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.

  Best Daycare Mini Van - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Best Daycare Ride - February 11 - 4:53 am

  We bought a Sienna Mini Van for my in home daycare business. I really love the space, 6 cd changer, rear air control where the back seat riders can control, controls on the steering wheel, compass, temp reading for the outside, just there is nothing bad about this van. The only things I would just like to see change is two automatic door openings for the CE, and a few of my friends and my husband says when there a passenger and we turn left it feels like there is to much body roll. Other than those two things, I really give this a 5 star rating.

  Best Minivan in the World - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Chuck N - February 10 - 10:00 am

  Purchased on June 22, 2003. Have driven it for 2500 miles and completely love it. Drives like a sewing machine. Smoother than silk. This is no doubt the best vehicle purchase I have ever made. Although I feel $25K is a lot to pay for a vehicle, the Sienna is so much more roomier and powerful than last years and it actually costs $2K less than the 2003.

  very satisfied - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By stemmer - February 10 - 10:00 am

  The Sienna lived up to everything I needed in a minivan. With a 7 passenger minivan, my family enjoyed the comfort of the middle seats. It drives as well as my Camry.

  Death by sludge - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Tom - February 5 - 3:56 pm

  Great comfort, decent performance are the strengths here. Fuel Economy is lacking. It is no better than a Durango with a v8 Hemi. Despite faithful 3k mile oil changes (every 5k when switched to synthetic at 30k) sludge managed to best our engine. Despite showing all maintenance receipts for 5 year history. Toyota insists it was our lack of maintenance that caused the sludge and refuses to honor the warranty. Never again will we buy Toyota.

  Toyota Sienna - A busy family must have - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Debbie - February 5 - 9:23 am

  I thought we needed an SUV with three kids. What I found was that my Sienna has everything an active family needs. Starting in the back. There is plenty of room for sports gear, backpacks and a trip to Costco. The seats are easy enough for me to put down or take out by myself. Weve even fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood when a pick up was unavailable to borrow. With seating for 8, we purchased the 8th seat option, I never have to think twice about transporting the kids friends. With hooks and pockets and drink holders, everybody has what they need at their fingertips.

  Still going... - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By Xuefeng - February 3 - 10:06 am

  I have used this vehicle for gardening, at the first day I went to plant my vegetables to selling them at the market. I drive right on the dirt road to get to my gardening area. I also drive this van at least once every month between Milwaukee and St. Paul. No major repairs so far.

  Minor Issues only at 210,000 KM - 2001 Toyota Sienna
  By Joey - February 2 - 7:23 pm

  Bought one new in 2000. Currently at 210,000 KM (130,000 miles) Have replaced brake pads once at 120,000 km. Other than that only regular maintenance. Driver side power window motor sounds like a bearing is worn. Kids are older, probably will sell it and get a smaller more fuel efficient vehicle. Paid 29,000 CAD in 2000, can sell easily now for about 8,000. No complaints here, obviously.

  Bad Purchase - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By ANW - February 2 - 10:00 am

  I spend more than $35K and got a car with no auto head lights, no turning signal on side mirrors. What kind of car is this? Even a low-end Camry comes with auto head lights now. The wood panel is so cheap looking. Anyway, my wife wants it and that is what she get - a lousy van.

  Very smooth and comfortable ride - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By garapata - January 29 - 11:30 am

  We got this van because i am fed up with my Honda CR-V because it is too small, bumpy, worst seat and has horrible road noise. I get stressed out every time i drive within the first 30 minutes. My family went on a long drive to Vegas just last week and it took us 5 hours to get there but it only seemed like 2 hours for me. The van is very roomy and the seat is very ergonomically designed, very comfortable. I like the bluetooth capability, connected the iphone to receive and make calls, and even play your music files wirelessly. I think fuel economy is not bad considering a V6 engine and at constant 85 mph speed. Overall, it is a wise decision to choose the Sienna over the Odyssey.
