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 Van I Ever Owned - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By RichC76758 - January 21 - 2:00 am

  Purchased my 2004 Sienna a month ago. Have driven city and highway in that short time. Drives like a dream. Styling and creature comforts cant be beat. Edmunds.com calls Sienna the "Lexus" of vans. They are absolutely right.

  All Wheel Drive Can Leave You Stranded - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Samchild7 - January 17 - 11:00 am

  The Siennas All Wheel Drive Option is based on the use of "run-flat" tires. These tires, made by Dunlop, will take you one hundred miles if punctured. The problem is that no one, including Toyota or Dunlop dealerships, stocks replacement tires, and nearly no one owns the $50,000 device required to pull the tire from the rim. As such, a simple nail will leave a family on vacation stranded for two or three days while a special order tire ships in. Since a simple nail in a tire is a foreseeable hazard, Toyota has failed miserably in providing any sense of reliability on the AWD version of the Sienna. This is a very sad state of affairs for a company known for attention to consumers.

  Bilking the Name Brand - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By NJRD - January 16 - 8:26 pm

  It is bothersome to pay such a steep price for the value you get in return. The days of Toyota are numbered if it does not add value to its products as it will not be able to ride on its name for ever. The quality of interior cloth is similar to what they had put in 97 Camry CE. Shabby fixed antenna on a 28K vehicle! Turn signals are not safety friendly as they are hard to read in snow and rain. Ride is noisy to say the least and Toyota lacks dealer commitment who just want to push it as a cheap commodity

  Busy Family Driving - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By kinzer - January 15 - 2:00 am

  We are a family of 6 and the van is our lifeline. We are almost always transporting additional children and equipment. It meets those needs admirably. We are certain that our vehicle will run well each time we get behind the wheel. Maintenance has been virtually incident free. Its sleek good looks have garnered many compliments and we will buy another Sienna when the time comes. This is our third. Go get one for yourself.

  Excellent overall. The only comment is the lack of visibility to drive backwards.

  I will only buy Toyota. This thing is so sweet to drive and so much more reliable than GM.

  Toyota...American Stye - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By chastek - January 12 - 6:50 pm

  Our van serves as daily people hauler and weekend plaything for a family with four kids. Its very roomy with plenty of interior storage and cleverly designed seats. The fit and finish is not as good as our Lexus, but is probably better than average. The powertrain is super smooth and it never lacks for power, even when fully loaded. We average 22mpg in mixed driving.

  seats, anyone? - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By Mhotopp - January 8 - 10:00 am

  I drove a 2000 the other day, and I currently have a previa. Whats with the seats on this thing? They must have taken design cues from Chrysler, because theyre spongy and flimsy at the same time. Why did they change?!! Also, they went backwards withthe armrests, which used to adjust and now have only one position. Americanized crap, if you ask me. Im sure the reliability is high, but if you cant get comfortable, who cares?

  Great van so far. Still afraid the will shoe to drop. - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By bhildebrand - January 7 - 10:35 pm

  Bought second hand in Nov 2012. Owned 2 Chrysler vans before this one. Got this 05 sienna XLE with 97000 all prepped and ready to go. In Dec we went from PA to CA and back in comfort & had a great trip. Van didnt give so much as a hick-up. Got 21mpg average over all. But with 5 adults & lots of luggage I guess thats not bad even though I was hopping for better. just over a year now (mar 2014)with no major problems. Power doors acting up over winter but have learnt to deal with it. will cut cable and run manual if need be. now have 121000miles. Went in for 100000mile services and found cracked radiator. Ouch! If this is the worst that happens Ill still be happy with it.
