Toyota Sienna

"Great acceleration for a mini van. It feels as if you are driving a sports car."

"I love the tight turn ratio. This is the best of all cars I have ever driven. This van handles extremely well. There really is nothing negative about driving it."

"The V6 gives surprisingly good acceleration for a minivan. It accelerates easily up hills and passing is never a problem. Steering is adequate, but nothing special."

"Very smooth you have to be careful not to speed."

"Smooth, serene, silent on the highway."

"for a minivan has decent acceleration smf port"

"handling is good but the acceleration is sluggish"

"I have had two Dodge Caravans, and the acceleration and handling of the Sienna is FAR superior to the previous Caravans (1984 and 1886 models). I particularly find the acceleration to be excellent when entering onto the highway. The turning radius is also excellent, especially for a minivan."

"Surprisingly quick for such a large, heavy minivan."

"Drives like a car! Handling and acceleration are much better than you’d expect from a minivan."

"Drive is a little on the soft side. Other than liking a little firmer suspension I have no other complaints. Toyota has a winner in the Sienna."

"The Sienna accelerates like a race car and handles very well considering it's size. Besides the RAV4, very responsive to driver input."

"The Sienna drives well and the turning radius is great, but the gas pedal is touchy and it is not a quiet ride. Even after driving it for 3 years, it is hard to gauge the gas pedal starting out. Otherwise a very good car."

"It is the easiest car we have ever had to drive. We don’t get tired on long trips"

"Acceleration is fine for a minivan, but the handling is wonderful. My sister said it best when she said “it handles like a much smaller vehicle!‿"

"Very smooth ride."

"Acceleration is great; on par with most modern vehicles. Very great for long highway trips or back roads that have gravel. In soft sand you really do need 4 wheel drive. While towing the Sienna holds up well accelerating and braking almost on par with most trucks (stay below the 3500 lb limit). Smaller boats, motorcycles, and ultra lite travel trailers are all doable with a Sienna."

"Very smooth acceleration. If I need to pass a car, I can quickly get back into my driving lane."

"Strong engine, Quick steering"

"Has good acceleration and is a breeze to drive."

"Very good acceleration and superb handling"

"V6 engine gives good performance when needed, but still quite economical"

"acceleration"

"It has enough power and gets decent mileage"

"Handles well, easy to handle"

"Great ride, very comfortable and steady on the road."

"Excellent acceleration and excellent turning radius"

"Handles well for a larger vehicle, accelerates and drives well."

"It's a heavy vehicle that doesn't know it. It has enough power to scoot in and around traffic with little effort."

"acceleration very poor--car is under powered-handles well"

"for a minivan, the handling is very good. very good and responsive acceleration. has the feel of an older v8."

"All v ery acceptable and without and malfunctions"

"To this day I still have to be careful accelerating from a stoplight or stop sign. It really wants to go. Great acceleration and power. It handles very nicely even when I use it for pulling or small trailer."

"Acceleration is good even when towing 2000 lb trailer"

"Extremely smooth, quiet and refined ride."

"Very comfortable ride and fairly quite"

"Acceleration is great and highway ride is very good, but it corners like a tired whale."

"It handles well and has good acceleration."

"good acceeration getting onto the x-ways."

"Very easy to steer and very smooth."

"The sienna has excellent acceleration and handling"

"The car is too large and too difficult to park for ANY city"

"Acceleration is excellent, on major highways it fast and smooth."

"In ordinary driving use, accelerates & drives well. Did not do so well as towing vehicle for 2500-lb tent trailer. Have 2WD model, inadequate traction for pulling trailer up gravel driveway--should have gotten 4WD. Also, hitch mount had to be mounted too low to ground."

"Very good acceleration"

"It's not a sports car but very secure."

"Acceleration is very good with the V-6 engine and gets good gas mileage considering the vehicle weight."

"Never had a van before and I really like it. Best things are power and the AC. Worst is road/wind noise."

"Turning radius"

"Plenty of power, great visual all around..Seating arrangement is good, although for 8 would be very crowded..There is some tire noise, may be to type of tire when purchased..(Michelin)...Very satisfied.with the vehicle"

"The "magic carpet" ride you mentioned is just that ...... acceleration is fine except that occasionally at the wrong RPM in some gear, not much happens ......... handling is not so great; ponderous w/ understeer, but the electric steering is worse yet, and provides no road feel whatsoever. Additionally, the beltline or something is too high for me: I can't ever pull straight into a parking space any longer (after decades of carefully parking). My vehicle is always off to one side or the other"

"Handling is not as good as my 2009 sienna which has excellent handling."

