I own this car - My approximate mileage is 160,000

Pros: "Very comfortable to ride and drive, quiet."

Cons: "Found out the catalithic converter cost a fortune"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"There is nothing real fancy about this Van. Just that it has been the most depenable auto I have ever had in 45 years. Only very minor repairs, battery, wiper blades, brakes and tires, actually just normal wear and tear items. No complaints in the 10 years I have owned it."

Best car I have ever owned

By Rodney (OR) on Thursday, June 06, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 270,000

Pros: "Excellent for family"

Cons: "Alternator replacement every 3 years"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Excellent car for family, hauling, long trips, soccer team. Good gas mileage. Comfortable to drive. Like the styling better that later models. Fantastic in snow country (where we drove it for most of it's life) with only all weather tire. Occasional chains in heavy snow(use Spike spiders!) Only downside was a new alternator every 3 years..no matter what brand, new or refurb. But this was a minor inconvenience given our overall satisfaction."

"i am the second owner of this van. very impressed with the way it handles and it rides like a car. currently have the seats down so it's like having a covered truck bed. have had a little issue with the battery, but believe that is all taken care of. i know everything that has ever been done to it, so i know it is a good vehicle."

Great mini van

By sgw (CA) on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 165,000

Pros: "You ride up high, you see more than a sedan"

Cons: "The rear vision is not the best"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This was a little disappointing from the Previa. I thought of the Previa as my rubber car. The Sienna was smaller. I had hoped that I would enjoy it as much. I do love sitting up high and I love the leather. I installed Satellite Radio and upgraded the speakers. The sliding doors do not work. You have to manually open them. But it is a great car with 165,000 miles on it."

reliable and comfortable

By bill (SC) on Thursday, April 25, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 190,000

Pros: "easy drive, easy ride"

Cons: "road noise is a bit loud"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I pulled a pop-up camper 10,000 miles and averages 20 mpg. On long trips in cruise control I have gotten as high as 27+. The advantage of this one over new ones is that the seats not used can be taken out and reduce the weight in the car. It is a great riding vehicle not bouncy like smaller cars. And you are high enough to see what is ahead of you. It has done everything I have needed to have done. I have done regular mainainance, oil change at 5000 and tire rotations."

I love my car.

By Pam (WA) on Thursday, April 11, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 78,000

Pros: "Sit up high, so easy to see out of, fun to drive."

Cons: "no cons"

"My mini-van is so easy to drive and comfortable to sit in. It seats 7, so I can fit most of my grandchildren in it. I taught 2 grandchildren to drive in it and they loved how well you could see out of it. It's easy to get in and out of because of the height. I love the running boards, also."
