FIVE YEAR UPDATE: Things are going well with our Sienna. There's just shy of 60,000 miles on the odometer. There was a recall on the rear door motors that was fixed during a short morning at the dealership. Other than that, it's still working fine with nothing but oil, filters, and wiper blades. This has been a GREAT purchase. FOUR YEAR UPDATE: No problems to report with our Sienna after ~ 40,000 miles. Oil, air filters, washer fluid, tires, and wiper blades are all that it has demanded. The interior is holding up well. The engine starts and runs strong. The large space between the captain's chairs in the 2nd row is wonderful - it keeps little hands away from siblings! THREE YEAR UPDATE: Still love our Sienna. No problems and the only trips to the dealership are for oil changes and tire rotation. If it was stolen tomorrow, I'd buy another Sienna without a second thought. #toyotafamily TWO YEAR UPDATE: We initially leased our Sienna because it was our first minivan and we were unsure if we'd like. After two years, we loved it so much we bought out the lease. While at the dealership, they offered us $4,000 more than the buyout because the fair market value of the vehicle was so high. We decline their offer and kept our Sienna. After two years, we had zero problems with the van. The kids like that they can easily get in and out of the van by themselves, and close the doors. We've driven it cross-country and it excels in that role. There's plenty of space for luggage, tons of cupholders, good highway fuel economy (26 mpg), and a comfortable ride. My biggest complaint is the small screen for the backup camera. That's not really the van's fault, as a larger screen was available when new and I declined that option. My wife's favorite feature is the storage spot for her purse. It rides comfortably below the center stack. The front or rear seat passengers don't have to hold it and it's out of the way but easily within reach. ---------------------------- Our Sienna is the vehicle we should have gotten years ago instead of an SUV. It is incredibly practical despite its geeky image. The interior is often a sore spot in Sienna reviews, but many confuse a minivan with a Lexus sedan. The hard plastics in the Sienna are designed for contact with snot-nosed kids with their greasy popcorn hands. The interior of the Sienna is much easier to clean and will hold up better to hard use compared to something with soft-touch plastics. The Sienna does not have the reliability problems that the Odyssey has. Honda V6 powertrains have a history of eating transmissions and, lately, engines. Too bad, because the rest of the Odyssey is very nice.

2014 Sienna XLE w/o Nav/Entune

I purposely looked for a "base" XLE without Navigation/Entune or rear entertainment (DVD) to get the more comfortable leather seats (front only, rear softex) and minimize options which would be expensive to repair after warranty. This is my second Sienna, with a 2011 Odyssey purchased in between. I've read comments about the Odyssey being a better van, BUT my 2011 Touring ended up having transmission and engine issues, and it was an expensive vehicle. The Sienna has a great engine/trans combo, and the interior is very comfortable and spacious.

I just purchased a 2014 pre owned Toyota Sienna. I have only owned the Van for a month. So far I love how it drives and the space it gives our family. I have 3 kids under the age of 9. I love the blue tooth and how I can play music from my iPhone. Its been such a luxury after driving a 2005 Toyota Corolla for 13 years. I would have liked to buy newer and have all the updated luxuries. However, my budget would not allot for this. Hopefully the next time around. But I bought my kids portable DVD players for entertainment that work just as good. I live in a mountainous area. We get all kinds of weather, but winters can get bad with snow and ice. So I love that the Toyota Sienna is offered in AWD. It also offers leather seats. Something I did not have in my last car. So much easier to clean and take care of with kids. I definitely think that if you are looking for a van the Sienna is something I would check out. The only issues I see that other vans have is storage space under the seats. The Sienna offers recliner captains seats. Although this seems coolant first. I have mixed feelings about them. I feel that for kids they are great. But do not fit well if you are an adult with long legs. I would of rather of seen Toyota use that space for storage space under the seats instead. I also wish Toyota offered more USB ports through out the middle and back rows. Since that is where my kids use all there electronic devices on road trips and outings. This could be offered in newer models. But its something I think would be wonderful if it is not. Overall I love our mini van and have and will remain a loyal Toyota customer and owner.

