  Better than expected - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By brifromwi - February 23 - 8:48 pm

  After much debate, we sold our 2005 Sienna XLE and found a great deal on a 2011 Sienna Limited ($2200 under invoice!). The ride is superior to our 2005; I would describe it as more "plush". The interior cabin noise is much improved over the 05 as well. Overall, in our mind, the Sienna beats the honda and the nissan hands down. The ability to move the second row so far back was what sold us on the Sienna. Overall, we are really happy with the purchase.

  Unbelievable Drive!! - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By dustino - November 6 - 6:42 am

  This Vehicle is Worth every last cent!! Went in to trade our 08 Nissan Quest in and wasnt totally sold that I wanted to be upside down in the loan but after driving this vehicle for 2 min I knew we had to have it. The smooth steering and the way this van glides on the road is very impressive.

  Swagger Wagon Rocks! - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By GatorKeithB - October 25 - 2:00 am

  We avoided the minivan like none other. But after going to the auto show we narrowed it down to either the Buick Enclave or the Sienna SE. This was as we wanted a car with three rows so as to be able to get back to the kids as well as take the grandparents. We test drove the Sienna SE Swagger Wagon the day after the show, and ending up buying the day after. This is the first minivan that actually turned my head due to styling, and you just cant beat Toyo reliability vs unknown GM reliability (imo). So far, only having it for a week, we are really enjoying it. I love the styling in and out, rides great on the 19" low profile tires, and has tight steering and feel.

  Uncomfortable seat - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Bruce - September 9 - 8:06 am

  I start lease this van from May. Exterior design is best compared with others. But seat quality is no good even compared with previous model yr2007 & 2005 which we had. Only 1 hour drive, my wife complained this seat is terrible and I agreed. Im not talking about material and design. I felt like sit on sponge. Toyota should learn more from Germans car seat.

  New 2011 Sienna SE - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By PghRegi - February 1 - 5:56 pm

  Just brought home the new 2011 Sienna SE days ago. Loving it so far! I traded in a 1999 Grand Caravan (loved that one also!). The Sienna ride is stiffer than my G. Caravan, but probably a good thing as I feel more in control of the vehicle, especially when cornering. I am disappointed that the rear quarter windows are not powered on the SE. I believe they are on the XLE and Limited. Also, there doesnt seem to be a compass feature on the trip computer display, had one on the old G. Caravan and miss it now. We wanted the "sportier" look of the SE though--it has to be the best looking van on the road today! So far, after 4 days, we are happy with our purchase.

  Sienna SE is pretty good, but could be better - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By stratpack - September 8 - 4:13 am

  we choose the Sienna based on build quality (I work for a Toyota supplier). The reliability seems to be there, but Toyota went cheap on a couple of things. The interior plastics belong on a lowly Kia, they are hard to the touch and Im guessing will be prone to sqeaking in due time. The sliding doors stick frequently. The van is fun to drive, for a van, the steering is precise and the handling on the SE is probably the most fun of all minivans. The looks are pretty aggressive and hats off to Toyota for putting 19" rims on it, giving the van a sporty stance. Swagger wagon marketing is valid on the SE.

  Good family car, need to improve some designs - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By juan_preciado - August 9 - 5:36 am

  I change this van, upgrading from a 07 Honda Oddysey, I have more than a year with it, and will said that I miss the honda, but this have some new features, like the electric power steering, that is a big difference from a hydraulic one, this will make the city drive more comfortable, but I think, I need more attention to drive on the road, because steering is so soft to move. I believe that the honda had better aceleration on the start (low RPM). The new dessing for the middle seat are not rigth, the seat are getting too hard to move, my wife can not move them anymore, and the floor mat get stuck under the seat very often. The front seat has the problem that the plastics keep falling off.

  Refreshing - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By stew - July 16 - 11:20 am

  After two windstars which I was happy with I decided to buy this Toyota after driving all the others first. This is better then the 2010 Honda but nothing wrong with any of them. The difference from the windstar is night and day. Hwy mileage so far is as advertised 24 mpg. At 75 miles per hour. The only thing I dont care for so far is the back up camera/screen, its way too small. Other than that I simply love this van and so does my wife who is a Honda fan.

  Some good, some bad - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By random1 - April 14 - 10:00 am

  We use the minivan largely for road trips with the family, dog, and gear. The good - very nice looking, quiet and comfortable. Build quality/reliability should be excellent, everything fine so far. Powerful engine, cavernous interior, very nice steering wheel! The bad - the cheap dash plastic and faux-wood trim are horrible. Climate controls are awkward, dash layout is pretty poor, radio controls hard to reach from driver seat. The front cup holders are huge-good luck using them for cups that normal size. Amazing that all these simple things are so poorly executed. The van handles like a boat-its soft and floaty even for a minivan, Honda and Chrysler both drive better.

  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
