2005 Toyota Sienna consumer reviews

A great family vehicle perfect for long trips or around town. Very comfortable and very reliable. Hate to sell it but have a new car coming and don't nead 4 cars.

The vehicle is a workhorse. We use it mainly for travel. It has sustained multiple cross country trips. Very reliable inside and out, still in great condition mechanically and in appearance. I owned a Voyager and Grand Caravan and they pale in comparison!

Not a lux vehicle, but perfect for a family. Purchased in 2014 from single owner, we replaced the timing belt immediately as per recommended mileage maintenance schedule. Swapped out run flat tires for best mpg, but had to stow spare in trunk (annoying, but acceptable as it is a deep, good sized trunk). Great pick-up even in mountains, handled rough roads wonderfully (snow, ice, mud, ruts in gravel) with all-season tires; added a hitch for bike rack, but it was scraping due to low height. We called it 'the limousine' when we got it because it felt so spacious! Loved the full seats in middle row for coast to coast travel with room for four car seats, plus a cooler, entertainment and personal items all accessible. Probably needs new seals on front doors because it is so loud on the highway that kids cannot hear audio clearly on highest volume (happened to our Rav4, also). Biggest complaint: poor design for passenger doors in winter because the snow melts and freezes both of the sliding doors shut. Passenger door handle is also apparently not intended for much use: the mechanism for the sliding door broke and would have been $1000 to fix, so we opted to leave it manual, but over four years we replaced the rear passenger door handle 3 times! (Don't bother having it painted is what I am saying). Some trouble in 2016 with radiator/thermostat was attended to, then again recently (2018) radiator related problems led to an overheated engine. We missed the urgency of the situation because we had various sensors checked for the same flags (check engine and VSC lights) over the last few months that turned out to be more minor issues and because there were no smells or temps to alert us until too late, so now we are toying with replacing the engine because aside from minor cosmetics, everything else is in great shape. The Sienna is hard to come by used because they hold their value and their owners hold onto them!

Meets all my need. I don't mind buying a newer model of it(2011) to be presized. Am actually looking for that model with low mileage.

I love owning a vehicle that is stylish, comfortable and never fails me. It took 12 years and 180,000 miles of just putting scheduled maintenance on ours before anything at all went wrong. The radiator started leaking. Easy fix. Spacious and comfortable, we had the XLE so leather seats are so easy to clean with children ruling the back seats. . Dont skimp on that. I could fit ridiculous amounts of stuff in there when we would go shopping, appliances, lumber, you name it, it fit. and we pulled a 12 foot cargo trailer with this a LOT and eventually the suspension got tired but never entirely gave up. Get the XLE and you will love it.

This is a car that gets the job done and more! I will recommend this car to a family with kids. You will love it!

I used my Sienna for moving supplies such as tools and parts, as well as pleasure. The body has no rust. Quiet ride on Continental tires. Gets about 21 mpg. The 6 cylinder 3.3L engine performs well. XLE model has heated seats for cold MI winters. All assessories still work ok. I never used the third row seats that are fold into the floor. My bank has given me a loan for a newer model. Love these Siennas.

This car meet all my needs, took me to school job vacations ,trips. I'd loved it. Never have problems with and runs excellent.

Versatile vehicle. Good for local commute, long road trips, or trips to Lowes. Found it to be very reliable.

I never thought that I would love a minivan, but the Toyota Sienna AWD is a comfortable vehicle to drive. I bi ight the AWD because I live in the North East, and I'm tired of getting stuck in the snow. I'm looking forward to my 1st Blizzard with the Sienna to see how it handles.
