I love my Sienna! I am a mother of four rough and tumble boys. We run around all year to soccer, water polo, and every sport in between. It gets very very dirty, but cleans up nicely every Thursday, when I take it to the car wash. The best part is that we have put over 140000 miles on our van and haven't had to do anything but regular scheduled maintenance. We have driven it cross country several times. I am always confident when leaving the state that I'll be safe from break downs. The driver's seat is very comfortable and adjustable. It's comfortable and easy to maneuver. The turning radius is great. It's easy to park and get where I need to go. It is also surprisingly fast. A lot of other vans feel like they are struggling to get up to speed when you enter the freeway. My van doesn't have any trouble getting up to speed.

My '99 Toyota Sienna has been extremely dependable. At 20 years of age, I still drive it cross country without hesitation. Other than normal wear and tear, I've never had any significant issues since buying it five years ago. What little maintenance is required is inexpensive, and the parts are easy to find. Being a minivan, it has lots of space inside, but it drives just like a car and far superior to most SUVs. It may not be sexy, but it does the job, and I don't have to make car payments! The acceleration leaves a lot to be desired, but not many people buy minivans for speed and power, so that isn't a big issue for me. One other minor complaint, however, is the door handles, and I mean all of them, interior and exterior, are either manufactured with brittle plastic or have design flaws, because I've had to replace almost all of them, several times each. That means not only were the factory original handles poor quality, but so were the Toyota brand and generic replacements. That boggles the mind. Seems like Toyota would have noticed and corrected that. Siennas are very common so I'm sure they were aware. That being said, I would rather have embarrassingly weak door handles and a weak motor than a poor transmission or faulty motor, so those are minor issues overall in my opinion. Other than those things, I highly recommend Toyota Siennas if you have a family and need a cheap used vehicle.
