2011 Toyota Sienna Review: Long Lasting High Priced Van Owners Can Count On

Alex Showalter

Mar 22, 2022

The 2011 Sienna lasts over 300,000 miles with only minor engine sensor and sliding door issues. At $9,595 – 16,309 the van is expensive but worth it for the reliability.

The Good

The infotainment system is easy to use, the V6 engine offers good power and the seats are extremely comfortable.

The Bad

There are a lot of plastic components in the cabin, the base 4-cylinder is weak and prices are higher than rivals.

Is the 2011 Toyota Sienna a Good Used Van?

Yes, 2011 is a good year. We have received a lot of positive owner reviews mentioning a roomy cabin, easy maneuverability, and long-lasting engines.
Reliability ratings are great. There are a similar number of complaints on the 2011 model compared to other years, but any model newer than 2009 is a great choice.
Performance is decent from the V6, but the 4-cylinder is underpowered.
The Sienna is a safe van earning 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests and a Top Safety Pick Award.
Fuel economy is good at up to 20 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

Lori P

The Sienna is a safe and reliable minivan great for families.

The Sienna is a reliable, safe minivan. It has a lot of space inside both for passengers and for cargo. It gets reasonably good gas mileage, but tires tend to be expensive to replace.

Amanda P

They'll love it and wonder why they didn't already own a van.

I like the room. It is reliable and holds the family. It drives well and is comfortable. I do not have any complaints.

Michelle H

It is very dependable and great for a family.

I like my vehicle because it is dependable. We haven't had any major problems with it. It gets us where we need to be. Plus the inside is very forgiving with dirt and the messes that come along with kiddos. No complaints.

Jim B

It's a keeper and I wouldn't trade it in.

I don't have any bad to say about it. It runs very well it's good on gas and it has enough power for me.

David S

Low maintenance, reliable vehicle.

I have had no issues with the vehicle. It has just needed routine oil changes. It seats six comfortably. The gas mileage is pretty good. I would recommend this vehicle to friends and family. When I look at getting a new car I will look at Toyota's first as I feel they are very reliable.

Lori C

The best thing about my car is that the sliding doors make it very easy to get kids in and out quickly.

I love that my minivan is spacious for both passengers and cargo. I love that it has been very dependable and reliable. When it is time for a new vehicle I would love to have a new Toyota Sienna.

Tiffany T

The most important is that it is very comfortable for a family of 8.

I love the turning radius this van has. It seats 8 passengers and has lots of space in the inside. Great for traveling as well. This van is good on gas and better for long distance travel and comfort!

Brittani H

It is big enough to seat eight people comfortably.

I love my van because it seats 8 and has plenty of room for everyone. It drives smooth. It is reliable.

2011 Toyota Sienna

We bought 2011 Sienna and every year this car has the problem . Thought Toyota will be much better . Spend so much money in repairing this . Now the engine blew out.Not a reliable one at all

vicky a

The transmission guy said the transmission is too small for that size vehicle

72000 miles and the transmission went out. 7 years old. I expected Toyota to be more reliable than that. No warning signs.

Isabelle M

An oldie but a goodie family car.

This vehicle is very run down and old. It does have its perks however, it has a radio and a disk player. The best quality of the vehicle has to be it is DVD player where you can insert a disk and watch it. This makes for a very good family car that also can take you on long road trips from my experience.

Ella C

It is very affordable because gas mileage and care has been a very minimum.

I like all the room and that it has room for 8 people. Gas mileage is fair and has been low maintenance in repairs and care.

Rita J

Great family vehicle - seats 7 and holds all the pets.

Drives well. Seats many passengers. Room for a lot of cargo. Big windows. Lots of extras- heated seats, powered mirrors. Great power and pick up. Very good gas mileage. Has a roof rack. Easy to change oil. Roomy, fold down third seat. Easy to keep clean. Interior storage. Cup holders.

Lily H

Good condition minivan for families.

It is very comfortable. Drives smooth. Holds large families. Easy to install car seats. DVD player very helpful for my small children. Cloth seats don't get too hot or cold depending on the weather. Radio easy to understand. AUX cord adaptable. Adjustable driver seat.

Debbie O

The biggest thing people should know that it has issues that are costly to fix and are major things, like oils spewing all over the place.

