2007 Toyota Sienna Review: A Dependable Year For The Comfortable Well Built Minivan

Alex Showalter

Jul 16, 2022

The 2007 Toyota Sienna lasts over 300,000 miles with only some oil line and door handle issues. At $6,110 to $9,527 it’s expensive, but worth the money for one of the best vans.

The Good

The V6 engine offers excellent power, there’s more cargo space than other minivans and the seats are very comfortable.

The Bad

Handling is floaty, prices are higher than competitors and rear crash test scores are lower than rivals.

Is the 2007 Toyota Sienna a Good Used Van?

Yes, 2007 is a good year for the Sienna. Owner reviews praise the dependable engine, passenger space, and comfortable suspension.
Interior materials are nice and durable with soft fabric and leather choices available, and the infotainment system is very easy to use.
Reliability ratings are above average. Models from 2005–2010 are all good choices with some engine issues on 2011
Performance is better than the competition from the standard V6 engine.
The Sienna is reasonably safe, earning 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is okay for a minivan, at up to 19 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

Kerry B

It is very dependable and comfortable to ride in.

My sienna is comfortable. It has cloth seats which I love in the winter. I have had only drive train issues in my past 6 months. It is 11 years old. It is very dependable.

Maria S

Highlight of the car that are the best

Toyota its very good vehicle took longer the engine I have this vehicle long time I love it its very nice van

Lee L

How great it runs. Maintenance is very low. Body is in very great shape.

Runs great. No damages to the inside or out. Gets great gas mileage. Drives smooth, great on long trips and is very fast.

Karen F

Excellent reliability even after ten years with lots of space for everyone.

The Sienna has excellent reliability. Aside from routine maintenance, the only issues have been with the power doors. The gas mileage is very good especially on the highway. With 5 children, I need lots of space and we are able to fit everyone and their stuff for long road trips.

Kelli A

Great, durable family vehicle

We've done all routine maintenance and had no issues with our minivan. I've been happy with it and would look at another when the time comes to buy a new vehicle. The only things that have broken in ten years (and four boys!) of use are: built in garage door opener button (1 of the 3), upholstery in the very back has lifted up from the vehicle, back storage compartment lid came off.

Kristy H

It is strong and affordable. I love everything about it.

It is a great car. It has plenty of room. Gets great gas mileage. I love it!

Katherine P

Roomy and great for hauling

Has driven this vehicle to 289,000 and going! Very reliable, great safety rating. Will definitely buy again. Lots of room for kids, suitcases, groceries. We have hauled furniture too! Love that the back windows roll down. Easy to take out seats though it would be better if they were stow and go.

Heather L

Comfortable and Easy to Ride

I love our Toyota Sienna. It's very spacious with a lot of comfort in the back. The kids are just far enough a part in the seats that fight is not an issue. It doesn't have the masters in Bluetooth or anything like that, but we've managed just fine without and bought a portable FM tram otter one, and it works great. It's easy to drive and so we haven't had any major respite needed.

Negative Owner Reviews

For me

A true lemon that does nothing but squeezes money

Like the most, not much at the moment. 2007 at 20,000km had a new transmission put in. Now less than 90,000km I need a new engine. All maintenance kept up, replaced 3 of the 6 coils, front end strut assembly. DVD has never worked consistently. Sliding doors need new sensor. Have replaced one other sensor. Paid $50,000 new to have the privilege of driving it at $2.00 per Km. A cab would have been cheaper.

Ron S

The best thing about my car is the button that you press to open the back doors.

My vehicle is just a standard car that runs just fine and has no problems. However, I have been hearing this weird noise whenever I press on the brake and I am trying to get it fixed. Other than the weird noise, there is nothing negative to say about it. I do love how roomy it really is because you can not complain ever no matter how large or small you are.

