  Watch out for the doors! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By L. Bohanon - December 19 - 4:16 pm

  Love this van for the comfort, and space! We have had it in for repair/maintenance on the automatic slider doors several times, the front driver side door broke at the hinge and needed to be totally replaced. This was in the first year that we owned it. We have wanted to give it back, but despite all of the trouble with the doors we love the comfort and space.

  05 Toyota Sienna - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By happy r/c - December 12 - 8:10 pm

  After my horror reliability experience with a 04 Nissan Quest minivan, I replaced it with a 05 Toyota Sienna. Its not trouble free but at least the fixes get fixed the first time UNLIKE Nissan. MINOR ISSUES: - crack in drivers side mirror - broken flip-out drawer below stereo - side-moulding came off due to a bad 2-sided tape MAJOR ISSUES: - Drivers door recalled due to bad weld - 4 yrs/65k miles, rack and pinion steering broke(my cost $1400) - 4 yrs/65k miles, the sliding doors hinge sagged (dealer wanted $1100 for just parts but I bought the $100 part and independent bodyshop replaced it for less) - interior light drains battery when doors left open so we keep lights off

  Sienna LE AWD - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Kreg - November 30 - 2:23 am

  The Toyota is head and shoulders better than previous Venture and Caravan minivans. It rides better and is much quieter. The AWD works great and combined with the ABS and stability control it is nearly impossible to lose control or even spin a tire. There is plenty of room for 7 passengers and the rear seats fold easily into the floor giving a flat cargo area. While the Sienna comes in only one size, it is equal to the Grand or extended models from the competion. The only negatives are the run flat tires that wear very fast & are very expensive and poor gas mileage (17 MPG average).

  Good Van / Avoid Crooked Dealerships - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By j_ly - October 12 - 1:15 pm

  I bought my 2005 Sienna used from a private party in 2007 with 40,000 miles and I have over 130,000 miles on it today. I put new Michelin tires from Sams Club on at 90,000 miles (rotate every 10K) and they still have over half of their tread life. I changed spark plugs and plug wires as well as the timing belt at 110,000 miles. Thats it! I received a recall notice for the spare tire holder so had to bring to dealership. When I got my van back I was told I needed a new radiator ($800) and cabin air filter ($80). I brought the van back to my mechanic and he said the radiator was fine and took 2 minutes to change the cabin filter ($15). That was 15,000 miles ago!

  Love my 05 Sienna XLE - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Lee - August 4 - 12:26 pm

  No problems at all. Totally rattle and squeak free. A little more wind and road noise than Id like, but my last car was a Lexus LS400. Ride is a little firmer than Id like too. Gas mileage is only 13, but its all very short in- city trips. No highway. It is a very fine minivan.

  Disappointing Reliabilitiy - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Dennis - July 8 - 4:26 am

  Great comfortable ride, but over 12 mos consistent problems with electronic transmission, (we have been told there is a recall coming for this issue), power lift gate in cold weather, (comes down unexpectedly while standing under) and now after 20k mi. we are told all 4 Run Flat tires are "bad" and Toyota wont replace. Service manager confirms "this has been a problem with these run flat tires."

  Stay away from 2005... - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By jinxx15 - May 12 - 9:01 pm

  Bought my 2005 Toyota Sienna in June 2009, had it till May 2011. We started to notice a ticking noise coming from below the car, turns out the tranny was done, and we also found out later that week that the radiator was leaking! They wanted 4200$ to fix the darn thing! When we traded it in it for a new car, it turns out that 5 years earlier, the van had been in a 7000$ wreck which Guelph Toyota failed to disclose... I would never go Toyota again.

  A good choice - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Jan - September 30 - 6:20 pm

  We chose the Sienna over the Honda Odyssey. The differences between the two vans are minor to nonexistent. I have read very passonate reviews pro or con the Odyssey/Sienna. If you want to get passonate about a minivan, fine. I recommend going with the dealer that you are most comfortable with (and can give the best price). The Sienna is very comfortable to drive. Snappy power, quality workmanship. The kids love this car.

  Nice van - 2005 Toyota Sienna

  The purchasing experience was acceptable. We shopped and researched for two months before deciding.

  Its a plush bus - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By mr_ruez - April 29 - 5:30 am

  With about 1500 miles on the odometer, I am very impressed with the build quality of this car. There are simply no manufacturing flaws. There are a few minor design annoyances but the good points far outweigh the bad. Mileage is about 20 with mixed driving, expecting it to improve. The interlock that prevents the left sliding door from trashing the gas filler door when its open, has already proven its worth during a refueling stop. The power rear vents are a lifesaver when you have "gassy" children riding with you. It doesnt have the same precise on- center feel as our old Honda van, but that may be due to the tires, or just the fact that its a bigger car.
