Not too happy

I have a 2012 model. I now have 75,500 miles on it but I've had to replace tires every 20,000 miles. The tire shop (Costco) won't give me a prorated price because it has claimed the wear & tear is not because of the tires but the vehicle itself.

Tire Problem

I have to buy new tires every two years after 20K miles. Costco Service says the van's weight is not evenly distributed so I have to rotate tires every 4K miles and alignment every 6 months. It has been expensive to maintain.

Uncomfortable

The van is great, don't get me wrong, it's just that it seems to be geared toward the stereotypical "soccer mom" and not a 6'-2", 220# man. The seats (all of them) become extremely uncomfortable after about 30 minutes of ride time. For running errands and such, they're great...I don't recommend taking it on a road trip unless you intend to stop every hour or so to get your legs awake and tweak your back. The seats in a Camry and Rav4 are 10x better than the Sienna.

A true soccer mom vehicle

This van is definitely not made for long rides, especially if you're over 6' tall and over 160 pounds. The seats are so uncomfortable (All 4 captain's chairs) that after about 45 minutes into a trip, your legs go numb and your back starts to hurt. I'm 6'-2" and 220# and leg room up front is terrible. Tons of room in the back with the seats folded down, stow and go seating would have been a much better idea than having to pull out and store a full sized seat if you have a lot of stuff to haul.

Built for small soccer moms

The seats become uncomfortable at about the 1 hour ride marker and I'm not talking about 1 seat, I mean all 4 captain's chairs! Leg room for the driver and front passenger is not spacious and is nearly impossible for someone over 5'-9" to be comfortable. Back seats have plenty of room though.

nice looking van

I have a 2012 Sienna limited, and my only complaint so far is the cheap plastic they installed everywhere on the floor and the truck on the sides. It scratches very easily. For the kind of money one pays for a car you expect better quality even if it's plastic. Overall comfortable to drive, and I like the style.

love it I would make a couple of adjustment. 1. lumbar in both seat 2. exstend and beef up the drivers and copolite side arm rest. 3.memorey settings for the driver seat.

Overall Toyota is going in the right direction with family's not being small anymore. With what family's carrier with them nowadays, trying not to be cramped inside the vehicle.

True soccer mom behicle

All aspects of my Sienna are great, save two! 1) All four captains chairs become extremely uncomfortable for trips lasting over an hour. This is especially bad in the driver's seat. No amount of adjustments have remedied this issue. 2) The driver's compartment is not set up for leg comfort. Your legs are forced to remain in a bent configuration and you can't stretch your left leg out like in most other vehicles. The Sienna is a true soccer mom vehicle or run around for short trips kind of car.

Not happy with frequency of tire change.

I have had to replace tires more often; Costco folks have said that the van is too heavy for the tires. Twice I’ve had to replace tires at less than 20K. It’s a good size vehicle for a big family; comfort n style ok.

We love our Sienna Van. It is comfortable for 4-7 people, has plenty of room and amenities for the driver and passengers. And Toyota quality and reliability cannot be beat!

Great Vehicle

We have enjoyed this vehicle very much and will likely continue to purchase Toyotas in the future. While we have driven it less than 15,000 miles since purchase it has been difficult to accept the fact that the Warranty has expired. Think about a Warranty program for Senior Citizens lasting a bit longer, also since it is such a great vehicle why ( I know why-Money) push so hard for the extended warranty??? R. Holman

Love it!

I love my Toyota Sienna. It looks so sleek I don't feel like I'm driving a "mother's" car. I love the navigation screen, it's large and easy to follow, much better than any new phone on the market. It is very comfortable, and the safety rating just makes it that much more awesome. It has so much room I also use it to cart a lot things, using it like a pick-up truck, but it is so nice inside, it also makes a very nice passenger vehicle. We love traveling in it, too.

Great family car!

Really a great van and perfect for kids. The cup holders need to be removable to clean easier.

Best Vehicle ever Owned!

At 79000 miles the Toyota van is going strong. It is the first vehicle I have owned with this amount of mileage. Planning to hold onto it until we get another Toyota.

2012 Toyota Sienna XLE

One of the best vehicles that we have ever owned. Great mileage and smooth riding. But it as been the service that we receive at O'Briens that has made it so good.