The car is roomy and drives well. I don't lie the maintenance. We have had several things go bad that are expensive and exclusive to toyota

Ariel W

Last a long time and comfortable.

It is really good but can stain. It can last a long time. It can get a lot of miles and still run good. The seats are very comfortable. It smells nice. Doors open up smoothly. The windows are good and clear. Problems are it is not modern. A traditional vehicle. It will last you a really very long time though.

What Do Critics Say About the Sienna?

Consumer Reports finds the Sienna to be a comfortable and powerful van with very high owner satisfaction ratings.
Edmunds rates the Sienna 4.4/5 and likes the optional all-wheel-drive, but notes the cabin has a lot of cheap plastic parts.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Sienna a 4.4/5 liking the reclining comfortable seats, but it is more expensive than rivals.

What Common Problems Does the 2011 Toyota Sienna Have?

Problems with the Sienna are relatively minor, including a loss of power while driving, sliding door issues, and seat motors wearing out.

Owners mention a loss of power in the first 25,000 miles. The problem is usually caused by a failed airflow sensor, which costs around $200 to replace.

Malfunctioning sliding doors are another complaint at around 20,000 miles. There are several sources including cables, motors, and the door sliding out of the track. Repairing the door can cost $150 to $500 depending on the problem.

Worn-out seat controls are an issue showing up at around 55,000 miles. The switches and motors wear out as the van ages, and replacing them costs about $500.

There are 14 recalls, none of which are very serious, including drive shaft, seat heater wiring, air bags, and power sliding door.

How Long Will the 2011 Toyota Sienna Last?

A properly maintained 2011 Sienna will last around 300,000 miles, which is twice as long as competitors including the Grand Caravan. Maintenance costs are average for a van at $570 per year, according to Repair Pal.

As a Sienna reaches 100,000 miles owners should prepare to replace the air conditioning expansion valve for $900, wheel bearings costing $300, and axle shaft seals which cost $250.

Jessica O

It has been very reliable thus far. No issues as of yet. Drives very smoothly and is easy to maneuver.

Anna B

It has been pretty reliable for us. Had to replace the front and back breaks but it does have over 100,000 miles on it.

Mariko S

Yes, I have never had any issues with reliability in this vehicle. Neither have I had any other issues.

Alli L

It has been very reliable. We live where it snows and we have never had any problems on the roads. It has done amazing on many road trips. Very reliable car!

Jared H

It is been really reliable. No big problems that would have costed me a lot. Any problems I have had were small and part of wear and tear of a car.

Mari M

Yes it is very reliable and does not have any major problems. I am actually very good at maintaining the vehicle with scheduled maintenance.

Deserae O

It has been very reliable, I have not had one single problem as of yet. But I haven't quite had the van a year yet.

Helen M

I have had no reliability issues with my Sienna. There have been a few recalls on various parts (like the sliding door mechanism) but the dealership has honored all recalls with no problem.

How Much Is the 2011 Toyota Sienna Worth?

Blue book prices range from $9,595 – 16,309 making the Sienna more expensive than rival minivans including the Odyssey and Sedona. When new, the price range was $25,060 to $40,570. Depreciation is better than average, losing about 6% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Sienna?

What Engines Come In the Sienna?

The base engine is a relatively weak 2.7L 4-cylinder making 187 horsepower.
An optional upgrade is the quick 3.5L V6 which has 265 horsepower and takes the van from 0-60 in 7.9 seconds.

What Colors Does the Sienna Come In?

How Big Is the Sienna?

The Toyota Sienna is average-sized for a minivan, similar to the Odyssey and Town & Country. Passenger room is very good throughout the cabin, fitting adults in all three rows with very comfortable seats.

Cargo space is very good with 39 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 87.1 behind the second, and a maximum of 150. The second row of seats does not fold down and has to be removed to use the full cargo area.

How Does the Sienna Compare to the Competition?

The Dodge Grand Caravan is a popular competitor at nearly $5,000 cheaper. Where the Dodge stands out is with a better seat storage system, but the Sienna lasts much longer. Overall, we recommend the Sienna, which is more reliable and affordable to own.

The Nissan Quest is another rival at $6,000 cheaper. Performance is a bit stronger in the Quest, but technology and features are better in the Sienna. We recommend the Sienna since they last longer with fewer mechanical problems.

