"Problem First - it's a VAN, doesn't work like my other 06 highlander on the pothole. Second - for road noise, I replaced those RFT OEM tires, and yes i bought a spare tire with ring for emergency. Good point - It's AWD, handle better the 4WD, i amazed. - Duel AC works really good - after third row, huge space for cargo - very low maintenance cost."

"After years of driving T&Cs, switched to Sienna and am actually embarrassed I waiting so long. For 4 years this car has been incredibly reliable and worry free. For 50,000 miles it has only needed oil changes every 5,000. Nothing breaks! Great mileage, reliability, fit & finish, comfort, utility, and in a recent east coast blizzard, it got me and family home! Would not think of purchasing any other van in the future."

"I have driven my 2005 Toyota Sienna van for the past three years, and I regret buying it. Problems I have encountered are very poor visibility out the rear window, seats that are uncomfortable on long trips, "truck-like" feeling when driving, and poor quality of interior trim. I have had three other minivans over the past twenty years, and they were all more comfortable, more easily maneuvered, easier to park and better for long trips. On the plus side, the gas mileage is not bad for a minivan (19.6 in town) and it is very reliable in the mechanical sense. I would recommend looking for other minivans before buying a Sienna. I bought strictly on the Toyota name and should have test driven more before buying."

"I bought this car new in 2005, it has 90,000 miles on it and no problems so far. I switched from a Dodge grand caravan, and this is much better, smoother, more quiet and reliable. I love it."

"I bought an All wheel drive Le for $32,000.Although I have 69,000 miles it still runs great!I bought it new in April 2004.It is very comfortable even though it is cloth. Since I live in snowy Montana when the snow gets on the car it rusts. But thats my only dissapointment so now my sliding doors look all gross. It is great for my 3 children with the 7 passenger.They can walk through the second rows captain seats to get into the third row,instead of jumping over the seats itself. Overall its an excellent car and I would most certainly get it if ou are looking for a minivan.So say by Oddeseys theres a new minivan in town!"

"Though few of us want to admit that we love our mini-van, I can say that. I love the ease of use, the quiet, comfortable ride, and the convenience of piling in my three children and moving on quickly. I don't love that the doors freeze shut in the winter time or the lack of storage in general in minivans, but in the main, this car has been great for my family and me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with more than two children."

"This vehicle is very expensive to own - on the AWD version (which we own), the run-flat tires only last about 15k miles. It costs an outrageous $1,300 per set to replace them. The vehicle also only averages 15 mpg during almost any driving situation (highway, city, winter, etc.). Very disappointing - nearly every crew cab pickup does better nowadays!"
