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.

  TOYOTA SIENNA - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA - March 14 - 4:46 pm

  Would like to have had six cd changer-got navigation and was told could not have 6cd changer. Premium gas only? Great ride sometimes light/mpg so far 16.5. Hope it improves. Arm rest/driver awkward to adjust on right side. For price, need more features.

  I like the odessey better - 2006 Toyota Sienna
  By Julie - March 14 - 3:16 pm

  I had purchased a used Odyssey with leather seats and dvd and I loved it but found out it had been crashed and not fixed right so we went back to the dealer and we traded it in for the sienna. I hate the seats, you lean back to rest and it is like laying on a brick, we have 80,000 miles and the a/c is acting up. The cd player and radio for the last 10,000 miles has been very strange some days you cant see any of the words on the radio and then it just stops working then it will work then stop again later. The one thing I noticed is when I accelerate it shifts hard and almost has a jerking noise. It has been really reliable that I am thankful for.

  Will Never buy from Toyota again - 2010 Toyota Sienna
  By Mike in St Pete - March 12 - 12:03 pm

  I paid two grand more to get the nav system. It is horrible. It almost got me killed once when my wife and I had to pull over in busy traffic to reset it. Toyota will not allow the passenger to use the nav system while moving. They are the only nav system that does this to the consumer, and it ruins the car for me. I now use my iphone for nav. Also, nav can only be updated every two years or so, meaning restaurants are incorrect and highways changed. Plus, they charge you $260 bucks for the upgrade when it does come out. There are a million complaints online about this nav system. Dont buy this van!

  Still love it at 60,000 miles! - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By NJ Bobbi - March 10 - 10:00 am

  We are seniors--this car is not only for soccer moms. We travel a lot and love the car-like handling and the spacious rear seating for our friends, who all comment with surprise on its versatility and spaciousness. We ADORE reconfiguring it for hauling various items we buy. Only negative: too often were forced to drive socially, since were the only ones who can carry six!

  Makes me feel younger. - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By Droid - March 10 - 10:00 am

  Comfy, quality, good features, power, fuel econ, and styling. Handling is more SUVish than car-like. Gated shifter is great if bold enough to use it. If you drove manual cars in younger yrs this is for you. Solid control, find any of 5 speeds by feel alone. Selective engine braking down hill or slowing. Excellent accel. from corners cuz so easy to select best gear to enter and leave corner. No waiting for the downshift most autos torture you with when wanting power. Select passing gear before attempting pass. Almost everything you miss from manual tranny, but still normal for wife or Grandma or when feeling your own age.

  I finally picked up my New Sienna. It has everything loaded (AWD, DVD and RES). The vehicle is build for quality. Toyota should upgrade the luxury features as describe below and to be the frist to have luxury minivan or Lexus minivan. Good Job Toyota, Rayman, Dearborn, MI 48184 Delaer: La Fontaine Toyota

  Best Minivan out there - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By dnew - March 3 - 10:00 am

  After driving a Honda Odyssey for several years, we were thrilled when we finally saw the redesigned Toyota Sienna. This is the best Minivan ever made, hands down. Havent been able to test the all-wheel drive in the snow yet, but expect it will be great. A little more expensive than the Honda, but a much better vehicle in my opinion in fact if Honda had all the options that the Toyota did the pricing would probably be on the same. AWD and run flat tires are the main reasons we went with the Toyota but after owning both can think of several other reasons why the Toyota is superior.

  Toyota Luvr - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By New Mom - February 20 - 2:00 am

  I just bought my Minivan and have to say that, so far, I love it. I only buy Toyotas since my experience with them has been excellent. I love my CE! It has tons of room for baby carriage, groceries, etc. and the style is beautiful and it rides smoothly! I dont feel fuddy duddy in it. I used to say Ill never buy a minivan. But, well, what can I say... JUST LOVE IT!!

  Favorite bike carrier - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By George Nierlich - February 18 - 3:09 am

  Update: after a month-long cross country trip, still no troubles whatsoever. Everything just works. Drive, change oil, repeat. We have no soccer kids and no in-laws to haul around. But we have bikes, including a tandem, and we like to travel to ride our bikes. The Sienna SE at least has a few "sporty" touches to ease the male ego when, really, it has the sexy styling of a toaster. It does have very good navi (except map updates are stupid expensive), great bluetooth, very nice media center (love it reading texts to us), great climate control, room for our tandem and all our gear INSIDE, and all day comfortable seats. It hauls a Costco load that will incinerate your wallet. So far no reason to go back to the dealer except services. Whats not to like?

  Not my favorite car - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Sunny1 - February 15 - 10:00 am

  Compared to my old Plymouth Voyager, I am very disappointed. There is hardly any trunk space. In order to fold the rear seats down, the headrests must first be removed. And then there is not sufficient under seat space to store them, so they take up space in my garage. Plus the headrests are so bulky that they interfere with my vision while backing out of a parking space. There is also not much space up front to store stuff. You cant put anything under the seats because of the seat mechanisms. And there is not much space between the front seats or between the rear and front seats. I do not plan to purchase the Sienna again.