Great Ride, loads of room, and no spare tire

I am pleased with this car, 15k miles in except for the run flat tires and lack of a spare. the AWD versions of these vans have this serious design flaw, and the run flat tires are twice the price of standard tires, and wear twice as fast. So the buyer can figure on a factor of Four times the expense for keeping rubber on this car. As a lessor, I am disappointed that I will have to buy tires at least once for this car, and the run flats are absolutely awful for AWD traction and performance once they get to 4/32.

First minivan and I love it. I'm more focused on practicality in our family and after noticing that my 4 year old nephew had issues climbing into our Traverse, I knew it was time to think seriously about a minivan. We owned a 2010 Venza which we traded in after 75,000 miles and other a slight manufacturing defect with the 4-cylinder engine which was repaired under warranty, I took care of that car and it hummed along at 75,000 miles like that day we drove it off the lot. Needless to say I was sold on Toyota and noticed the difference in long-term build quality between it and our Traverse.

Sixth Toyota; still love them

I love this minivan! A couple things about Toyotas that buyers should know: 1) Toyota is practicality and *quality* first, which means that there are sometimes design issues (especially with the interior) that may annoy, but they do not compromise the integrity of the vehicle, and the car will still last longer than any American-made vehicle; 2) Siennas are made to be torn up by little kids, so don't expect Lexus-like appointments (my husband's '12 Avalon is far, far, faaaar superior to my XLE Premium minivan). So, don't be silly--understand what you're buying, and you will be be pleased for many years to come! Update: I had this Sienna until last month February 2017). My 36-month lease was close enough to being over that we were able to swap our '14 Sienna for a '17 Highlander Limited; we just didn't need all the van space, anymore. However, I wouldn't have hesitated to re-lease another Sienna, if necessary. I loved my Sienna, and I had zero issues with it the entire 39k miles I drove it. The ONLY thing that annoyed me was this little squeaking noise that came from the third-row seat when it was cold outside. We never could figure that out. But that really wasn't a big deal, and we hardly noticed it. Overall, the Sienna was an excellent vehicle, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a minivan. (Also, leasing from Toyota has been an absolute breeze. I know most folk steer clear of lease deals mostly because of horror stories from other people. But, we haven't had any trouble leasing from Toyota. In fact, we were 3k miles over our limit and technically had two months left on our lease. We traded in the Sienna for the Highlander with $0 out of pocket--including no penalties for being over on our miles. In fact, we had about $1k in equity with the Sienna. Just a note I wanted to leave, in case anyone is considering a lease.)

Toyota has finally addressed the issue with the sliding doors not latching correctly and I am now very happy with the Sienna and would buy another one. This van is extremely reliable (47K) miles and handles very well, especially so in the snow.

Toyota is not what it used to

6 of 8 people found this review helpful

I sold my 2004 sienna with 120k miles on it to get a newer Sienna as my kids are older now, what a mistake. This newer car had only 38k miles on it and for the past year i put around 5000 miles on it plus a lot of money to fix various things. Except my first car that was a 1980 Plymouth Horizon, I have been driving Toyotas for past 30 years. I can say with certainly that newer Toyotas are not as good as they used to be. I still have my 92 Lexus LS400 and 90 Toyota Celica GTS. I made a mistake to sell on older Camrys 86 and 96. I had a 3008 Camry that was one of the worst cars I ever had. I am not sure when these issues started but I would guess building these cars outside of Japanese factories has something to do with it. I am having hard time with fixing stupid things (ac compressor is gone, $2000 repair) in a car like this Sienna when it has very little milage on it. No the car was not abused and was a first owner when I bought. Maybe it is pure luck but Toyota is not what it used to be!

