  • Bad Purchase - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I spend more than $35K and got a car with no auto head lights, no turning signal on side mirrors. What kind of car is this? Even a low-end Camry comes with auto head lights now. The wood panel is so cheap looking. Anyway, my wife wants it and that is what she get - a lousy van.

  • Very smooth and comfortable ride - 2011 Toyota Sienna

    We got this van because i am fed up with my Honda CR-V because it is too small, bumpy, worst seat and has horrible road noise. I get stressed out every time i drive within the first 30 minutes. My family went on a long drive to Vegas just last week and it took us 5 hours to get there but it only seemed like 2 hours for me. The van is very roomy and the seat is very ergonomically designed, very comfortable. I like the bluetooth capability, connected the iphone to receive and make calls, and even play your music files wirelessly. I think fuel economy is not bad considering a V6 engine and at constant 85 mph speed. Overall, it is a wise decision to choose the Sienna over the Odyssey.

  • Great van; you need to read the manual! - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    There are so many reviews here that talk about problems that are not really problems. Cant use all the GPS features when the car is moving? Do you know you can talk to it? The voice-activated navigation is amazing on this car; English is not my first language but NEVER ever did the car not understand what I was telling it, whether for GPS use or other things, actually. You think the iPod integration is bad? Dont forget you can stream audio via Bluetooth (with an iPhone for instance) and this works flawlessly. Problem with brakes while going downhill? Use engine-braking with the transmissions manual mode; it is so great to have this. I barely touch the brakes coming down a hill.

  • Swagger Wagon Quality? - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Bought this van when our 2nd child was on her way last June. Immediately loved the practicality and versatility of the interior. It just makes life easy with kiddos in car seats. Also have used it to haul various cargo and people and wondered what we did without it. It drives well for a van with a smooth ride although the steering and brake feel are a little light. The dash plastic is a tad on the cheesy side but the switchgear has a quality feel. Unfortunately so far we have had a window leak, a recall notice for the brake pedal bracket, and now have a stability control problem that has illuminated 4 warning lights and the central info screen. What the heck has happened to Toyota Quality?

  • Excellent 2011 Sienna - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I purchased Sienna from Fremont Toyota with $1000 lower than the invoice price through corresponding e-mails. The newly designed 2011 Sienna has enough room fitting a 6 Ft body comfortably. I had my head banging on the door frame in 2010 Sienna. 2011 Sienna has lots of power with very fast and smooth acceleration. It drives solid with sharp turns. Bluetooth in the car functions very well. People can’t tell I’m using the speaker phone while driving on freeway. 2011 Sienna is very quiet on freeway. The two- step rear separate seats up-down is very lovely. Satellite radio is excellent, clear with high fidelity. All the designs are going through thoughtful process. I can even compare 2011 Sienna

  • Great Trip Van - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We purchased our Sienna 14 months ago and have driven it 19k miles. We still have our 2001 Sienna with 135k miles on it and the new van has improved in every way. Didnt like the van at first because of the ride, but replaced the run flats with normal tires and it now rides and drives like a luxury vehicle. We get about 20 mpg in town and 25 mpg on the road. So far, we are very pleased.

  • Great upgrade, but could be better - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    History of multiple Toyota, Lexus and BMW vehicles. The additional kiddo meant we need to trade in the RX300. Overall, not a bad car, but considering the price on the Limited, there is clear room for improvement for a vehicle that would have been a great transition from a Lexus.

  • The best minivan available - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    XLE trim, 8 passenger version, with XLE premium package. The van is excellent quality and American made. The ride is quiet and smooth, making it an absolute pleasure to drive.

  • Sadly Disappointed - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Been a loyal Toyota fan and currently have a 2006 Sienna XLE. Went to check out the 2011 Limited and have mixed feelings. The exterior is nice and the technology offerings is up with the times. The interior though is very cheap from the leather, stitching, and most of all the front dashboard. I will probably stick with my current Sienna which feels very luxurious or switch to a different maker. Feels like Toyota just released a superficial vehicle hoping no one would notice the low quality inside. Makes me wonder where else they did cost savings.

  • Satisfied so far - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    3-year lease on an XLE. Did not bother to get it with nav or entertainment. Since we have smartphones, this seems like a good choice even a month on. Good looking van. Some questionable exterior design choices (like the presence of a quite visible panel at the lower end of the sliding doors.) Wife loves the black color. Interior is (like many people mentioned) a bit cheap looking, but hey if that bothers you so much, you should not buy it at all. Design of the cabin lights is really bad. The back of the 3rd row along with the appearance of the cargo well is not as polished as the Odyssey. Comm Technology is not good at all. Bluetooth is a hit-or-miss affair.
