Buy an Odyssey, Instead

2024 Toyota Sienna XLE 7-Passenger 4dr Minivan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I bought a 2024 Sienna XLE last November, and disliked it so much that I sold it 5 months later with only 2,000 miles on the odometer. I am very happy with the 2024 Odyssey that I have bought, instead. Despite the fact that the Sienna is a car that holds its value well, it was still a several thousand dollar mistake, a mistake that I hope I can help others avoid. Prior to buying, I wish I had taken more to heart the excellent review by JBF entitled "Worst of the big three minivans," a review with which I wholeheartedly agree. As a former owner of a 2012 and 2014 Odyssey, and 80K miles on a 2018 Pacifica PHEV, I have had considerable experience with the others of the "big three." I do not have experience with the Carnival and can't comment on that one, but have had good experience owning a different Kia. But basically, what happened was that I talked myself into buying a Sienna because of the drivetrain. We wanted good MPG, so the hybrid appealed. But because of the dynamics of our "fleet" of three cars, for this one, it was advantageous to get AWD when it came time to replace our 2018 Pacifica PHEV. The AWD Pacifica was not on the list because of the relatively poor fuel economy, an mores because of the absolutely awful reliability of our previous car. There was never a time that there was not an outstanding recall or two, and on the very frequent visits necessitated by poor reliability and a plethora of recalls, we found that the level of the different dealerships we worked with was lower than what we remembered working with Honda dealerships in the past. Oh, and our engine failed at 40K miles (of course in the midst of a road trip hundreds of miles from home) due to a manufacturing defect. While good that the ENTIRE engine was replaced under warranty, due to supply-chain issues and availability, we were without our car for 5 months!!! But even despite these issues, and the overall incredibly bad ownership experience we had, due to the well-tuned suspension and satisfying driving experience, quality of materials, and overall utility, I would still recommend a Pacifica over a Sienna. Yes, I test-drove the Sienna, and only have myself to blame; I was really talking myself into it because of the good MPG and AWD, so much so that I overlooked several things and went ahead anyway. So here is more about my experience with the Sienna and why I wouldn't recommend it. As soon as you hit 70 miles per hour, the wind noise is so strong that it feels like you're in the middle of a hurricane. The buzz-saw nature of the combination of the overtaxed engine and CVT has been well-documented elsewhere, but it was way worse than I could even have imagined. I can't believe how annoying the vwhoo, vwhoo, vwhoo surging sound gets after a while. In order to achieve the "magic slide" large travel back and forth movement of the seats (who really cares about that, anyway?), not only are the seats not removable, but the backs don't fold forward flat, either, so there's no sliding the kayak onto the tops of the seats, making room for the top of the Christmas tree, etc., with the best cargo space achievable being having the second row up against the first row seats in the "access third row" mode of being pulled forward. This is a minivan, after all, emphasis on the "van" syllable, yet this car doesn't allow you to put the thing in "van" mode at all. More than that, the whole thing has a tinny and cheap feel, inside and out. And while this will not be an issue for most people, it is for me; unlike the other two minivans, the bluetooth cannot be turned off/disabled and is constantly searching for devices to pair with. In summary, this is the worst car I have ever owned in terms of "overall feel." I feel the only reason to buy anything other than the Honda Odyssey would be if you absolutely, positively, needed AWD, and even then I would suck up the horrendous reliability and unappealing gas mileage and buy a Pacifica, instead. The Odyssey's drive feel and suspension tuning is almost at the level of the Pacifica, but it promises reliability much closer to or on par with that of a Toyota. The 10-speed automatic (non-CVT!) transmission not only provides a more assertive and better drivetrain experience than the buzz-saw Sienna, but also makes up in large part for the fact that it's not a hybrid. We are seeing an indicated 29.5 MPG over our first 1000 miles on the Odyssey, versus the indicated 34 MPG we had with the Sienna, so not that big of a difference, and certainly not enough to justify going with the more expensive (trim for trim) and mechanically more complicated Sienna. The quality of the interior materials is way higher in the Odyssey than the "plastic-fantastic" Sienna, and the cargo area is larger and more accessible due to the configurability and removability of the second row seats. And I haven't mentioned styling anywhere else; we were fortunate to have our Sienna in the sparkly and metallic blue color, the only color in my opinion that makes the car look even passable. I realize that appearance is subjective, and others may have different reactions, but wow, is the Sienna a hideously ugly car. Oh, and one more thing, the Odyssey has a spare tire under an access panel on the floor right behind the first row. I do not know whether certain SKUs of the Pacifica and Sienna have spare tires, but ours did not, so the Odyssey having one (even with it being a doughnut spare) is certainly a welcome aspect in this day and age of run-flats, and "tire repair kits," neither of which even come close to addressing flats in most situations other than getting a puncture from a sewing needle.... But I digress. In the end, for me it comes down to feel, and often you can tell a lot by what I call "voting with your feet." Initially I was so pleased to be getting the Sienna because it "solved" several issues with our fleet approach involving things we needed to make up for because of our other two cars. But after 5 months of ownership, we had less than 2,000 miles on the odometer. I was using any other car I could (my wife wasn't so happy about my taking her SUV when I needed utility instead of the minivan) to get the job done. Meanwhile, we took delivery of our Odyssey 3 weeks ago, and I have put 1,000 miles on the odometer. There have been several times that I have "just decided to take the minivan," I guess it's because it puts a smile on my face. I guess it's because I just like it. You will, too!

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!

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

Recently our family purchased an Le model with the lowest price on the market. Our family had total 7 members included Boo! It was so convenient for us on our recent trip to Santa Barbara! It has enough room for all of us and sones. In and out at every single stop was so quick and easy. The best of all we didn’t have to stop for gas! The exterior of the 2024 Toyota Sienna Le looks so modern and the interior was so spacious and for me the driver I have a very good view all around from the front. Travel with a large group it’s is the best with a mini van and it’s the transportation that nobody cares!

2024 Toyota Sienna Limited 7-Passenger 4dr Minivan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

This car is fantastic for family life. It drives well, is quick enough (0-60 comparable to V6 vans from a decade ago and it easily gets out of its way) and is really quiet around town in the Limited trim. In the 95% of time you aren't accelerating, it is just as smooth and quiet as my Acura or Audi. The engine noise can be a little unrefined under heavy acceleration but when cruising it's smooth and relaxing to drive. I routinely break 40mpg and have a lifetime average of around 38.5 with zero change in how I drive and generally with a full load of kids and lots of highway miles. I'm so glad I didn't get an Odyssey, which is what I was planning to do before test driving, because the Honda's 19 city is so poor compared to the 36 in the Toyota (though I almost always beat 40 in the city and sometimes can hit 50!). The front seat area is thoughtfully designed with easy controls and great storage areas and the visibility is excellent. Sliding doors are a game changer and the kick to open feature is great. The cargo space is good and I really like the second row long slide seats. The kids have tons of space and adults can fit in all three rows. There are some things that could be better but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is great. For instance I'd love a sharper screen and backup camera but that is a tiny problem compared to the giant plus of this car which is amazing fuel economy combined with van practicality. Stereo is okay. Not at the level of a luxury car but not terrible. I might upgrade the speakers. I did put in a $50 wireless CarPlay adaptor that works great and adds that feature. Do wish it had standard spare tire and it would be nice to have an 8 seat option on the Limited. While many have had to wait, I got lucky and was able to get one brand new off the lot for under MSRP which made it price competitive for me with the Honda which would cost $1000 more to fuel a year and came with a lot less free maintenance. Overall hugely recommended and I can't imagine why families choose SUVS over this.