A little disappointed

Replaced a 2009 Oddy. Based on great 1999 Camry experience, expected the Sienna to be better. So far, not so good. The main problem is the speedometer is wrong. It overstates speed 3-5 MPH. Our dealer in Tyson Corner, VA says it's normal and Toyota seems to agree. Granted, better than understating speed, but not what I expect of Toyota. Another surprise I didn't notice pre-purchase is that the 2nd row seats don't completely remove from the car. There is a substantial harness that remains above the floor. Wouldn't be able to carry drywall for example without damaging it. Never occurred to me to check after flat floors in past 3 minivans - Honda and Dodges. Buyer beware. Update 7/2016: still underwhelmed by the Sienna. We've managed to get used to compensating for the speedometer issue. We haven't had to haul a lot of cargo without the seats installed so the 'bump' hasn't caused a problem very often. I would add to the disappointments the sound system, especially with satellite audio as a source - it just doesn't sound very good at all. Keeping the car connected to my wife's iPhones (two different models so far) has been finicky at times. Toyota's choice to limit use of features like navigation while the car is in motion is frustrating. It had been helpful in previous cars for the front passenger to enter an address or look for a nearby restaurant, etc. while we were driving down a highway - that's not possible with the Sienna. So we find ourselves ignoring the car's systems in favor of using our smartphones - I suppose that's where everything is headed anyway. Other issues include significant road noise and a feeling of the engine being under powered at times. Ok, so enough complaining - what do I like? It has been reliable so far requiring only regularly scheduled maintenance, but that's what I expect. Overall, I imagine we'll be looking at a different brand next time. Update 1/2017: We're waiting on the fix to the power sliding door issue. For now, it's annoying to have to switch it to manual mode just to be safe. Still, reliability hasn't been bad. The major expense in the past 6 months has been replacing the tires. Our Toyota maintenance plan included with the original purchase has now expired so we'll need to pay out of pocket going forward. I'm still overall not real impressed with the Sienna. A particular annoying thing is the XM radio which we had to pay the dealer to install at the time of purchase. For whatever reason, that receiver is incapable of receiving a number of XM stations. E.g., "Holiday Traditions" which we always enjoyed in our former vans was on a channel this year that our receiver could not tune. Considering the XM radio was a $500 add on, this is very disappointing. The glitches with connecting the car to our iPhones has continued so that's not a great alternative. If I were to buy today, I would most likely go with the Pacifica. Update 7/2017: Power sliding door recall fix has just been made available, I am told. We've now had the power doors (including lift gate) disabled for about 25% of the time we've owned the vehicle which is disappointing.

Perhaps the worst Toyota among 7 that I owned in the past 14 years. Had a pleasure to own two 4Runners, 2 GX470 and 1 GX460, 1 Highlander. This Sienna is wrong in almost every department but biggest is by far rattle and squeaks from cheapest plastic panels that 2014 Sienna has. Impossible to to mitigate those issues. 3rd row seats rattle loudly even after anti-rattle kit was installed. Inside the van it is obnoxiously loud, all road noise comes in at highway speeds that you need to crank radio just to hear it. Certainly, not good for long trips, we bought it to take on the cross-country trips but what a mistake it was. Run-flat tires are useless at about 17K miles. Poor gas mileage, my GX470 with 8 cylinder and square non-aerodynamic body had better mpg than this AWD Sienna.

Decent minivan. After owning a Honda this was our first Toyota minvan. Most of the features we have been happy with. The BIG disappointment is the run-flat tires. I'm not sure why Toyota has stuck with them so long. The cost 2.5X times normal tires and wear out in 25K miles! This is a huge maintenance cost and bring the total value of the car way down. I'll never buy another car with run-flat tires.

The Sienna 2014 XLE was a great car. I hit two deer in a 75 mph zone. Air bags deployed, and I wasn't injured except for ear problems due to the side airbag hitting me in the ear. I now have a 2017 Sienna SE Premium. Technology is much advanced since 2014. The BlueTooth interface is greatly improved (much easier to use with a shorter introduction: "How may I help you" as compared to the long explanation before), though during phone calls people can tell I am in the car. With my 2010 Kia Sorento BlueTooth people usually couldn't tell I was driving. The Kia had the microphone on the driver's side windshield pillar; Toyota has kept the microphone in the center above the rear view mirror. iPod interface is also greatly improved. Navigation screen is bigger and better. There is now an information screen in between the speedometer and tachometer. You can customize the screen (mpg, digital speedometer, miles to empty, etc., outside temp is always displayed on the screen). The seats are much more comfortable than those in the 2014. Down hill assist works great: I do a lot of mountain and hill driving. The 2014 had down hill assist, but it didn't work well. Cabin lights are improved: window, door and cupholder lights are brighter and easier to see; they are now blue instead of green. The ride seems quieter, even though the SE comes with 19" rims. The handling is better--tighter, more responsive steering. The engine is now 8 speeds for better gas mileage, but I notice that the pick-up isn't as good. It seems to take longer when I step on the gas getting onto the freeway. The 2017 comes with LED daytime running lights, and the tail lights are LED, so that it looks like they are all white until the diodes light up. The SE does not have automatic third row windows--I miss that: they can only be opened manually. The SE Premium comes with 6 speakers instead of four, which is one reason I went with Premium; however, it also has a rear entertainment system, which I think is a waste. I didn't want it. I would have preferred automatic third row windows or parking assist or adaptive (radar) cruise control, or a subwoofer, or another moon roof, or cooled seats to a drop-down screen that sometimes rattles and will probably never be used. All that wiring for nothing (Blu-ray player to screen, input jacks in the rear (s video?!), headphone jacks, wired into sound system)! There is also a Blu-ray player which takes the place of a storage shelf that I used to use. I almost backed out of the sale because I didn't want the entertainment system. Why oh why, Toyota, did you have to put the entertainment system in? People have iPads and gaming devices with better screens, but I can't buy a stand alone cooled seat, or automatic third row windows, or any of the other useful items I mentioned previously that would have taken much less wiring. What were you thinking?

