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.

  This van is well appointed even for the low end model. However, at low speed, the transmission is very slow to shift with a rev that is unnerving. The sliding doors just a few months after purchase have squeaked even though there have been several visits to the dealer. I will be taking my van back to the shop again soon for this problem. If the simple things not being done right bug you. Avoid this vehicle until there is a major redesign. Also there is the interior noise of the engine. I thought I was driving a diesel.

  uses lots of gas ?! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Wang - October 25 - 8:36 pm

  I used to drive an Avalon, so Sienna appeared to be heavy. I suppose it is common for van. I am in general happy with it. One big surprise, however. I have 300 miles on it and the milage track (part of the package) indicated 15MPG! I am not sure if other people have similar experience or shall I check with the dealer

  All the Toys! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Mom of 2 boys - October 23 - 10:00 am

  I agree with the other owner of the XLE Ltd AWD. Get the best with all the toys! I love everything! We got the van to hold the whole family, including the grandparents. The fuel expense took getting used to though, going from a car to paying $40+ to fill up the tank , hurt.

  This is my first van and I love it. It drives just like a luxury sedan. It is very quiet and feels so smooth on the road.

  Happy with the van - 2003 Toyota Sienna
  By mdoran - October 21 - 2:00 am

  I purchased the 2003 LE Synphony with 0% financing after getting tired of dealing with Honda. I really liked the Odyssey but since there is such a demand for the Odyssey, Honda doesnt budge on price. At 0% the Odyssey lost out. I got a good deal on the Sienna - traded 92 accord. I had lot of buyers remorse for a couple of weeks after giving up my accord. The Van rides higher up and gives a better view of the road. But since you sit higher the vehicle drives different then a sedan. This difference was hard to get use to for me. Now I love the van. I love being higher up and having the extra seating.

  Love the 2007 Sienna - 2007 Toyota Sienna
  By Sir G - October 21 - 1:50 am

  Coming from a twin turbo Audi, it was hard to swallow moving into a minivan, and my wife tried hard to talk me out of it. Considered monster SUVs QX56 et al, and the Odyssey, but I decided with the AWD available in the Sienna, it made the most sense. I ordered an 07 limited AWD, with Pkg# 2 & 4. So far, I love this "Sports Van". It rides almost as smooth as my wifes RX 330, and is quite ergonomically sensible. I know Ill be a fool if I expect the performance of the Audi, but the Sienna does not disappoint. It is brisk off the standing start, but where it shines is on the highway, where youll need to pay attention to stay within the 15 mph of the speed limit. Its that smooth.

  Luv my Van! - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Kate - October 15 - 10:56 pm

  I love having such a safe vehicle. I wasnt in the market per se for a van but the safety ratings sold me. I have a small child and her well-being is #1. I also was very impressed w/ the vans handling in the snow. My van out performed my husbands Silverado 1500! We were both in shock. Overall my van is safe, beautiful and reliable. I know it will last me far beyond my car payments. If you dont mind the initial teasing of being called a soccer mom, this is the vehicle to have.

  Love it!!! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By BevK - October 15 - 10:00 am

  We love this car. I cant keep my kids out of it. They beg me to go sit in the car even though we arent leaving home. We all love the rear audio the most. I can listen to the radio up front and they can listen to their kids tapes/CDs in the back. Toyota really paid attention to the details on this car. I recommend it to all!
