Used 2011 Toyota Sienna Consumer Reviews
Uncomfortable seat
I start lease this van from May. Exterior design is best compared with others. But seat quality is no good even compared with previous model yr2007 & 2005 which we had. Only 1 hour drive, my wife complained this seat is terrible and I agreed. I'm not talking about material and design. I felt like sit on sponge. Toyota should learn more from German's car seat.
Definitely improved and worth it.
We looked at minivans for years before finally buying this. It was not so much the soccer-mom stigma but also the price as you get into the more loaded models. We did not want a stripped down model since this was also for the long trips and outings. The Honda was ok but uncomfortable, lacked the refinement and was too rough-riding for the family. This new Sienna is not spongy but not harsh either. The interior is astonishing and the bells and whistles make a 10 min show-off session to neighbors and relatives. The kids love it and just want to hang out in it all day and my wife proudly calls it the Swagger Wagon. LTD is expensive but compares very well to what 40k buys these days.

Great vehicle; great dealership
I love this Sienna; I test drove a KIA Sedona then the Sienna and I am glad that I bought the Sienna. McGeorge Toyota is an awesome dealership.
Refreshing
After two windstars which I was happy with I decided to buy this Toyota after driving all the others first. This is better then the 2010 Honda but nothing wrong with any of them. The difference from the windstar is night and day. Hwy mileage so far is as advertised 24 mpg. At 75 miles per hour. The only thing I don't care for so far is the back up camera/screen, its way too small. Other than that I simply love this van and so does my wife who is a Honda fan.
The best of what's available today
We have 5 kids and this is our 3rd minivan. This is not the "Perfect" minivan in the world, but it is gosh darn close. It seems like the accountants stepped in at the last minute and prevented Toyota's engineers from making this a benchmark vehicle. The ride is very compliant and it handles the typical curvy mountain roads just fine without feeling to floaty or tipsy like many other minivans. My biggest complaint is that the steering feel is way too light and provides almost zero feedback in the Limited with AWD trim. I don't expect a BMW driving experience from a minivan, but I expect the steering to have more feel than a 1980's Lincoln Town Car. The acceleration and braking are great.
