Model Overview:

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.

  • We Love Our Sienna - 2000 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We researched all mini vans when we were ready to buy. As like most of you, it probably came down to the Sienna and the Odessey. We ruled out the Odessey in 2000 for the simple reason of not having leather seats. We would be bring how a newborn in our new car and the though of the first time she might get sick in the car with cloth seats was my decision only to get leather. (The Odessy wasnt very stylish either.) We just replace the brakes at 30K and have never had a problem at all with our car. We just saw pix of the 2004 coming in March and are thinking about the upgrade due to all of the new safety features.

  • Oh what a bummer..... - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I have had my Sienna (2004) for a little over one year. Already, I have had to replace the radiator, seatbelts, parts in the steering wheel, and have other problems the dealership just cant fix. I bought a Toyota for the reliability since I am on the road often with my kids. I am so sorry I did! I refuse to drive the car on long trips now. Ive had it to the dealer four times in the past two months for repairs. The last time in, I had two pages worth of repairs/recalls on a one year old vehicle! I also have a sluggish take off which the dealer says is normal. The A/C doesnt blow cool when idle (traffic) for more than five minutes as well. Wish I had never bought this one.

  • Should have bought an Odyssey - 2004 Toyota Sienna

    This vechicle is very nice, but after having it for a coulpe of I weeks and then driving my brothers odyssey. i wish I would have bought it. This vechicle is way over priced.

  • Nick review - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    This 2004 Sienna is the best Minivan out there right now. They added all the functional/practical things such as, best ground clearance of any minivan, 6+ inches, powered windows on rear sliding doors(no other minivan does this), third row seats hides like the Hondas. This was Hondas major advantage over the Siennas. The second row seat can be for 8 passangers, with the middle seat able to be moved forward for easy access to car seats. Engine is very powerful. Performance is all around good, but cornering induces too much body roll. If you are buying a minivan between now and December of 2003, the Sienna should be your only choice.

  • Great Ride, loads of room, and no spare tire - 2014 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I am pleased with this car, 15k miles in except for the run flat tires and lack of a spare. the AWD versions of these vans have this serious design flaw, and the run flat tires are twice the price of standard tires, and wear twice as fast. So the buyer can figure on a factor of Four times the expense for keeping rubber on this car. As a lessor, I am disappointed that I will have to buy tires at least once for this car, and the run flats are absolutely awful for AWD traction and performance once they get to 4/32.

  • Just a few problems - 2007 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Overall, Ive enjoyed my minivan. However...(1) both sliding doors rattle. Took it in several times, they greased it and it was ok for a short time and then back to the rattle. No one can find the problem; (2)drivers side sliding door sometimes gets stuck (cant close it from inside) & (3) same door sometimes wont open from the inside either; Now, (4) the calipers are shot. I dont brake quickly either! This van is 2 years old & falling apart on me!

  • Its my Managon.... - 2015 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    If you have to buy a minivan then the Sienna is for you.....Roomy and handles great. Gas mileage is ok. I love being able to fold up rear seats as the need arises. A few complaints...whoever made the navigation system has never used a Macintosh product. Navigation, voice control, and apps are seriously stupid!! Make it user friendly!! Also, be careful pulling out of parking lots or parking up next to cement sidewalks. The van is so low I have scraped the underside of the front bumper many times. Im just waiting for it to be yanked off. Side storage on the doors is poor in the front sections. The split screen Blue ray is nice EXCEPT you cant play PS4 or XBOX game systems on it due to low power access.....WTH? Sliding doors are awesome....no more dinged up doors. Handing on this sport edition is ridiculously good though.

  • The Best Van - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I am pleased with the handling (good turn radius and "get up and go" when needed). The van is good looking in and out. The dash styling is a good combination of style and class. I want excited about getting a van, but have decided after driving it for 2 weeks that it was an excellent choice. The power doors all the way around are incredibly helpful. Getting out the door with 2 young children is much easier and the drive is smooth and quiet off the freeway (could stand improvement on freeway). Overall, I think this van is the best out there...and I looked at everything inside and out before buying.

  • So far so great! - 2002 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I have been driving this van for 8 yrs now without any major problems. The engine and transmission still runs like new. Had oil changed every 3,000 miles (using Synthetic High mile oil after 140,000 miles). It is so smooth and quiet. Replaced Transmission oil every 30K, timing belt/water pump at 120K. Only had a problem (Engine check light) with error code P1135 last week. Replaced with A/F sensor heater (costs me $220 with genuine Toyota part). It might be OK if I should have mechanic to reset it (I regret) because I put emission cleaner to the gas last week. No problem at all so far. Very happy.

  • Smooth like a Lexus but not quite there - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Having owned this car for a while now, I have very mixed feelings about it. Its smooth and refined like my Lexus but has very mediocre interior ergonomics that are very un-Lexus-like. Its very easy to love the features; HID lighting, AWD, Nav, laser-cruise control, bluetooth, DVD, comfy leather seats; but somehow, Toyota didnt get some of the basics right. The frequently used climate control buttons are small and mislabeled. The 2nd row seats constantly rattle and squeak. The run-flat tires are truly terrible but at least warranted by Toyota. Fuel economy was terrible at first but is improving with age.
