  • Great Van with a sleek look - 2005 Toyota Sienna

  • 2005 Sienna - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After owning a Grand Caravan for so many years, this van is a huge leap forward. The Sienna packs a lot of value into a package that doesnt cost that much more than the Caravan. The Sienna has noticebly better desinged and built interior and exterior. The seating is very comfortable and spacious, but the legroom in the third row is a little tight. The six-speaker audio system is excellent, with stunning clarity and a plethora of bass. The ride and handling are also leagues ahead of the Caravan. The stiff unibody construction and finely tuned IRS allows the van to manuever easily with little roll and under- steer. Overall we are pleased with our Sienna because of its value and quality.

  • 2004 Sienna - 2005 Toyota Sienna

    We have had the Sienna for 14 months donw, and I cannot find anything wrong with it. Great performance; easy for the kids to get in and out; the sliding doors and automatic opening and closing rear door are fabulous; the fold flat rear seat works like a dream; handling is good and the car is fun to drive. The only thing I wish is that we had gotten the AWD, not FWD. Great minivan.

  • The Minivan for 2005 - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Test drove all the other minivans available and found the Sienna to be superior by far. Others had better incentives, but the Sienna was worth the the difference. The comfort and security that come with this van is worth the extra cost.

  • I love my Toyota Sienna - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I replaced my 1991 Previa (Toyota) which had 214000 miles with the 2005 Sienna XLE Limited AWD which has the navigation system. This is a must. It can get you to and from anywhere. I have been able to navigate in, out and around Washington DC, Philadelphia, etc., not knowing where I was going. It paid for itself within 4 weeks of having the van. It has a wonderful drive.

  • This Rock Rocks! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I have two GM vans, and cannot believe the difference! This is an amazingly solid and safe-feeling drive. The interior is logical, and the computer works the lights and locks exactly the way I expected! The tri-area heating and cooling is really an argument saving feature!

  • Great minivan for all family needs. - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    This is our first Toyota minivan. We just got back from 3000 mile trip to southern Texas, and Sienna performed very well. I was actually impressed with the gas mileage: on interstate we got consistently 25-26 mpg using medium fuel grade. In town driving something like 17-18 mpg. It is very spacious minivan, and I really like its looks. Our kids just love it!

  • Misleading MPG sticker/poor battery - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We reviewed this car very carefully before before buying and were very impressed. After purchasing though, we found 2 major problems. 1st the battery is not capable of running all of the computer components such as the door open sensor, and still have enough charge to start the car. In the first month we jumped it at least 15 times. Cant leave door open for more than 20 min. or open several times. Service dept. says battery tests fine! 2nd. after 4000 miles we have never gotten better than 16.7 in the best conditions. Averaging less than 15.9. Toyota replies that the sticker is a little misleading, sorry bout that! We will be trading in!

  • Sienna over Odyssey - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I considered only Sienna and 05 Odyssey. The "deal-breaker" -- Siennas rear seat audio (not expensive DVD) option, allows rear seat paxs to listen on headphones to audio even if cabin audio off. Hondas only on leather option, w/ DVD. I ordered XLE w fabric seats. "Picking nits"-- Sienna - rear windows open, 05 Odyssey does not; Siennas max torque comes on lower in RPM, though Odyssey has more and more h.p; Sienna - telescoping steering wheel, driving position felt more comfortable; Siennas suspension smoother over rough roads; MPG right on sticker #s. Odysseys seats seemed more comfortable, but after a 5+5 hr trip, Siennas did fine. Odys floor storeage not easy to use;
