2009 Toyota Sienna consumer reviews

Bought used with 98K miles. Especially interested in Toyota Sienna for its AWD. Very comfortable. Not great fuel efficiency, but that was not a determining criterion. I plan to get a spare wheel and tire in case I get a flat on a long trip. A long trip over a weekend would probably be severely complicated by a flat tire and only the 100 mile useful life of the run-flat tires. Cannot comment on reliability - only had it less than a month.

We sold our 2006 Chrysler Town and Country Limited for this 2009 Sienna Limited. This Toyota structurally seems to be built better and although I "trust" the reliability of this Toyota more, I have to be honest in saying I would rather drive my old Chrysler. It is like driving a Lexus inside but the interior is a bit dated and the radio unit is just plain awful! We found this 2009 with just 30,000 miles so we plan to keep it for a while however I wish we would have bought a 2011 model.

Loved the Sienna, (It was my third one (2004, 2006, 2009) The ONLY problem, It couldn't pull my new travel trailer...had to move up to a 2010Sequoia.

This is the third Toyota I've owned and the second Sienna. You may pay a little more for this vehicle but it will serve you for years without any major problems. My last Sienna was 10 years old and had almost 200,000 miles on it. I never had any problems with it. In fact, I never even changed the spark plugs. The ride is very comfortable and you sit up right instead of laying down as in some vehicles. I carry large telescopes and having the back seats fold down into the floor is really handy.

Nothing to say the best of the best vans on the market. The AWD is working as in Subaru. This i will never change for another.

This is my 5th Sienna that I have owned and it is so far the best one. My first to current was a 1998 Sienna LE, 2001 Sienna XLE, 2005 Sienna XLE, 2008 Sienna Limited, and my current 2009 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD. The AWD system is amazing (if you are lucky enough to find one) and performs extremely well not only in wet conditions but also in dry conditions that handling is more controlled, stable, and has a tighter grip on the road. I am so glad I traded my 08 for this AWD Sienna because the difference is like night and day. The styling looks modern, luxurious, and very efficient. It handles much better than the Odyssey on the highway and gives a much quieter and softer ride. I can honestly say that this is the best minivan out there and I hope my upcoming 2012 Sienna will be just as good!

Well, I was devastated that I needed a mini-van for my job! But after driving this van for several years it has been a pleasure to drive and it holds everything I need. I drive 25K plus miles a year and I'm never stiff or tired after my long trips. I have the XLE Limited with AWD. I have been at a complete stop on a steep hill during a very bad snow storm due to the vehicle in front of me fishtailing up the hill and once I proceed up the hill there is absolutely no slipping. This vehicle goes great in the snow. I love the remote door openers, the sound system, the heated seats, etc..... If you must drive a mini van I'd highly recommend the Sienna. The only draw back I have is mine came with run flat tires. These are terrible as you must replace them every 20,000-25,000 miles. Be sure to get one WITHOUT these tires unless you arent driving that much. This is our vehicle of choice for family trips. I would buy anither one of these vans.

This is my second Sienna LE and it has the same problems with engine. It is not responsive and it has high gasoline consumption. When I try to accelerate it holds back and then jumps forward. Not very good in mountings. Gasoline consumption is far from advertised for the city and high way cycle. (I am very quiet driver). Some of the plastic is trembling inside the car. Some noses in the left passenger door. Changed the brakes twice for the first 70K. I find it very inconvenient that the car does not have day light sensor to turn on the lights when it becomes dark. I think that it is overpraised for the existing quality.

A much nicer ride and handling than our dodge caravan. Easy to use controls. The gear shift takes some getting used to.

Toyota realy has the best cars trucks & SUV's around today. I am so happy to be able to get into this van.
