- January 30, 2007, on Toyota Sienna Review:
We own a '98 sienna. No major issues, except some design flaws. For one example, passenger sliding doors jam when opening. Often times we keep a screwdriver as a means to open the jammed lock. Second, we noticed that the rear manual hatch release broke one day. apparently the plastic piece attached with a spring snapped off, so I had to replace it. Some positives about this sienna tho. No sludge problem (i.e. check engine light, blue smoke from the tail pipe etc.) Drivable through all kinds of weather conditions, and good for long trips and carrying some light loads and/or passengers. I doubt that I would consider anything else as of now, I have a 125,000 miles and the minivan is still going strong. I had considered the land cruiser before I purchased the Sienna. But because the land cruiser is a gas guzzler (standard 8 cylinder engine),and nearly $50,000, I didnt want to waste my money on a luxury SUV.
