Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Reliability, performance, durability, reliability, did I mention reliability?
Cons: Uncomfortable seats for long drives, fuel economy.
The Bottom Line: RELIABLE AS HECK! Good looking, no nonsense minivan with decent performance and lots of convenient options.
I bought my 1999 Toyota Sienna LE with 64,000 miles on it after getting really tired of the constant repairs on a Plymouth minivan. The Sienna now has 108,000 miles and nothing has gone wrong. I have done all the recommended services and changed ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious interior with compact-car agility. Long-term reliability and durability.
Cons: Mild brake noise. Supposed oil sludge buildup.
The Bottom Line: After eight years, I still love it. This minivan provides a comfortable ride, agile driving, small on the outside, spacious on the inside, and very reliable.
The first new car I ever bought was the 1999 Toyota Sienna. At the time, SUVs were the cool thing, and a commercial summed up my feelings with a young professional couple stating "we are not minivan people." My children were 8 and 9 years old, and I ... read more

When my wife and I discovered that our first child was on the way we quickly decided that it was time to grow up and buy a mini-van for our new family. An old friend of mine was a salesman at the local Toyota dealership and he immediately steered us ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: SAFETY!, gas mileage, cost, comfort, relatively easy to remove seats
Cons: trunk space, would be better with seats that fold flat (into floor)
The Bottom Line: Buy it! This car is reliable, extremely safe according to the ratings folks, comfortable, competitively priced, and even nice to look at.
After my husband and I made a 15-hour car trip with a baby, I vowed that I wouldn't make another long trip until we had a much bigger vehicle! We had already had problems trying to lug some larger items home, like a computer and a lawnmower.

After reading the opinions about the Toyota Sienna, I was struck by the oddity that few seemed to find anything not to like. That is incredible--perfection almost never happens, even from Toyota. After some thought, I can tell you two things I don't ... read more
