Used 2015 Toyota Sienna Consumer Reviews
Nice replacement for our 2010 Honda Ody EX-L
I came off of troubles with our 2010 Odyssey that made me consider it unreliable with only 25,000 miles logged. The variable cylinder management system was a trouble maker. We had excessive oil consumption and fouling of spark plugs. That is the end of buying Honda products for this family, especially any equipped with their VCM six cylinder engine. The primary reason for our buying the XLE version is that we wanted leather and needed the Auto Access Seat for our handicapped daughter. The alternative was to buy the SE version and spend about $9500 more to have a retrofit done. With the factory-installed Auto Access Seat, the upholstery matches and the seat system is well-integrated with the vehicle, plus, of course, with the factory installation, one gets the 36 month warranty. We included the navigation package that works very well. The backup camera and other electronic gadgets assist greatly with backing and lane changes, albeit, visibility outward is great. This vehicle is much quieter than the 2010 Honda Ody, has much, much better brakes and has a very smooth engine and transmission combination. The Ody often shifted a bit roughly, despite a recall for reprogramming the transmission. The seats in the Sienna are also significantly more comfortable. The engine is considerably more powerful and responsive than that in the 2010 Odyssey, however, the suspension in the Sienna is not as compliant. The electric steering in the Sienna does not have the great feedback afforded by the Odyssey. This vehicle is used for a lot of short trips, most under 25 miles. In spite of that, our overall fuel mileage is just about exactly 20 mpg. The only issue we have had so far is rattling of the driver side window. I have taken it to the dealer for correction, so far we do not have a fully satisfactory repair. The dealer claims that they all do that. I went through one recall, that being campaign GO4 involving the electric door system. That was addressed in September 2017, it taking about four hours of dealer time to do the needed electrical work. Overall, this is a great vehicle that we expect to own much longer than our 2010 Honda Ody.

2015 Sienna SE drifting issue
. Overall I love the minivan except for one issue 1. My van is brand new 2015 but it has drifting issue. Tired over a long trip because you constantly have to keep your hand on the steering wheel. As soon as you let it goes, the van either drifting to the left and right. I have the Dealer do the front end alignment and tire rotation but it is not helping. At first I thought is the tire pressure but I did make sure the pressure level the same for all tires and to the recommended PSI (36). I wonder if anyone out there has the same problem and got it fixed. I am not sure if the tires are the issue or not either. 2. I called Toyota directly and they state there is no report on the drifting issue but I found a few comment on the web regarding drifting issue on the SE model even when the Van is brand new. Anyone out there got the same issue and figured out what the problem is please let me know. Thank

Great van!
We needed a rental vehicle and ended up with a 2015 Sienna because it was the least expensive. We didn't need a mini van at all. We were actually extremely surprised at how quiet it was. There was no road noise, even through all of the course highways in California. Usually it's so loud with every vehicle we've rented due to the course highways but this van was impressively quiet. I'm very picky with road noise, I'd say this was Lexus quiet. The ride wasn't firm or too soft, it was perfect actually. Very, very impressed. Even the little holding area where you can put a grocery bag under the radio area is perfect, and the area where you can put your drink holder which has some rubber so your stuff doesn't slide around. Overall Toyota did a great job. If I am ever in the need of a van, I'd definitely go for the Toyota!

Fabulous collision safety
2 weeks after purchasing the car we were T-boned by a driver go full speed thru a stop sign without attempting to stop. The 40 mph impact smashed both passenger side doors but protected all the occupants from injury. The side impact beams were a Godsend. Although we compared the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna, we gave the edge to the Sienna because of the styling. Everything was too close to call.

Not the same quality from previous Toyota's
Somewhere around 18,000 miles both struts needed to be replaced.....of course after the 3 year warranty was up. Gas mileage not so great - less than 18 MPG combined city/highway. Noisy rattles the dealership never could resolve. Interior material quality poor, front passenger seat developed a crack in the plastic base.