Do Owners Recommend the Toyota Sienna?

Jessica O

Yes. It is a very good family vehicle, has a large trunk to hold groceries or a stroller if needed. Plenty of room.

Anna B

Yes, love it. I love that it is AWD. It has a enough room for our family. The sliding doors are great with young kids.

Mariko S

Yes, it is easy to switch out the seating arrangements. I love the back up camera and zoned climate control.

Alli L

Yes! I have loved having it. I never wanted a minivan but with three kids this was the perfect fit for us. The back seats are easy to fold down for more storage. My kids can get in and out on their own and the automatic doors are a lifesaver. Have absolutely loved this van!

Jared H

Yes it is still going and I haven't had too many problems that were big. It is also been reliable for my family.

Mari M

Yes it is actually a very reliable vehicle but it has over 190,000 miles on it and I am almost ready for a new one.

Deserae O

Yes I love it. Very luxurious and roomy for a big family. Also has a TV which my kids really enjoy on trips. Easy on gas and good in the snow. I wouldn't own another van.

Brooklyn U

Yes. I have been very happy with mine. The middle seats were very convenient when my kids were in car seats. My older daughter likes having the back seat to herself.

Trustworthy

Bought my 2011 used in 2017with 87,000 miles on it. As of February 2023 there is over 203,600 miles and still running strong. Repairs have been very little

Kelly L on June 21, 2021

Nothing new hear - what you expect is what you get.

It is reliable, is comfortable and seats 6 very comfortably with options to seat 8. Four car seats fit easily in this vehicle. It is very loud on the freeway. It is not particularly attractive, but it is useful for transporting kids. It is a care-free vehicle and practical. There are really no special features of this vehicle - it pretty much meets your standards for a minivan.

Cole S on June 8, 2021

Great dependability, safe, family approved.

Super reliable. Very few mechanical issues. Have loved the dependability. I feel like basic maintenance is really the only thing I have had to keep up with and that would be a requirement for any vehicle I owned. Toyota to me stands out as a dependable and safe brand of vehicle.

Madison R on June 3, 2021

Seats 8 people. Heated seats. TV in the back.

I love my car. The way it drives. The way it glides on the road. I love the space it has. My kids love the digital TV in the back. It has to where u can control the temp in the back by itself. The only issues I have is the breaks wore down really fast the radio sounds like garbage. And I hate the color of the van.

Tiffany S on May 19, 2021

Toyota sienna is spacious and efficient.

I love the sienna. Although I only have one child it gives the most space for when the mothers at the carpool for events and vacations. I have the full packaged dual control climate system that allows for adjustments in the back as well. I hope for the future a minivan could be offered in more stylish options like leather seats, this would make it so much easier for me to clean up after my toddler and his cousins.

Anna A on May 15, 2021

Fun to drive or ride in, even when taking a kid shopping!

I love this van! It is so comfortable! Good gas mileage! We stick to the maintenance schedule, and, knock on wood, no issues, especially not any that have left us stranded on the side of the road. Riding down the road in our van feels like true luxury to us!

Sheley S on April 22, 2021

Why you should get an Toyota sienna.

The inside of the vehicle is nice and spacious. It is nice and easy to keep clean. The ride is smooth, easy to break, and a great car for everyday use. The perfect car to fit a family of seven. It takes about 35-45 dollars depending on the state you live. Overall it a great and affordable car.

Margaret H on April 13, 2021

Great family van. Looks good too!

Love my van. Wished there was a hybrid option. Gas mileage is only issue (with AWD). My family fits comfortably. Great for errands. Works well for long, family vacations. Helpful features- such as Bluetooth, DVD player, cordless headphones, etc. Very happy.

Leo B on April 12, 2021

Good overall vehicle, highly recommended.

Grey Toyota sienna, lots of trunk space, seats 8 people, but the extra seat can be taken in and out easily, so it is small and not very comfortable. The engine runs surprisingly well and has very good acceleration especially for a larger vehicle. This car is up to about 150,000 miles and still runs smoothly without problems. We have taken it on many vacations and it has plenty of storage space for lots of stuff. It has never had any major problems. It is a very reliable vehicle and has done quite a bit of off roading for a vehicle not intended for that use. It is comfortable and comfortably fits seven passengers. The drivers seat has good situated and sits well and can be adjusted easily. There is plenty of leg room for all passengers in the vehicle. Overall it is a very good car and I would recommend it to anyone.

