  One step forward, half step back. - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Freshies - August 31 - 5:43 pm

  For reference, we owned a 07 Odyssey Touring, test drove the previous gen Sienna & road tripped ~1000mi in this 11. The new Sienna has a significantly improved drivetrain. The engine is strong & passing is easier than in the Odyssey. The steering is accurate though lifeless. And the brakes are better than the Hondas. In terms of driving, the new Sienna & the Odyssey are equal & both are far better than the last gen Sienna. Everything else, however, seems not as good. The plastics are about the cheapest Ive encountered outside a rental car. The road noise is far worse than the last gens. The 2nd row lazy-boy seats are a useless gimmick. The backup cameras display is microscopic.

  Great Revamp of an Excellent Mvan - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By brightsun1 - August 3 - 6:53 pm

  This is our 3rd Sienna. Got the Ltd. w/ front wheel drive. Toyota has made some real improvements. Driving experience is improved in all aspects, quieter, quicker and better brake feel. The Ltd. interior is first rate (dont quite get the weird vinyl texture they adopted on the interior panels). Weve had the Odyssey, and Town and Country. Toyotas is the most relaxed to drive and can carry a ton of stuff. New styling is a little less bland on the outside. New seats and electronics are amazing.

  A great SUV/MiniVan with extras - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By trour - July 21 - 2:00 am

  After 3 Ford and 1 Toyota mini-vans, here is what I think about the Sienna. First of all the $2300 down and 299/mo lease promo with 24 mo free maintenance is crazy cheap. As cheap as the numbers for my previous Sienna w 0% 48 mo (minus what it is worth afterwords). The Sienna drives different then my wives Sienna as the all electric steering seems to not be as nimble in the parking lot, but I was on some back rds in Texas yesterday and that steering was tight, easy and very accurate, all the windows are now auto down, the 4 whl dsc and traction control are std, new knee airbag makes the steering wheel not come down as far..but adj and drv seat works for me.

  Questioning Toyotas Reliability Reputation - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By az29okg - July 18 - 7:27 am

  I purchased the van new and it now has about 106,300 km. This van is now about 4.5 years old and in the last 7 month, Ive had the following problems; (1) air conditioner compress had to be replaced, (2) starter motor failed, (3) Driver power seat failed. Other than these problems, I really enjoyed driving this van.

  Really dont like this car... - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By shallhb - July 14 - 1:29 am

  After really studying min-vans and SUVs, I decided on the Sienna, based partly on friends recommendations, based partly on experience with Lexus (a near Toyota). Purchased a limited in April. What a disappointment!. We paid for a aftermarket navigational device. It never arrived, and we got our money back in August. In September, I hit our gate and damaged a door. the car was in the shop for 5 weeks because Toyota didnt have the parts available (according to the body shop, at least). Its noisy, big and a rough ride. Mine is once again in the shop. Brake trouble this time.

  Nice upgrade of a great van - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By GMP - June 25 - 3:46 pm

  Our third Sienna. Most luxurious van on the market period - as plush as a Lexus LX, but 40K less, and with a better ride, more space and easier access. Has pretty much every techno gadget you would want. Only van with AWD option too. Nice improvements over old model - DVDs now load from front seats, 2nd row seats slide farther/easier, center console slides back, no more annoying nav warning screen and more user friendly nav, ipod now integrated with stereo, great 16" vid screen, run-flats quieter and smoother than previous model.

  Replaces first generation 98 Sienna XLE - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Leigh - June 9 - 2:00 am

  Have 4 kids. Started out thinking I would go with a Large SUV. Happened to see the new Sienna, looked at it and my 14 yo saying she had more room in the back seat..we started minivan shopping! I have a 98 Sienna XLE (kept it, couldnt give it up after 210,000 miles), so I knew the reliability was excellent. Bought 1 mo ago, We love it! Nice driving experience. love almost everything about it. Waited til the Honda Odyssey came out to buy, but Sienna won out (personally thought the Odyssey was ugly as in the back looks like a droopy backside!) and Honda not willing to come off MSRP the first months of release.

  My Best Vehicle Purchase Ever - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By ttw - May 28 - 5:43 pm

  Needed a vehicle that could comfortably carry several adult guests, would also provide good storage for items I need to use in work travel (sometimes including 8 ft. folding tables), and AWD since I live on a steep hill in the country with a good amount of snow and ice. This vehicle is filling the bill in every respect. AWD is not continuous, only when need is sensed, but it does the job. Very comfortable for long trips. Previous cars were Ford LTD/Mercury Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car. (Im no kid.) Ride and comfort are comparable to those, with better handling. Several people who have ridden in it have made favorable comparisons to Lexus, other luxury cars.

  Sienna beats Odyssey - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By bb - May 27 - 9:06 am

  Traded my 07 Odyssey EXL with RES for this beauty. Honda had horrible road noise bumpy ride torque converter in transmission replaced along with power steering pump all in less than 40,000 miles. Not to mention very squeaky side doors. Thought I was driving a Chrysler product. Toyota is so smooth soft ride and more comfortable 8th seat.

  Happy With Sienna - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By wardw - March 8 - 4:50 pm

  This is first Toyota ever. I have always avoided them due to the rip-off junk and fees Southeast Toyota adds on to the stickers. They still do it but are doing a little better job of hiding them. At any rate, I bought it because of the large amount of space between the first and second row seats (due to the second row seats long travel). While yes, some of the dash components are cheap, I can live with it. They at least made an effort to make a minivan look different. The engine is smooth and the new six speed trany works well.
