Minivans are the bomb dot com.
My van is great. It gets decent gas mileage. It is very comfortable on the inside with 3 rows of seats, including a set of captain's chairs in the middle. The automatic sliding door is very convenient. It is easy for my kids to get in and out safely. It is great!

Regular maintenance give you a smooth ride
Single owner since 2001. Have irritating “ Engine light “ problem. After changing almost every oxygen sensors came to know that tight control values are causing “ engine light come on” . I am driving 90000 mile with engine light on . Nothing wrong with engine.Still give me 19 mile city drive.

I like its style and the way it accelerates when I put the pedal to the metal.
I like the way it handles when I drive it. It has a great pick up speed. It is easy to handle and I would buy it again. I don't have any complaints about it at all.

I've had the van for 14 years and it is still reliable
I've had my van for years and it is still working quite well. Gives me the space I need to transport family and belongings. I've got no car payments and it is a very reliable vehicle

My van has some age on it but it still runs very good
This vehicle has been a very good vehicle. We have not had any trouble with the van. No complaints.

It has low repairs so far.
I love ability to carry a lot of people as well as cargo.it is 17 years old and still runs well. I resent the high cost to repair it or for routine maintenance.

I have had my Toyota Sienna since 2005 and love it. It has performed well on numerous long mileage trips and has plenty of space for my family of five.
It has plenty of legroom in both the front and back seats.

Negative Owner Reviews

It gets my three toddlers around and us good for grocery shopping
Air conditioning and heating ventilation is horrible and hard to control. Horrible gas mileage. Blind spots are bad and audio system are far from good. Problems with wheel bearings, tire pressure lights coming on. Engine light comes on every couple hundred mile for O2 sensors. Not a great buy!

Our Toyota Sienna: Comfort, Space & Functionality
I drive a silver 2001 Toyota Sienna. I like the amount of seating and cargo space it has, especially since my vehicle prior to this one was a sedan, so it is definitely more spacious than that. It's obviously a little dated (it has a cassette player, for example, and no audio input ports), but it's comfortable and functional and it fits what my family needs right now. We haven't had any issues with it in the time we've owned it (about 2 years now).

Not much to say. It's a good vehicle just needs a tune up
Its reliable, comfortable, and has an exhaust leak, needs a new O2 sensor. All in all it's a good and reliable vehicle
accountCircle Andrea H
It is a great vehicle for those with multiple children.
I like the size and shape. The seats are comfortable. I don't like the cargo space. The door handles all keep breaking and sticking.
accountCircle Brenda L
It rides good it is heavy and that makes it rides it is very comfortable.
It has too many miles, I do not like the color, use too much gas. It rides good and it hold a lot of people.

It's my grandchildren and great grandchildren to the places they need to go.
It gets me to and from where I need. It's had its problems
accountCircle Cheryl P
It is been our primary family vehicle for 17 years and still runs great.
We've had this car since it was new and it keeps on going! I love that it is roomy. The engine just will not quit! The body and interior are showing age though.
accountCircle Danielle D
Car drives well had it only for a few months, it holds up well.
This car drives well. Though mine has manual windows, which are a pain, but still the a/c helps with that. The seats are nice and cleanable, and the interior holds up well to the heat. The exterior paint job is great and has held up for so many years.

Love this vehicle wouldn't trade it.
I love smaller cars so this vehicle works perfect for me. It's red which is also my favorite color. Last year my grandmother passed away from cancer and this is her car so I enjoy the rides a little more feeling like she's still with me today. The car has not had any issues since me nor my grandma had it. We keep it up to date with oil changes & keep the vehicle clean so I love it. Definitely recommend this car because it is older and still runs perfect.
accountCircle Andrea H on February 10, 2021
It's great for families of 3 to 6. It seats seven, but doesn't have a lot of cargo space.
I like the comfortable driving. It's fairly easy to park. I like that it has two sliding doors. I don't like that the middle windows don't open and we've had a horrible time with the door handles breaking.

Is The 2001 Toyota Sienna A Good Car?

Yes it has been very reliable. It has had a few problems but nothing major. Interior and outside body has held up well and for long trips is very comfortable and not bad on gas mileage.

How Reliable Is The 2001 Toyota Sienna?

The 2001 Toyota Sienna is reliable. It is an older vehicle so it does have a small oil leak. I do maintenance on a regular basis and have had to replace a few things.
