Poor Sienna gas mileage - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By San Diego - April 10 - 1:20 amSold our rock solid 99 Sienna after 130K problem free miles. We were looking forward to improved MPG. Dont believe Toyotas claim. This model is a gas hog, about the same as our 4WD Sequoia. If you need a van for around town expect about 15.5MPG. Our old Sienna was much better. We suspect the trans - the newer tranny is constantly shifting in town (the old was smooth as butter - the new is jerky and noisier). It appears Toyota traded city MPG for better highway MPG - a shame since most people use vans for driving the kids around town. The other beef is with the armrests on the captains chairs - not sure who they designed them for, but they dont line up with my arms or my kids.

Was in love, but now just in like... - 2005 Toyota Sienna
By wismom - March 24 - 7:32 amLoved this van when I bought it used in 2009. Spacious interior, reliable. Then it let me down. I opened the sliding passenger door and it wouldnt shut. Tried to override to manual...but no luck. Still wouldnt shut. Called Toyota, they filed a claim and provided a # then said management occassionally reviews. But they could do nothing. Called dealership and they said theyve never heard of such a thing. Went online and TONS of Sienna owners are dealing with the same issue. Apparently it is with the cable in the door. It either frays, jambs, or has other issues. Cutting the cable is a quick cheap solution and works! Now I carry a wire cutter for when the other door fails.
