  Nice but beware - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By cicero - February 13 - 9:53 am

  Generally nice but would not get DVD or NAV again. NAV system is terrible, hard to use with weak interface and weird quirks, and chooses bad routes (e.g.: business 1 not express 1). NAV and many features cant be adjusted while driving, even by passenger. Wireless headsets dont work well in 3rd row, without headsets answering phone turns off DVD. DVD does not just start movie, you have to pull off the road to change movies. Radio has poor interface in many regards, no way to scan from steering wheel for instance. iPod interface can play audio but not video, so forget downloaded movies.In short, love the car but the electronics get 2 out of 10

  Just purchased - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By siennadaddy - January 12 - 3:53 pm

  Just purchased 2011 Sienna XLE FWD with Nav pkg. Silver Sky Metallic. Since the car has only 100 miles on it, cant tell hows the mileage. Drives and feels like Lexus. Very quiet cabin and minimal wind noise. Turning radius is great. When compared to 2009 Odyssey EX-L with nav and RES (my brother has one), feels much luxurious, quieter, better leather material.

  72,000kms in uncomfortable driver seat - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By tip4u - January 8 - 6:42 am

  I have asked to replace seat with a better one but toyota didnt t have that option.I offered to buy the seat at my expense. Windshield is cheap .middle row is a bad design I am 6ft1" and have trouble lifting the seat out.then the rails are exposed .I would go back to north americian van for comfort. Tires are cheap . Van looks good performance is good . Cargo space and fuel economy are both good. Cabin filter ? Who needs that expense? Chevy bring back a 8 seater with your comfort.

  Door broke and Toyota cant fit it - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By dontbuyatoyo - December 27 - 1:34 am

  The drivers side door on our new Sienna does not work. We have taken it to the dealer three times. The dealer and the national Toyota repair people do not know how to fix this. Toyota will not provide a loaner. When we called to request arbitration paperwork, we were told it would take 10-14 business days. I strongly believe this is an unethical business practice. We will continue to seek damages under state law and will never buy a Toyota again.

  Definitely improved and worth it. - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Ty - December 4 - 6:13 pm

  We looked at minivans for years before finally buying this. It was not so much the soccer-mom stigma but also the price as you get into the more loaded models. We did not want a stripped down model since this was also for the long trips and outings. The Honda was ok but uncomfortable, lacked the refinement and was too rough-riding for the family. This new Sienna is not spongy but not harsh either. The interior is astonishing and the bells and whistles make a 10 min show-off session to neighbors and relatives. The kids love it and just want to hang out in it all day and my wife proudly calls it the Swagger Wagon. LTD is expensive but compares very well to what 40k buys these days.

  Good Mileage, Adequate Transport - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By greenvan2011 - December 3 - 6:08 pm

  Bought Sienna new in 2010, now have 48K on it. Mileage is great - 20 mixed and 25+ hwy. Engine has lots of zip to pass. Interior plastics and trims feel a little cheap. Leather only OK. Price to buy was descent compared to crossovers. Towing capacity is a lie - there is a 45 MPH speed limit, special hitch, and electric brakes required. Had a problem that was quasi-warranty and Toyota dealer and corporate was absolutely positively without a doubt useless. Even though we like the van in general have put Toyota on our do not buy list.

  Uber Impressive - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By D and D - November 27 - 4:56 am

  This is our 3rd minivan and our last. The Sienna is the most impressive van I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I researched vehicles for approximately 5 months. Many test drives. Many consumer reviews. Many talks with owners of vehicles considered. The Sienna was the best value for the features we have. The vehicle moves nearly silently down the road at highway speed. Extremely smooth ride and very agile handling. The vehicle is firmly planted to the road and is very easy to drive and control. I found the vehicle to have a higher stance and better visibility than the other vans. I am very tall, and the Sienna offers the best driving room for my stature. Arguably the best on the market.

  Functional and fun! - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By ginzero - November 20 - 7:36 am

  I have two kids and our Rav4 was just too cramped. Also needed to carry visitors/cargo and go on long road trips. Test drove 2010 Dodge Caravan and Odyssey. The Sienna had smoother shifting of the three and had the most power. Cabin noise was less than the Caravan and about the same as the Odyssey. The Caravan had the most interior function of the three. I went with with a 3 year lease and the Sienna was the best value for my needs. I think the LE is the sweet spot model for the Siennas; lots of features for $28k. The SE model drives slightly better but its a mini-van, if you want performance look elsewhere. If you want a people mover get this. +1000 miles 20 mpg avg.

  X-Dodge Owner Not Looking Back - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By New2Toyota - November 20 - 1:00 am

  Previously owned 3 Grand Caravans. The first thing we noticed about the Sienna was the smooth and quiet ride, wow! The fit and finish are beautiful/sporty with a bit of "Swagger"! The gas mileage is good for a vehicle of this size and power. U-turns in tight spaces are no longer a problem. This van has the best turning radius of any weve owned! Another nice touch is the rear windows wiper blade. It is placed at the top of window, hidden under the rear "spoiler". Since two of our three children are now in their teens it is very nice that the cabin is so roomy. The whole family is pleased with this van.

  Good purchase overall - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By lynn - September 6 - 10:00 am

  Being someone young without kids, the thought of a minivan haunted me at night, but after outgrowing my sequoia and the poor mpg I looked at the new sienna. After shopping multiple dealers, ended up saving 4k off sticker price. It drives VERY nice! Drives like a car yet the room of a full size suv with way better mpg. So far around 21-22 mpg combined driving. Nice interior although sunroof is a joke, only opens about 1/3 of the way. Navigation was worth the $$. Still cant believe no auto-lights in a $38k vehicle. With a bad back, I was a little disappointed with seat comfort. The heated seats help though. Besides the minivan stigma, Im happy with my purchase.
