Great comfortable ride, but over 12 mos consistent problems with electronic transmission, (we have been told there is a recall coming for this issue), power lift gate in cold weather, (comes down unexpectedly while standing under) and now after 20k mi. we are told all 4 Run Flat tires are "bad" and Toyota won't replace. Service manager confirms "this has been a problem with these run flat tires."
One of the Best I've Had

Put 24K miles on in the 15 months with no problmes. Several 2000+ mile trips to hunt pens.Tires wore quickly but Toyota dealer gave me 2 Michelin and I bought 2 in a compromise. Much better mileage (24+ at 65-75 mph) than previous '02 Highlander LTD and many more passenger and cargo options. Wish they put the power passnger seat. Laser cruise is a pain but sonar is great for close parking garages. Haven't used sunroof but love window shades and did put extra tinting in up to the legal max after purchase. A great distance vehicle. '02 RX300 just gets used for local trips now. Rarely fold seats as keeping them up leaves plenty of cargo space in the 'hole' and can haul 7 people to dinner. Great

I have the 2004 XLE AWD. Dunlop run flat tires lasted 27k (more than others), and cost $300 each to replace at the dealer. Probably should have been replaced sooner, based on how bad they looked. Toyota no help - tried to blame it on my inflation levels - suggested using higher than recommended pressure. Spare tire kit is available, but I bought the van for the fold-down seats, and use them all the time - why give that up? Might get regular tires next time, and carry a spare on the roof rack...
Best I've Ever Owned

This is the first Toyota I've owned, and it won't be the last. The Sienna is far superior to the other (domestic) minivans I've driven. Handling, interior "fit and finish", exterior appearance are all excellent. Very smooth ride. Great storage capacity in the cabin - there are 4 storage bins of varying size in the front seat alone, in addition to the glove box. Very solid vehicle. Dual sliding doors are incredibly convenient when adults are riding in the back. Even rear seating is comfortable. Safety features are abundant. Definitely not the choice if budget is your first consideration, especially in the XLE and XLE Limited. It's worth every penny, however. Overall, GREAT vehicle.
I love it!

Well, we waiting until the 2005 Odyssey came out before making our decision on a van. One test drive with the 2005 Odyssey and we could not run back to the Toyota dealership fast enough. The Sienna is still in another class when it comes to ride quality. The New Odyssey retains its clunky and stiff jarring ride for 2005. Very disappointing. However, the good news is we got a great price on our new Sienna because the completion. We acted like we were on the fence the whole time we were debating the price. The price kept on dropping the more we talked up the 2005 Odyssey. Thanks Honda! You let us buy the better vehicle for less money.
