Overview & Reviews

Buyers looking for a smart choice in the minivan segment will undoubtedly find themselves considering the Toyota Sienna. Since its introduction in 1998, the Sienna has won over families with its versatility, features, safety record and reputation for reliability.

In reviews, we've lauded the Sienna for its smooth, refined ride and easy-to-drive nature. Another plus is that Toyota has generally offered all-wheel drive on the Sienna, making it a more practical alternative to large three-row crossover SUVs. More recent Siennas can be downright plush in higher trim levels, and there's even an SE model with a sport-tuned suspension that's genuinely sporty. Whichever version you choose, you'll be getting one of the most dependable and rewarding minivans on the market.

  Sienna - 2007 Toyota Sienna
  By ocean - September 21 - 8:40 pm

  Our sienna is a well designed minivan, and I am very happy with the 3.5 liter V6 and 266HP. And the 3rd seat is easy to stow and useful.

  Its great at what it tries to do. - 2008 Toyota Sienna
  By lenan - September 19 - 6:16 pm

  As far as people carrying minivans go, it really doesnt get a whole lot better than this. For one, this is a very comfortable and roomy car. The leather seats are pretty good and the ride is silky smooth. Gas mileage isnt very good (Weve average about 18-19 mpg mostly on the highway), but thats the price you pay for having a large vehicle with a V6 and AWD. Speaking of the V6, its a quality engine. It generally revs very smoothly and theres more power on tap than anyone driving a minivan needs. So far its been quite reliable reliable. There have been no big repair costs outside of general maintenance.

  If you have captain chair in 2nd row beware! - 2008 Toyota Sienna
  By roadtripmom - September 17 - 1:56 pm

  This is my fourth Toyota I have owned so naturally its a brand I think I can trust. We bought van with the 2 captain chairs with arm-rests. The chair that sits behind the front passengear (seat belt is not attached to the wall of the car) I believe does not work properly. BE WARNED--If you recline the chair more then 90 degrees the seatbelt will tighten until you cannot move. Or if you are reclined at more than 90 degrees, you will not be able to strap yourself in. Have complained to Toyota and they told me this is the "design" of the chair and not a flaw. They refuse to fix or are incapable of fixing. This Toyota will be our last. Do not get DVD player from dealer. Others have same issue?

  2006 Sienna - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By David Skipworth - September 17 - 10:00 am

  Very unhappy with this vehicle. Have less than 70k on this car and already on 3rd set of tires. Rear door hold opens have failed and they cost nearly $300, and now the A/C compressor is out. New part is more than $1,000. Transmission has always shifted sluggish and the fuel tank is too small for the fuel economy of this vehicle. This car is a money pit. It just stays parked most of the time now. I hate it!

  Great Car - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By jschwartz - September 15 - 11:55 am

  I had a Dodge Grand Caravan in the late 90s and loved the space (not the reliability). Since then have had a Tahoe, Envoy, CRV and Volvo S80 (the worst piece of junk I ever owned). This car is just for my wife and I (and a dog). We love this car. It is spacious, lets us hang clothes on a trip and in general is just a wonderful experience. To those who complain about the NAV, I would say learn to use it properly. Further, no NAV system is perfect. I have not used the voice activation, but from what I can see in the manual, it works great. Love the bluetooth as I do not always hear my phone, but with the connected bluetooth, never lose a call. I have averaged almost 21 MPG.

  Interior Improvments Needed! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Mike Patock - September 15 - 12:30 am

  Vehicle is great except the the build quality of the interior. It looks great, but it rattles, creaks and moans. Certainly didnt expect that in a Toyota.

  Awsome family vehicle - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Jimtsr - September 11 - 10:00 am

  Really wanted to get a SUV, but wife insisted on the functionality of a mini van. Now that we have it, I am converted to the world of mini van fans. The Sienna XLE is a very well designed vehicle that offers practicallity and luxury at the same time.

  best minivan available - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By benthere - September 6 - 2:00 am

  The Sienna got us all of the features we wanted/needed on the base model for a great price. Tumble-under 3rd row seat, the bucket seat 2nd row that swing forward for easy access to the back (great for getting kids in and out of car seats), and engines power (I think its the most powerful base engine out there) in combination with the good gas mileage. We thought we got a good deal by getting our CE for $22,400 on the last Saturday of the month. Great standard features and awesome passing acceleration on the free way (better than our Camry) and the turning radius is superb which makes U-turns easy.

  Great Minivan - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By veggierique - September 6 - 2:00 am

  This car was definitely worth the 6 week waiting period. Its easy to drive and rides very smooth. I thought it might be too big to drive moving from a compact car to a minivan but the Sienna is very comfortable, definitely not too big.
