  Still gives the biggest bang for the buck - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By stabler1 - August 18 - 2:42 pm

  Just bought a LE V6 FWD. This is my 2nd Sienna following the 04 and my 4th mini van in total. Considered Highlander and Pilot also. Pilot is high maintenace with the short timing belt change cycle nonsense plus the guzzling yet weak engine. Highland is good over all but it is simply more money for a less car compared to Sienna. The new Odyssey is simply too ugly in my taste. The new van drives good feels very stable on free way speed. like the LEs backup camera and XM radio. Like the front floor pad area which is a perfect place for putting a lady hand bag or something. The power drivers seat is very supportive and comfortable. 2nd row seats have more than enough lag room for most

  Toyota Heading the way of GM - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Toyotanomore - July 18 - 3:06 pm

  Have Sienna for 2 kid family and one on the way. Purchased for leather and DVD player. Very disappointed. Complex dashboard distracting from driving experience, readout display busy. Plastics are awful, buttons and lever feels like they will snap off in your hand. Front seats very comfortable, rear seats roomy, but awkward for anyone over 510". Feels like it was designed for short, obese people. Reeks of cost cutting and poor ergonomics. Ride OK but get seasick at high speed. V6 motor/transmission hunts a lot: revs without oomph. Handling also awkward, too much curb weight. Trunk huge, but hard to load. Rear seat already broken, stability control/DVD keep giving problems.

  Toyota Grossinger - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By sawsanz - June 13 - 7:06 pm

  Not only is my car an amazing fit for my family and I, but its performance is great as well. Also, when driving long distances with children its great to be comfortable which we definitely are. I I am most grateful to the sale person at Toyota Grossing, Sargon C, without whom I wouldnt have been able to pick the best fit for us. He made my experience wonderful and easy. There were no complications and it was the best customer service I have received.

  So Far, a Great Decision. - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By SamS. - May 27 - 11:46 pm

  First Toyota Ive ever owned. Great experience so far. Interior design has a fresh, crisp look. Plastic seems a little on the cheap side, but the panels fit together nicely. Full function of the interior lights takes some time to figure out. Excellent visibility, terrific head lights, and one of the best suspensions Ive ever had on a vehicle. Steering is utterly effortless, almost freakishly so. Has a wonderfully tight turning radius for a vehicle of this size. Stow and go seats in rear are a snap to work, and function well. So big and roomy on the inside that my daughter now frequently requests to go play in it! Plenty of engine, and a butter-smooth transmission to boot.

  Great Van - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Alex - May 23 - 11:23 am

  So far I only put 350 miles so cant comment on long term durability. But I drove 06 Odyssey Touring a few times so Ill use Odyssey as benchmark. I like the Sienna ride better (I came from BMW 5 series with sport package. To me, the Sienna is ideal for a family hauler), quieter than Odyssey, ride is not as firm/bouncy, handling is about the same. The transmission shifts smooth. Interior looks modern but lack the quality I expected. I feel the Odyssey interior trim/buttons are well made, Sienna feels cheap, especially compare to BMW and Acura (maybe not a fair comparison but the van cost 30k+). Mileage is good, I got 28 mpg (from MID) for almost all highway driving.

  One of the blunders I made - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By BG - April 20 - 1:30 am

  As if the buying experience was less haunting, the new sienna that I bought makes be regret every minute I drive it. One of the blunders I made when I didnt test drive other minivans before buying the Sienna just because it had AWD. I wish I listened to my friends who bought the Odyssey. The engine is so noisy, especially during acceleration, sometimes during turning quickly, the steering wheel seems non- responsive and of course it is a little too big to make driving fun. The acceleration is not always the same sometimes it is good while sometimes, it doesnt shift to the next gear. The dash looks like cheap plastic. I have been in the drivers seat only and I do not like it.

  Sienna 2011 has brake problems! - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By ncadriver - March 17 - 3:00 pm

  I have been a loyal Toyota customer since Id first started driving. Therefore, I have bought many Toyota vehicles for personal use and work. Id just gotten a new Sienna. We have not driven more than 3000 miles before we realized that the car shakes while we went down the hill and try to apply the brake. I took it to the dealer and was told that the brake rotor has overheated because this car is heavier, and IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE ITEM. I was so disappointed because this is a brand new car, and I was told that there is nothing they could do because its Wear and Tear. Wear & Tear with 3000 miles? I understand if I had driven many miles and car had heavy loads, but not in this case.

  Best MiniVan ever - Period - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By samtheman10 - February 22 - 11:08 pm

  Just cant get over the fact how good this van is despite bad publicity on Toyota vehicles. Test drove the 2011 Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Town and Country etc. They are no match. Excellent price! well worth it. I will buy Toyotas from now on! Heck with the media!

  Yup. Its a minivan - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By kevin - February 9 - 7:56 am

  Not really into minivans. We were looking at a Venza, but with 3 boys in hockey, we quickly decided we need the room. Plus the Sienna was about $2000 less than the Venza. Had it now for close to a month. Have had a problem with the stereo, and the transmission seems to hold gears a little long. The steering is also uninspiring. Im a little disappointed that there is no LED interior lighting and what is with the mast antenna? yea l stole that part from another review, but l feel the same way. After seeing what the 2011 Odyssey is going to look like, Im glad l bought this one

  Empty Nesters Favorite - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Gr8WhiteNortherner - January 29 - 2:00 am

  IMHO this is the nicest-looking 2011 minivan. The front end is much more attractive than gen-2 and rear-end design (especially the taillights) is an outstanding improvement. Meanwhile successive Odyssey redesigns have become quirkier/weirder. (Did a bolt of lightning strike the rear section, causing it to sag?) Our third minivan - It is much quieter, roomier and has far more driver legroom and seat comfort than 02 Odyssey EX-L. Center console intrudes far less than 07 Entourage GLS-L. Gas mileage is significantly better than either. It handles well, very stable in cross-winds and has ample power. AND... Our ownership experience has proven Toyota to have the highest reliability .