Unlike my older Sienna, the CV Axle broke at 100,000 mile. I drove my older Sienna 224,000 and never had a problem with the CV Axle. I later found out that this failure is common in that range of Sienna year model. At least I have not seen any motor oil leak yet.. Not sure if I'm going to continue to be a Sienna/Toyota loyalist.

This is our 4th minivan and we believe that many of the features have been steadily improving. However, there have been a few things that have not. The front seats are far less comfortable than a few years ago in the Sienna. The 2014 came with no GPS and a teeny backup camera screen - I added an aftermarket unit and it made all of the difference. The 2015 started to make the larger screen standard. Lastly, road and wind noise has been an issue - passenger side wind noise is fairly obnoxious. Overall the van is great and we hope the 2016+ models are improved.

2014 Toyota Sienna Limited 7-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

I ordered my Limited with every option and accessory on it. It took over 4 months for it to arrive because of Toyota's way of "building a vehicle" Road noise is unbearable. A 10-year old Caravan or Voyager had less road noise. A weak suspension or something contributed to almost bottom out if any load was put behind the third row. I'm barely getting 23 mpg under any condition. A friend's Honda Odyssey was giving over 28 mpg in the same situation. When you are paying almost $50,000 for a vehicle, you shouldn't have road noise issues or lack of features. A 4-way power front passenger seat??? Really? Remote start that turns the car off when you unlock or open the door? I'm looking for another minivan or an SUV. It'll be a Chrysler Pacifica or an Explorer. Toyota always mentions their reliability in commercials and other advertising but other automakers are also very reliable along with offering great features like massaging seats or blu-ray rear entertainment among other things AND offering better interior quality materials for LESS money. **Update #2** Bought a Chrysler Pacifica Limited. Loving every minute of it. I opted for the Hybrid one due to most of our travel has been local lately. Road noise is at a minimum, features are insane. Build quality, fit, and finish is top notch. The plastics and leather is much better quality and I was able to take advantage of the incentives and a 2020 Pacifica was cheaper than a 2020 Sienna.

Worst Mistake Ever

Buying this is the worst mistake ever.....so many problems, where do I start. My 2014 has 25k miles. When going downhill with slight braking the whole van shakes. The drivers door power window motor needed to be replaced due to a buzzing sound when being rolled up. (It took 2 dealer trips before I could get the dealer to put in a new motor, now it's fixed). The stereo controls on the steering wheel for the volume and channels work intermittently. Sometimes I can push them greater than 20 times in a row before they start working. The dealer refuses to do anything for this because they can't re-create the problem while it's there. The stereo (with Navigation) itself has the weakest reception I've ever seen in a car yet the dealer tells me they know of the problem but there is no fix for it. It's usually mostly static and you lose all reception when driving on the fwy and drive under an over crossing. The paint on the bumpers is really bad. Every time I get a yellow pollen spot on on the front bumper it STAINS it! Even cleaner wax doesn't take it off. The paint on the top of the rear bumper was just slightly rubbed when taking something out of the back of the van and it took the paint off down to the black! The climate controls AC/Fan blow out a weird smell every now and then and when running just the fan with no AC, there is a weird humidity that comes out of it. The car battery died (bad cells according to the dealer) at just one year old. The grey on the "leather" steering wheel is flaking off and starting to show black underneath (remember just 25k miles). I'm sure there is more but that's just off of the top of my head.