Jess B on April 8, 2021

Sienna is a great minivan.

I love mini minivan, even 9 years later! We've kept up with the maintenance and as a result we've had zero mechanical issues—with well over 100,000 miles. It drives like a car, but there is room for everyone! My husband always jokes that we could live in it.

Isabelle M on April 4, 2021

An oldie but a goodie family car.

Anna W on April 1, 2021

It is a good option for families.

It is easy to drive, drives smoothly, is good for families, and has lots of space. It is difficult to park and is not the most attractive or stylish car.

Donovan A on April 1, 2021

I think that my vehicle is very reliable and it can drive long distances.

I think that my vehicle is very reliable and it can drive long distances it can also hold up to eight people which is very useful.

Piper A on March 27, 2021

Tons of comfortable space.

This van is awesome. So roomy and so much space to store everything. The gas mileage is not the best but I can watch it getting better in the gas mileage gage which is exciting. The driving is very comfortable. I like how the driver's seat feels and the fact that both passenger and drivers seat have arm rests.

Fatma Y on March 27, 2021

Drive with comfort, safe and warm. You can talk free hand.

Toyota sienna XLE, has many options. Leather seats, DVD, GPS, moonroof, power doors, Bluetooth, heating front seats, etc. You can reach easily to your drinks. Very comfortable. Smooth driving but using more gas. You can get a big loading area touching with your finger by laying down the back seats.

Carrie A on March 25, 2021

The safety features on the car.

It is easy to bump the switch that allows inside lights to turn on when entering the car. I have had a few problems with the hands free phone feature but can be resolved when phone is unpaired and then paired again. Otherwise no complaints.

Lindsey O on March 16, 2021

Cars brands my car is in a good condition run good personal or business.

I have 4 years with the car and I don't have a lot problem as long you take care oil break tire and maintained in good condition and check every 6 months basic the car don't going to have major problems my car is good I love how it run and Toyotas are a good brand.

Jan H on March 13, 2021

Love my Toyota Sienna - I'll never buy anything else!

I love the smooth ride and handling. It has fantastic reliability. For a big vehicle, it has a very tight turn radius. One downside: the heat and air conditioning are slow to get going.

Kathie M on March 11, 2021

Roomy enough for 6 adults.

I have never had any problems with this car and we are very good about maintaining it... Ie tires, oil changes. Love this van because I have three kids (set of twins) because both side doors open which is very convenient. The middle bench is roomy and comfortable even for adults to sit room. I addition there is plenty of storage room in the trunk area.

Kyler J on March 6, 2021

Worth every dollar and then some!

Have had no issues to date. Regular maintenance and cleaning has been more than enough to keep it running perfectly. Love being able to quickly stow away the third row when extra space is needed and have plenty of space for passengers of any size when the third row is required. Compared to our previous SUV getting kids in and out is a breeze and it is awesome having enough space for groceries and any other normal cargo even with the third row installed.

Tammy S on March 4, 2021

It's been a very reliable car, I would recommend this vehicle

The sienna is a Nice spacious vehicle. We have had some electrical issues. The button to operate the passenger sliding door doesn't work anymore. Mechanically it's been a good vehicle. We did receive a lot of recalls from Toyota which was concerning. Wouldn't recommend a white vehicle, shows a lot of the dirt.

Trevor F on March 3, 2021

It's the perfect family vehicle.

I wish we would have gotten thus vehicle much earlier, it is the best vehicle I've ever driven. It's safe, stylish and durable.

Kristen G on March 2, 2021

Toyota Sienna: a nice family-friendly vehicle

The Toyota Sienna is a comfortable and useful family vehicle. I love how much space it has for both passengers and storage. It rides smoothly and having the sliding doors is of course incredibly helpful with children. It has been very reliable and we have never had any problems besides regular maintenance. It is easy to use car seats with, especially in the captain's chairs. I also love the removable extra seat that can be put in between the captains chairs. My only complaint is that with this model year the technology is getting outdated. The backup camera is not very good and the Bluetooth sometimes has problems connecting.