"This is a VMI conversion handicap accessible van. The suspension is jacked up because of the conversion and the vehicle is a bit unstable, especially when cornering at speed. This vehicle also has a intermittent braking problem that the dealer cannot figure out. Once in a while it feels like the brakes go from power brakes to non power brakes and you suddenly have to brake much harder than usual to stop the vehicle."

"The run-flat tires were flawed/unsafe and required replacement. Extreme vibration due to failed cords in tire walls."

"Good handling and acceleration for size of vehicle."

"6 speed transmission is much smoother and more responsive than the old version was"

"Road grip on wet surfaces going up hill from a stop is very poor. Need to make sure there is a lot of distance with on coming traffic to ensure a safe merge with traffic because weight of van causes tires to not grip the road."

"When going down hill, there is absolutely no compression which is hard on pads and rotors, not to mention the proper function of the cruise control (gains speed)"

"much better turn radius than other minivans I have owned"

"Very nice to drive"

"Very impressive acceleration. Handles great."

"The run flat tires make too much noise."

"Better than expected."

"Every seat is comfortable - eight. Seats move well for adjustments"

"Most comfortable ride I’ve ever had. Handles nicely but the ride comfort of the seats, well as my wife put it, if’s like sitting in your most comfortable seat in your living room!"

"Really smooth ride"

"I love the adjustments you can make for each driver and the memory button. When I drive after the wife all I do is hit the number 2 button and the seat is exactly where I want it. Very comfortable. Very little noise and a great ride."

"Very comfortable ride, but somewhere in the back of the vehicle, there's a persistent rattling noise that I can't find because I'm always driving when I hear it. I assume it's one of the adjustable rear seats."

"I am a disabled vet with a lot of pain if seating for long periods. The seats in the sienna have six way adjustments and a lumbar support that make it feel like seating in your most comfortable chair at home. The arm rest adds to the comfort. On my trips to Canada I drive as mush as 18 hours a day. I could not do this without the seats in my Sienna."

"Comfortable but too much road noise bleeds through, stifling normal conversation."

"very comfortable seating"

"The seats get tiring on long trips."

"Comfortable and quite for a larger vehicle. Travel is easy."

"Most comfortable, quiet and best riding van I have owned. It is better than most sedans I have owned"

"Comfortable long distance ride."

"Relatively comfortable with some road noise"

"The Sienna is very comfortable. It rides well and has little noise."

"Transport kids to and from school with leg room for them and reach access"

"The ride is a bit rough, but we have the AWD version which requires run flat tires. The seats are comfortable even after long drives."

"I think the sienna is very noisy but the dealer says it is normal. newer ones are quieter"

"It is very roomy, carries 7 passengers and lots of luggage with ease. Back three seats fold down easily, making big lfat area for carrying furniture etc.. On the other hand it is noisier than we'd hoped."

"Lots of room in all seats and smooth noiseless ride"

"I wish that I had multiple driver memory for seats, mirrors and steering wheel."

"The seats stain and mar very easily. Our previous Sienna had better fabric"

"Easily seats a large crew of kids and adults in comfortable seats. Environmental controls ensure everyone is as cool or warm as they want to be."

"Seats are very comfortable"

"Roomy, rides and drives well. Would like a little better gas mileage."

"There has been a mysterious metallic squeak since we bought the van, especially in extreme heat/cold. I've taken it back to the dealer, but then it cannot be reproduced. It is my only comfort issue. Otherwise, 50k miles later and we still LOVE our Sienna, especially for our road trips."

"Seats are comfortable"

"Very comfortable vehicle with good acceleration and easy to be in over a long trip."

"car is noisy and the ride is not smooth,"

"seats very uncomfortable--very noisily--ride good"

"It is practically impossible to clean or retrieve a dropped object from between the seats and the console. The console one our 2007 sienna was easily removable."

"The Sienna is the ultimate traveling machine for any weather conditions. The FWD is amazing to drive in the snow as well. The seats are comfortable and ride is luxurious."

"Middle row and back seats are tilted up. More difficult for car seat positioning. Not able to use middle seat in middle row for car seat. Front seats do not support the whole legs, in other words they are too short. They are also not wide enough. The outsides are curved upwards a little bit. For women with lots of hair, the head rests make it difficult to wear a pony tail or put it up. There is plenty of leg room in the front and the middle rows. The back is okay, but if the middle seats are moved forward a tad there can be plenty in the back."

"Seats are comfortable. Middle seats have footrests. Noise is higher than normal, but not overwhelming. The ride is smooth and comfortable."

"Seats are good but road noise is way too high. It may prevent me from getting the next one"

"Very comfortable, you have to be careful because you don’t realize how fast you are going. Usually you are over the speed limit."

