Used 2023 Toyota Sienna Minivan Consumer Reviews
Fantastic mileage and very practical but unrefined
Positives: Fuel economy is tremendous at about 37.6 average over 1000 miles. Power is fine. Not fast but is even fine on mountain grades with a full load. Rides well. Quiet at highway speed. Good visibility. Easy to fold third row. Good passenger space. Lots of cargo space (though less than class leaders). Negatives: Engine is really loud and unrefined under moderate and hard acceleration. We also have a Honda Hybrid which is much more refined. Toyota can do much better with refinement. Backup camera is really low resolution. It is hard for kids to use the levers to access the third row. Honda does it better with their push button system. Wish it had wireless CarPlay. To sum it up. This car is practical as can be and gets tremendous gas mileage but you pay for it with a noisy and gritty sounding powertrain that really sounds awful on steep hills (though moves the car just fine0. Hopefully Toyota improves that and the infotainment on the next update. If they do it will be perfect. Especially if they let you get 8 seats in top trims.

Love it!
We had reserved a Limited in January. There was absolutely no date in site as to when we could expect the car. I noticed the dealer had a Platinum coming "in-transit". I called my salesman and he looked it up and it was sold, but did I want it if the sale didn't go through. "YES!" Fortunately, the original buyer backed out and we were able to get it. It is way more car than we needed or wanted, but we love this car. The ride and comfort is incredible. Yes there is engine noise during quick acceleration, but not as big of an issue as I see here. If you are fixated and cargo room, this may not be the car for you. The second row is able to scoot all the way up to the first row that provides more than enough cargo space for our needs. This car is stylish, quiet and very comfortable. We previously owned a RAV4 and did not care for the ride at all. We love the ride of this car. There's plenty of room for adults and the gas mileage is unbeatable. 630 miles on one tank of gas! We're planning a road trip next month of over 5,000 miles and this will greatly reduce our costs. The cabin is quiet and the road noise is next to nothing. Toyota has always been a reliable choice for us. We had a 2004 Sienna that we traded in for the RAV4 that had 225,000 miles on it and still going strong. Find a good and honest Toyota dealer as we have and have your vehicle serviced there as well. We've always been treated well. This is in a major metropolitan city. I do wish Toyota had more of a loyalty program for their customers. It's hard for us to look at other brands as Toyota has been so good and reliable for us. I think the Sienna is by far the most stylish of all the available minivans. The only down side for us is the sun roof that is standard on so many of their models. Who needs these? Especially if you live in a hot climate like I do!

Considering selling it ....
Overall decent but considering selling it and buying a lower mileage non hybrid Sienna. 15k buys a lot of gas. PRO Mileage Seating position allows 'spread' CON Front Seats are hard, uncomfortable and the pleather hot Visibility Handling Lacking features 2nd row seats not removable w/o a hack User Manual about useless, more warnings than substance. My isn't this searchable in the infotainment and not filling the clove box MEH Power is decent but engine is noisy under power Mileage drops considerably in colder weather Infotainment

Minivan has become sexier then ever…
Sleek, stylish and beautiful to drive. Toyota Sienna just keeps getting better and better. A hybrid getting mid 30s on mpg. Perfect for long trips. Love it!
Smiley face 😊
Excellent on several levels of performance from economically great on gas mileage to plenty of space for passengers and luggage.
