So far, so excellent!
I did a lot of research on Sienna's before I bought one. I was hesitant to go from a AWD SUV to an AWD Mini Van. So far, this vehicle is everything I wanted. I analyzed various years and talked to people and businesses that own them. I am cautiously optimistic, as all cars are machines and have issues from time to time. This one has been babied and I have all maintenance records showing it has been meticulously cared for. Just in case, I have a warranty on all the systems that make it run and make it comfortable. I also have coverage on all the electronic features that tend to have problems. Beautiful interior on the XLE premium model. Easy and intuitive operation. Meets my needs perfectly. Hoping to drive it for many years.

AWD Sienna Great for Snow and Road Trips
Update 3/25/2025 - 105,233 miles. Entertainment head unit display went out about eight months ago - this is the radio, bluetooth receiver, phone interface, etc. I was unable to use the radio or the blue tooth for music. My phone still worked through the unit and the backup camera display still worked, but I needed to either have it fixed or replaced. Found out a factory replacement unit was about $900 and the total cost to have the dealer install it came to more than $1100. I decided to buy an after-market unit and install it myself. I got a Pioneer unit from Crutchfield for $350 - which is actually a big upgrade over the original factory unit. It took me about five hours to do the install myself. Crutchfield support is awesome - I had a problem with the backup camera hookup and they sent me an extra connector. Very satisfied. Other than this issue I have no issues with the vehicle at all, which I still rate as five star. Update 3/22/2024 - 102, 650 miles. Nothing new to report. No mechanical issues, the vehicle is doing great. I would like to point out that I consider the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires I bought almost four years ago to be the best tires I've ever had - particularly for someone that drives in the snow a lot. I have put 47,000 miles on them so far. They are good on the highway, good in rain, and in the snow they are far better than any "all season" tires out there. In the snow they are almost as good as a dedicated winter snow tire like a Michelin X-Ice, which I used to use in the winter. The dedicated winter tire has an edge on super icy roads, but overall the Cross Climates are a fantastic option. Update 3/21/2023 - 92,125 miles. Still no real problems. During the 80,000 service the dealer reported a small leak at the water pump and recommended replacement. I had it replaced under the extended warranty to be safe. I was lucky to have the warranty since that is a pretty expensive job on this vehicle, like it is on a lot of transverse-mounted engines. Other than that, there have been no issues. We did a 3,000 mile road trip last summer with zero issues. Overall, I remain very satisfied with this vehicle. Update 3/18/2021 - a COVID year, no long trips, I am up to 69,000 miles. Zero problems. Have been on a couple of ski trips this winter - I did put Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on - awesome tires! They are nearly the equal of dedicated snow tires, yet are great on dry highways and great in the rain. My Sienna with these tires feels incredibly sure-footed. I am still impressed with this vehicle for the utility, comfort, versatility and value it provides. I am looking forward to driving it for 200,000 miles! Update 3/17/2020 - I am up to 61,000 miles. Still no issues. Although - one potential area of weakness seems to be the front brakes. After a lot of hard mountain driving (a lot of steep downhills), I noticed the shimmy under breaking again. I had the rotors turned and everything is fine. I was told I've only got one more turning of the rotors available. I think Toyota should have put heavier duty (larger rotors) front brakes on the Sienna. That's my two cents. I bought this vehicle as my primary ski trip and road trip transportation. After years of using a 4wd pickup (old Tundra), which served me well on ski trips, I wanted more room and comfort. And I wanted a vehicle that got better mpg and was better for long road trips. The Sienna with AWD hits the mark really well. I've seen reviews that say the interior isn't as comfortable as some other minivans, or that the interior is not up to par - but to me it is super comfortable, practical and well built. I am not comparing it to a Mercedes (which I've never owned), but I think a lot of people go overboard with their criticisms. This is a solid, comfortable driving and practical vehicle - especially if you venture out on snowy, icy roads a lot like I do. I recently got back from a week long trip to Utah for skiing - I drove from northern California - with five passengers, six counting me, all our ski and snowboard gear and it was a wonderful ride. I put a large cargo box on top for trips - which is great for carrying all sorts of stuff. With dedicated winter tires, the Sienna performed flawlessly in the snow - even conquering a very steep, snow and ice covered driveway up to lodge where we were staying. I run snow tires in the winter - and with those tires the Sienna is unstoppable in anything but super deep snow where I could bottom out. It IS a minivan, not a performance sport SUV, so it does sway a bit in corners, but that is totally manageable. And it is not an off-road vehicle. The ride is very comfortable and it has plenty of power and will cruise all day at 85 mph. I love this thing! I pull the second row seats and replace them with some home-made wooden boxes - which creates a big mattress platform with storage room underneath, and the Sienna becomes a mini-camper. Awesome. Great highway cruiser. Update: Another 11,000 miles have passed with the Sienna and it continues to impress me. I've had no mechanical issues. There was a safety recall on the electric sliding doors which the dealer handled. I was getting some front end vibrations under heavy braking - had the front pads replaced and rotors turned and all is well. We drove the Sienna on a 2000 mile road trip to Yellowstone and it was super comfortable - we used it as a camper a couple of nights. I remain really satisfied with this vehicle. I think it provides great value for the money. Update 3/17/2020 - I am up to 61,000 miles. Still no issues. Although - one potential area of weakness seems to be the front brakes. After a lot of hard mountain driving (a lot of steep downhills), I noticed the shimmy under breaking again. I had the rotors turned and everything is fine. I was told I've only got one more turning of the rotors available. I think Toyota should have put heavier duty (larger rotors) front brakes on the Sienna. That's my two cents.

2015 Sienna downgrade from 2004 Sienna
This is a very nice people mover with good performance and features. It replaced a 2004 Sienna which was great. Simple changes like reducing the size and capacity of the roof rack and seating changes makes it less useful than the 2004. We expect the same reliability - the 2004 went 225 miles with no problems. The transmission went and cost $4400 but we got to 335K miles and sold for $1400 after the rebuilt transmission also failed. The sliding and folding seat mechanisms are an improvement. The climate controls are unnecessarily complex. Changing to a timing chain should reduce maintenance frequency and cost. Overall, this is a vehicle I would recommend. After about 85,000 miles it is still performing well with no major problems. Update = this vehicle was totaled in a rear end collision at 99K miles. No one was injured when hit at about 20 mph but entire rear end was destroyed due to crumple zones. We are sorry to see it go but replaced it with a 2018 Sienna

Favorite people and bike carrier
It tells you something about reliability: our Sienna has now passed the 10 year mark. It just rolled 46,000 miles and had its very first repair, ever. The coolant pump started to seep. It has never let us down, always reliable, whether for an errand of two miles or sudden run for 2,000. Everything just works. This generation Sienna has the styling of a toaster but is so comfortable and so versatile that who cares. The only downside is fuel economy. It’s great on the road (we have seen 29 mpg), but only 17 in town.