"Front seats are comfortable on long drives. Middle seats comfy but way too much work to remove when extra storage is needed. Other than a little too much wind noise very satisfied with overall comfort."

"Very comfortable seats for long drives. Ride is smooth and vehicle absorbs bumps very well. Engine and wind noise are negligible."

"JUST VERY COMFORTABLE"

"Wind and road noise is loud"

"I figured I'd put this in at this point. It is a handicap modified Toyota Sienna. Modifications done by BraunAbility and Vision. The Sienna was the only one that came with a rear entry ramp, hence the purchase."

"I have back problems. Use the lumbar support built into the driver's seat. Comfortable ride. Problems: One question you did not ask in this section is about any body hardware problems in 2018 on this 2014 Sienna. On the driver's side sliding passenger door, the upper cable rusted out and broke. It would cost about $1,600+ to repair with a new cable AND the motor assembly. I chose to have the door deactivated."

"Comfortable seats and roomy cabin."

"Very comfortable on long rides and easily adjustable"

"Very satisfied with the comfort and quiet in the cabin. However when partially or fully loaded the ride is a bit rough and can bottom out."

"I love how much room there is in the back seats. Way more than other minivans"

"The seats in the Sienna Limited are very comfortable and you can adjust them to fit what ever your size and reach is. The second row seats become lunge seats including footrests and are used often by our kids or even adults while waiting for a kid to get out of a sports practice. The third row is easy to access and fits 3 people very easily."

"Very comfortable seats, stable ride, little exterior noise, are outstanding."

"The sienna is an excellent highway car. Seating comfort is exce,,net and the ride is high on the road."

"Quiet and comfortable"

"easy getting in and out. seats adjust in all directions. soft ride for a large van."

"Driving a Toyota Sienna is like being in a luxury automobile. The van drives very smooth, the seats are padded just right. I always feel I am in control of the vehicle and enjoy going on trips to the coast. Plenty of room to meet all our luggage needs. Great for seniors. Easy access in and out of the van."

"very noisy. cannot hear others"

"The run flat tires were a mistake. they are noisy, and reduce the smoothness of the ride."

"A very comfortable vehicle to drive and reliable."

"Rough loud ride due to run flat tires being the only option on this AWD vehicle with no spare. Run flats lasted to just under 20,000 miles and were replaced with another set. We had a flatten after one year of second set and they were down to 5/32 tread left. Nobody in large town except dealer offered run flats after overnight stay awaiting tire shops to search for run flats. Dealer then said we had to replace all tires because if tread was more than 2/32 difference in depth from new tire to use..."

"It has gotten a little noisier"

"We have the leather seats and they are mostly supportive. On long trips the offset of the seat both driver and passenger causes me to become uncomfortable whether driving or as a passenger. The problem lies with me almost having to sit sideways at times in order to stretch my feet out. I am only 5' 8" so it is not due to me being tall. Sitting this way puts stress on my sciatica and causes discomfort. Even though there is more insulation than in an SE, our XLE is still has ore road noise than I..."

"Very comfortable on long rides."

"Driver's seat is slightly uncomfortable due to seat being too narrow."

"Road noise drowns out radio unless you have it at a very high volume. Would have expected a quieter cabin."

"Noise is an issue. Rattle in the dash and outside noises."

"The front seats are not as comfortable as the 2005 seats in the previous Sienna. Road noise is way too loud. There is good leg room in the back seats and good head room everywhere."

"Seats are very comfortable when driving long distances. Road noise is minimal."

"Ride is very smooth. Like you're riding on rails."

"Loud wind noise. You have to steer - no relaxing"

"The most comfortable seating I've been in!"

"the third row seating is a bit difficult to take down and put back up for someone my age."

"Road noise is louder than I experienced with my previous Honda Odyessey"

"The Sienna is a great long distance cruiser with comfortable seats and low noise levels. The climate control system is not the best, as it does not always maintain the temperature indicated on the display. The ENTUNE radio controls are TERRIBLE, requiring too much "eyes off the road" time to select stations or change functions. These controls should not be on a touch screen that requires the selection of multiple levels of buttons to select a station. Buttons should have tactile feedback tha"

"Foldable/movable armrests are too small on bucket seats. Ride is comfortable, but could be smoother."

"Seats for long drive"

"As I stated before... A little less plastic... Easier operations of tge electronics"

"Very smooth ride. Comfortable cloth seats. Versatile climate control."

"Far worse than the Odyssey I had before. Limited cargo space available when center seats removed because of protruding sharp seat rails. Indicated that I required center cargo room but was not told this was a problem. Main reason I hate the car."

"We prefer the bench seats vs the Captains Chairs because of the ease of putting in the safety car seats for the children. The "jump" seat provided between the Captains Chairs looks and feels like a suicide seat to us. We would never put a child or dog in it and yet it is too small for an adult. It is dangerous and useless."

