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.

  Glendale Arizona family - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Excellent on Gas - July 2 - 10:56 am

  We say that this mini van is really good on gas, compared to our dodge quad cab that we have to fill up every week, compared to the every 2-3 weeks on the van. Its a really nice ride, the options they put in is really nice for the price you buy it for. We have looked around and didnt seem to find a better deal than what we found at a toyota dealer in Arizona.

  Love Our Sienna Van - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By LoveOurToyota - June 29 - 8:36 pm

  We love our van. I had a hard time getting past the van stigma but once I did I would never go back. This car is so practical. We have kids, and the room and comfort of this car is amazing. It drives so smoothly. It is so much fun to drive this van. The automatic doors is a huge plus. I always worried about the kids hitting other cars when they opened the doors. You can close/open the doors from the inside of the van. This car is made for families. Toyota did a great job designing this car with so many family friendly features.

  Nice upgrade of a great van - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By GMP - June 25 - 3:46 pm

  Our third Sienna. Most luxurious van on the market period - as plush as a Lexus LX, but 40K less, and with a better ride, more space and easier access. Has pretty much every techno gadget you would want. Only van with AWD option too. Nice improvements over old model - DVDs now load from front seats, 2nd row seats slide farther/easier, center console slides back, no more annoying nav warning screen and more user friendly nav, ipod now integrated with stereo, great 16" vid screen, run-flats quieter and smoother than previous model.

  My second Sienna - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Goldie 4751 - June 12 - 2:00 am

  Just received my new Sienna XLE 2 weeks ago-first saw it last summer and just had to have it-at the time I owned a 1998 Sienna XLE-the 98 was very good and very reliable but had a few shortcomings.The 2004 corrected them.Its much larger,and feels it-the interior is beautifully done,everything fits and is logically placed.I waited 3 months for delivery but it was worth it- I also got a very fair trade in for the 98.

  2006 Toyota Sienna XLE - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By leiz - June 11 - 2:16 pm

  Traded in FS Nissan ARMADA for 1st Minivan. I was worried about the HP loss from the SUV, but the ride is so comfortable & the gadgets - you gotta love them. 1st road trip to LV, NV. Husband never wants to drive, calls shotgun for 3rd row. I felt like I was driving my Lexus RX 300. Turn radius is awesome compared to RX 300. Love the power 3rd row seats, nav plus sonar, memory seats. I LOVE BLUETOOTH - I dont have to take my phone out of my purse. I also like being able to turn the movie on on nav screen for my son. It is much like a Lexus. If you want luxury go with Sienna, its worth it!

  Outstanding Vehicle - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By PHG - June 10 - 5:43 pm

  I never thought Id ever write a review about a minivan, much less a good review. Im pretty sure Im still a car guy, so it must be a great vehicle. (It is.) The Sienna has incredible storage options, decent power, good handling, good looks, nice ride, and is just an all around great buy. Headlights cast a great illumination path. It did a great job in a snowstorm in NY. Weve only had a couple of minor trim problems, and a mysterious and now vanished engine ping. (I dont know why, by the way, that Edmunds has only got a best fuel mileage of 19mpg on their long-termer. We usually get around 25-28 on the highway, and that is at extra-legal speeds.)

  Replaces first generation 98 Sienna XLE - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By Leigh - June 9 - 2:00 am

  Have 4 kids. Started out thinking I would go with a Large SUV. Happened to see the new Sienna, looked at it and my 14 yo saying she had more room in the back seat..we started minivan shopping! I have a 98 Sienna XLE (kept it, couldnt give it up after 210,000 miles), so I knew the reliability was excellent. Bought 1 mo ago, We love it! Nice driving experience. love almost everything about it. Waited til the Honda Odyssey came out to buy, but Sienna won out (personally thought the Odyssey was ugly as in the back looks like a droopy backside!) and Honda not willing to come off MSRP the first months of release.

  Cute but small! - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By lstpierr - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Bought it in 2000, and havent had any problems. Only thing worth mentioning is after shelling out almost 30k, Tires should be something that you wouldnt have to worry about for a while. Well, with 19k on it, had no choice but to remove those yuk Firestones with some Michelins. This also improved the somewhat harsh suspension. Overall, I think the van is great for 4 passengers, but any more where you will need to constantly use the 3rd row seats, forget it, its too small, and the cargo space is ridiculously small. Also, ergonomically has some blind spots, its tough to back up with it. Its a cute looking van, but too small.

  My Toyota - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By michie - June 1 - 10:00 am

  We had a 2000 Ford Windstar with only 33,000 miles on it and already, it was starting to make noise and have complications. We bought the 2004 Sienna because finally, Toyota, reliable, trusted name in our books made a van that was roomy and comfortable. We love the self storing seats, the great handling and smooth drive. As long as they stay this size, I may never buy another brand of minivan!

  Great but rattles - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By ideaphoria - June 1 - 10:00 am

  I am in shock that toyota would sell a car that has rattling problems and would take so long to admit the problems and fix them. Its a great minivan, unexpectedly good mileage, excellent handling and pickup, really a great design. But some of the materials are really cheap (plastic stuff) and the doors and second row passenger side seat rattle to no end. Perhaps toyota will fix it - if they dont Im going to go crazy for spending $32k on a car that has rattles at 4000 miles.