Stacey C

Reliable, spacious, can carry whole family

Reliable with lots of space, can transport a lot, roomy, slow to accelerate, comfortable seating, spacious, no big problems, durable, feels safe and secure, good air conditioning, radio doesn't always work but generally performs well, general maintenance needed

Ellen S

Toyota Sienna was good until it was not

My Toyota Sienna XLE from summer 2007 was great for many years and reliable. In 2018, the tailgate no longer stays open on its own. It can fall moments after opening. The sliding door has a broken cable that is expensive to fix. Both of these issues were addressed by Toyota via a Warranty Extension by about 8 years. However, I did not have the problem then. I have it now. Pretty soon, it will be a two door car. Also, the handheld latch area for tailgate door leaves black tar-like substance on my hand. To replace that part is expensive too. To fix all the problems mentioned above is about $2,500. The car is not worth that much at this point. As of July 2019 I have approximately 135,000 miles. I was hoping to be one of those people who got 300,000 with their Toyota. One owner and on-time oil changes and maintenance. So, I'm a little disappointed that Toyota does not extend repairs for problems they have acknowledged.

Nereida P

The car is spacious enough for my family

When we purchased our vehicle it was in good condition years of passed by I would say 10 years and it does not work as before but overall it's been our vehicle which has taking us everywhere and it's a very comfortable car to drive in

Alisa C

It's old, eats tires and needs a new paint job. It's been a good vehicle.

Had refurbished transmission put in it, has a lot of miles on it

Sarah B

The Toyota sienna has been in our family for a long time.

Our family grew out of the seating. Performance wise it is ok. The seating could be a little wider. I do love the shape. The cargo space could be a bit bigger. I love the third row seating in some. Toyota is a good quality maker. We have given it a good safety rating. Our son currently drives it.

Monica U

This minivan is Great for large families and busy parents.

Fits all my kids and our stuff. Has DVD player for kids. Drives smooth. Just stinky and low to ground

What Do Critics Say About the Sienna?

Consumer Reports says the Sienna is the top-rated van for 2007 with very high long-term owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Sienna a 4.3/5 liking the fantastic build quality, but disliking the road noise.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Sienna 4.6/5 and enjoy the strong engine, but dislike the bland styling.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Toyota Sienna Have?

Common problems found on the 2007 Toyota Sienna are fairly minor including broken oil cooler lines, melted door hatch handles, and cracked dashboards.

Damaged oil cooler lines show up on some Sienna models at around 110,000 miles. Replacing the rubber lines with upgraded steel ones solves the problem, and costs around $400.

A melted latch handle is another complaint from owners at around 85,000 miles. The plastic on the handle tends to melt and get damaged in high heat environments with a lot of direct sunlight. Replacing the handle costs about $250.

Cracked dashboards happen on some Sienna vans at around 50,000 miles. Some owners replace the dash for over $1,000, while others just install a simple dash cover for roughly $100.

There are 10 recalls, with the most serious one being for the shift lever failing to go into park, which may cause the van to roll away.

How Long Will the 2007 Toyota Sienna Last?

A well-maintained 2007 Toyota Sienna should last over 300,000 miles, which is over 100,000 more than rivals like the Chrysler Town & Country. Data provided by Repair Pal shows that regular annual maintenance costs are lower than average at only $385 per year.

Most 2007 Sienna models will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace wheel bearings for $350, camshaft position sensors, which cost $250, and the A/C pressure switch, which costs $400.

Frances V

This vehicle is very reliable. It works very well and does is needed even with the max amount of people in the car.

John B

Extremely reliable. It let's me know when something is wrong. It talks to me. I see a light, I bring it in and it's usually just the beginning of a potential problem and is usually fixed within a week.

Zara N

It is very reliable! I don't have any major problems with it. I try to take care of it well. I've had it for 9 years.

Liz O

Well it’s getting quite old now, so yes we’ve had multiple issues including both of our automatic sliding doors are no longer working (which is one of our favorite features!), the passenger seat belt warning starts going off when no one is sitting there, our tire pressure light won't turn off even though our tire pressure is fine.

How Much Is the 2007 Toyota Sienna Worth?

Blue book values range from $6,110 to $9,527, which makes it thousands more than a Dodge Grand Caravan or Nissan Quest. When new, the price range was $24,115 to $37,665. Depreciation is better than average, only losing about 8% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Sienna?

There are four models of the 2007 Sienna available. The infotainment system was last updated in 2006, with a complete redesign and new technology added in 2011. Interior materials are above average compared to other minivans on the market from the same year.

CE is the entry-level model with:

16-Inch Steel Wheels
Cloth Seating
Keyless Entry
Front & Rear Air Conditioning
6-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo System With 3.5mm Jack

LE is a step up adding features such as:

Premium Cloth Seating
Heated Mirrors
Cruise Control
Roof Rack
Tinted Rear Windows
6-CD In-Dash Changer

XLE is next in the lineup and adds:

16-Inch Alloy Wheels
Power Liftgate
Tri-Zone Climate Control

What Engines Come In the Sienna?

