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.

  Great Van - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By fink - March 11 - 10:00 am

  We love our new Sienna! The split fold down 3rd row was the big seller. The ride is quiet and comfortable. We feel like we have more than enough power for passing and merging. Kids love the extra room.

  Not what I thought it would be - 2008 Toyota Sienna
  By my2sons - March 9 - 10:00 am

  I have always taken care of my vehicles,changed the oil, rotated the tires every 5,000 miles and did what the manual said but I am so sorry I bought this Sienna, At 60,234 miles i am going on my third set of tires.All I do is highway driving because of where we live. the front end is always out of alignment and you cannot tell when it is out of alignment because there is no pulling to either side.So every oil change I have to pay more$ to get the front end checked/ I do average 24 mpg and I havent had any engine trouble. I must say the engine has good pep when you need it. The tires that came with the vehicle only lasted 30,000, But 3 sets of tires It makes me furious.

  Pretty Decent and Useful Van - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By kickserves - March 8 - 7:43 am

  I still have the 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited AWD van. Its been a solid performer since day 1. Its quiet, powerful, dependable, and comfortable on long trips. We live in New England, and its great in the winter. We have the 7-seat option, so there is plenty of room. I have had a few service items, some expected, some not. Problem areas: Oxygen and Air/Fuel sensors, inconsistent electrical problems with doors & windows, brake rotors/disks, rear wheel bearings.

  Best vehicle I have ever owned - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Alex Mullins - March 4 - 11:40 pm

  Purchased in Canada, this van is great in snow. After 44 months and 195000 km, this vehicle has had only routine maintenance. We love the ride, the room for luggage, great highway vehicle, smooth ride, short turning radius, excellent sound system. Only regret is not getting the XLE. I can think of nothing negative to say about this vehicle. Just replaced the timing belt, water pump and plugs at 185000 km and it runs like new again. Local Toyota dealer wanted $900 plus for that work but i had it completed by a trusted small town mechanic for $560. Am on third set of Michelin all-weather tires. Had my first alignment and the vehicle runs smooth as glass. Averaging 25.4 miles hwy and city.

  2000 Sienna - Great Vehicle - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By tnjumper - March 4 - 1:56 am

  We bought this certified, pre-owned vehicle about 18 months ago. We have had no repaire expenses other than normal oil changes. The minivan is extremely quiet and rides nicer than most cars. It is comfortable and is easy to enter and exit. We are very pleased with this purchase.

  Cant go wrong - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By D - February 26 - 3:36 am

  Honda or Toyota? Up to you. But with AWD in the Pacific NW, we couldnt go wrong. Plus, the fully loaded Sienna is closer to a Lexus than the Odyssey is to an Acura. 100% satisfied. So much more refined than 2003 4Runner Ltd.

  Better than expected - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By brifromwi - February 23 - 8:48 pm

  After much debate, we sold our 2005 Sienna XLE and found a great deal on a 2011 Sienna Limited ($2200 under invoice!). The ride is superior to our 2005; I would describe it as more "plush". The interior cabin noise is much improved over the 05 as well. Overall, in our mind, the Sienna beats the honda and the nissan hands down. The ability to move the second row so far back was what sold us on the Sienna. Overall, we are really happy with the purchase.

  Why I bought a 2012 Toyota Sienna - 2012 Toyota Sienna
  By vanperson - February 23 - 2:50 am

  I have driven vans since 1976, starting with a Ford Econoline 150 followed by a string of 5 Chrysler minivans. In 2006, I purchased an new Oddesey EX-L . It was by far the best minivan I had ever owned. After posting nearly 90,000 mi of mostly trouble-free driving, some periodic transmission slippage prompted me to go shopping. I loved the Oddesey styling except its face that resembled a 2001 Oddesey. I also liked the style of Siennas. In short, Honda wouldnt deal and Toyota was eager. Still leary of the Sienna, I took a long test drive in both an XLE and a SE. The SE drove much like the Honda. The dealer added a light grey leather interior, awesome! Happy at 20K miles and 0% financing.

  Great reliability and drive for a van - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By stickywickett - February 22 - 10:00 am

  Own a 2002 Toyota Sienna LE symphony with 42,000 miles, and absolutely NO problems at all. Only maintenance required was oil changes every 5,000 miles. Nothing fancy about the styling of this van, but it gets the job done (transporting kids safely, comfortably, and reliably).

  super van - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By peterpanshrek - February 22 - 10:00 am

  i was choosing between the toyota Sequoia and the Sienna for a family of five, finally i was convinced by my wife to get our Sienna as the 3rd family car,the ease of loading and unloading the family helped make my decision.
