  Traded in 2004 LTD for 2015 XLE premium - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By seeingsienna - December 28 - 10:55 am

  The old van had 154,000 + miles and served our family for over 10 years with safety, luxury and comfort. Despite that I am impressed with how the new model looks, drives and feels so much more solidly. The XLE Premium has most of the features we want and omits many that we had but never found useful. The current LTD does not warrant a nearly 10 K upcharge. I read extensively about vehicle reviews over many years and can say the Oddy and Sedona rate highly but for us the Sienna fits our needs. We sat in all 3 at the car show for comparison and several family members who own Siennas and Oddys. Both are excellent vehicles with smooth rides. Its a personal choice.

  Beware of this minivan - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By D.P. - December 8 - 7:11 pm

  We bought a new 2015 Sienna during the summer of 2015. Though large inside the vehicle is hard to see out of and has sizable blind spots. The car no longer comes with regular tires and the runflat tires that come as standard equipment are of low quality. We only got 20K miles out of ours and replacements cost twice as much as a decent conventional tire. You dont need runflats since if you end up having a problem you wont be able to pop on a spare and continue your trip. You have 50 miles to get to a tire shop or dealer in order to get a new, overpriced tire. While the car is still under warranty the TPS sensors are starting to break. Toyotas policy is to ask customers to commit to paying a fee to determine if the sensors are covered under the warranty. I ask you, if you have to pay to use it what good is a warranty in the first place. Neither Toyota nor the dealer that sold me the car will put this policy in writing, they just refuse to do the work unless you agree. In this day and age you can do better. Be warned and learn from my experience. If I had known then what I know now I never would have bought the car. Update as requested by Edmunds. Minivan continues to have problems. Most recently a door recall that the dealer required to be done during the week and was an all-day fix. For those who work being unwilling to do recall repairs during their scheduled weekend hours shows the lack of customer service Ive come to expect.

  Lots of room - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By T.H.E. Pensman - June 20 - 3:20 pm

  Van sucks up gas like a thirsty camel. Dont buy this for outstanding mpg. Even it you were to coast down a hill, this car will suck up the fuel. Car handles really well for its size. Navigation is OK for the first year but upgrades that have to be done at a dealership and run close to $300 a year: ridiculous. Entune is WORTHLESS and when you call Toyota for help/information, its as if you were speaking gibberish. They dont even seem to know that Entune is their product. Even the other apps and info systems are only partially thought through. If a tire needs air, you get a notice, but which tire is it? Yet you have to check every individual tire and only when you find the right one will the low air light go off. And yet if you have your bright lights on, they will automatically dim at an approaching vehicle. If you arent a soccer parent then dont despair: you can easily put four sets of golf clubs in the back. And two adult passengers will enjoy being chauffeured in the rear reclining seats.

  By RON Pope - February 3 - 10:22 am

  I would buy this car again, only thing about a minivan for me I dislike is Im 63" and would like more headroom always hitting my head on rear lift trunk, I will probably go back to suv because of more head room. Other then that, a real dependable vehicle

  Fun to drive every time, and easy with 3 kids. - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By j m - November 26 - 6:46 pm

