Used 2011 Toyota Sienna Consumer Reviews
From MBZ e-class to Minivan! Love' it!
The van is great! Great utility, storage, comfort! The back up cam is very helpful! Been on 3 family road trips and avg. 20 mpg. Pretty good for such a big hauler! Great for kids! Love the sliding doors with shades and optional 8th pass seat if needed. Drove the Odyssey and felt there was too much road noise.
Take it or Leave it.
Have had the vehicle 5 weeks and logged almost 1,000 miles. Very quiet cabin and tons of get-up-and-go. Fuel economy so far is about 17 mpg, after about 95% in city driving. Seating flexibility is great in general. Hard plastics feel a little cheap (especially for $32,000) but overall fit-and-finish very good. Generally very pleased with our first-ever Toyota. A few surprising features missing or poorly executed however: A mast antenna? Really? Go with a roof- top shark fin, even base Hyundai's have them. Turn signals should incorporate a "3-blink lane change" feature. 8-way power driver seat but no power for the front passenger? Move the headlight switch to the dash please & add auto on/off.

Nice van
We've owned this vehicle for about a month and have put 1,600 miles on the car. Although it's still weird for us to acknowledge that we're mini-van owners, we have come to love the van (and so have our kids) in the short time that we've had it. The car is a delight to drive. Its steering is a little light, but otherwise has excellent handling and gets decent highway mileage for a big vehicle (averaging 24-26 mpg doing about 70-75 mph). Perhaps most importantly, our young boys love their separate captain's chairs, rear entertainment system, and ease of getting in and out of the car. Will update the review in several months, but right now can't say enough about this van!
Great Revamp of an Excellent Mvan
This is our 3rd Sienna. Got the Ltd. w/ front wheel drive. Toyota has made some real improvements. Driving experience is improved in all aspects, quieter, quicker and better brake feel. The Ltd. interior is first rate (don't quite get the weird vinyl texture they adopted on the interior panels). We've had the Odyssey, and Town and Country. Toyota's is the most relaxed to drive and can carry a ton of stuff. New styling is a little less bland on the outside. New seats and electronics are amazing.
Great Van
So far I only put 350 miles so can't comment on long term durability. But I drove '06 Odyssey Touring a few times so I'll use Odyssey as benchmark. I like the Sienna ride better (I came from BMW 5 series with sport package. To me, the Sienna is ideal for a family hauler), quieter than Odyssey, ride is not as firm/bouncy, handling is about the same. The transmission shifts smooth. Interior looks modern but lack the quality I expected. I feel the Odyssey interior trim/buttons are well made, Sienna feels cheap, especially compare to BMW and Acura (maybe not a fair comparison but the van cost 30k+). Mileage is good, I got 28 mpg (from MID) for almost all highway driving.
