Alex Showalter
Nov 15, 2022

The 2017 Toyota Sienna lasts around 300,000 miles with only minor window gasket and stereo system software issues. At $21,425 to $28,475, it’s expensive, but worth it for the most reliable minivan on the market.

The cabin is as quiet as a luxury car, suspension is smooth and they’re more affordable to own long term than other minivans.

Steering is loose, the new transmission isn’t as smooth as the outgoing older model and the second row of seats has to be removed to use all of the cargo space.

For a several passenger this is it.
My vehicle is an eight passenger minivan. Although it is getting older I am still enjoying it. We do family trips and large group driving. The eighth seat is super small but seven seats are comfortable. The small seat is portable. So convenient. The sienna drives and rides like a car. It has several drink holders. Has lots of legroom in the front four seats. You can arrange the middle seat to give more leg room in the rear seat. The automatic back passenger doors open wide enough for individuals can load and unload for our convenience. The rear door opens to a small area or you can put the bench seat down for hauling large loads. We have used our vehicle as a covered truck many times. I would suggest our car to anyone with our circumstances.

2017 Toyota Sienna se great overall family vehicle.
I love the response of the engine, the reliability and the interior comfort. This is our second Sienna. We went with the se model this time instead of the xle. I did love the luxury features of the xle but the se is still a great trim. Very sporty looking which my husband loves. Handles great too. The seats slide on a track that is built into the floor for easy adjustments. The middle and rear seats recline way back nicely. The option of the 8th seat when needed is a great feature and stores nicely into a little cubby in the rear compartment. Of course the power doors and rear gate are one of my favorites. Along with the rubber floor mats. I will say, Toyota either needs to make a manual on which mat goes where because it is a ridiculous puzzle to figure out or label the back of them as to where they go, but just having them covering the carpet is great with kids. The scout GPS feature which is an app that runs off your phone and with the vehicle is worthless. Very poor technology for such an advanced company. But other then that, I love the vehicle overall.

My Toyota sienna rocks, I have driven this vehicle all over the United States!
I love the comfort, my entire family feels good on long trips. I have driven it through all types of weather and it performs great. I enjoy the automatic door feature and the airbag safety. When I get into my vehicle, there is a place for my purse and my drink. My passengers have many places to charge their phones or their other devices. Also, the 8 seats are awesome. We always have extra family and friends.

It is spacious and it is with gas.
I have a Toyota sienna 2017 XLE and I do not like it because it has a lot of problems. The automatic doors constantly get stuck and break I have had to fix them multiple times. I got this car and is the worst purchase I have ever made. I hate this car. I can take it to the dealership multiple times a month to get things fixed because it is the worst car I have ever owned. I am never going to buy a car like this again it is just so terrible. The Bluetooth does not work. And the windows always stop when I try to scroll up and down.

Cheaply made Toyota needs to be upgraded for cost.
Not comfortable and seems cheaply made. Also the leather is already peeling and it is missing wireless charging and other wanted items. The TV screen needed to be installed because it didn't come with it and it is a very cheap make and model of material, the digital/radio package is not always user-friendly to operate and there are no charging ports in the backseat of the car.

2017 Toyota sienna XLE limited AWD - great family vehicle!
I purchased this vehicle because I was expecting my first child and looking for a minivan to accommodate a growing family. Overall, it has its pros and cons. One huge issue I encountered was that at 11,000 miles, the transmission was whining and needed to be replaced which was covered under warranty. Also, the captain seats in the middle row are slightly uncomfortable, as the seatbelts are always cutting into my neck even after being adjusted. Third, we have the AWD trim and the run flats tires only last for up to 20k miles which would then need replacing and a replacement can cost up to $1200. When my daughter was a newbies, as a mom one feature I wish was an option, was the capability for one of the seats to slide to the middle to be closer to my baby while in transit. Also, although we love the DVD player, the 2017 model does not have Wi-Fi capability like the later year models do. A few wonderful features of this vehicle is that specifically the aesthetics of the XLE limited edition AWD in pearl white with chestnut interior is very sleek looking. Also, if you have younger children, this is a wonderful spacious minivan with a built-in DVD player that has helped us survive many road trips with a restless toddler and her growing collection of stuffed animals. The front seats and steering wheel have a warming option which makes this car very comfortable in the cold winter months or for a road trip to the snow. This car is a great family van for kids of all ages. The automatic sliding doors are perfect for parents who need all hands on deck when running errands and doing all day activities with the family. We feel very safe in this car. It is very easy to clean, and car seat attachment is straightforward. Overall, this year and model is a good option for a growing family.

I love the space of the Toyota sienna in the first two rows. The third row could use some extra space. Do not love that the backseat air controls are high on the ceiling and not on the middle console where kids could reach them and make the adjustments.

My sienna and the perks of a minivan.
Love the comfort inside and roominess. It is more my dealership I have issues with not so much the vehicle itself. The van drives very smooth, love that I can speak to the third row. There is a ton of room in trunk. The seats go down which is very helpful and the number of cup holders is perfect.

What Do Critics Say About the Toyota Sienna?

