Solid car but torture to drive

The lack of support in driver's seat combined with pronounced leaning into turns can result in chronic back problems. The pain is not lessened by the lumbar that feels like a football in your back. Fuel mileage extremely poor. I regret buying it.

Purchased new in 2006 and driven only on well paved roads in an urban environment. Additional more frequent than would normally be expected of the Toyota brand, I consider excessive. All routine and recommended maintenance and or repairs was done always according to recommended schedule or Toyota service dept recommendations. The cabin design and comfort of this vehicle are outstanding. Reliability from a mechanical perspective has been VERY disappointing. Also, there have been numerous service bulletins and recalls over the years I owned and have driven this vehicle. Toyota always has been rated highly but my experience is such that the brand would not be my frost choice in the future nor could I recommend it to others. Also, my repair experience history leads me to question and wonder how Toyota receives consistently hi reviews .....what drives these reviews, what really motivates the rankings Toyota receives? My Sienna will not be one of those that supposedly is driven 200,000+ miles. Doing so is far too costly in repair bills.

I love this van, I really do, but we have had so many expensive issues that I'm just done with it. Navigation went out last year, so we no longer have radio, cd, or DVD capability. Both power doors went out. Rear view mirror was possessed and would move on its own and eventually stopped working. Tires need replaced every 15,000 miles and are very expensive. Mechanically it's in good condition, but to not have any of the electrical components working is ridiculous! As well as it drives, as comfortable as it is, and as roomy it is, I will never buy Toyota again.

Spark Plugs, Power Door

No one should have to pay 500.00 dollars to change spark plugs EVER. But that is the cost to disassemble the front of van and to remove the whole fuel intake. The power doors are horrible. The dealer tried fixing but it worked about 3 months. Plus during there repair they busted plastic molding piece and put a little piece of some type of rubber substance thinking it would hold. It didn't had to break off on freeway so it didn't kill anyone. The 17" rims on XLE model are impossible to keep in balance tried many different tires. So if you like a van that you need to balance tires to go on freeway this is for you. The only redeeming grace is we don't need to drive on freeway to get to work or grocery store.

Build Quality questionable

Decent vehicle as far as Minivans are concerned. But build quality is in question. Minor rattles (Dealer said it was normal). My sliding door motor crapped out after 6 months. Then when it was replaced I can hear it straining to close now. In 2008 I drove my cousin's Odyssey for a month and was very very impressed with it. It looked better inside, seemed to have functionality that suited my needs and definitely handled better. My husband actually enjoyed driving a van (he didn't like driving the Sienna) I'll be switching over to the Odyssey if I ever buy a Van again. I won't be buying any more Toyota due to the accelerator issue fiasco. I'm afraid the same issue will hit Siennas.
