2005 Toyota Sienna consumer reviews

How do I love my Sienna? Let me count the ways. The Sienna has a very smooth ride. The engine is so quiet that sometimes it's hard to tell that it's running. There are 13 cupholders! Even with six of us in our Sienna we've never used all the cupholders. I love the sound system. You wouldn't expect a minivan to have good bass, but you can crank the bass way up. I love that my LE has a power sliding door and stereo controls on the steering wheel! (I love the button that temporarily turns off the sliding door when I don't want my kids opening it). I love the extra mirror inside that lets me see what my kids are doing. I love the stow and go seats! I love that there are power windows on the sliding doors. (I didn't even know vans came with those before I was test driving my Sienna.) I love that there is a button that opens the small rear windows. I love the digital display on the inner roof that tells you your current miles per gallon (or you can switch it to temperature or several different modes). I love the amount of storage space it has! Very roomy for passengers and huge amount of storage space in the back! My kids love that there is a separate AC/heat control located in the back of the van. (You can control it from the front or set it to rear and let the kids be in charge of theirs). I bought it at the end of May and it has never given me any trouble. I love my Sienna LE!

Like the Lexus of minivans. Rock solid and quite. Full luxury appointments and power everything. Nicest car we've owned

We bought our XLE AWD new and have been very pleased with it overall. The climate control system is great with three zones that can be managed separately. It drives like a dream, very smooth at highway speeds even with the run flat tires. Configurability of the interior is a nice feature. Seats can be moved around or completely removed. The rear seat folds into a well in the back so you have have a completely flat cargo area. Mechanically it has been very reliable.

We have owned our Sienna Limited for 5 years. When we purchased it new, it was rated over 90 by Consumer Reports, and described aptly as "Lexus of minivans". It was so true - the comparable Honda Odyssey Touring felt like a minivan, while the Sienna Limited like a luxury car. It has all the options like laser guided cruise, DVD Entertainment, Seat heaters, and window shades. It hauls kids, dog, and luggage in comfort on long drives with far better mileage than a SUV with comparable space. Best of all, it has been completely reliable with just dealer recommended maintenance and no expensive repairs.

We bought an 2005 XLE limited new. Just traded it in and I am so glad its gone. It was the most expensive car to maintain I have ever owned (even compared to MBenz). We put 6 sets (12 tires) of tire on it (run flats suck), two door motors, several belts, and a host of other money dumped into it. We took it to a mechanic that said dump it as radiator had issues as well as trnasmison. It was a great car by design, support comfortable, just was no good mechanically.

A great vehicle. Very well designed - both styling and functionality. We've owned the Sienna for 5 years and have never had a problem...and it gets 26-27 MPG on trips. AC is cold (colder than our same year Volvo)...and the back seat well, where the third seats stow, has so much room - you can put so much stuff back there with the third row seats up...and it is really easy to fold the seats down, flat to the floor. Any complaints are that the paint could be a bit thicker...but that's really the only complaint.

Reliable, comfortable, spacious, Hwy Millage 24.5 mpg, easy maintenance. Plan on buying another! Nothing more to write.

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.

great car for log trips and short aswell, my wife uses the toyota sienna around the city; but we use it for vacations.

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.
