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.

  Not what I signed up for - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Troy - December 21 - 2:50 pm

  After having this for less than a month it has been in the shop for NUMEROUS issues including transmission, power windows that would not go up and a stereo that has a mind of its own. This is not my first Toyota product, but this sure will be the last. The dealer was less than helpful and my salesman was nonexistent for help dealing with service. I will be buying an Odyssey in 2 years unless this vehicle gives out before. Getting ready to trade our ES350 for an Accord Crosstour. What happened to you Toyota?

  New 2011 XLE Sienna - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By smb224 - December 17 - 10:30 am

  Just bought this van at a great deal (guess they are anxious to move them!) Drives like my Lexus, very smooth and quiet. Had a Odyssey previously and like this van much more. On the XLE model with Navi package, pretty much every feature under the sun.

  Great Family Car - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Susan C. Smith - December 17 - 2:10 am

  I love this van! It is perfect for my family of 5. It is fun to drive as well as easy. I commute daily and have taken it on a long road trip and have enjoyed driving it. I thought I wanted a big SUV, I had an Explorer before the Sienna. I am so glad I have this vechicle instead. The mileage is fair, however I am in commuter traffic work days.. .I do get much better mileage than my Explorer. I feel as though it is safe for my children with the built in safeties. I really cant think of a negative to say.

  Cant do much better! - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By opie - December 13 - 10:00 am

  I was tired of wasting all my free time maintaining cars. This is the most uneventful car experience Ive ever had. The only things I do are oil changes and put gas in the thing! It handles like a cloud and behaves well (very car-like). Its so quiet, its almost scary!It is wonderful for longer trips. I researched vans for nearly a year before buying this one. Only the new Sienna could top it.

  04 Sienna LTD FWD HF review - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By davenow - December 13 - 10:00 am

  Overall an excellent choice for a minivan. In color of Silver Shadow Pearl makes this van look good. Gas milage is fantastic for a heavy van like this. im getting 24-25 mixed driving consistantly, and i anticipate 28-29 when i take my trip in the fall.

  My teens like it ! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By yopon - December 13 - 10:00 am

  My teens said they wouldnt ride in mini van, but now say its cool. Traded Highlander for more room. Got that plus great mpg (22.5 avg), quiet smooooth ride, great visability, tight turning radius, very nice interior features, storage galore. Kept price down by ordering only what I wanted, before all the "dealers profitable" frills packages were added. Dealer still gave me a good deal. Im very happy and plan to keep it forever! SUVs are overated. Buy what makes the most sense. nuff said

  The good & Bad - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Mini-Van Guy - December 13 - 10:00 am

  Drove Quest, Odyssey, T&C, Pilot, MDX and Pacifica before waiting 2 mths and paying sticker for Sienna. Purchased for design and available safety package #12. The flexibility is great with children and the visability promotes safe driving. Love vehicle but dissapointed in initial quality. Four visits to dealer for loose belts, mounts, plastic rattles, speakers vibrate and most recently a thumping from front end.

  Run Flats - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Tom - December 9 - 3:40 am

  Run Flat tires come standard on this vehicle. Unfortunately this is the worst type of option that toyota could put on this type vehicle. I already have changed the tires twice. I am on my third set of tires. Toyota is aware of the problem but apparently continues to retrofit even the current 2007-07 models with the run flat tires. The sienna awd xle can be equiped with conventional tires and a spare tire conversion kit but if the consumer opts for this it is at his expense and he loses the ability to fold down the third row seat.

  Review after 7500 miles in 10 months - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By mkousen - December 7 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this minivan because of its ride and 4 wheel drive. Honda could not match either requirement. The support has been quite good, but I am displeased with the lack of power/response both in city and on the road. The city gas milage is 13 mpg and I get 21 on the road. The car keeps down shifting out of 5th gear every time I reach a mild grade when the car is set at 70 mph. Very annoying! This does not happen at 63 mph, so it is related to a lack of power. If I maintain 63 mph, the mpg goes up to 22-23 mpg. However, the turnpike speed is 65. I suspect the decreased power is related to the AWD and probably is bette

  okay, but dont get too excited - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By no_more_sugar - December 7 - 10:00 am

  Considering it is a minivan, it looks and feels good. it has plenty cargo/passenger space and plenty cup holders. it is built for family usage, so dont expect any excitement from driving it. I wanted to get leather seatings, but they were only available in XLE model.