The only engine found in the 2007 Toyota Sienna is the powerful 3.5L V6, which makes 266 horsepower and gets up to 19 mpg combined. Performance is okay, taking 7.7 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Sienna Come In?

How Big Is the Sienna?

The 2007 Toyota Sienna is an average minivan, similar in size to rivals including the Kia Sedona and Dodge Caravan. Passenger room is fantastic in all three rows of seating, with plenty of legroom to fit adults.

Cargo space is great, offering 43.6 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 94.5 cubic feet behind the second, and up to 148.9 cubic feet with all rows folded flat. There’s enough room for 5-6 suitcases even with all three rows of seating up.

How Does the Sienna Compare to the Competition?

The Honda Odyssey is a popular competitor costing $1,000 less. Technology is more up-to-date in the Odyssey, but the Sienna has better reliability ratings for this year. We recommend the Sienna since they have fewer problems for 2007, but the competition is closer in other years.

The Chrysler Town & Country is another rival, which costs about $2,500 less. Interior materials are more luxurious in the Town & Country, but the Sienna offers better handling and power. We recommend the Sienna since it has lower ownership costs and fewer complaints from owners.

Do Owners Recommend the Toyota Sienna?

Frances V

Absolutely, it is in good condition and I would recommend. There has been some minor issues, but it was fixed within a week which was very convenient.

Adele A

A very good vehicle. I won't get another. In 2010 I was looking for a reliable car. I hit the jackpot. I got it on the lot and it was leased for it's first 3 years and I bought it after that. I have never had any problems with it and I trust it with my Grandchildren also

Amanda G

Yes! I love my Toyota Sienna! It’s reliable, nice looking, and big enough for my family! I would love to have a newer one.

J S

Yes! We love Toyota’s in general, and absolutely love this van. It’s been perfect for our family. Our favorite features are the automatic sliding doors and the DVD player inside!

Nathan D on April 1, 2021

The car is getting a little old at this point, and rusting around the edges. Despite Its durability, it should be treated with care. I try to avoid taking it on particularly rough roads.

My vehicle is a white Toyota Sienna that seats eight people. I live in a community with eight members, so this is very convenient. The vehicle has shown to be durable, and has quality fuel efficiency.

Devin G on March 25, 2021

Full size middle seat in the second row, perfect for families.

I love my Toyota Sienna. The best feature is the full size middle seat in the second row. This makes it possible to have my toddlers car seat easily accessible.

Tamara L on March 20, 2021

Very comfortable family car

I love my car. It's a very good family vehicle. Didn't give me any problems . Very comfortable and easy to operate.

Nicole B on March 13, 2021

Toyota sienna reliability.

Very reliable with loads of features. Just oil changes regularly done will keep this vehicle running well. Also normal brake changes and tire changes. I am highly impressed. Only after 12 years is this vehicle in need of more TLC. I am never leaving this brand.

Terri K on March 6, 2021

It is low maintenance. I have had no major problems with it.

I love the way it rides and the interior. I don't like that it is a minivan!

Chelsea N on February 28, 2021

Do not go off on dirt roads without driving slowly.

Like the size, heated seats and fuel economy. Dislike the gps. Do not use it at all. Also do not like the leather seats as they wear, but they are easier to clean with children.

Steven Y on February 27, 2021

The fold down rear seat is a great idea. You can get either more room or more seats so easily it's crazy. It folds down into the van itself.

I like that it has plenty of room for us. The rear seats fold down into the van itself. That made putting the wheelchair lift in much easier, plus I didn't have to find a place to store the rear seats. It would be nice to get better mpg.

Yashim N on February 6, 2021

It is reliable. I can count on my car to to me to places.

Because the car has never failed me. However, the car is now out of style and needs to be changed

Jessica H on February 5, 2021

My kids loved the electric door.

Sliding electric door stops working. Have to get that fixed. Front dad is starting to crack. Other than that it is a pretty good vehicle.

Taylor R on January 12, 2021

Seats 8 passengers. Also with the seats down, it is great for hauling karate items.

