Entering its second full model year of production at Toyota's Kentucky plant, the Sienna minivan gets a right-side power-sliding door.

Dont Buy This Car! - 1999 Toyota Sienna
By BurnedBeth - February 2 - 2:00 amI have owned many cars in the past. My most important criteria in a car is reliability. My Sienna is 4.5 years old with 48k miles and I have to spend $1300 replacing all 6 fuel injectors - not covered by the 5 yr 60k warranty. Toyota does not stand by its products. I have never had to spend so much on any car - even those I had for 10 years! The first month we had the car the master cylinder for the ABS failed and left us with no brakes. There are so many vans to choose from - Dont choose a Toyota Sienna.

Toyota Sienna Minivan Expeirance - 1999 Toyota Sienna
By Jessicca Riehl - November 24 - 10:00 amSludge or Oil Gel problem, Had to have engine replaced, blamed poor maintence on consumer, not the case! Have owned toyotas for 20 yrs., the rest have all been fine. Side passanger doors stick which is a saftey issue, they just keep lubing the doors instead of replacing the mechanisims in the handle till the door handle broke off, which they made us pay for.

A big disappointment - 1999 Toyota Sienna
By Sad owner - August 26 - 10:00 amI have owned Toyotas for years. I had always been happy with their quality and reliability - until now. I have had nothing but problems with this van and been blamed repeatedly by the dealer for all the problems. Its funny that I take care of all my Toyotas the same way and none of them ever had any problems like this. The engine is destroyed by oil sludge. Its in the shop getting a new engine right now. The interior of the van is falling apart. The vanity mirrors fell off. The door buttons stick in the down position so you cant close the door. I haul my kids around in this van and it needs to be safe and reliable. This van is WAY off base for that.

Plastic Door Handles - 1999 Toyota Sienna
By PlasticToyotas - December 7 - 2:33 amWhy on Earth would ANY car company use plastic door handles that break continuously? We are extremely gentle on the handles since we discovered this scam that Toyota has. The handles still break. Since buying this van all of the door handles have been broken at least once and some have broken more than once. Again, we are very gentle with the door handles and they still break. This is such an issue with me that I will NOT buy another Toyota that has plastic parts that are pulled on. My drivers door handle just cost $125 (parts only) at the dealership, the only place locally to get the parts. I have no plans to ever buy a Toyota again because of this.

The good, the bad, and the . . . - 1999 Toyota Sienna
By jgp - March 16 - 8:26 pmBought this van new as a replacement for 1989 Mazda MPV. Good power and handling (for a minivan) and a very comfortable highway cruiser. Adequate luggage space with all seats up and excellent with rear seats folded or removed. Good size - longer than the MPV and shorter than the Chrysler, Honda, etc. Generally good reliability except for the power sliding door (see below).