  This is an honest review of our experiences with the minivan so far, and compared to driving the Rav4 and Honda Pilot. We were looking for used Sienna minivans and think this was a great deal through Edmunds on a new vehicle and Carmax in Laurel, MD. Weve only had it for about a month, but couldnt be more pleased with it. We were thinking Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna, based on reviews and our experiences with Honda and Toyota. My 2007 Rav4 is 9 years old with almost 80K and NO issues, except for the many recalls that were annoying (but safety is important, and I m sure the company has to be careful about everything). I had never driven or test-driven a minivan and I didnt want to give up my 2007 Rav4 (my husband sold his car and uses the Rav4 for work), but I needed a car that fit 3 kids better, and take extra passenger if needed. In the Rav4, we had an extra thin infant car seat base with booster in the middle and latch car seat on the other end. It was hard for the 7-year old to access the seatbelt in the middle and to squeeze the booster in-between. I love how the Rav4 handles similar to a car. I drove a 2003 Honda Pilot and didnt like the shift on the column because it wasnt easy to downshift (something important to me for safety), and it handled more like a truck and was hard to stop. There is not much room in the Pilot when the 3rd row is opened, has little leg room in 3rd row, and hard to put permanent car seats in 2nd row if you need access to the 3rd. The shifter is easy to use on the dash, and easy to tap to the left and down for downshifting. The acceleration is smooth and it has power. I was going close to 80 MPH without realizing it on the highway! And it seems to downshift quickly when braking. It handles very well- really not much different to get used to, except its larger and longer. It doesnt feel like driving a minivan. Our garage is tight to fit 2 cars- even the Rav and small car, but its easier with the van and Rav to get the kids out with the sliding doors instead of car doors touching each other. The sliding doors are great- many ways to open and close them, including the handles and easy push-button inside. They seem to retract if they sense something in the way, however, my son closed it and it was pushing hard into my arm as I was getting the baby out and got me off-balance before it stopped. The fold-down seats are easy to fold and many configurations. We store the 8th seat away so we can get back to the 3rd row, otherwise only a small person can squeeze behind the seat to get out. Its so much room- I can easily walk to the back to help with buckles, although the oldest can buckle himself in the back. I have the youngest 2 in middle with infant seat and latched seat with harness for 4-year old. Its easy to move the middle seats forward and back with much leg room for either row- kids are not kicking into the backs of seats. I had 2 extra kids I was watching and fit 5 kids easily. The latch is easy to use in both rows, and also has anchors behind the seats. The temperature controls are great for separate temperatures in left and right front and rear. The radio and controls are all great- bluetooth. I accidentally called someone 2 times- once from the steering wheel and once from the touch screen when choosing something... I thought they were calling me, so it was something I had to get used to! I love the console with cup holders, plus 2 extra pull-out ones in the dash. There is a lot of storage in the console and glove boxes; theres a coin holder, sunglass holder, door storage for water bottles, cup holders and storage in 3rd row. A few more features are compass, USB connection, blind spot mirror, grocery bag hooks in backs of seats. The seats are very comfortable and fabric seems nice and easy to clean. The electric driver controls are great- I can sit up pretty high and I love the lumbar support. I sometimes would get uncomfortable in other cars like Rav- my back and legs hurt after awhile, and I thought my neck didnt feel comfortable with the headrest. I think the controls are better in the van so I can stay comfortable. The gas gauge is tiny and hard to see when the steering wheel is in the way, but the display says an approximate distance until the tank empties and shows estimated MPG while driving. The backup camera is nice. I think it is necessary- it seems hard to see around otherwise. I dont like to only rely on it though because it doesnt show sides and it displays like a fisheye and things appear very far away. Visibility seems really good- there are blind spot mirrors too. It seems to be decent on gas, but Im not exactly sure- Im sure it is at least 20.

  Pay Attention! - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By S - November 6 - 3:41 am

  For women on the go, (we live in the car), there is no place for a pen, trash, no up front drawer, doors have no side pockets" worth a flip", the console is so deep you need a flashlight to see what the contents are, if you drop something between the front seats and the console you cannot get your hands between these two, and definitely no place for your purse when you have a front seat passenger with you. The console needs to be to where you could take in or out as needed. The passenger seat needs to have an up/down button as the drivers seat does. The gas could be better because in 2006 the Honda Vans were getting 26-27 in town and on the road 31. This could also be for the Sienna. I like the van itself. I wish these men would let a woman design the front inside. When do you ever see a man driving a van.

  Toyota of SunnyvAle does not honor warranty servic - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By josh Cheng - August 3 - 10:20 am

  I have a 2015 Super White Sienna SE with Premium package. After 1 month, I have been experiencing issues with the Navigation: It powers down while in use and it freezes periodically. When I brought it in Toyota of Sunnyvale, they refused to look into it even though I have the issue on video. I dont recommend a Toyota Sienna until they fix the issue and also alert their Toyota dealers of the problem. When I spoke to Toyota they said that they cannot force a dealership to look into it. So it is tough to buy a product that Toyota cannot stand by and Toyota of Sunnyvales Director of Service, Bob Pelletier even cussed me out when I tried to get him to look into it. I do love the Sienna if it wasnt for the jittery Navigation system.

  Great "grandkidsmobile" - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By Grandpa Bob - January 31 - 1:18 pm

  The front seats are ok, not great. Wish they had option to get ventalated, seat extender & massage. Seats like 22-way offered in Lincon MKX would help make this a great minivan!
