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.

  • I always buy Toyotas - 2008 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I had a 2000 Sienna CE that I recently gave away to someone who needed a van. It had 280,000 miles on it and still ran, everything (but a few minor things) works on it including the AC. It had no bells or whistles on it that could break anyway. It was an amazing van for our family. Two years ago, I bought a pre-owned 2008 Sienna LE, and I am very happy with this one as well. I hope it lasts as long as the 2000 one. It has a more powerful engine so accelerates nicely, is roomy inside and has a very large cargo area. I find the front seats uncomfortable for my lower back, even with the lumbar support fully extended so I keep a long pillow in the crack of the seat which remedies the problem. I have met other Toyota owners who seem to have the same problem. I was not a fan of the automatic side doors because I found them to be very slow, but theyre growing on me. This van handles perfectly in all types of driving. I bought this van with 72K miles on it in May of 2015 (the year bought below doesnt work)

  • Glad its Ours! - 2004 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We are expanding to three kids and loved the ability to get three kids in the second row, fold in the third row, and have TONS of cargo space! I find it drives very much like a car, not a truck. It is quite easy to get kids into/out of the van; even my 2 year old can get himself up into the van unassissted. We also opted for the safety package which gave us traction control, stability control, EBD, etc. Drives great in the snow w/o AWD.

  • Great choice - 2010 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After looking at all the top choices out there, we chose a Sienna. We got an XLE with the Value package 3 and several other options. My kids love the comfort and ease of use of this van. It is very smooth and quiet on the highway and easy to maneuver around town. It really is the Lexus of minivans.

  • A Lot of Car. AWD Rides Hard. - 2011 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Purchased June, 2010--driven ~ 700 miles. Upsized from RAV4, which I loved but outgrew. The 2011 feels like this is A LOT of car to drive. We owned a "99 Sienna and its a completely different car -- much heavier. Not sure if due to AWD/run flats, but please test drive AWD/ compare to FWD + Odyssey. I am/was loyal Toyota customer, loved my 99 Sienna and wanted AWD--did not test drive AWD only FWD, and am now regretting. Not smart. Ride feels hard, bumpy,noisy -- especially over roads with bumps (many). Is this the AWD? All 2011? Not sure--and too late for me--but tune into this when you test drive. Also front VERY low to ground--be careful! Only getting 16 MPG city-if that-not good.

  • 8.5 yr. review - 2003 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    After 8.5 yrs and 87000 miles the van has been very reliable. apart from regular maintainance, we havent done anything to it. we did a 3000 mile trip west with 7 people last summer and got 35 mpg. apart from a rust spot on the right door, the van looks new inside out. My wife told me that when we are ready replace it, we will get another Sienna.

  • Not quite what I hoped for - 2006 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We were reluctant to buy a minivan, but with a third baby on the way, felt we had no choice. Weve only had it for a week, but so far Im not impressed. The driver seat is very uncomfortable. No matter how I adjust it (we have a manual seat), I cant seem to get comfortable. Also, handling is sluggish. Acceleration is unimpressive, and the brake pedal requires far more force to get the car to stop than Im used to (on our VW Passat all you need to do is rest your foot in the pedal--on the Sienna you have to really ride it). Also, visibility out of the rear window is terrible, with a huge blind spot behind the car, though I suppose thats typical of all SUVs and minivans.

  • Satisfied Sienna Owner - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Its my Wifes Sienna XLE AWD and we bought it last September. Very Comfortable, smooth ride and dependable. Only problem I have was that the power liftgate failed to close/open after a week use, I didnt see this prob in other reviews so I guess I was just unfortunate on that part, but my Toyota dealer got it fixed now. Overall performance is Excellent. If Im going to turn back time and buy a Van... I will still choose a Sienna.