  • Consumer Reports says the Sienna is a very rational long-lasting choice with high owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds rates the Sienna at 3.8/5, praising the comfortable suspension, but doesn’t like that the second row of seats has to be removed.
  • Kelley Blue Book users give the Sienna a 4.4/5 enjoying the powerful V6 engine, but owners don’t like the lack of technology.

What Common Problems Does the 2017 Toyota Sienna Have?

Common problems found on the 2017 Toyota Sienna include window gasket failures, frozen stereo systems, as well as excessive oil consumption. Overall, these problems are minor compared to other minivans, leading to lower repair costs as well.

Window gasket failures are the most widespread complaint from owners in the first 35,000 miles. The gasket on the driver’s side window tends to wear out quicker than in other vehicles, and has to be replaced. Changing out the gasket costs around $125, depending on local labor rates.

Frozen stereo systems have also been reported by owners in the first 10,000 miles. There are some software bugs which can cause the stereo system to freeze up while it’s being used. Most dealerships are willing to update the software for free which fixes the problem, while others may charge up to $50.

Excessive oil consumption is another problem some owners have mentioned in the first 1,000 miles. Toyota engines tend to consume more oil than other brands as a way of protecting engine components from wear and tear. Simply checking your oil regularly and topping it off as needed is the best way to solve the issue.

There are 9 recalls on the Toyota Sienna, which is worse than some other minivans from 2017. The most serious recall is for the fuel pump, which may fail. Toyota will replace the fuel pump assembly on affected models for free. Another important recall is for the rear brake hoses which are slightly too short, but it only affects 303 vans. Most of the other recalls are for labels and tire inflation issues, which are much less serious.

How Long Will the 2017 Toyota Sienna Last?

A well-maintained 2017 Toyota Sienna lasts around 300,000 miles, which is about 50,000 miles longer than the highly-rated Honda Odyssey. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other minivans, according to data from Repair Pal, at $522 per year.

As the 2017 Toyota Sienna reaches 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the blower motor resistor for $250, the oxygen sensor costing $350, as well as the suspension ball joints, which cost $250.

accountCircle Chad L

accountCircle Edith W

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is very good with a standard 6.1-inch touchscreen stereo system, while a larger 7-inch touchscreen is available as an optional upgrade, unfortunately without Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. Safety technology is also excellent, offering a standard rearview camera. Optional safety features include frontal crash warning, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control.

Is the 2017 Toyota Sienna a Good Value?

Yes, the 2017 Toyota Sienna is a great value since it’s extremely reliable and doesn’t depreciate quickly. Blue book prices range from $21,800 to $28,750, making it more expensive than a Nissan Quest or Kia Sedona. When new, the price range was $29,705 to $47,310.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The third generation of the Toyota Sienna came out in 2011, and it was replaced by the fourth generation in 2021.

2015: Suspension improvements, upgraded interior materials, and minor exterior styling changes.

2016: Siri Eyes Free added to all Sienna models.

2017: New 8-speed automatic transmission and improved V6 engine.

2018: Rear USB ports added, Toyota Safety Sense technology standard on all models.

How Does the Toyota Sienna Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Sienna is the best minivan of 2017 since it offers excellent reliability ratings, great safety tech, along with an upscale interior.

The Honda Odyssey is a competitor which costs about $2,000 less. Where the Honda Odyssey stands out is with more responsive steering, while the Toyota Sienna has better reliability ratings. We recommend the Toyota Sienna for most buyers, although both are excellent minivans at the top of the class.

The Chrysler Pacifica is another minivan, which is about $5,000 cheaper. Interior materials are more luxurious in the Chrysler Pacifica, while safety technology is better in the Toyota Sienna. We recommend the Toyota Sienna since it’s a more reliable choice with lower ownership costs.

The van has lots of space. It needs charging station on each row of seats.
Vehicle is a van. It is roomy and fits my family well. My grandkids fit well in all seats and they are all 5'9' tall or taller. I get good gas mileage when traveling on long trips and good mileage at home. I get regular oil changes and tire rotation. Using a Toyota store for maintenance helps with the car performance. I have had my car for 3 years and regular maintenance issues is the only problem I have had. One thing I would want my van to have is more outlet to charge cell phones and tablets. The van has only charging outlet which is in the front of the vehicle. This is a problem when everyone in the van has a device. I like the space in the trunk.

Sienna is a really reliable family vehicle. But, the take off acceleration is less powerful, something while in motion you can feel the gear shift. The interior and suspension are very comfortable. It also has good feature like navigation, Bluetooth, backup camera, and good sound system.

The best dang van in the road!
I absolutely love this van. Smooth comfy ride. Enough room for the whole family with its 3rd row seating, which seats 7 by the way. It's the best vehicle I've ever owned. I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I would definitely recommend this van to anyone and everyone. To be honest I already do. I have recommended this vehicle to everyone.

Great for traveling. Comfortable seating with lots of storage room.
Roomy and comfortable. Lots of good storage space. The only problem is when you are sitting in the 2nd row seats the seatbelt is hard to reach. Especially for kids. It also gets stuck on the armrest if the armrest is up. Comfortable for traveling bit would like it if the 2nd row seats recline more.