Mike A on February 26, 2021

Toyota family loves their sienna!

My Toyota sienna has been a dependable vehicle for my family. My father in law bought it new and drove it as a seasonal vehicle and we bought it from him when he couldn't drive anymore. We haven't had any issues with the van, other than routine maintenance. We've driven it on many family vacations and we’ve been very pleased with its comfort and reliability. Because if our impression of our sienna, we’ve bought other Toyota’s since our sienna purchase, and will continue to buy Toyota’s in the future.

Libby P on February 26, 2021

Spacious red Toyota minivan.

It is very spacious and drives well. The interior is easy to keep clean and the gas tank holds about 16 gallons. It reaches speed fairly quickly for its size as well. I have had it for 10 years and it still runs great. Maintenance is easy and it is never had any bad problems with it.

Leslie A on February 24, 2021

Great, reliable, affordable and no regrets.

The comfort is amazing. It is a great car. I have over 200k on it and nothing major other than regular maintenance. My kids love the car. We have a DVD player on the back and it still functions. Car runs very smooth. If I were to get another car for my family it will be this one again. I highly recommend it.

Joseph M on February 23, 2021

Its dependable on all types of roadways.

I like that it is big enough to carry up to 7 people and luggage. I like the sliding doors. I do not like the fact that I am over 60 and still driving a van.

Rachel H on February 23, 2021

Toyota Sienna is a great reliable family car.

Problems are few. I've just had it for a while and would like something new. The vehicle performance is great. I'm a very low maintenance car. I've had the battery replace twice and the tires replaced twice. It is a very comfortable car. The automatic doors are awesome. Great to take on road trips and to my son's sporting events. It's a really safe car with a great back up camera. Overall it's a great car for people with children.

Thais C on February 21, 2021

Me and my family love this car.

It is a great family car. It has plenty of space to people sit comfortable and to put many stuff. You can choose between 7 or 8 passengers only taking out or put in a middle sit in the back sit. I love the heat in the front sits. Also I love drive talls cars.

Sarah L on February 20, 2021

A nice family friendly vehicle with lots of perks.

The rear seats fold down in 2 pieces which is nice when you are traveling for a week with 3 children. It's always a smooth ride. The sound system is clear. The safety automatic doors help when my children are getting in and out of the car so they do not get injured.

Hayley S on February 20, 2021

Very easy with kids. Very convenient and makes life easier.

I like the automatic doors. I like the room. But do not like that it is not a remote start. I love that it drives smooth.

Blanca C on February 19, 2021

Spacious, comfortable and reliable.

It is comfortable, spacious, and affordable when it comes to fixing it very reliable car. Has a build in TV, Bluetooth. Navigation system. Seats recline and the double sided door are a piece of heaven when you have small kids. Adjustable sits. Ac through the whole van.

Claire M on February 15, 2021

Sturdy and reliable cold weather car.

This car has gotten me through so much. It has over 300,000 miles on it and still going strong. Never broken down and does well in icy conditions. The interior is plush and comfortable, and the controls are easily accessible to my small statue. Really great car.

Lisa A on February 14, 2021

It is a great, dependable vehicle made by a great company.

It is the most reliable minivan that I have owned. It runs great. Never a problem thus far. Will definitely buy another Toyota minivan in the future.

Alaina C on February 14, 2021

My vehicle has held up to all of the expectations I had when buying.

My vehicle is reliable and have not had any problems with it since I have had it. The trunk is a little small considering it is a van for a large family. Also, the second row of seating seems difficult to slide forward and backward at times- sometimes it gets stuck. It gets great gas mileage.

Kara E on February 13, 2021

Toyota sienna is a great family vehicle.

The 2011 Toyota sienna has been great for my family. It has seating for 7 so it is great for big families and carpooling. Never have an issue with it, just keep up on normal oil changes and routine maintenance. It is easy to clean. I love the Toyota sienna and Toyota is just a great brand all around.

Jen G on February 13, 2021

Reliable and great amount of space!

This is a great vehicle for anyone needing lots of space and excellent reliability. I love the captains chairs in the middle row with the removable middle seat for easy access to the back row. And there is still plenty of storage space in the back for all your stuff.

Ella C on February 13, 2021

It is very affordable because gas mileage and care has been a very minimum.

