Overview & Reviews

The Toyota Sienna receives more standard equipment for 2006. Most importantly, the formerly optional front side-impact airbags and three-row head-protecting side curtain airbags are standard on all Siennas this year. Other changes include new seat fabric for the CE and LE trims and Optitron gauges for LE, XLE and XLE Limited models. The XLE also has dual power front seats this year, and the XLE Limited gains driver-seat memory. There's also a new power-folding rear seat option on XLE Limited 2WD models. In addition, all Siennas receive a new grille, headlamps, foglamps and taillamp clusters. Finally, revised SAE testing procedures have dropped the van's stated horsepower rating from 230 to 215.

• Smooth ride, refined V6, packed with safety and convenience features, seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations, above-average fuel economy, available all-wheel drive.

• A bit too much lean in the corners, seat comfort and noise isolation could be better, expensive option packages.

  I like the odessey better - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Julie - March 14 - 3:16 pm

  I had purchased a used Odyssey with leather seats and dvd and I loved it but found out it had been crashed and not fixed right so we went back to the dealer and we traded it in for the sienna. I hate the seats, you lean back to rest and it is like laying on a brick, we have 80,000 miles and the a/c is acting up. The cd player and radio for the last 10,000 miles has been very strange some days you cant see any of the words on the radio and then it just stops working then it will work then stop again later. The one thing I noticed is when I accelerate it shifts hard and almost has a jerking noise. It has been really reliable that I am thankful for.

  Smooth car like ride. Smart interior design. Child car seat attachment easy. "Space Age" instrument cluster. Simple controls. Middle second row seat not easy to transition forward.

  Impressed, but not overwhelmed - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By atok - November 20 - 10:33 pm

  I wasnt looking forward to a minivan, but I really like the Sienna. Its fun to drive and looks good. Well built, very useful whether youre hauling a pack of kids or a load of building supplies. Its comfortable, but being 63", the front seats dont go back enough and it feels cramped driving it. Mileage is fine at 20 mpg in mixed driving. We bought it new looking for a reliable car that would last 10 years, and so far its ok, except we have been in the the shop for a few small issues - the CD changer failed twice, wheel noise when turning sharply, automatic rear door was catching/grinding.

  Happy but Expected Better Performance - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Harriet from Texas - October 21 - 5:10 am

  Bodystyle=fabulous. Interior luxury=Lexus. Love flexibility of fold down rear seats & seat configurations. Automatic side & rear doors=priceless. Sound system=awesome w/ great source options. Absolutely agree- needs front cntrl of DVD player. Want to use it w/little kids, have to stop car & climb back. Very disappointed w/ power of engine - has to upshift on slightest hill @ avg wghts-& fuel economy=16.4 mpg @ 50/50 driving. Front psngr seat=very uncomfortable-only 4way- very short& it feels like I’m going to fall out of it; I am only 5’6”. Have not taken it for a long trip-I don’t see being able to sit in the passenger seat for > 1 hr. Back seats=great. Overall=happy but for price- should be thrilled.

  Toyota - I love it! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By D.X. - September 17 - 3:36 pm

  The Sienna is perfect for my familys needs. It is roomy. The seats are VERY comfortable. Even I, at 62" and 210 lbs can sit comfortably in the back seat. The dash displays are clear and easy to see. I am a firm believer in extended warranties on new vehicles. They have always paid for themselves. However, my big fear is on this Toyota I have wasted my money due to the high quality of the vehicle.

  Buy this one! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Chris - September 3 - 10:40 pm

  This minivan is fantastic! It gives a great ride and it is amazing in the snow. I took a 2 hr trip in the heart of a blizzard that left us w/17 inches of snow and the Sienna never even slipped. I didnt get many options as most things I wanted came standard w/ the AWD package (4 wheel disk brakes, ABS, folding 3rd row seat, etc) Ive only had it a couple weeks but I couldnt be happier w/ it so far.

  Love My Sienna - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By lovemysienna - August 25 - 3:10 am

  I read other reviews about the Sienna XLE - not sure if it is that different from mine, but I love my Sienna! We owned a Honda Odyssey - top of the line and while it was a very reliable vehicle, it was a very rough ride. The Sienna is extremely smooth and handles great in any weather including the below 0 temps & snow that we have had in Chicago recently!

  A Dream - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Dave - July 29 - 10:40 am

  After having minivans for over 20 years, we finally got one that has the quality and handling charateristics of a luxury sedan but the room, comfort, accessibilty and safety of your family room. Its quietness, smooth ride, effortless handling make it fun to drive. Having a 1 year old makes us realize the importance of the safety factors and appreciate the thought put into the inclusion of car seats and being able to move the 2nd row seats together. The amount of storage is great. My wife and I compete for which of us gets to drive the Toyota and which has to take the other car.