"cabin noise is too high. seats in middle difficult to remove and reinstall."

"For a tall drive like myself, more adjustment of the steering wheel is required. The noise level is a little high."

"Does not have dual driver memory for seat and mirrors."

"Climate control is great. Front, back, passenger all have their own control."

"Overall comfort is very good. Road noise is a little on the high side at times. Seats are very comfortable. Only down side is the driver's side seat trim has a tendency to split at the front left joint. Bad design and/or materials"

"Automatic setting works well - no separate adjustments needed once temperature is selected."

"The Sienna has more than it should of road noise. The car itself is fine, it just is'nt well insulated from outside noise. The passenger seat doesn't have a height adjustment and that affects leg comfort."

"My vehicle is an accessible conversion van which I thought cost too much for what you get."

"Got the vehicle at almost 30000 after the discounts. Toyota dealership diagnosed and found problem with the suspension at 75000 miles; replaced same day no charge. Toyota has held up excellent on long road trips. Even after hitting a tire in the road and damaging the vehicle; still drivable and completed vacation. Tows like a champ. Can tow a 19 foot boat and still accelerate decent. V6 is a amazing deal and very versatile from sea to shining sea."

"for the best deal buy at end of year and shop around on internet and different dealers we drove 200 miles and saved 10000 dollars"

"One of the best values for your money in the market today. Comfortable smooth drive, plenty of power, I feel very safe because the Sienna handles like a luxury car. We have had our Sienna for more than three years with very few problems. But we did have our battery replaced. Plan to buy a new Sienna in a few years. I am almost 80 and we need reliable safe transportation."

"It is an all wheel drive and has no spare tire. To not have a spare on a heavy all wheel drive vehicle like this one is unbelievable. I has cost us about $1000 per year in towing, replacement, damage, hotels while waiting, Etc. because of these terrible Bridgestone tires. They are an expensive failure - they don't run flat for any distance at all - less than 10 miles. I would never even consider buying another vehicle that has no spare tire."

"Awesome vehicle, love the reliability never worrying about breaking down. Lots of power and exceleration. The AWD is great in winter and back trails"

"Resale value is great. Last forever"

"comfort, nice ride, 30 mpg on long trips. no leaks from under the hood does not burn oil"

"Excellent value, comfort and performance for the price we paid"

"The Toyota Mini Van is one of the best values of any vehicle on the road. You get more for your money. A great van with plenty of horse power and a plenty of room for baggage. Dollar for dollar I don't see any other vehicle that offers so much luxury for such a reasonable price."

"It is a very well made car, drives well and holds 8 passengers. Seats can be folded or removed to be able to carry a lot in it."

"good value for price, would buy it again if needed"

"Holds value very well - dealer was willing to negotiate so I got a good deal on the price."

"This is a family car and is well-suited to carrying around grandchildren and passengers as well as a transport vehicle for my wife's show dogs"

"The Sienna is priced competitively and the comfort, performance, and reliability are exceptional."

"Did not want a sun/moon roof but had to accept one. At least one favorite feature of our 2006 Sienna had been dropped (rear vents controlled from drivers' position)."

"The LE model includes much equipment considering this is a lower level model - all equipment works very well."

"We were able to get all of the bells & whistles with our Sienna as opposed to the Honda mini van and saved thousands of dollars. We are extremely happy with our Toyota Sienna vans & will continue to buy them. Toyota is a fantastic company!!"

"i got a very useful suv for a good price"

"Of course it would be far better if car cost less."

"Too many add on dealer and distributor costs"

"roomy and comfort"

"Purchase used vehicle with very low mileage from reliable dealer"

"Well designed, comfortable, plenty of space"

"Should get far better mpg (20mpg overall) but my 2000 Voyager got 22mpg so not thrilled to get less. Handles well, feel safe with it. Big enough to carry grandkids (some)."

"The salesman lied to me about this car. It has no specific safety features and it gets horrible mileage."

"Large vehicle that's dependable quite and comfortable"

"When reliability is considered, it's the best value in minivans."

"Lots of plastic , car Looks and feel cheaply made. You don't get what you paid for."

"2014 is not as well built as the 2007. Toyota has clearly cheapened some features."

"Comfortable ride ,roomy great for long trips some road noise radio controls are too technical"

"I expected much better reliability from Toyota. In less than 36k miles, we have needed repairs on the following: air conditioning (evaporator coil cut itself on an untrimmed plastic edge in the plenum), radio/nav headunit (stopped syncing via bluetooth for unknown reasons), and drivers side power sliding door (intermittently reaches 6 inches from closing and autoreverses.)"