Comfortable ride for the kids with plenty of space. No mechanical issues. Smooth gas pedal, great gas mileage for a van.

Elliott K on January 11, 2021

Toyota sienna the car for the whole family

And about the car was older and had issues. Overall, the car is reliable and can be used to transport children and groceries. This helps and all the daily activities that are associated with having children and all the essentials that are needed to perform family tasks

Lynnette J on January 5, 2021

It's a minivan and has a good amount of space

I love the space in my vehicle. It gets me where I need to go. We have had small problems with it from the day we bought it.

Heather R on January 4, 2021

I love my Toyota Sienna van!

I love my Toyota Sienna! It is very spacious and comfortable. The seats fold down in the back making plenty of room for hauling things. When the seats are not folded down, there is still plenty of room for items like suitcases. Our family has taken many long road trips in it and have had plenty of room for us as well as out luggage and extras. I like that one of the sliding doors is automatic with a push of a button.

Nicki S on December 31, 2020

It has great power and handling.

Love space, speed, reliability, ease of control/steering. Dislike age of vehicle, ability to clean nooks, sways in wind. Hate when driving in heavy rain, no matter what tires, feels like it will hydroplane.

Sharon G on December 26, 2020

Great gas mileage and very dependable.

I like everything about my vehicle. Good gas mileage and very dependable.

Katherine P on December 25, 2020

Roomy and great for hauling

mir f on December 11, 2020

Reliable and spacious for driving long trips for summer time

No complaint for any dislikes and can't think of any likes

Katie S on December 8, 2020

It's roomy! I like that we can fit our four kids in the van, and all of their things, and still have room.

I like that it is easy to drive. It's not too big of a vehicle. It's nice looking.

Maria S on December 5, 2020

Highlight of the car that are the best

Toyota its very good vehicle took longer the engine I have this vehicle long time I love it its very nice van

Kira S on November 18, 2020

It's reliable and gets decent mileage. It's a 2007.

Too big. Too old. Uses too much gas. It's dependable.

keith b on November 9, 2020

Not so many repairs put a lot of miles on comfortable for passengers

Rides well on highways. Not a lot of repairs.not great in snow

Sarah B on November 7, 2020

The Toyota sienna has been in our family for a long time.

Gerald F on November 3, 2020

There is a lot of space to fit people in this vehicle.

The vehicle is overall a good vehicle, but it is 10 years old now, so there are natural problems. The wheel bearings went out recently, and it was sort of expensive to fix. Some of the basic functions no longer work properly.

James P on October 30, 2020

My Sienna is reliable and practical. It's not flashy but it is a trustworthy vehicle

I love that my car has very good gas mileage and has enough room for the things that I need to carry.

Sarah Z on October 24, 2020

Love the a c and The interior design

Good looking car, The interior design gives you an easy access to the back seat if you have kids this is your car. Big trunk, easy folding seats in The back gives you even more space if you're traveling with lots of luggage.

Hoai N on October 23, 2020

The car runs smoothly. All you need to do is maintenance your car regularly.

My favorite vehicle. It's very roomy. Have no complain.

Cali A on October 19, 2020

I love the Toyota Sienna.

I love the Toyota Sienna. It drives very easily, turns quickly, and is very comfortable on the inside. The only downside is the AWD is heavy and this makes braking more difficult. You have to make sure to give yourself enough time to stop. Other than that it is great.

Lilia R on October 19, 2020

It is a very reliable vehicle.

Very reliable vehicle. Good for big families.

Richard A on October 11, 2020

Most Dependable and comfortable van

I would have given the highest rating except the amount of road noise in the cabin is louder than the Honda Odyssey. Power and acceleration are exemplary. Fuel economy is acceptable and the interior seating is very comfortable. I love the heated leather front seats in the cold Ohio winter's. This van has been extraordinarily dependable. It currently has around 177,000 miles on it with nothing other than normal wear and tear items going bad. Will definitely buy another Sienna when this one finally died.

Daniel K on October 8, 2020

This van has crossed the country coast to coast 9 times. We have loved it.

The most common issues I have had with my van are regular battery failure and frequent tire ware. About every other year we have to change the battery and the tires. Part of that is due to the extreme heat in phoenix. Summers reaching over 120 degrees are brutal on vehicles. Tires wear out faster than normal and shred easily. This is expensive.

Rosa G on October 2, 2020

Lovely for your family drive all along the united states.

