Reliability
I bought it with 208,000 and now has 244,000 with no problems. Transmission pan has a drain plug with a 10mm allen plug in it. The vehicle is easy to work on and smarter then american cars as far as lay out. Take off 4 bolts, wiper arms and unplug the wiper motor and you remove the whole assembly in 5 minutes. Changed water pump and timing belt on a saturday as an update for many care free miles. Parts are cheap and easy to change. The van uses cheap tires and the ride is great. I plan to run this to 300,000 so i keep the oil changed every 2500. TSB from toyota says the 3.0 liter has a sludge problem so change oil more often. When i replaced the valve cover gaskets i didnt see a sludge build up at all. I use high mileage valvoline from walmart and a mobile 1 filter. Great van and with no alcohol gas i get 23 -24 mpg. I am pretty sold on the toyota sienna and will buy another when this one quits. A 2000 vehicle with no rust. Why would i buy a dodge or ford van as they look like junk even 10 years old.

It is the most dependable and sturdy car i have ever been in. I would choose this car over anything else
I love how dependable my van is. It has served my family for a very long time and we have taken it across country many times. I dislike the fact that the turn radius is huge.

It's 18 years old, and still runs great! It gets good gas mileage.
Love my Sienna. It's very roomy. I can haul very large items. Both the second and third row of seats can be easily removed. The third row can also be left in place and folded up and tumbled. I get good gas mileage. It has been a very reliable vehicle. Little maintenance is required. The one problem that I have had is with the rear passenger door. It has an automatic door opener which no longer works. However, the door is very easy to manually.

Very reliable. Good looking. Affordable. Large enough to transport large objects.
It is extremely reliable. The Toyota Sienna is one of the highest rated minivans for good reason.

Side sliding doors makes loading children easier.
I love my minivan. I can fit all 7 grandchildren. They can watch movies on long drives. Electric seat adjusters and mirrors. Sliding doors on both sides. It has never left me stranded. Front and back wipers and defrost. I can put audio on back speakers only. Each seat has air conditioning vents.
accountCircle Catherine Baum
Still a smooth ride and ages better than Ford, Chrysler or Chevy.
You do not have to take out the engine to change the spark plugs! Love this van.

This car is perfect for families looking for a spacious vehicle!
This car is terrible on gas mileage! It constantly has problems with the door handles breaking off every year. It honestly is wearing down and I have bought too many handles to replace the piece. I want a new car so bad.
accountCircle Kitty W
For big families You can travel all over very comfortably
It's very old but still works great. A/C still blows cool

That minivans are good cars.
I like how well it runs and I like the size sometimes. However, I dislike the age of the car and how it looks.
accountCircle Melissa S
Comfortable seating at slow speeds
The car itself is pretty old, so the brakes are bad and I have to slow down early while driving. It is also difficult to speed up and feel in control of the vehicle.
accountCircle Lucinda G
It is a van that has plenty of room
I really do not like a van. But with 5 people in the household and all the chores and shopping which we have to do it accommodates our needs. It is not a bad vehicle at all. It is reliable and comfortable. Even for long distance rides. No current problems that I am aware of.
accountCircle Casey L
Reliable brand that lasts long, but parts break easily
Old and needs to be replaced. Stable and durable, long-lasting
accountCircle Kristin M
Nice for a big family both side doors open.
It is a reliable vehicle. Gets decent gas mileage. I don't like it in the wind snow or rain it doesn't handle well. Too hot during summer because of all the windows. The seats ate a pain to remove and then there is no where to store them. It does have air conditioning in front and back which is nice and it does have front wheel drive.
accountCircle Christopher E
Pretty good. Comfortable, but flawed.
The car is good. Drives well, but has items share of issues. Kinda seems like something is always going wrong.

Toyota sienna - great vehicle!
I drive a 2000 Toyota sienna. They have great ratings like, especially in the category of durability seeing as they are great with high mileage. My Toyota is my daily driver and I have never had any problems with it besides a small temporary door problem that fixed itself. I believe I am the second or third owner as well. They are fairly cheap as well, and our neighbors own the exact same model as ours, which goes to show how popular they are. I really enjoy the van and I trust in it to get me where I need to go. I strongly recommend for anyone who needs a reliable family vehicle!

Reliable, quiet and comfortable.
We have owned this vehicle for almost 8 years and have only had to put money into it for basic maintenance. It has been very reliable for us. It is comfortable to ride in for long trips and is quiet at high speeds.
