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.

  Excellent except for climate controls - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By pragmed - September 5 - 6:46 am

  Excellent experience with one exception. The climate controls are hard to see in daylight. You cannot tell which mode, vent, etc is in use.

  RUN FLAT TIRES - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Virginia L Palik - September 1 - 9:13 pm

  Good car, lousy tires. At 10,000 miles, run flat tires are shot. Cost $1,300.00 to replace. Toyota will give you one replacement free but what happens after the next 10,000 miles? We have to shell out $1,300.00 for another set of tires. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING MORE.

  Good dependable minivan - 2004 Toyota Sienna

  A nice ride, great stereo system with lots of good storage options. I hope to have the luck that most Toyota owners experience with their vehicle.

  Love the van. Drives great looks great. Comfortable for everyone that rides in it. Yes even if you are in the back. Quiet and smooth. Gotta love it.

  Best van Ive owned - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By David Loria - August 29 - 9:40 am

  I owned the Sienna 2004 and opted for it again. This time, the Limited rather than the SLE. I enjoy the extra bells & whistles and feel the price difference is justified. I plan to continue buying the Sienna Limited. Anyone interested in a minivan should test drive the Sienna. Not to do so would be unfair to the prospective buyer.

  I LOVE my Sienna!! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By nhmommyx3 - August 27 - 10:00 am

  I especially like the little hooks for grocery bags so I am not treated with a huge mess from spilled groceries when I return home. I purchased a fuse for daytime running lights on line for less than $10 (from a popular auction site) and think they should be standard. Overall I am very happy with the vehicle, except for the clunk when it downshifts at slow speeds

  Buy a Sienna - 2003 Toyota Sienna
  By WES - August 18 - 10:00 am

  December 9, 2002 we traded our Camry in on a 2003 Toyota Sienna. We have driven the van for 8,400 miles so far. When we received the van, someone had filled the gas tank with bad gas so it was stalling out. We took it back to the dealer and they drained the tank and changed out the fuel injector. We also had problems with the headliner, which rattled at low speeds. The dealer had to use an adapter kit to fix the headliner. In addition the passenger side sliding door lock sending unit was defective. The dealer took care of this matter as well. Since these problems were dealt with the van is fine.

  Quality and lack of company concern - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By waldimar - August 18 - 3:13 am

  The first two years of ownership of a 2005 Sienna CE were good, but in the last two months I had repair bills of $2000.00. Radiator leaked/replaced. Power steering rack and steering shaft needed to be replaced. The response from headquarters was, too bad, your warranty is over. Right now I am looking to try something else, maybe even a Dodge Caravan. In this tight market out there I was just surprised by the lack of interest to make me a happy owner of a Toyota product.

  OK Car, BAD Doors, AWFUL Tires - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By pseca - August 17 - 4:32 pm

  Pay very special attention to the plastic coated steel wire that is part of power sliding door mechanism. You can find this wire in the groove/track under the rear windows. The plastic coating of this wire on my van dried up and cracked, exposing the steel wire. When this happens, the door will be hard to open. When the steel is completely exposed, eventually the cable can snap. It happened to me and my doors (yes, both sliding doors) are only in manual mode now. I was told that it would cost $2000/door to fix. The front doors have welding issues. When they are opened and closed, they make a LOUD "snapping" noise. This model came with runflat tires. They are expensive to replace.

  Column stick - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Sandra Wilson - August 14 - 10:06 am

  I like my Sienna except for an occasional problem. When I go to put the van into Park, it sticks in Reverse. Since this is an occasional issue, I now leave my foot on the break until the van is turned off!!
