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.

  Love my Siena - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Marcus I Valdes - October 17 - 2:00 am

  This car beat the Honda Odyssey for me. The styling is nice and the cabin is functional. Couple that with an awesome engine, and youve got an unbeatable combination.

  Just Bought Over the Odyssey - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By ColoradoMom - October 12 - 10:00 am

  We were in the market for a minivan. We worked with both Odyssey and Sienna. The Honda dealer in Colorado Springs still has the smug "Honda Odyssey" attitude, and were not willing to budge off MSRP for a 2003 Honda. The Sienna has many more features and a year newer. The Honda dealer treated us so poorly, we went back to the Toyota dealer and ordered a Sienna (none on the lot for sale). Skip the Odyssey, they need to realize they arent the top dog anymore.

  Unbelievable - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By just - October 12 - 10:00 am

  I was on the fence about buying this van and Im delighted to say that its far exceeded my expectations! The build quality is unbeliebable, it honestly feels like a German car or a Lexus. I got the BW package i.e. substitued the JBL sound system for Traction control, Stability control, brake assist, rear disks etc.

  Not what I expected - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By golddog - October 10 - 8:13 am

  We previously owned 2 Chrysler products, 1 T&C Limited and 1 Grand Caravan ES. These were both solid performers. We "upgraded" to the Sienna and so far have been only minimally impressed with the vehicle. Acceleration is lacking, body lean is major, steering is light, sunroof rattles and the JBL radio is terrible. Mileage has not been that impressive. Removal of center seats are demanding. Several minor issues were also noted upon delivery of the vehicle. Missing screws in wheel wells, loose molding etc. Quality and reputation brought us to the Toyota. However, based on our past two vans, it is no better than the competition.

  Engine is worthless - 2007 Toyota Sienna
  By BF - October 9 - 11:46 am

  Toyota sienna engine is worthless. Miss an oil change and it will sludge up fast and Toyota will not help. Trade yours in now before it the engine goes out. Toyota dependability & reliability is a myth. Just plain lie-ability.

  2011 Sienna - Recall Imminent - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By DaddyNOTlike - October 9 - 4:16 am

  We have owned this car for less than two weeks. After 10 days, the rear trunk door stopped working. We took it to our local dealership body shop at were told the hinge had a problem, like the Highlander in recent times. They tried to fix it, didnt work. Now we find out the tailgate is bent at the top, so the entire rear trunk door needs to be replaced. At the same body shop, an identical 2011 Sienna (1 week old this time) was parked for the identical same problem. Their door was also bent at the exact same spot as ours and refused to work. The steering has been giving me creaking noises since day 1. Other 2011 Toyota owners have also had same problems w/passengers doors within 1 week

  Better Than Expected - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By bigcapusta - October 8 - 4:33 pm

  I loved my 2001 Chrysler T&C for comfort and enjoyment of driving. Unfortunately, after 100k miles, the transmission started faltering. I test drove the Toyota, Honda and Chrysler and the Sienna seemed like the right choice. I have been pleasantly surprised that it is a lot more comfortable and handles well on both the highway and in urban areas than I expected and have no complaints there. The gear shift lever is rather jerky in movement. Be careful on basic features. Some things that arent listed as available options at the Toyota site for the model (ie floor mats, undercoating, towing)do not come with the car. You may have to add up to $1000 to the MSRP. Its not my T&C.

  Awesome Vehicle, great family fun - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Irobbig - October 7 - 1:53 pm

  I had a 98 ford Windstar and man did I have a great surprise! This car is awesome, versatile and capable. The stereo is excellent, ride is like a car and best of all, I paid less for the Sienna than what I paid in 1998! Bought it before the summer vacation, put on a hitch and airbags in the suspension. Towed small trailer for 2000 miles to date and it works great, 6 adults, no problem, lots of gear, no problem. This is the most silent car Ive driven so far, beats the euro cars hands down. My only complaint is that I could not get the electric 8 way chair and I am 64" so the driving position is OK, not great, but that is the only thing I can complain about!

  Old reliable - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Godfrey10 - October 4 - 10:00 am

  A good old reliable piece of transportation. Only trouble have been with the electric windows up front-kind of spendy to fix. also the passenger doors keep sticking. Overall, at 90,000 an extremely reliable van-its a Toyota after all.