I just returned from the Toyota dealer. I had made an appointment to repair the rear brakes that freeze every time the van is washed in winter. I was told by the service advisor not to wash the van when the temperature is below 32 degrees. I have owned several other mini vans & cars & have never heard of anyone being told not to wash your vehicle. We will never buy another Sienna again. It is a 2014 XLE and was purchased new.

Cheap plastics, fabrics (floors), finishes in cabin makes its interior look cheap even though I've got XLE+Navi option. Comparing to previous Sienna model with same trim option, it has less leather surface than older models to save its cost. You will find other cost saving effort from Toyata, unless you are paying $40.000+ for limited edition. Check its keyless remote, interior finishes, XLE's leather finishes/quality, they are lower than average car. Especially you are also considering Oddysey Ex-L+Nav I agree on smooth ride and handling, but overall, I regret. If I buy again, I will go for Kia Sedona or Honda Pilot. UPDATE: It's been great family car for trips. Engine and transmission are healthy like a new one. MPG has been average 17mpg so far at 68000 miles. there is one issue raised after 44,000 miles. Vibration started at brake and worst from 50mph to 35 mph. I tried everything I could. I changed 50% remained brake pad with new at first, wheel alignment, and replace rotor at last, but mechanic couldn't fix the issue.

Have loved this van, great get up and go, lots of space, and plows through snow without a problem.

Oct, 2021, 7 yr update. Not much driving last year. About 50,000 miles. Decided to change oil around 7000 miles now. Ride is still good. About 20-22 mpg. Sliding door recall fixed. .. Radio Entune still the worst part of the van. Leather seats still good. Clean/protect every 2 yrs. No repairs needed, it's a.Toyota. Cabin filters are easy to change. . My original 5 yr review. XLE no extra packages. Bought labor day weekend, 2014 as the 2015 updates were basically the radio and minor cosmetics. Figured the engine and tyranny weren't updated so I rather save about $1800 due to clearance and cash back + 0% cash back was $750 and loan or $2000 with no loan. So the entune is terrible and used it once, maybe. 36,000 needed new tires. Oil changes between 9000 and recommended 10000 with toyota filters on Amazon. Same as my 2016 camry and 5 filter are $20-$22. Less than $5 each. Battery died @ 34 months, so covered under warranty. So, battery, tires, and airbag recall were needed aside from oil changes. I do my own work after the 24 month included. You really need to keep the 6 month visits to get your two oil changes. Even with low miles, just go. About the ride...well other peeps covered that. Drives easy, it floats, not a sports car or sedan but handles as expected from a van. Lots of space. To remove Second row seats, have two people or you'll need a chiropractor after a few bad lifts. Aftermarket custom mats didn't work too well in the back two rows due to the moving middle seat rails. Take off the crossbars to reduce drag. Average 21 - 22 mpg suburban highway mixed. Ok in light snow until about 20000 miles, then tires were wearing down. Goes fast. Going 80 mph and don't know it. Go 88 and the cops tell you. Had a 99 sienna until 2015 with 210000. It was burning a quart of oil every 1500 miles the last few months. Hence new 2014.

Sienna a bad deal

The VSC light comes on causing the cruise control to stop working. Dealer says $2,000 fix. Headlights went bad. $100 each except one will cost $1,300. According to dealer there's a computer for each headlight. Poor engineering. I had a 2001 sienna and loved it. This '04 is junk. Don't buy these cars.

I have owned three Toyota Siennas. In June, 2015, I purchased a two year Prepaid Maintenance Program Extension on my 2013 Sienna for $299. We do not drive a lot, and so when this car was destroyed by a careless driver, and we purchased a 2015 Sienna, I took the paperwork down to Stevinson Toyota on Havana in Aurora, Co. to get the maintenance contract transferred. I was SHOCKED when they said all they could transfer was $169.94. None of the contract had been used. THAT IS TANTAMOUNT TO THEFT OF $130 OF OUR MONEY.
