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 should be called Lexus - 2008 Toyota Sienna
  By Arav Shivakumar - April 10 - 5:26 pm

  Cannot believe minivan rides could be this comfortable. When we started to look for minivans we checked out Honda Odyssey and Nissan Quest. Very soon we decided its going to be either Sienna or Odyssey. Quest was out of choice. Siennas comfort and ride satisfaction was way higher than Odyssey and we instantly liked it. Sienna seems to use Electronic Brake Distribution, which makes the brakes feel lighter but efficient. Very minimal steering action is required for turns. All you need is a pinky finger to drive this excellent minivan. Arctic Frost Pearl color looks great even at the nighttime!

  The Sienna - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Transport Mom - April 4 - 10:00 am

  The Sienna is a GREAT family car. It handles like a car, unlike other minivans I have owned. It is tight, it does not rattle, it gives a smooth ride, even after 3 1/2 years of transporting heavy loads which include: family, friends, gardening & hardware supplies etc.

  A van as a friend - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Merry - March 30 - 10:00 am

  I really do not know why some people think this van is not good. I have had this van for more than three years. It is so smooth to drive. I never had to go to dealer except change engine oil. I had no any problem with it. but honestly I used 93 gas all the time, and probably it is the reason why I had no problem at all.

  Great Vehicle - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By kericks - March 30 - 10:00 am

  Bought the van in 99 and have driven the pants off of it! It now has 92,000 miles on it, change the oil every 5 to 7.5K miles and it runs beautifully. Oil still light brown after all those miles, and doesnt use a drop of oil between changes. Took on long trip across Nevada, got 26 mpg driving between 75 and 80 mph! (Over 540 miles on one tank!) Only problem has been a broken rear latch (200 bucks to fix) and a slow drivers side window caused, we believe, after it was stolen and recovered. Could use more room behind rear seats, but seats are a dream to flip up or remove.

  Great Van - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By angelaj1 - March 30 - 2:06 am

  We love our van. My only complaint is the tires, but the guy at Discount Tires explained to me that it is because the van is very front heavy. The back tires do fine. I have had to replace the tires on the front 3 times, and I am getting ready to replace the tires on the front. When I replace the move the older tires to the fron. and put the new ones on the back. So, so I will be on my 3rd set of tires. Other than that no complaint. We love it for road trips

  Best Family Vehicle Ever - 2003 Toyota Sienna
  By DaniAmbrose - March 23 - 2:00 am

  Comfortable drive anywhere for our family with three teenagers. We even comfortably transported seven passengers, and a load of luggage and gifts on a four hour ride home for Christmas. And believe it or not, we even brought home a dining room suite, including the china cabinet, in three trips using the minivan.

  Smoothe Jazz - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Vishal - March 23 - 1:00 am

  Like the title says .. smooth Jazz. If you want to take the stress/work out of driving with ALL the room in the world, Sienna is your Van. Like an edmunds.com editor aptly said - the lexus of Minvians. This Van drives like a dream. Even after owning it for more than a year, I still sometimes cant be sure if the engine is on - Silky smooth. Ive put 17k miles on it all over west coast and look forward to enjoy it for years to come. Mileage is great for a car its size.

  I cant believe a Mini! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By dorisrez - March 22 - 12:03 pm

  I never thought I would ever drive a minivan. But now that I do, I am so glad it is this one! It is very luxurious and is very accomodating to any busy parent with a bunch of kids! I have only had it for a week and as much as I miss the mpg on my Matrix, I love the room and the space.