Love this van it's perfect for the families and for trips I have given plenty of trips with my family it has a super space in the trunk I had to buy a new car I will buy this sienna again.

Asma K on September 23, 2020

My car is extremely reliable.

It is very comfortable. My vehicle is quite old that is the only problem I have with it else works perfect.

Jenny E on September 2, 2020

Comfortable ride, some issues as it gets older.

Comfortable drive, easy to handle. I'm sitting higher up so it's easier to see. Automatic rear door always sticks when it rains and is humid. The windshield has spots on it sometimes, almost like a fog. Always been that way. The rear door handle broke twice, again because it sticks. I Love this van but wish it didn't have these issues.

Carl C on August 25, 2020

Great ride and lots of room and seating.

It has lots of room, love the stow n go seating! Had some issue with backup camera, great running vehicle, no mechanical issues. Good sounding stereo, lots of storage compartments, good handling on road way, long wheel base which makes some difficulty in turning.

Jeanette P on August 25, 2020

Functional, spacious, comfortable, good gas mileage, and the machine is great.

Toyota sienna has been so far great. I have not had any big problems even though it has about 192,000 miles. It is very comfortable, and enough spaces for each passenger. The only small issue at least for me I have had is with the stereo. The AUX has not worked well since the beginning. It did get change once during the first year, and it worked fine for a while, but the problem it still persist.

Cathy B on August 17, 2020

It lasts a long time with no issues.

Reliable. Not expensive to maintain. Rides beautifully after all these years. Spacious and is easy to see out of.

Elliot N on August 15, 2020

Love the space and dependability of my Sienna

The Sienna is very reliable. It is 11 years old, and we have had no significant repair issues - only regular maintenance. The trunk is quite roomy, and the removable captain's chairs are an excellent feature. Decent gas mileage for a vehicle that size.

Heather T on August 15, 2020

Lots of space for people or stuff

This vehicle is a great mode of transportation. You can fit a lot of cargo is the back and still have room for all seats to be filled. The double automatic doors are extremely helpful when loading up the kids.

Theresa C on August 12, 2020

This minivan is very dependable and can be used for many things.

The van is very dependable. We are able to carry various size items in the back with the seats down. A lot of seating capacity.

Monica U on August 3, 2020

This minivan is Great for large families and busy parents.

Fits all my kids and our stuff. Has DVD player for kids. Drives smooth. Just stinky and low to ground

Athena L on July 31, 2020

Although there have been some recalls for the car, but overall it has been working very well for an 11 year old car. Very few fixing required in the past.

I like my car as the 3rd row of the seats can be folded down to make more rooms for transporting things. It's quiet, great features, and good gas mileage.

Ellen D on July 25, 2020

I like to be able to offer to drive for almost any carpool. I dislike the total size of the vehicle making it a little more difficult to park. It's been very reliable and has had very few problems.

My car is reliable transportation for up to 8 people.

eric s on July 15, 2020

It has run very well and has yet to require a major repair.

This vehicle has been very reliable. No major repairs have been necessary, yet. It is fuel efficient and worth the money spent.

Terri K on July 11, 2020

It has been a great vehicle. Hardly any mechanical problems.

I like how my car rides and the features. I don't like that it is a minivan!

Alison G on July 10, 2020

It is a minivan boys and it is cool I guess like gas is a lot.

It is a minivan so of course I have problems driving it as an 18 year old it is slow and heavy the acceleration is slow, confit I guess it is good it is holds like 8 people so it is like a party van if you know what I mean. So like if you consider buying a limo van at 18 do it because u and your friends will have a good time together as a group instead in separate cars.

Kristy H on July 9, 2020

It is strong and affordable. I love everything about it.

It is a great car. It has plenty of room. Gets great gas mileage. I love it!

William O on June 23, 2020

Great reliable car! Wise buy!

No problems. Been excellent car with room to move things and take grandchildren places. Has been so reliable and bought it used in 2011. Love many cup holders.

Sarah S on June 13, 2020

It looks rough, but it runs.

It is an ok vehicle. Clunky but a reliable van. It has had trouble with belts, but beside that runs ok.

Leslie M on June 11, 2020

It's very family friendly and comfortably seats 6 people.

It's very roomy and I love the automatic features such as the doors and sunroof. I like the video player as well.
