2005 Toyota Sienna consumer reviews

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.

toyota lost some quality product on this model.after 2 year some rust appear inside the front door,the slidding door make a lot of noise when some dust enter in the mechanisme,and you have to pull realy hard to operate the handle.....hard to adjust by the toyota dealer. 16 000 km ,and i want to change my minivan ......grrrrrr realy bad slidding door.... i think ,the frame is not enough strong for the size of this minivan

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!

First Toyota I've owned after years of "Giving the American car manufacturers another chance" The real beauty though is that this vehicle is among the top 10 cars, according to cars.com, for supporting American jobs. Built in Princeton, IN with a high US parts content. I have 53,000 miles on my Sienna so far and I fully intend to put over 250,000 miles on it. And yes I do mean with the original engine and transmission. Only drawback is it doesn't have a lot of the interior amenities of other minivans, i.e. seats that fold into the floor and carousel storage under the floor. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase.
