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.

  Why Not To Buy A Sienna - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Very Unhappy Toyota - August 21 - 10:00 am

  We have broken three passanger handles. We cannot get the vehicle to align we tried 3 times. We have been thru 3 sets of tires and three brake jobs. None of the above are covered by the extended warranty. (Never buy an extended warranty from Toyota) All work was done by dealer with exception of the last brake job was done by a shop that carries a lifetime warranty.

  First Time Sienna Owner - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Jim Ensley - August 18 - 7:40 pm

  We have owned the Sienna a short time and have taken on two trips of greater than 800 miles. It has been over 110 degrees in Las Vegas and the air conditioning is able to keep the drivers compartment cool.

  Still gives the biggest bang for the buck - 2011 Toyota Sienna
  By stabler1 - August 18 - 2:42 pm

  Just bought a LE V6 FWD. This is my 2nd Sienna following the 04 and my 4th mini van in total. Considered Highlander and Pilot also. Pilot is high maintenace with the short timing belt change cycle nonsense plus the guzzling yet weak engine. Highland is good over all but it is simply more money for a less car compared to Sienna. The new Odyssey is simply too ugly in my taste. The new van drives good feels very stable on free way speed. like the LEs backup camera and XM radio. Like the front floor pad area which is a perfect place for putting a lady hand bag or something. The power drivers seat is very supportive and comfortable. 2nd row seats have more than enough lag room for most

  Great Used Minivan - 2004 Toyota Sienna
  By KVN - August 18 - 8:46 am

  We are really happy that we bought a used 2004 Sienna Limited edition vs Odyssey EXL. It has all the require elements that my wife and I were looking for in a minivan. Safety and entertainment features like side curtain airbag, DVD for the kids, parking sensor and handling. The mileage has not been bad. Getting around 16 city and 23 highway with full blast AC. The only draw back so far with the Sienna is that the tire doesnt last long. I am a conservative driver. Even with tire rate for 60K miles, I am getting around 27K. Oh well hopefully the Sienna doesnt breakdown on me until end of life on the new Michelin Hydroedge.

  This has been a fabulous family vehicle and, is excellent for highway and basic around town driving. I drive to work on back country roads which isnt much fun.

  excellent quality - 2000 Toyota Sienna
  By porschephile - August 13 - 2:00 am

  We havent had a single problem with this car. It meets or exceeds or expectations in every category. The interior is very well designed. Of course it isnt a Porsche in terms of performance and handling, but you cant put tons of luggage and kid stuff in a sports car.

  It looks nice, but has been a nightmare - 2005 Toyota Sienna
  By Timothy - August 10 - 1:56 pm

  Before purchasing our XLE Limited we had rented an LE for a 3 week road trip....that sold us...into a nightmare. Bought it for almost 40k, fully loaded. All of the features are nice however at 60K miles we are on our 4th AC system rebuild, 2nd center differential (first one locked up at 70mph on the freeway), 2nd drivers door (check strap broke, punch through the outer skin). In short we have had it for 4 years, and spent almost $7000 in REPAIRS (not maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes, etc). Our case has been review by Toyota several times, and we have been told the situation is normal...both my other cars (Cadillacs) have 170k+, and have cost a lot less then this to keep running.

  My 4th Sienna, overall 4 stars - 2015 Toyota Sienna
  By lou - August 6 - 9:59 pm

  Just want to let you all know, it took me a long time to moved up to this 3rd Gen Sienna. And here is why... We used to have 04 LE AWD, 05 LE, 07 LE. When we picked up our 07 (used) we spent lot of time compare that 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen (2011+) and we just didnt see the wow factory so we settle for an used 07 :) You all know the 2011-2014 has a pretty bad review for its interior design and material. In this 2015 we just picked up, the inside is now more in par with other current new cars on the road. the bigger screen with backup cam does work much better. The new touch screen radio is a very good update over the 2014. Many options and settings, with big Text. Other nice features (for LE) is the build in blind spot corner mirrors. I have been telling my wife about how Ford made it standard years ago and all the sudden, the Sienna has it. Build in windows screen for 2nd and 3rd rows is another feature that my kids love. Couple cost cutting items, the not lighted speedometer is bad. Very hard to see during the day. The other is the non powered windows on the rear. It used to be standard on all 2nd Gen but now you have to get to XLE or higher to get that feature.

  Shouldve bought Honda Odyssey - 2003 Toyota Sienna
  By tony22r - August 3 - 10:00 am

  VERY Disappointed in Toyota. Build quality has really gone DOWN. -Front Brakes squeal after only 7K miles -Rattling sliding door. 6K miles. VERY annoying! -Pulls to the left; alignment off since brand new. -A/C vent fell off. 5K miles -NOISY Firestone OEM tires! Replaced myself with Yokohamas, much better ride now. -Transmission hunting for gears/lunging. -3.0L V6 is underpowered, NO low-end torque at all! Must rev it High all the time to keep up with traffic; not a comfortable way to drive. Especially with fears of oil gelling/sludging in this infamous V6.
