AWD tires gotcha - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By Justin - May 29 - 2:30 pmI have the 2004 XLE AWD. Dunlop run flat tires lasted 27k (more than others), and cost $300 each to replace at the dealer. Probably should have been replaced sooner, based on how bad they looked. Toyota no help - tried to blame it on my inflation levels - suggested using higher than recommended pressure. Spare tire kit is available, but I bought the van for the fold-down seats, and use them all the time - why give that up? Might get regular tires next time, and carry a spare on the roof rack...

Great Ride XLE pkg 8 - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By Patrick - May 14 - 3:46 pmThis is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have 2 children now and another on the way. We have plenty of room for the entire family. The DVD keeps the kids attention on longer drives and the 2 power doors and tailgate are true life savers at the supermarket, daycare, etc. Make sure to get both of these options....Hands Free ! I cant say enough about the comfort of this van. It is a true pleasure to drive. I did my homework on all minivans on the market and this is by far the best, even over 2005 honda. Do yourself a favor and pay an extra 2k for this vehicle.

BEST MINIVAN OVERALL ON THE PLANET - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By Colin Bolger - April 30 - 11:20 amVery pleased with it, except for the poor gas mileage. I am a VERY conservative driver and got only 17 mpg (with premium fuel!) on the highway, precisely what a neighbor gets with his new Sienna. I took both the Sienna and Odyssey on three extended test drives and found the Odyssey to have a decided edge in acceleration & sporty handling on twisting roads (no lean on turns when pushed!), partly due to its lower center of gravity. But who buys a minivan to drive like a Ferrari? (I think Consumer Reports and Edmunds have a sporty handling bias; hence Odysseys ratings edge.) The Sienna is more refined, quiet, plush, has very good handling and acceleration and was the best overall, hands down.

Better than any SUV!! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By Baliezer - April 24 - 11:56 amI had a fully loaded Lincoln Navigator before. My 2 and 4 year old were always hitting other cars with their door or could not close them. I wanted something with the same features but more kid friendly. The Toyota Sienna Limited had more. The kids love it. I love it, and it is actually lighter than the navigator so it travels faster!

Wonderful Van! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By Allan - April 5 - 10:43 pmMine is a 2004 bought just before 2005s came out. Has everything, navigation, DVD, you name it. Have owned it over a year, about 25000 miles, not a single problem except minor hesitation due to computerized accelerator instead of cable. I also have a brand new Lexus RX 330, and I actually like the Toyota better. Great for running around town or for long trips. Friends are always impressed with the ride, comfort, features. Im spoiled, though. No other car Ive seen has everything this car has -- and it has space and versatility!! I hope this one never goes away. I get decent (not great) mileage, have had it in heavy snow. The AWD performs almost as well as my Land Rover. Great car!

Best Vehicle Ever - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By oldsfun - March 28 - 9:06 pmI am not a minivan person, but after driving the Sienna, I was converted. It is the best riding, handling, and roomiest vehicle on the market. The price is higher, but you get what you pay for. I drove all of the GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda and Kia. The Toyota was the best! The overall vehicle is the best minivan on the market. This is a Camry with a lot of room!

First Toyota - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By Blue4305 - January 31 - 9:56 amThe only difficult choice was what color. The Sienna is perfect for the little ones and great for pulling our 18 ski boat. We have owned it for 15 months. It is such a great van. We have even hauled 4x8 sheets of plywood with the back door shut. The only service we need to do is change the oil and wash it every now and then. I had to suck up a lot of pride to go into a minivan, yet find myself sneaking the keys away from my wife and leaving her my Lincoln LSV8. As soon as I send this I must go out and pop the hood to look at the engine of the Sienna, I truly have never seen it!!
