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.

  Grille design allows condenser damage - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By Dave Shantz - October 15 - 9:23 pm

  I just found out my AC condenser leaked all the freon due to a stone impact. The openings in the front grille measure two inches by three- quarters of an inch. This design allows stones to impact the condenser directly behind the grille. The $1300 repair cost should be covered under warranty, but its NOT!!!! I bought a new car so that I wouldnt have to pay for these kind of repair costs. Buyer beware.

  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.

  Toyota...American Stye - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By chastek - January 12 - 6:50 pm

  Our van serves as daily people hauler and weekend plaything for a family with four kids. Its very roomy with plenty of interior storage and cleverly designed seats. The fit and finish is not as good as our Lexus, but is probably better than average. The powertrain is super smooth and it never lacks for power, even when fully loaded. We average 22mpg in mixed driving.

  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.

  Hate it! - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By Kimberli - October 5 - 8:10 pm

  We traded in our 2002 "Jalopy" Grand Caravan for this van. It is my first brand new car EVEr! I am so disappointed in the reliability. Ive had a front end noise that dlrshp cant duplicate, my brake/accelerator footpad shivers at certain speeds and in certain road conditions. Again dlrshp cannot duplicate. Most importantly, long road trips 4+ hours are horrible. The "lumbar support" is unsupportive and lower back hurts after just 2 hours!

  Wish I would have kept my caravan - 2009 Toyota Sienna
  By minivan mom - June 16 - 6:16 pm

  I traded my 2005 Grand Caravan in on the 2009 Toyota sienna because everyone told me they have the best quality (WRONG). Its been in the shop more than I have owned it with motor and trans issues and the elusive noise they cant seem to find. Give me back my grand caravan.

  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.
