2011 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
We traded our 2000 Sienna XLE for the 2011 4cyl. LE trim model. It has all the bells and whistles we need. It's true-the interior quality is inferior to the first gen. Sienna, but I have to say: we have lived hard in this van and it just continues to take our punishment after 6 years. The plastics might appear cheap, but they have taken everything we have thrown at them. Maintenance … costs have been minimal through six years (a battery change; brake pads, tires). This could be due to my regular maintenance habits. When we purchased the vehicle, our plan was to keep it at least 10 years as we keep vehicles far a long time ('95 F150, '02 Avalon, '07 Xterra). We believe it will make it based on its reliability so far and the fact that our kids are either grown or nearly grown. We would recommend a Sienna to anyone in the market for a minivan. They are priced in the market "sweet spot" as minivans go and they are perfect for families with 2-4 children. We have plenty of nit-picky gripes we could share, but overall, we couldn't be more pleased with the daily reliability of our Sienna. And one more point: research the reliability history of Toyota 4 cylinder engines. They are one of the most bullet-proof machines ever manufactured. This was the argument my wife used to win the battle for "her" minivan v. "my" sport ute. Oh well...

2011 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
I am not mechanical at all .So this review is driver experience only .After driving 37,000kms and a year in ,the 2011 Sienna
is uncomfortable in the drivers seat .Cheap seats.
The design of the tracks that the middle row runs on, is horrible and the seats are so heavy to remove .I am
6ft and 190 lbs 40 yrs old and find it hard to remove the middle row .When you remove the middle row and … fold the rear seats
becareful not to damage the rails when you put your
cargo in . The exterior paint is soft and the windshield
is rough when the wipers pass over it on a showery day .Looks good on the outside .Lots of cargo area . The eight passenger will not be happy.Drives nicely and pick up is good
