Model Overview:

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.

  • Several Bothersome Quirks - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Im a repeat Sienna owner. Leased a 97 and loved it. Bought a top-of- the-line 04 and wish I had leased it, so I can dump it. Navigation system stinks. It is disabled when car is in motion. Not even a passenger can plot a route without stopping (usually on the side of a busy highway!!) Run-flat tires are sold as a feature. They wear out in 20K miles and cost 3X the price of conventionals. No spare brings up all sorts of safety problems. They are rated as Ultra High Performance All- Season. What? On a minivan? Transmission shifts very poorly, particularly when downshifting then accelerating, as one does at yield signs, toll booths, etc.

    Toyota has good reputation for long lasting vehicles.

  • Gotta Lemon - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Paid Sticker for a lemon. Since I have purchased my Sienna - I have had a new Radiator (mine split open), the inside hinge the driver door broke off (when I got this fixed, the annoying rattling went away), one of the speakers crackles, and ALL of the rear seatbelts need to be fixed - the fixtures around them are broken. Thank God the DVD player still works. Tried to trade it, but I would have lost my shirt.

  • Nice Car - 2003 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    This van was very easy to decide on, because it didnt drain my wallet, and it was an eye catcher. The Sienna is the best van out there because its the right size, and it didnt look boxy like the Honda.

  • I will never buy Toyota again - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We brought this car of the dealers lot in Dec 2003. We have had numerous problems with it. Except for its engine, everything has had problems. - Radiator blew off at 15K and again at 98K - Rear shock replaced at 35K - Body parts just rattle, rattle and more rattle - Water seeped into the rear of the car causing us to get that cleared couple times - Alignment goes off the whack every 6 months - I have to change tires every 2 years due to excessive wear. No one can tell why - Automatic door broke twice! Forutnately second time the part was covered under warranty - Radio has gone bad - Side door plastic cracked - Rear axle hub had to be changed at 95K - AutomaticWindowreplac

  • Mini -Van for the Wife - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    My wife had a Grand Caravan that we traded for a Tahoe. My wife has wanted another mini-van ever since. We chose the Toyota based on reputation for reliability, safety, and the fact that it has more leg and headroom for me at 64" than Honda or Nissan. The 3.3L Toyota engine blows away the 3.8L Dodge engine, and handling is very car like. So far we have about 1000 miles on it, and fuel economy is a reasonable 23mpg on the highway. I never thought Id by a Toyota, but Im happy with it. My next new truck might very well be a Toyota.

  • Much Nicer Than The Odyssey! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    When we started thinking of getting a minivan, everyone steered us towards the Honda Odyssey. We did research online which also rated the Odyssey the best. We first looked at the 2004 Sienna and loved it. Because of everyone telling us to buy the Odyssey, we decided to take a look. We couldnt believe the difference between the two. The Sienna was much nicer! And the price was just about the same. We purchased the 8-seater, which was very difficult to find, but will help when we have out-of-town visitors.

  • I am not sure - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I am not an experienced van driver, dont know much about car either. This is the first van for us. We decided to buy a toyota van after seeing the previous reviews about the 2004 sienna. I am still wondering if I got a good deal. But what comforts me most is that my wife loves this van after I drove her to work and picked her up several times. I used to love living in Chicago but now I hate it since it snowed Monday, just two days I bought the van. Forgot to mention, my 6-year-old son showed off to everyone the new van even strangers.

  • Odyssey Killer - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Just picked ours up a week ago and are totally dazzled. Owned a Grand Caravan for 5 years and test drove a 2003 Odyssey and the Sienna is far superior. The Odyssey is the closest competitor, interior dimensions are almost identical and it has the same folding rear seats. The Honda handles nicely, accelerates and brakes well, but is totally devoid of any character - the interior is so spartan and functional that it was like driving a delivery van. Sienna on the other hand is more comfortable, quieter, smoother-riding and makes you feel like you are driving from your favorite chair at home.

  • 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    This the THE minivan to get. They took the 4 year old Honda Odyssey and added many features to it. Mainly SPLIT Magic Seat in the rear. The Honda seat is too heavy for a woman to fold away.
