This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Smooth ride, refined V6, packed with safety and convenience features, seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations, above-average fuel economy, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • A bit too much lean in the corners, seat comfort and noise isolation could be better, expensive option packages.

  • Luv my Van! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I love having such a safe vehicle. I wasnt in the market per se for a van but the safety ratings sold me. I have a small child and her well-being is #1. I also was very impressed w/ the vans handling in the snow. My van out performed my husbands Silverado 1500! We were both in shock. Overall my van is safe, beautiful and reliable. I know it will last me far beyond my car payments. If you dont mind the initial teasing of being called a soccer mom, this is the vehicle to have.

  • Van review - 2006 Toyota Sienna

    I purchased my van to replace a small car. The Sienna has been the best car purchase I have ever made. It is also the 28th car I have owned.

  • My Dream Car - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We love our car. The space is amazing. The features are so much fun. I feel as if I am driving on air. My 6 year old is in heaven. I feel like the four of us each have our own space. The is so much storage. With kids it allows for a place for everything. We really love the headrest DVDs. We cannot wait to go on a road trip. This is our second Toyota. We had a Highlander previously, and loved it. The Sienna is even better. Way to go Toyota! This is luxury in a family car.

    Great minivan, gas mileage is not as good as I expected. I average about 17 mpg around home in the suburbs.

    Even allowing for the "new car euphoria" the Sienna just performs well in almost all respects. My wife is very impressed, and to her a car is usually just a car. Great ride, lots of nice features, and the gas mileage is acceptable for a vehicle this size and weight.

  • Nice Ride - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After 5 months and 7500 miles of driving, I have a pretty good feel for the Sienna. Its a nice ride! After several trips to Las Vegas from LA fully loaded, it didnt even break a sweat going up the Baker grade, even with the AC going. The real test of a nice ride is how you feel after a long drive and I never felt any fatigue at all. Its very roomy inside. Able to throw lots of people and gear inside with room to spare.

  • Love Our Sienna! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I had to turn in my company vehicle which was a Ford Freestar and couldnt get another one so we needed a van. Once you have one you cant live without it, I found, very much to my surprise. So we traded my wifes Camry Solara for a Toyota Sienna (her idea!). We tried out a Honda EX-L (Very close competitor, better back seat, but bumpier ride.) and the Hyundai Entourage (Watch out Toyota and Honda, these guys mean business, great van at a great price, better ride than the Honda). It rides like a luxury car. The interior is extremely comfortable. Heated seats, MP3 capable stereo, aux jack, power doors, storage, reconfig options, all great. We bought it to last 10 years and I bet it does.

    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.

  • Toyota - I love it! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    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 -

    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.
