Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Tons of room, smooth drive, easy maneuvering, automatic door and trunk opener, reverse signal,
Cons: optional step strip is a bit weak and is already weathered.
The Bottom Line: Great mileage, excellent run, ideal for people with short height.
Until I had Sienna, I had no idea what I was missing. Being 5 ft tall, driving a sedan seems a compromise by comparison. Sienna gives me that added height with extra comfort. Initially I was overwhelmed by the idea of driving such a big car ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, Decent Gas Mileage, Comfortable, Abundant Storage,
Cons: Limit Towing Capacity, More Expensive than comparable vans
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent van and it is worth the extra cost. It drives like a car!
I purchased a 2006 Toyota Sienna LE in March of 2010 and I've been driving it for about 6-7 months now. In general I'm very pleased with it! I purchased it with about 34,000 miles on it from a private party near where I live. It had ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Stand by what they make when they make a mistake they fix it
Cons: I have had bad luck with dealers not giving me good information.
The Bottom Line: I am a GM fan at heart but I love my Sienna and would recomend it but I hear the 07 and newer are worth the extra money.
We purchased an 06 sienna about a year ago and love it. The rear lift gate supports went out on it with only 55,000 miles. I called the local dealer to ask about any recalls knowing that the power lift gate was recalled for the support ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth ride, nice drive, many extras. Sienna earns high marks and a good resell value.
Cons: Price can be a hurdle.
The Bottom Line: Sienna is the best vehicle we’ve owned. It’s safe, handles well, and looks good. Many extras go into this van. We love it.
Car shopping is complex process. Besides narrowing down the type of vehicle you want, there’s the endless reading of reviews, physically checking the automobile out, and finagling the best deal possible. Not to forget obtaining financing and ... read more

Cons: None
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend, dependable, comfortable and great gas mileage.
We looked for over 2 years before deciding on a Toyota. We had a Mazda which we loved but it was a little too small. So we started our search. Right from the beginning we just fell in love with it. It had all the features we were looking for. It comes ... read more

Pros: Excellent Safey Ratings, Smooth drive, convenience, prettier than the others!
Cons: None yet!
The Bottom Line: If you are looking to buy a minivan look at the SIENNA it's worth it!
OMGosh! My husband and I were so anti mini van BUT...after baby #3 was about to arrive we needed a new vehicle. It seems we needed a bigger vehicle with each child, LOL! We started with a Subaru Forrester with kid #1, then an ML350 for #2, and finally ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Peppy, roomy, well-designed, far less expensive than Honda
Cons: Seat comfort is okay, but not stellar
The Bottom Line: A very fine choice for a minivan-- I don't think anyone who needs a minivan would be disappointed.
With the arrival of our second child and the subsequent grandparent visits, we realized that our 5-person seating vehicle was no longer big enough. It was time to step it up to a bigger car, particularly for the need to transport people AND stuff all at ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Attractive, practical, reasonably sporty and very comfortable.
Cons: Stereo is sub par, mileage so far, transmission drops into first too easily.
The Bottom Line: For large young families, this is the perfect vehicle, price, quality, space, style and economy cannot be beat. You will not be disappointed.
We went from 1 to 3 kids in only 2 years (twins for round two) so a large family hauler became an obvious requirement. We looked at the 3 row SUVs and the minivans and found the ease of maneuvering within the vehicle with child seats, space, economy and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Safe, Comfortable, Convenient.
Cons: It is a minivan.
The Bottom Line: If you have reached the point in life where a minivan is the most practical vehicle, be sure to put the Sienna on your test drive list!
I thought that after my son was born, we would be able to continue with my wife's Corolla, and my Ranger pick-up as our family vehicles. But within a week of returning home from the hospital with child seat, diaper bag and other parenthood necessities, ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quality, performance, roomy
Cons: Second row seats, could benefit from a slightly beefier engine, sliding door is slow
The Bottom Line: If it isn't the best minivan, it's close to it.
I wanted to rent something along the lines of a Mazda RX-8, but it wasn’t exactly a practical vehicle for my family of five adults to use for our few days in the San Francisco Bay area. I did my best to discourage one of my brothers from coming so ... read more

Mixed experiences

Author's Product Rating: 0
Recommended: No 
Pros: It is a very functional van that handles well and gets good mileage.
Cons: It would be nice if rear seat passengers could get out of the van.
In most respects we have good luck with our 06 Toyota Sienna, but have encountered a major problem over the past 2 years. The latch mechanism that opens the two rear sliding doors only seems to last about 2 years. We had to replace the

Don't buy the Sienna with run flat tires

Author's Product Rating: 0
Recommended: No
Pros: All wheel drive, a lot of space.
Cons: Run flat tires are terrible. Toyota not cooperative.
Although I love the Sienna itself, I hated the run flat tires that they come with. I began to have problems with the tires when the car was less than one year old. My dealer did not diagnose the problem correctly, and eventually I ended up having to

After discovering our family of 4 was going to be 6, my husband & I researched & purchased a 2006 Toyota Sienna. Being under 30, I was not prepared to have to settle into being a 'minivan Mom' just yet-but it was our only option. At first, my husband

Pros: Smooth handling, feels like you're floating in a bubble down the road.
Cons: Road and excessive wind noise on freeway driving.
I spent so much time researching minivans on the internet and reading reviews I thought I had narrowed my choices down to the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna. My number one consideration as a driver was interior cabin noise. I was trading in an

Very good family car.

Author's Product Rating: 50
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nearly effortless comfort and handling.
Cons: Could use more adjustments in the front driver and passenger seats for taller people.
We rented a Sienna for a family vacation, and found it to be comfortable, easy to operate and had excellent handling. On a 450 mile trip that was half and half highway and city driving, the mileage was slightly over 20mpg, not bad for a loaded vehicle.
