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.

  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.

  What a Comfortable Ride - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By DiversWife - May 28 - 11:40 am

  Im not sure about why other reviewers said this vehicle was uncomfortable. I have the leather seat upgrade and just spent a weeks worth of traveling in this vehicle (riding in the 3rd row) and found it to be VERY comfortable! The first time I drove my new van I was amazed at how it felt like I was driving my moms Lexus. It rode so smooth and felt very solid. Coming from a 98 Honda Civic to this is a HUGE change! The twins fit very comfortably in the van, as well as the two Dobermans, the cat, hubby and lots of luggage. Its also quite sporty so I dont feel like an old soccer mom when Im driving it!

  Drive it right and youll get 20 mpg! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Steve - April 10 - 5:36 am

  First, never thought Id buy a minivan, but very glad I did! Im getting 22.1 mpg in the city and I say that if you are only getting 14, then blame your foot, not the van! Id like to know how it will tow, but cant find any info (thinking of buying a pop up). I love my van even though I didnt go for all the extras. For higher mpg, USE CRUISE CONTROL where ever possible, even in city! Coast down big hills! I cant believe there is no power to the cigarette lighters when the key is off!

  Great Minivan - 2006 Toyota Sienna

  Great car - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Allan - December 25 - 2:20 pm

  Just traded up from my 2004 limited AWD model to the 2006. Great improvements. I loved the 2004, and the 2006 is that much better. The Bluetooth phone interface is much better than on my wifes Lexus, and the ride is quieter and smoother than 2004. The navigation system is improved functionally and cosmetically -- the graphics are better (especially when showing freeway lanes), and it gives more accurate directions than the 2004. The memory seats and power passenger seat are appreciated. Like the larger DVD screen in rear. With AWD, I did not get the power rear seat, but not a big deal. Seats are so easy to lower anyway. Great car to drive, and my passengers enjoy riding in it.

  love it - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By s. munger - November 13 - 5:06 am

  We just got the 06 LE 8 passenger. Very functional for our family with 2 kids. Drives nice, lots of room, interior can be changed to fit our needs, good fuel economy (compared to my prior SUV). The ride could be a little quieter tho.

  2006 Sienna LE - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Jerry - October 17 - 8:23 pm

  You can put me in the category of somebody who never thought theyd own a minivan. However, it just made sense for my family. And Im exceptionally glad I made the decision. Plenty of room for everybody, tons of space for stuff, very quiet and comfortable, and actually doesnt look too bad (silver).

  no longer afraid of minivans - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Chris Nichols - August 27 - 10:10 am

  I enjoy driving the sienna. I was very surprised on just how much it handles like a car. The style and ride of this van makes me wonder why I was afraid of minivans in the first place. I drove a kia previously and can feel, see, and enjoy the difference between the two. Although I have only had had the vehicle for 3 weeks it has surpassed what I was expecting
