  • Trip comfort/clearance - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    This is the most comfortable vehicle we have ever had for short and long distance trips. The comfort level is excellent,the gas mileage very good. We drove from AZ to WI and back as far as Colorado before running over a piece of metal possibly from a semi tranmission that took out the underparts of our van. Its still in Colorado. We fly up friday to retrive van from dealer that is replacing all the damaged parts. Wish it was a little higher off the ground, lost the brake lines, rear ac, transmission pan, shield off gas tank, exhaust system, cross something or other in front and even dented floor pan in rear. But was pretty big chunk of steel and no way to miss it because of traffic.

  • Sienna XLE 1995 Experience - 2005 Toyota Sienna

    This has been the best car weve ever owned (I bought my first car in 1956). It has been extremely reliable. My only expenses have been for new tires and a new battery. I do nearly all my own maintenance. I follow all recommended maintenance recommended in the cars manual.

  • One of the Best Ive Had - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Put 24K miles on in the 15 months with no problmes. Several 2000+ mile trips to hunt pens.Tires wore quickly but Toyota dealer gave me 2 Michelin and I bought 2 in a compromise. Much better mileage (24+ at 65-75 mph) than previous 02 Highlander LTD and many more passenger and cargo options. Wish they put the power passnger seat. Laser cruise is a pain but sonar is great for close parking garages. Havent used sunroof but love window shades and did put extra tinting in up to the legal max after purchase. A great distance vehicle. 02 RX300 just gets used for local trips now. Rarely fold seats as keeping them up leaves plenty of cargo space in the hole and can haul 7 people to dinner. Great

  • Love my van! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Love everything about it, big upgrade from my 1992 Previa. Have taken 8 trips in it since purchase, no complaints whatsoever. Very easy to move seats in and out, up and down, to allow for carrying passengers or cargo. Seats 6 adults very comfortably, a 7th in the rear seats if all are smaller adults.

  • Fun, Fun and Fun.... - 2005 Toyota Sienna

    Smooth and very fun to drive. Fell styling, safer, big and roomy.

  • Awesome switch from SUV! Why did I wait? - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I was a Tahoe holdout, until the kids started school. I drove everything and nothing compared to the luxury of the Sienna. Comfortable seats- plus Stow and Go! I love the clever features inside-compartments everywhere. They thought of everything to make driving a family around a breeze. Tons of compartments- I love not hearing the video while the kids watch. The power doors/hatch are great- no more kids hitting their heads on the doors. 2nd row windows that roll down are awesome. I could not be happier and now I dont know why I waited so long because the convenience of driving this van far outweighs any "Im never driving a van- SUV holdout" feelings! It is a fantastic vehicle.

  • Tight in the turns - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After 8 years of a Ford Widstar Minivan, and an increasing repair bill, I needed a change. My 2005 Sienna continues to impress me. The tight turn radius is great. The comfort level is impresive. Cant wait to take my family on a long drive so my 4 children can enjoy the DVD player. Im sure it will be a big hit. Great job Toyota! Goodbye FORD!

  • My Wifes Sienna - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We purchased the plain Jane model but even so, this vehicle still comes loaded with features that other car manufacturers would consider options. It is a very nice vehicle. We purchased it after reviewing Consumer Digests reviews of 2004 model vehicles. Our top concerns were safety and dependability. With this vehicle, we have both.

  • Smoothe Jazz - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Like the title says .. smooth Jazz. If you want to take the stress/work out of driving with ALL the room in the world, Sienna is your Van. Like an edmunds.com editor aptly said - the lexus of Minvians. This Van drives like a dream. Even after owning it for more than a year, I still sometimes cant be sure if the engine is on - Silky smooth. Ive put 17k miles on it all over west coast and look forward to enjoy it for years to come. Mileage is great for a car its size.

  • Why get anything else... - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I recently drove 200 miles and kept watch on the gas mileage. It never passed 23.4 mpg and I tried driving fast and slow on the highway hoping itd change but didnt.
