Cons: It's still a Toyota - Little driving excitement.
Summary: Got our Sienna two weeks ago, put eight hundred some miles and we are very happy with the car so far. The purchase was easy - Rang up the Costco auto program in the morning, spoke with a participating dealer the next hour, and drove it home in the ... read more

Pros: Luxurious, relaxing ride for a minivan.
Cons: Battery saving feature stated in manual does not apply to side doors and tailgate.
Summary: I did months of research on every single minivan and finally settled on the 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE. Growing up with family members owning Toyotas/Lexus most of my adult life, I am accustomed to Toyota's reputation for attention to detail, quality control ... read more

Pros: AWD, fold flat rear seat,
Cons: run flat tires, no spare, over gadgetized things that break
Summary: August 2004, we moved to Truckee. I had a Honda Odyssey I loved but needed 4x4 or AWD for the snow we get here. That left either the Toyota Sienna or a Chrysler product since I still wanted a mini van. We went with the Toyota because of Chrysler's ... read more

Pros: Convenient, comfortable, great handling w/AWD, great for long trips. Great cargo capacity.
Cons: Expensive tires, hard to parallel park, factory sound system is lame.
Summary: I bought my '04 Sienna XLE in December of "03. I put 30,000 miles on it in one year. I love this car. Problems: The third row seat got stuck in the floor, one seat belt didn't retract properly. Not bad for a first-year model. Convenience: It has ... read more

Pros: Vehicle fits nice,good mileage
Cons: Lag in fast acceleration from stopped or low speed conditions. Poor laser cruise control tuning.
Summary: Having mixed emotions moving from our 2001 Tahoe to the 2004 Sienna XLE AWD. We are snowbirds traveling between northern and southwestern states and as such spend a lot of time riding. The Tahoe rode softer and felt heaver while the Sienna rides stiffer ... read more

Pros: Lots of Storage, AWD, Folding Rear Seats
Cons: Poorly Placed LATCH locations, Cheap center console, Poorly design rear passenger seat

Pros: Comfort, driving feel, features, quality, value, power, room.
Cons: Nothing serious (lack of Hybrid powerplant?)
Summary: We were looking for another FULL-TIME AWD vehicle (in addition to RAV4 AWD) offering safety, comfort and convenience and have narrowed down to Subaru Outback Wagon, Toyota Highlander 4WD & Sienna AWD. While being seriously set on Subaru, we decided to ... read more

Pros: GPS, DVD, HID, electric doors/hatch, fuel economy, comfort, Toyota reputation
Cons: Annoying dash rattle.
Summary: With 8200 miles on the clock and after having just returned from a 2500 mile trip, I'm still very pleased with this minivan. Power is adequate but not impressive. But it's a minivan, not a sports car. The most useful feature has been the GPS ... read more

Pros: For a minivan, it is attractive. Reliable. Lots of features.
Cons: Expensive. Doesn't have the Stow and Go seats like the Town and Country.
Summary: I have always owned a Jeep until now. My husband and I are expecting our first baby and found the Jeep I owned to be a little cramped for both of us, a new baby, baby accessories, my live-in mother and our golden retriever to fit in comfortably. We ... read more

Pros: Good Styling, Adequate performance, good rear seats
Cons: Poor handling in the snow. No snow tires on market to work with this vehicle.
Summary: The reviews that I have read in the mainstream press are accurate this is a good vehicle. I purchased mine in Sept 2003, currently I have over 4K miles on it. Items to consider: In the AWD model, the 2nd row seat can only be two passenger, not 3, ... read more

Pros: Flexible seating/storage configurations. AWD good (not great) in snow/ice.
Cons: Runflat tire: short lifespan; rear hatch still bad after recall; 'features' lead to battery drain
Summary: Bought new in 2004 due to a steep winter driveway and flexible seat/storage configuration. AWD run flat tires wear prematurely (see class action lawsuit which lead to reimbursement for 2nd set of tires; nb, we are on our third set with less than

Pros: Lots of room.
Cons: Run flat tires don't last over 15,000 miles.
Summary: I'm very disappointed in this vehicle. I have just over 34,000 miles on the van and already I've replaced 9 tires. Replacement tires must be special ordered and take several days to arrive. If you ever get a flat on one tire you cannot have it
