2009 Toyota Sienna LE This Sienna comes with the 3.5L DOHC V6 making 266 HP while paired to a 5 speed auto. Just showing a bit how the previous generation Sienna had a much better interior.
Great review. The problem with newer vans is that they often come loaded with option packages, so that you are forced to pay for features you don't care for, just to get one feature that you want.
@2Kriss2Kross they're called optitrons by toyota...they were lexus-exclusive for a while but are now incorperated into a variety of toyota models its kinda neat.
78 degrees haha it hasn't been that cool for weeks where I live even for the overnight lows. Haven't seen rain for weeks either. Van looks decent it's better than the new ones
@Intechdude300 You could say that; but my dad had an 89 Accord that ran for over 200,000 miles, with ONLY oil changes. Didn't even give an engine light once. We sold it running new. I believe it was a DX model.
It's true that these Siennas have a better interior (and are just a better car), so much so that a Toyota dealership was offering to buy my friends family's Sienna because they are in higher demand than the 2011s.
@2Kriss2Kross They're Optitrons....Toyota used to use them Exclusively for the Lexus Brand but in recent times they've put then in Toyota models as well.....even the Yaris and Corolla have Optitrons.
I think what they're saying is that the 2011 Sienna is more aesthetically pleasing in terms of its layout, rather than quality. Because we all know those of us with new Toyota's (myself included), that the interior quality is shit. I've got a 2010 Venza and I've got more mismatched panels and gaps than I ever did on any domestic vehicle that I've owned. Still love my car, though. The old Sienna's interior was bland as hell, but it was better put together.
Can you do a 1997-2003 Sienna Generation I BTW? Then you'd have all 3 generations of Siennas. (: Do a 1990s Toyota Previa (predecessor to the Sienna) and you've got 'em all (:
what if the interior was all hard plastic but it was High-Grade plastic...would it be a low quality interior then for the sole reason it was hard plastic with no padding whatsoever?
Believe it or not. But if you need a car that gets great gas mileage even with lots of people. I'd get the 06-7 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. My uncle loads up so many people and gear in that car and still gets pretty good mileage. He does accelerate harsh too.
@talldude123 ve you not seen his video on the sedona? the dash is barely soft and everything else is cheap shit. this sienna is much much better. the current sedona still has a long way to go
@talldude123 Canadians care about the environment? I'm Canadian and I know for a fact that Canada is almost always ranked last or second last among industrialized western countries in terms on enviromental protection. The Harper oilsands agenda hasn't been helping us improve either.
I never liked the look of these, nor do I like the look of the new ones, I like the 1997-2003 ones, though. (Generation I was from 1997-2003, Generation II was from 2004-2010, and Generation III is from 2011-Present).
I still prefer my dads 1999 Toyota Sienna over this. The interior may be good quality but it's so damn boring. I kinda like this more than our old 04 odyssey tho. Can't match the 2011 in anyway tho.. I left this comment for half an hour and I'll explain what happened next...
