked good lowered with wheels. Plus that video was edited very well.

Sorry Lee I've seen 10x that of a Windsor pushrod going south than any 4.6 ever..plain and simple these motors both can take a whoopin but from my standpoint the ratio of modulars to pushrod windsors blowing up is easily one sided..32vNation bud [burnout]

Soon as i put more miles on it, ill see about modding the suspension. Imo these siennas dont need anything except wheels and a nice stance, even the interior is pretty badass. Handles pretty damn good too, left an older m3 on a right hand sweeper and couldnt feel any body roll. And plus with 2 strollers, i need the space haha

Suspensions is key. Just make sure you are willing to go that low. Daily driving on coilovers can get rough too. Those vans look sick...

I have a '12 Sienna SE and enjoy driving it. I sold my S4 Avant because I couldn't fit three booster seats in the back. I was going to get a SUV but the simple fact is minivans can fit a lot more in them. I can get 8 people in there plus a couple strollers and luggage. With all seats up in an SUV, you're lucky to fit anything in the back and I need all three rows 90% of the time. Biggest drawback is you can't tow anything worthwhile.

I'd really recommend driving it around stock for a little while. The coil-overs are great if you want to adjust ride height, but the stock SE suspension is very very well engineered for what it is. I just swapped out the 19" wheels for something else and called it a day. If anyone comes out with a BBK, I may consider it. Otherwise, mine's staying stock other than interior multimedia and such.
