Overview & Reviews

The 2009 Toyota Sienna is unchanged other than minor feature revisions. There's a new option package for the Sienna LE that includes Bluetooth and rear-seat entertainment, and the XLE's optional parking sensors now cover both the front and rear of the van.

• Smooth and powerful V6, available all-wheel drive, seven- or eight-passenger seating.

• Expensive option packages, uninspired handling even for a minivan.

  All I Hoped For - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By bucaneer - June 3 - 3:36 pm

  Purchased the 2009 LE recently and took on a 1,500 mile round trip. Highway only mileage was 26 mpg and 27 mpg on consecutive fill ups. Mixed mileage has been roughly 19-20 mpg. Seats are extremely comfortable on a long drive. No rattles, no squeaks, no blemishes on finishes or rough edges. Power doors are very easy to use as are the middle row seats to tumble and the back seats to fold into the floor. The back storage well is huge and swallows gear and upright suitcases. Gauges are easy to read with one exception. I am six foot three and cannot see the top portion of the speedometer even with a movable steering wheel. Great highway cruiser and super easy to handle, does not wander.

  My 4th Sienna - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By Sienna Mom - March 31 - 1:40 am

  I love my Sienna! My friends cant believe that I traded in my BMW M3 for a minivan. Being a mom, family safety and comfort was at the forefront of my decision but I started to really like the aesthetics of the minivan. I was surprised at the turn radius and also the pep. I have to say that I cannot live without the remote sliding doors/trunk, AWD, DVD, and rear camera. Ive been trading in my old Siennas for a new one every 2 years or so because I love them so much (not because Ive had any problems with them). I keep changing colors and havent yet decided which is my favorite yet. I love the AWD and run flat tires (makes me feel safer with the family on board).

  First Time Toyota Owner - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By New Sienna Owner - February 5 - 4:26 am

  I purchased my new Sienna LE about two weeks ago. I needed a safe, comfortable, reliable and good looking van to carry my family. I got all of that – plus a surprise – great gas mileage. The overhead multi-info display was showing an average of 27 mpg while driving on the freeway but I expected it was lower. It turned out to be 25.7 mpg from fill-up to fill- up. The interior trim looks beautiful. A road I must pass over every day has lots of potholes and patches. My other vehicle rattles like crazy over this area but the Sienna does not make a sound and stays in complete control. All-in-all, a great vehicle and a great value.

  Loving our new car!! - 2009 Toyota Sienna

  This is the best minivan period! I love the roominess of the Sienna inside, the handling is OK, and performance is great.

  Simply The Best - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By John - November 25 - 5:16 am

  I looked at the Honda Odyssey and The Chrysler T&C and I think the Sienna has them beat by a long shot. I got more features for my money on the Sienna LE. I thought the Sienna rode like a Lexus. The Sienna has a 266HP V6 and it moves this van with some authority. I also get 21 mpg city/26 hiway.

  Expanding family, so . . . Sienna XLE - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By Fatguyinalittlecoat - April 19 - 1:20 pm

  We looked at a lot of competitors, 3- row suvs, and felt this gave us the best compromise of function, mileage, features. It is a quiet, nicely put together ride. It came with the features (DVD, leather, power everything) we wanted. If you have kids and take frequent road trips, this is the way to go. We drove the Nissan, Honda (3x), had a Ford (loud), Mazda5, and checked out the Hyundai but felt this was the way to go after researching and testing. I really liked the Mazda5 but with 2 kids and 1 on the way, we decided a "full-size" minivan is what we needed.

  Outstanding - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By bobsienna - December 12 - 4:53 am

  This is the best vehicle that I have ever had. It is very comfortable and a joy to drive. There is plenty of room to carry things. I wish I had it when my kids were in college to haul many pairs of shoes. It gets good mileage on the highway but not so good in town, however I drove a PT Cruiser for a few days and only got 2 MPG better mileage.

  Traded in 03 Odyssey or 09 Sienna XLE - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By carolynbe - April 23 - 6:26 pm

  We just traded in our 03 Odyssey EX-L w/DVD for an 09 Sienna XLE w/ DVD & leather + xtras. I thought my Odyssey was the ultimate family friendly car but this is even better. The Sienna is very well thought out with lots of storage compartments scattered about. Very easy for 3rd row passengers to get into with tumble-forward 2nd row seats. The drive is very smooth and car like. With the Ody, I often felt there was a huge amount of car behind me. The Sienna is a significantly quieter inside than the Ody. All the seats are very comfortable. I really like the center console in the front row - it has a deep center storage bin that is perfect for the DVD headphones.

  My Very First Van! My 6th Toyota! - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By carlady - February 5 - 10:13 pm

  Being price conscious we opted for the CE model. It has all the features we need. We didnt need a van when our children were young, but need it for the grandchildren. Two weeks after we purchased the van, we took a 2000 mile road trip. That was when we truly fell in love with this van. We grew to appreciate the comfort of the seats and the handling of the van. It is amazingly easy to park and gets adequate mileage on a trip. We got 26- 28 mpg on a trip. In town we get an average of 20 mpg. We keep wondering why we didnt get a Sienna years ago!

  Very satisfied - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By lax315 - August 14 - 11:20 am

  From the moment my wife and I drove the new van we were completely hooked... it drives really smooth and effortlessly. I am really surprised and happy at how well the dealership has been since we purchased the vehicle and could not be more satisfied with the sales staff. We have five children and the vehicle is very durable and spacious for the kids, and the rear compartment is extremely valuable with all of its room for storage. The dvd and sound system is amazing, love the comfortable seats and leg room in the interior. The van controls are really easy and my wife became very comfortable with them quite quickly. Overall this van is a solid 9.5 out of 10. Would recommend van to anybody.
