Overview & Reviews

Nothing major is in store for Toyota's minivan this year. The most significant change is the availability of a new "Symphony" special edition for LE models. This special edition includes items like keyless entry, a roof rack, captain's chairs for the first two rows (six-way power driver seat), a premium JBL audio system, power swing privacy glass, color-keyed heated power side mirrors, an overhead console with HomeLink and painted bumpers and cladding. There's also a new color this year exclusive to the Symphony: Lunar Mist Metallic. The base CE model's Extra Value package now includes a roof rack and keyless entry for no extra cost.

• Camry genes, excellent crash-test ratings, refined powertrain, optional stability control system, available side airbags.

• Dull styling, small size, lacks optimal utility.

  the rattler - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Bill Liu - July 12 - 10:00 am

  We bought our Sienna during its first year of introduction and have driven 36,000 miles in 36 months. After 6,000 miles, the mini-van started to rattle at various parts. One of the door screw fell off. After balancing the tires, all the rattles went away except for the sliding door at 30mph. The firestone tires are definitely the cause. Emmision test mechanic told me that other owners also have the same complaint. The second seat arm rest is too weak. When passenger exit the van, they tend to use the arm rest as a rail to avoid falling. this tends to losen the arm rest. I suspect a heavy person can lean on the arm rest and break it.

  Great Minivan - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Greg D - July 12 - 10:00 am

  After months of searching for the right minivan I brought home the Siena. Kudos to Toyota! This seemingly flawless, comfortable minivan is a great drive. Not to mention the fact that its ABS probably saved me and my son from a wreck when a driver went through a red. I took the Siena on our first family trip (2 adults and 2 kids in car seats) from NY to North Carolina. Put the cruise control on (after the first 1000 miles)and just enjoyed the ride. At times we had 7 passengers in the car comforably ( and my family aint small). Honda may win all the rewards- but when it comes to overall refinement both in the ride and interior comfort- Toyota is simply the best.

  Perfect family mobile - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By metrojo - July 3 - 10:00 am

  Very nice amenedies for a van. The style is better than most. The interior offers a very quite and comfortable ride. Acceleration is very good- no problems getting onto the freeway. The van is remarkably well built and trouble-free. The engine and tranny are smooth and work effortlessly toghether.

  Warning for Future Buyers - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By WeileMom - March 1 - 2:00 am

  Overall Ive loved our Sienna XLE. We traded in a 2000 LE that had oil gelling and planned to keep the XLE for 10 years. However, we have many complaints, the largest being squeaky breaks-a known Sienna problem since 2001. The breaks dont just squeak- they SCREAM! I would love to hear from other people with the same problem because Toyota says they can do absolutely nothing. The mechanics at Toyota told me to brake harder!! Also, the paint is bad and chips easily; the carpet colors are too light and show dirt; we have had a couple of warrantied things replaced. My husband is 65" and his knees touch the dashboard on the passenger side.

  Squeaky brakes solved - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Nadine - January 21 - 7:56 am

  I purchased this vehicle with 4 miles on it and it was the best decision I made. I have yet to do anything but preventative maintenance - gotta love. Just replaced my brakes at 45K and guess what-no more squeal!. Per the brake specialists my brakes squealed because they needed shimming.

  A+ - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By tony22r - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Easy to drive, effortless power steering, great view from the drivers seat even for short drivers. Seats 7 comfortably with room to spare. The CE is fully loaded with all the creature comforts; power windows, power locks, power side mirrors, keyless entry alarm, front/rear AC, dual sliding doors, roof rack, CD/cassette, 6-way adjustable seats, tilt steering, cup holders everywhere! The whole 9 yards! Plush suspension offers luxurious ride, yet handling is nimble and quick. 3.0L DOHC V6 can easily pull the Sienna up long steep hills at 100mph loaded with cargo and 7 passengers. Reliable, roomy, oozing with high build quality, features, and Lexus-like ride.

  MY SIENNA - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By SAMUEL J. BARNES - December 5 - 10:00 am

  I PURCHASED THIS SIENNA BECAUSE OF TOYOTAS REPUTATION AND PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH TOYOTA. IT RIDES LIKE A CAR.I LIKE THE DESIGN. THE DRIVERS ARM REST COULD BE A LITTLE LOWER AND IT COULD USE MOULDING ON THE SIDES TO PROTECT THE DOORS BUT I AM VERY PLEASED OVERALL.

  Great - for a minivan - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Toyota Owner - October 22 - 8:00 am

  As per usual, a very solid performer from Toyota. Lacks many of the extras found on domestics. But, rather have reliability than extras

  Awsome family vehicle - 2002 Toyota Sienna
  By Jimtsr - September 11 - 10:00 am

  Really wanted to get a SUV, but wife insisted on the functionality of a mini van. Now that we have it, I am converted to the world of mini van fans. The Sienna XLE is a very well designed vehicle that offers practicallity and luxury at the same time.