The BEST purchase you'll make as an adult
The Sienna has been a game changer for our family. The front space is large and spacious for both the driver and the passenger. The dual control air/heat component allows both driver and passenger to be comfortable! There is a sunroof that I love and of course, the heated seats. The center console provides a ton of storage space without being bulky. The Blu-ray player is an added bonus! The van comes with 2 headsets for the back seat passengers to watch movies and still allow others to listen to music! The sliding doors allow peace of mind to know that my kids won't damage anyone else car when they open their car door. The 3rd row seating option is great and we have used it several times. When it is not in use, we flatten it which allows for a huge 'truck' space. I can't recommend this vehicle enough for a busy family looking for comfort on car rides!

Roomy and comfortable vehicle with a the tech.
The vehicle is roomy and comfortable. Seating is easily moved to free up spaced or transporting large items as needed. Plenty of power and surprisingly so for a minivan. Technology is easy to use and keeps the kids busy on long drives. Dual screen on the entertainment system works well though the headphones are hit or miss with the kids.

Sienna is a reliable, safe, family friendly car with lots of space.
Best vehicle I have ever bought. I call it my transformer because there are so many options to move the seating for the amount of space in the car. I have four kids and the eighth seat (removable) is great, especially when I am carting around their friends. The power in the car is really good especially when I drive through the mountains. The turning radius is better than most cars I have driven in the past. My van is rated very highly when it comes to safety. I will definitely be buying Toyota products in the future.

It's very spacious but still not too big
It's really comfortable especially if you are very tall and have a large family it's perfect for road trips and has more than enough wiggle room for everyone to sit comfortably. It's also great for sleeping in and just sitting around in this car a long drive feels like a breeze

Literally the best car for a busy mom.
I love my Toyota sienna! The sliding doors are great for morning drop offs at school and the space is amazing! I highly recommend to any moms. I can fit all my kids, groceries, a double and single stroller all without batting an eye. It is reliability and tech has also been amazing!

2017 Toyota sienna XLE limited AWD - great family vehicle!
I purchased this vehicle because I was expecting my first child and looking for a minivan to accommodate a growing family. Overall, it has its pros and cons. One huge issue I encountered was that at 11,000 miles, the transmission was whining and needed to be replaced which was covered under warranty. Also, the captain seats in the middle row are slightly uncomfortable, as the seatbelts are always cutting into my neck even after being adjusted. Third, we have the AWD trim and the run flats tires only last for up to 20k miles which would then need replacing and a replacement can cost up to $1200. When my daughter was a newbies, as a mom one feature I wish was an option, was the capability for one of the seats to slide to the middle to be closer to my baby while in transit. Also, although we love the DVD player, the 2017 model does not have Wi-Fi capability like the later year models do. A few wonderful features of this vehicle is that specifically the aesthetics of the XLE limited edition AWD in pearl white with chestnut interior is very sleek looking. Also, if you have younger children, this is a wonderful spacious minivan with a built-in DVD player that has helped us survive many road trips with a restless toddler and her growing collection of stuffed animals. The front seats and steering wheel have a warming option which makes this car very comfortable in the cold winter months or for a road trip to the snow. This car is a great family van for kids of all ages. The automatic sliding doors are perfect for parents who need all hands on deck when running errands and doing all day activities with the family. We feel very safe in this car. It is very easy to clean, and car seat attachment is straightforward. Overall, this year and model is a good option for a growing family.

Great family car, very reliable.
This car is very trustworthy, great for bigger families with the double back seats, nice sliding doors and very reliable. The drives great and has a lot of room in the trunk. Even with twin toddlers and two car seats we still have plenty of room to bring along groceries and a double stroller.

Love the heated seats and AWD. And navigation.
I live the AWD and heated seats. Very spacious. Handles well in the snow.! Great auto care program. I like the color and leather seats. No issues with car. I do not like the headrest. I would recommend the red color. Large space in the back for groceries.

Very spacious and comfortable minivan. Great for a family with toddlers.
Very comfortable. There is so much room and space, especially for a family of four, including two toddlers and all the things that come with them. We travel a few times in the year, and I have plenty of room for packing all the vacation items we need. The sliding doors are very convenient for loading and unloading the kids into their car seats, especially in packed parking lots.

Room for 8 AND all of your coolers/sports gear, etc!
I LOVE my Toyota Sienna. It is roomy inside and for our sports driven family this is great for carrying gear or players! I don't like some of the blind spots it has when I drive and it feels wide even though I know it is not physically wider than my old van.

It is a mini van that has lots of storage spaces which is always plus for parents with kids.
I like my vehicle because there is lots of space to put stuff. It is also roomy and comfortable. I like the color of my car which is classy red. However I do not like color of interior which is light grey.

Great ride for an on the go family.
This is the second sienna I have owned and we absolutely love it. We are an on the go family and the sienna gives us a lot of space and flexibility to haul the kids and dog back and forth around town. It is also very comfortable and rides very smoothly.
