  • HO-HUM - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I have owned this van for two months. I find the driver seat lumbar to be very uncomfortable even fully deflated. It doesnt compare in comfort to my BMW X5 seat. It is also a real gas hog. We are averaging about 14.5 mpg; I think toyota lies on their mpg ratings on the sales sticker. If the fuel consumption is going to be this low it should be a better performer. The dynamic laser cruise control can be a pain when it hits the brakes because of reflection from trucks in adjacent lanes not attempting to move into your lane. I usually run the cruise in "old fashioned" mode. The little curved mirror used to see the passengers is nearly useless.

  • Excellent - 2005 Toyota Sienna

    I got a very good deal for this puchase. The Toyota folks worked with me to find the car I was looking for and added a few extras in for free. The van is very roomy and rides like a luxury car.

  • Reliable and Versatile. - 2005 Toyota Sienna

    The internet brings out all the strange reviewers: people claiming horrible experiences and people who use this forum to complain about the dealers instead of the actual product. I have had this car new since August 2005. As of this writing it now has 190,000 miles. There are hard Long lsland, NY miles. The radiator finally rotted out. Is this unreasonable? The lift gate shocks failed at around 150,000 miles. I ordered a pair online for well under $100.00 and installed them in 10 mins. Mileage is very good for a huge vehicle. I still get 18 mpg city and 22 or so on the highway. The exhaust system is still all original. Nothing leaks. No problems with the sliding doors so far.

    The Sienna is my first minivan and my boys love it very much. During our first trip to LA we averaged an outstanding amount of 28.2 mpg. I love my Sienna.

  • I love my minivan! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I was one of those people who thought I would NEVER buy a minivan. After a lot of thought we decided to buy the 8 passenger LE model. I LOVE IT. It is so fun to drive. It doesnt feel like a van, it drives like a small car. I love having the space to carry groceries, strollers and everything else that kids need in the car. It is so comfortable for long road trips, and there is plenty of room so everyone is comfortable and not sitting on top of each other. We have plenty of room for our growing family. Im so glad we bought our minivan!

  • Fun passing cars when going uphill! - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    We have had our Sienna for 5 months and we love it. Comfort and performance are excellent. Adult and kid friendly. Never had a van that can so easily pass cars while heading up the hill to Tahoe.

  • The Lexus of minivans - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    Weve driven our Toyota Sienna for about 10,500 miles so far and find it to be absolutely excellent in almost every respect. The creature comforts are second to none, it is almost silent on the highway and the ride is delightful. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a vehicle with ample space.

  • One sophisticated Minivan - 2005 Toyota Sienna
    By -

    I never thought I would be caught dead in a minivan. I was wrong, this minivan hits home. We tested other SUVs and wagons (no other minivans) and none of them came close to the space utlization or refinment that the Sienna had. Ultimatly the decision came down to the Volvo XC70 or this. My mother had to choose one without testdriving it (my father did that with me)because we neede to jump on the deal. She chose the Sienna becase of the space and toyota reliability. If you are in the maket for a comfortable, reliable vehicle the Sienna is a phenomenal choice.
