  • good but needs more space - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    this is my first van and I like the ability to carry all of the people but the space for luggage is limited. If I didnt have the luggage carrier on top it would be impossible to take the family of 5 on a week vacation!

  • the best - 2000 Toyota Sienna

    Sienna is the best.

  • dependable but uninteresting and small - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    very dependable vehicle with good crash ratings. however, the vehicle is small comparing to its competitors.

  • Excellent minivan in every respect - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Weve had this van for nearly 10 years now, essentially problem-free. Yes, the brakes do squeak a bit, especially when the weather is hot but thats a minor annoyance. We drive a LOT, in all kinds of weather, and have been delighted with the incredible reliability. It handles great in heavy snow; it does have a wide turning circle but so do other vans Ive driven. Weve had no issues with oil sludge or any of the other complaints Ive read about here. Our kids have grown so I dont think wed buy another minivan, but if we did, Id definitely go for another Sienna.

  • Good, but with problems - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We had no problems until 65,000 miles. Since then, the transmission busted ($2,300 for a rebuilt trans.) and both sliding door handles have broken (around $330 to fix for both). All tires had to be changed at 15,000 miles and again at 40,000. Definitely some alignment issues. A good car, but quality control seems to be becoming an issue for some Toyotas. That said, Im considering replacing this with another Toyota (RAV4), so I guess it goes to show Ive not given up on Toyotas perceived reliability.

  • The Best of the Minivans - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After a horrible sales experience, the greatness of our Sienna quickly overpowered it. I think they are the best looking of the minivans out there, although I dont think minivans will ever make parents feel sexy driving them. Not a single problem and love all the cup holders and storage compartments in the back. I like the realibility of the Toyota name but the thing that sold me on it was the crash test ratings. Nothing feels better than knowing that your family is the safest it can be and knowing that youve made an informed decision by checking all your facts first.

  • Extremely Reliable People Mover - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I bought this van in 1999, needing flexibility for hauling bicycles and music/PA equipment. Periodically I keep toying with the idea of buying a new one, but then again it has so few miles (62k) and has been so darn reliable, that I just cant convince myself to spend $30k for a new one. Other than problematic power window switches, the vehicle has been pretty much bulletproof. Engine sludge? Not sure what I think but I have changed the oil personally every 3k (of late so few miles ever 6 months with synthetic) and no evidence of sludge in oil filler area. Still starts without complaint first try and runs like a top after nearly 10 years.

  • Excellent vehicle for any size family - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    The Sienna LE is an outstanding vehicle for any size family. I love all the room, it handles very nicely and goes from slow to fast quickly. It is not sluggish, which you might expect from a minivan. This vehicle is considered a luxury vehicle to our family. Cons: The sloping front makes it difficult to determine where your front end is, I bumped into curbs a lot; still, that could just be me, I loved the Sienna.

  • Sienna minivan -- comfortable & reliable - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Weve had no problems at all with the Sienna and its been a comfortable vehicle for long trips and taxiing kids around town.

  • Sienna is a Great Choice - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Our Sienna has proven to be a very wise purchase and great asset to the family. We have 2 young children and the spaciousness of the cabin has proven to be everything wed expected. The van is strikingly similar in overall size, power, and driver "feel" to my parents Lexus RX300 SUV--its got gobs of power. The black exterior is, as the conventional wisdom states, hard to keep clean.
