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.

  • Im ashamed of my car - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    All the problems we have encountered seem to be my fault not TOYOTA. Can U believe that? Run flat tires were replaced at 20km. Rims destroyed while replacing new tires. Side doors are rusting even though theres tape for protection. Sliding door wire snapped off because of rust, (2mths before end of warranty). Paint job on van must be poor quality because rust is showing through. We have changed our front & back brakes & wheel bearing the 2nd time in 4yrs. Really frustrated! Not to mention all the recalls. No one wants to acknowledge there are problems with 2004 awd vans but me

  • Best Ive Ever Owned - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    This is the first Toyota Ive owned, and it wont be the last. The Sienna is far superior to the other (domestic) minivans Ive driven. Handling, interior "fit and finish", exterior appearance are all excellent. Very smooth ride. Great storage capacity in the cabin - there are 4 storage bins of varying size in the front seat alone, in addition to the glove box. Very solid vehicle. Dual sliding doors are incredibly convenient when adults are riding in the back. Even rear seating is comfortable. Safety features are abundant. Definitely not the choice if budget is your first consideration, especially in the XLE and XLE Limited. Its worth every penny, however. Overall, GREAT vehicle.

  • nice car - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We have owned this car for a few months and it really stands out, but one problem is 2003 Toyota Sienna CE had more feauters than this LE, but not including the Homelink or the folding seats. The fuel economy is average for its power. Another thing is that the Honda Ody. EX without leather cost the same but with much better features like two power sliding doors and 6 CD changer!!

  • OurSienna - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    The 2004 Sienna has exceeded our expectations. We have a new baby daughter and we were in need of a new vechicle. After test driving the 2004 Sienna along with the Honda Oddessy, and Dodge Caravan, our choice was easy. The only negative about the Sienna was that it took us 2 1/2 months to find the Sienna Limited. We found one, and drove it home the next day.

  • Best Minivan Ever - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I have love this van. It has the best ride I have ever experienced. I had a 96 Chevy Lumina minivan before I got my Sienna and its was the greatest van for its "time", but it was old and didnt match up to all the options and features that were available on todays minivans. I liked the Oddyssey at first, but when I saw the Sienna, the Oddyssey didnt even compare to it. It VERY comfortable and the features availble make it even better.

  • Cheap build - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After owning a Toyota Tundra for a couple years, I decided Id buy another Toyota. Unfortunately, the Sienna has had a bunch of problems. Our most recent problems involve poor build quality, including: 1. The lock mechanism on the rear door came apart because all of the screws fell out. 2. The inside door panel of the driver side door is partially disconnected from the door and gets stuck on the weather stripping when you try to open the door. The clips that hold the panel on are plastic and they broke easily. 3. The first set of tires wore out very quickly. 4. The first set of brakes wore out very quickly. 5. The battery goes dead after about 15 minutes if a door is left open.

  • This is a Toyota - 2002 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Ive owned several Toyota vehicles and currently own a Tundra, also. None of them have ever given me the problems this Sienna has. Since day one, weve had a number of problems with the van, including a faulty power door, door latches, brakes, etc. The only way to get Toyota to fix most of this stuff was to threaten a lawsuit. Oh what a feeling. Also, gas mileage is poor at best. Weve never been able to break 20mpg with this van, no matter what grade of fuel we use.

  • Nearly Perfect - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    When released, this minivan was head and shoulders above the rest in every way. However, with Nissan, Honda, and soon Kia coming out with complete redesigns, they have almost matched many of Siennas first place features like 60/40 split 3 row fold in the floor (Kia, Honda, Chrysler) 2nd row power windows (Mazda, Honda, Kia),rear view camera (Honda), front/rear sonar (Mercury, Honda). One of the only features completely unique to Sienna now is Digital Laser Cruise & AWD. However those are two BIG items, especially the AWD. MN has cold, snowy, icy winters, AWD is a must. That and Toyotas better than ANYONE, EVERs reliability made it a clear top choice. Its economical, reliable, and loaded!

  • Big, Beautiful & Fun to Drive - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We just bought this "mini" a week ago and so far havent found anything we dont like. It is very responsive; finely tuned engine & transmission and grabs the road. It seems especially competent as we still have snow and slush on the road after 3+ feet of snow, with most of it still on the ground over the past two weeks. The cabin features and comfort leave little to be desired. My first tank of gas got us 21+ MPG with a balanced mix if town and highway driving. Our trade-in; a 2005 Prius typically gets 43MPG for the same kind of driving.

  • Uncomfortable seat - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I start lease this van from May. Exterior design is best compared with others. But seat quality is no good even compared with previous model yr2007 & 2005 which we had. Only 1 hour drive, my wife complained this seat is terrible and I agreed. Im not talking about material and design. I felt like sit on sponge. Toyota should learn more from Germans car seat.
