  Reliable and safe! - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Scott - February 9 - 6:26 am

  Bought our Sienna used 3 years ago, and have since driven 30K. This van has proven to be more reliable than other manufactures that our neighbors and friends have had. Other than oil changes, weve only replaced the front struts. The tire pressure light was sometimes a bother, but I figured out the reset by reading the manual. Unfortunately, my wife was in a head on collision, and its unknown if our insurance will fix it or not. However, the airbag worked, and she was back to work the next day with only minor bruises. We plan to get another Sienna if we lose this one. Average MPG was 18, but we often get 25-26 on highway trips.

  1999 Sienna as seen in 2008-bad tranny! - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By R Roberts - January 27 - 8:10 am

  Delighted with the drivability after we bought it in 2005 w/99K mi. Almost no problems the first 2 years.Then in quick succession the radiator and starter failed, soon followed by the tranny. We took it to a reliable tranny shop recommended by our mechanic. They fixed it and we continued to drive it problem free for about 7 months, when the tranny again went out. We took it back to the same shop, who stood by their guarantee, though they kept having problems getting everything right and had to start over about 5 times (cost us only about $200.00 for one addl part). We drove it only 3 months and the tranny again went out; now no longer under warranty from original repair. Selling this $ pit.

  great mini van - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Mr.T. - June 8 - 10:00 pm

  all I can say is that I should have bought a Toyota a long time ago. I purchased the van and decided to drive to Cape Cod. I didnt even think twice to drive it twelve hours straight. It went down and back up without any questions. the vehicle ran so smooth that at times I caught myself doing 90 to 95 mph and not even noticing how fast I was traveling. Have a blast if you get one...

  A Great Van - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Wick - April 1 - 10:00 am

  This car has a wonderful balance between functionality, convienence, and confort. The car rides very well for a van and yet provides the space and ability to haul people or cargo long distances.

  The good, the bad, and the . . . - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By jgp - March 16 - 8:26 pm

  Bought this van new as a replacement for 1989 Mazda MPV. Good power and handling (for a minivan) and a very comfortable highway cruiser. Adequate luggage space with all seats up and excellent with rear seats folded or removed. Good size - longer than the MPV and shorter than the Chrysler, Honda, etc. Generally good reliability except for the power sliding door (see below).

  Good vehicle - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Alan - November 19 - 5:06 am

  Ive owned a Chrysler minivan and a Ford minvan and the Sienna is WAY superior. We bought it as a 2 year old vehicle and could have purchased a new Chrysler Town & Country for about the same money, but the Sienna was such a better vehicle we purchased that and have no regrets. Great family vehicle.

  Most reliable thing on the road! - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By Armani - November 18 - 3:20 pm

  I bought this minivan in May 99 and got the XLE because of the power door feature which surprised me, but was not happy that the power door needs repairing so soon. So far I have 88k miles and have never encountered problems with the engine because of its perfect realiability. A previous minivan didnt make it up hills had so many problems but the Sienna goes up hills with authority.

  Wonderful Van - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By yingsheng - July 5 - 10:00 am

  After three years driving this van. I have nothing to complain especially for my small size family. I never had even one tiny problem with it. The only thing I could suggest is the cost of fuel since toyota recommends to use 91 or above gas and it costs more at current gas price. But anyway, I very like to buy toyota van again 5 or 8 years late (It just seems to last forever).

  Really Great - 1999 Toyota Sienna
  By fredlisancnc - June 12 - 3:00 pm

  Just had 10 year anniversary. Soccer mom. Purchased new. Has been a dream vehicle. Now have 135,000 miles. Drives like luxury vehicle. Has been extremely reliable. Have just needed reg. maintenance, i.e oil changes regularly, 18 month brake jobs, (heavy city travel). On 3rd set of Michelin tires, on 3rd battery. Had to replace motor for power window and an alternator. Am now having timing belt, water pump, and ac and ps belts changed for first time which is normal maintenance. Now in its 10th plus year, starting to have a few issues. Valve gaskets are now leaking oil and need replacement. Repair described is approx. $1000 for belts, wp, and new gaskets with labor. Heavily recommend vehicle.