I like all the room and that it has room for 8 people. Gas mileage is fair and has been low maintenance in repairs and care.

kim b on February 8, 2021

Toyota Siennas are dependable, reliable, and last a long time if taken care of maintenance-wise.

My Toyota Sienna is very dependable and reliable. It rarely ever needs repair beyond regular maintenance. It has great seating capacity and great cargo room. It is a versatile automobile.

Daphne A on February 7, 2021

Smooth rider, best wheels ride so smoothly!

I love this car because it rides smoothly, gasoline lasts and I use premium! Sits my family of 5 very comfortably and is overall the best vehicle I have owned.

Cindy A on February 6, 2021

The Toyota Sienna is a fantastic family vehicle.

Our family has been very pleased with our Toyota Sienna. We have had a couple of recall items on the van, but other than the recalls we have had no problems. Our van has been on several family vacations and it hold all four of our family members and also room for our two dogs and their cages. There is plenty of cargo area for suitcases and we also hang a bar up for hanging up our clothing. The interior of the van has held up very well and still looks pretty new. The exterior color is silver and it also looks new and does not show dirt, so car washes have been minimal. The gas mileage is great and we have a local mechanic service our vehicle to keep the costs low for repairs.

Tracy T on February 6, 2021

It has way over 100,000 miles and no signs of slowing down! Love it!

I like the power in the engine, but there are some definite blind spots that you need to be aware of and check more than once. I really like how much room it has, and that it's a Toyota so it's been extremely reliable, but the back captains chairs are pretty difficult to get out of the car. The middle seat that connects the captains chairs if necessary is genius, and we've used it many times. It's great we can put it away if necessary too. The van has a better turning radius than my husbands subaru, which is pretty funny!

frances b on February 5, 2021

It is a gray vehicle, minivan, sliding side doors with power windows. I am not happy with the recalls of the vehicle and taking too long for problem to be fixed. Overall, it keeps clean and runs great.

It runs great and cleans great and keeps me happy.

Lisa W on February 3, 2021

The large capacity for human, animals, or other stuff.

I love the room. It handles nicely. There are many cup holders which is a bonus.

Mike P on February 2, 2021

Good value minivan that lasts.

We really miss the speedometer and dashboard from our older 2008 sienna, but this van has served us well. We have few problems, just things like needing a new battery or tires. It gets good gas mileage, but road noise can be a little much. That may just be the tires we picked, and also due to the speakers needing to be replaced.

Jaclyn B on January 29, 2021

Toyota sienna van features and upgrades.

The front area is very spacious and I live how there are charging ports everywhere even in the back. Removing the 3rd seats for extra space only takes 5 min as well. The passenger side having a seat warmer is the best feature. These vans also have dual air conditioning controls which is fantastic cause I like my side warmer than my husbands. These are very nice and classy vans.

Susan P on January 28, 2021

Back up camera helps with parking.

No problems with reliability. Very reliable car. Big to park, but a great carpooling or travel vehicle.

Cheryl L on January 24, 2021

I can fit a lot of people comfortably and still have room for luggage or stuff.

Love my minivan, it provides lots of space for hauling stuff and groceries and people. I like sitting up high, not low like a sedan. I also like its size as I feel safer than driving a small car. I like the fact that the third set of seats do not have to be taken out to make more storage. They recess into the car itself. In my old van, you had to physically remove them and they were very heavy.

Wendy S on January 19, 2021

Love the sliding doors and that the seats flip down to make more room!

We love it for a family of 5! I should've got a minivan sooner! I never thought I would own one but so glad we bought a used one! Lots of room and very comfortable. The kids love the DVD feature! I really wish it had the automatic hatch but love the sliding side doors! It's a very smooth ride! It can get up and go when needed!

Jennifer R on January 18, 2021

Honesty I feel like I can pretty much do anything with it!

Removable 2 row middle seat, great for just my 3 kids or pop it in and they each can fit a friend in! Plenty of storage and room. Great gas mileage.

Convenient and roomy. Minivans are great family cars.

A lot of recalls have been made on the vehicle. I have had the car for a long time and my children are getting older. I no longer feel like I need a minivan. It is a great car for families. Convenient and roomy. 8 passengers so it fits kids and friends.
