2016 Toyota Sienna XLE 8-Passenger 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Prior to owning a Toyota sienna I owned a Honda Odyssey for 11 years. There was always one thing that bugged me about my 2005 Odyssey. There was a whistling noise that came through the front defroster vents when driving at high speeds. I learned to live with it. Other than that the car was fantastic. I am now the owner of a 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE 8 passenger. The car has been great. I like the look of the vehicle and it is comfortable and handles well. I did notice one thing on this car that bugs me and I guess I'm going to have to live with it. Every time I go over a bump there is a squeaking noise that comes from the rear drivers side seat. I assume it happens because the 8th seat is not connected although I haven't checked that out yet. 99 percent of the time I will not be using the extra seat. To be honest both the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey are about the same. The reason I went with the Toyota Sienna was the outside appearance of the car and the interior layout. Plus I think the idea of putting a vacuum it the Odyssey was a stupid idea. Waste of space. In the Sienna you can store the extra seat in that space so you don't have to bring it in and out of the car when you want to use it. Update to Review: This weekend I put the 8th seat (jump seat) in the car. Squeaking stopped. I'm not that happy that I'll have to listen to all that squeaking since I usually do not leave the extra seat in place. Anybody else have the same issue? It's been 2 years since owning this vehicle. Still very happy. The squeaking has to do with the rear passenger seat not locking into position very well. I've learned to live with it. I had an issue with the blind spot monitoring but it was fixed by Toyota at no charge during my last oil change. The only thing I've noticed is a rubbing sound from the steering wheel when turning the wheel. Sounds like a low moan. Not that big a deal but I notice it.

Update. We have had our sienna for five months now and still like it a lot. however the mpgs are not as good as i thought. We still have our 04 sienna that we constantly get 25 mpgs. This new one only gets 20 with same driver and conditions. Highway driving not much better. I feel like Toyota has gone backwards in 12 years very disappointing, Hard to see dash when headlights are not on. still a great van just cant understand how these were overlooked. Update. The van is about to be returned in a month and I'm ok with that. MPG's are still less than should be, heater is slow to defrost windshield. We still have our 04 sienna and we just like it better. The 2016 is a nice comfortable van but I still don't understand why the 2004 gets much better fuel mileage and the 2016 doesn't heat up as fast and visibility out of the windshield is so different, it makes the van seem muck larger than it is. waiting for next redesign .

2016 Toyota Sienna Limited 7-Passenger 4dr Minivan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Our buying decision was largely based on the availability of AWD. Toyota is the only mini-van available with AWD. That fact aside, we've been pleased with the vehicle so far. The ride is "comfy firm" but not harsh. The noise level is quite good, even with 55 series tires. The driveability around town is nice, and it drives better than I expected on the twisty roads. Visibility is quite good. The seats are comfortable, but we haven't driven any 12 hour days yet. The interior layout in the front is good and driver ergonomics are convenient and pleasant. Second row seats are as good as the front and the fore/aft adjustment adds to the versatility when hauling a variety of people and cargo. Blind spot monitoring is a new and helpful feature for me. The navigation and bluetooth functions work well, and the voice controls worked without an extensive training procedure. The price seemed high for the level of technology included. There's no type of lane departure or radar assisted braking offered with going to a premium or signature version. Parker Toyota was excellent to deal with.

How many miles on a new Toyota ?

This is my 2nd Toyota Sienna minivan. They are made in Indiana and are 100% American made ! Wonderfully comfortable vehicle to drive, especially for a tall driver. Now let's talk about the cons; The 1st was fine ....except that the brake pedal tended to slowly drop to the floor at times. This was actually seen several times by the service reps. Toyota refused to do a repair because the computer indicated nothing was wrong ! The new 2016 was bought in September, 2017, because of a terrific Toyota inventory clearance sale. It had 2,800 dealer miles which was OK. Within a month, I discovered on the Toyota service history website that it had over 34,000 miles when worked on two months before I bought it. Also, my name was forged always as the owner starting 21 months before I bought it. Toyota will not produce evidence of the actual miles stored in the computer. I still like the Sienna minivan but want it replaced with a true factory new one before NHTSA rules that I'm the victim of dealer odometer tampering. Toyota makes a great vehicle, but I have not had good human backup. In June, 2018, I traded this in for a 2018 Sienna XLE. Toyota, BBB and all government agencies were unwilling to help determine the true mileage of the 2016. The decision to replace it narrowed down to a 2018 Toyota or Honda minivan. Prices were the same but the Toyota had the better "feel". The 2016 disappeared from all Toyota records.
