Overview & Reviews

Nothing major is in store for Toyota's minivan this year. The most significant change is the availability of a new "Symphony" special edition for LE models. This special edition includes items like keyless entry, a roof rack, captain's chairs for the first two rows (six-way power driver seat), a premium JBL audio system, power swing privacy glass, color-keyed heated power side mirrors, an overhead console with HomeLink and painted bumpers and cladding. There's also a new color this year exclusive to the Symphony: Lunar Mist Metallic. The base CE model's Extra Value package now includes a roof rack and keyless entry for no extra cost.

• Camry genes, excellent crash-test ratings, refined powertrain, optional stability control system, available side airbags.

• Dull styling, small size, lacks optimal utility.

  Awsome family vehicle - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Jimtsr - September 11 - 10:00 am

  Really wanted to get a SUV, but wife insisted on the functionality of a mini van. Now that we have it, I am converted to the world of mini van fans. The Sienna XLE is a very well designed vehicle that offers practicallity and luxury at the same time.

  Old reliable - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Godfrey10 - October 4 - 10:00 am

  A good old reliable piece of transportation. Only trouble have been with the electric windows up front-kind of spendy to fix. also the passenger doors keep sticking. Overall, at 90,000 an extremely reliable van-its a Toyota after all.

  Reasons to stay with a Toyota. - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Greg Gunnell - August 11 - 10:00 am

  We have always owned Toyotas. We needed a mini-van with young children. We made a huge mistake - bought new Dodge Mini-van on impulse. Nothing but problems. We went to the Sienna and are very happy. The quality is unmatched in every category. We will never buy anything except Toyota again. Ride, resale, reliability can not be beat especially by a Dodge.

  Better than the Odyssey - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By AJI - November 22 - 10:00 am

  I drove both the Odyssey and the Siena. Though the Odyssey is much bigger, I found the style and performance of the Siena to be much better. Plus I did not have to pay sticker or wait for two months to get a Sienna! In all I paid $500 less than the cheapest Odyssey (LX) and got a whole bunch of features that I would not have had in the LX trim.

  Toyota Cienna - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By John Tran - July 22 - 2:00 am

  Its best for me. Both second and thrid rows can recline. Its important feature for family on a long trip. Quiet and comfortable ride. Engine is powerful enough. Flexible seatings arrangement. And of course, very reliable.

  Love it - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By orlcam - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. The ride is smooth, the seats are comfortable and roomy. Although it is considered a smaller mini-van, I find it has enough space for me. If you have children there shouldnt be any space issues. The back seats are best for children. Adults may find the leg room a little tight if the seats are moved in.

  I love my van! - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Lori - April 14 - 3:35 am

  This van is amazing. 102k mi and still going strong. Its a Toyota after all. Only maintenance weve done is preventative every 5k mi. No issues with sludge like some people have had. It does go through brakes more often than I prefer. Had them done at 70k mi due to vibration/shaking in steering wheel, then redone under warranty due to steering wheel vibration again @ 72k mi. Had the calipers replaced then as well. When it started again at 73k mi I just lived with it. Van stopped fine, it just vibrated & felt awful. I recently had them done again @ 102k & had to replace the rotors this time. Apparently Ive had issues with rotors warping & calipers sticking. Mechanic thinks its due to non toyota parts & not replacing the rotors after warping the first time. Were giving Toyota brakes a try this time. Time will tell. I run mid grade fuel only. I notice when I use the lower grade fuel or fuel from cheap stations I hear piston chatter when accelerating on the fwy. I only use Shell, chevron or 76 Weve been on 13 hour road trips loaded to the max & this van scoots! I have plenty of power to pass if needed and I like that. Takes the hills in the mountains without hesitation. I could pull the grapevine grade in California at 90 if I pushed it. It does 75 with ease. I like that I can remove the back seats & have tons of cargo room. If you have to use those seats for passengers, as we have in the past, there isnt a lot of room in the back for luggage. A roof rack & cargo bag are a must. The front seats are comfortable and have held up well. The arm rest on drivers side is starting to show wear from my arm and one of the vent covers has a crack. Weve had to replace the sliding door handle, the rear liftgate handle & door seal due to a leak we finally found. Sometimes the button on the sliding door on drivers side gets stuck in. After some messing with it, it pops back out. The other sliding door doesnt like to release & the kids have to give it a whack & itll open. Other than those few things its great! Well likely keep it until the motor goes in another 100k mi.

  2002 Sienna Symphony - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By E L - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Our Sienna Symphony is a great minivan for the price. Our only complaint is that we only get about 20-22 mpg on 3.0l V-6 engine. Our 1993 Grand Voyager with 3.3l engine still gets around 18- 20 mpg. We believe that our new minivan which has a smaller engine displacement and smaller size overall should get a bit more than a mile per gallon than a 10-year old minivan.
