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.

Phenomenal minivan - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By Jeff - November 12 - 5:26 amThis minivan is truly a pleasure to drive. After driving a 98 Plymouth Voyager for almost 9 years, this van is phenomenally comfortable. I give this minivan 2 thumbs up!!

Fun New Ride! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By OutWhit - October 28 - 1:30 amIve upgraded from a 2001 Sienna XLE and boy are the improvements great! Quiet ride with better storage areas than my old version. The Sienna is now boxier which gives a much larger interior space. My kids love the power tilt chairs in the 3rd row. Cant get them to sit in the middle row very often. Liked the AWD, but didnt get it due to the lack of a spare and the run- flat tires are EXPENSIVE to replace and apparently wear out fairly fast.

Nice family van! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By Mark - April 30 - 7:36 pmI drove the Toyota Sienna everywhere! Its a wonderful minivan for errands, trips, hauling people and passengers. The seats are extremely comfortable. I really like the quad to bench seat style, I think thats pretty cool but you have to unhook the seat and haul it over to the next jack. Honda and Mazda make it easier, you just slide them back and forth. The power stowing 60/40 split bench is awesome and helpful. The power sliding doors open pretty fast. Also the power liftgate is pretty cool and helpful. The van is great for everyday needs. It climbs up hills pretty well. There is a lot of little storage areas but theyre pretty small. I also like the built in pull up window shades.

The Best Mini Van in the Market - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By samal - April 20 - 7:46 amNo other Van in the market can beat the performance and the features this van has got. More comfort and standard items than a Honda. Great van for a family. Kids use their Xbox and wireless headphones gives real peace for us.

This is my wifes car - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By dad - April 19 - 3:36 amThis is the first new car I have ever purchased, so compared to everything I have ever owned in the past, this is a dream. It has nice styling, LOTS of interior room, second row windows that roll down, LOTS of cupholders, and the "front and center" middle seat in the second row. Handling is superb, but the engine seems underpowered at times. Gas mileage is within the EPA estimates. Drivers seat is comfortable, even without the power controls. It seems that Toyota is very concerned with having the best minivan around, and they have gone out of their way to add little details that will appeal to the type of people to will drive their vehicles.

Perfect Mommy Van - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By Leesa - March 11 - 7:06 amI just have to say that I love my car, its so perfect for a mommy, I think it must have been designed by a mommy, it has EVERYTHING you need to make your drive easy and fun. I tried all the vans but nothing even compared to the Sienna, I love everything about it, the inside is like an airplane, its big and has so many little compartment and drink holders, mine has a DVD and 3 car seats and still lots of room for 3 adult passengers, I just love my car, it was a perfect car for me. I never thought I would be one of those "moms" who drove a mini-van, but here I am, driving one and feeling very proud of it.

Love my new Sienna XLE - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By TXMom - January 21 - 8:40 amI have only had my new Sienna XLE for a week but so far I love it. I had a large SUV before getting this and I was worried about making the move to the "Minivan" but I am so glad I did. The 3 zone climate control is great. Having the dual power sliding doors makes getting the kids in and out much easier. Plus it gets a lot better gas mileage than my SUV was getting!

Does it all... - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By jgoff - January 18 - 6:40 amWe were looking to replace the 1996 MT Car of the Year which was the Dodge Grand Caravan. After having that vehicle, we didnt think we could do without a van. Our 2006 Sienna LE AWD does everything our old van did, plus its got AWD traction, and better ground clearance (6.9"). Exterior dimensions are near identical to our old van. Power is similar, but brakes are far superior. Seating versatility is very good, but both vans have their pluses in this regard. The Sienna seemed quieter and a better ride than the Odyssey. Storage and versatility are strong points for this vehicle. Storage is everywhere....even the arm rests! My only concern so far is the run flat tires with no spare.

Good Job Toyota - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By DETROD - December 1 - 5:20 pmFirst of all let me start by saying that the Sienna and the Odyssey are the best minivans on the market today. They both are the most stylish and have the best quality. I looked at both minivans and what swayed me to choose the Sienna was the price. I just found that I could get the same quality, or better, in the Sienna and not pay as much. I do think that the Odyssey is a better looking minivan but the Sienna isnt far behind. I love the Siennas interior features. Its very comfortable for everyone (average for those sitting in the third row). Nontheless, if you purchased the Sienna or the Odyssey you didnt go wrong!

Sienna - 2006 Toyota Sienna
By analyzerlx - November 19 - 7:30 amWeve driven the Sienna throughout the U.S. and have nothing but praise for this minivan. The gas mileage has been great, averaging approx. 550 miles per tank and the van is very comfortable compared to other vans Ive been in. I am happy with the Sienna.
