ProsThe only reason, besides hauling a lot of crap, is the engine. ConsIt's a mini-van. And when it gets up to 8+ years, it wants all of your money.

Great Engine, Bad Vessel. — Let's get it out of the way...its a mini-van. That said, one of the most powerful engines available in van. This thing will outpace a lot of other cars on the road. Engine is supposed to last for 200k miles at least. Shame the rest of the car doesn't want to. Pieces of the trim and electrical functions like to fall off...a lot. Primary Use: Family transportation

1998 Toyota Sienna — I love that it has enough room for our big family. and also we just love toyota for it's great reputation. It handles great tight steering. Only needed regular maintence. We also love the 4 captin chairs. The second sliding door is great no fighting over who gets the window seat either there are plenty to go around. The only problem is the rear window has broken twice already and it's $400. because of the privacy glass. I would def recommend this kind of van for anyone with a growing family. The newer ones the rear windows go down!!!! Wish mine did that LOL | ||

ProsReliability. Durability. Long distance driving comfort. Quiet. Visibility. ConsExterior handles on rear hatch and sliding door broke and driver's side window motor failed at 13 years. All were easy to replace and parts were avaiable.

At At Over 185,000 Miles Its Still Better Than Many New Vehicles I Have Tried! — I bought this van used with over 100K miles. While the interior showed the ravages of spilled soda and a Schnauzer, the mechanicals were fine. Exterior has held up under the tropical sun without fade. Highway mpg is 22 to 25 ( which I have tracked for 6 years) and 19 to 21 around town. The previous owners had a history report and they explained an A/C problem that the dealership never successfully addressed. I used BRAKE CLEANER to saturate the A/C compressor clutch surfaces (cost $2.18) and it has performed without exception for years. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

ProsFor a mini-van, the 28mpg fuel economy is very reasonable, very comfortable, reliable. ConsHigh-sided, so it tends to blow around some in high wind.

Typical Toyota Reliability, Safety And Quality — Nearly 300k kms and still running very strong. Removable seats and a factory installed tow-package make this a great fully-enclosed truck. So far, it has only needed an alternator, two inner tie-rods and regular maintenance in two years of ownership. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||
