I bought it new and put almost 40,000 miles on it without issue save for 1 recall, IIRC.

 

Sorry to hear about the health challenges

 

 

Thanks so much - it sucks to get old!

 

Like my Dad always said, its better than the alternative!

 

Former coworker of mine just picked up a 2021 Sienna LE AWD. He was originally looking at the VW Atlas but couldn't make the numbers work. He went to look at the Sienna and had a much easier time. He seems to be absolutely in love with it.

 

While my 2018 Odyssey is in for its 4th, 5th, and 6th recall, swapping out of it doesn't seem so bad at the moment.

 

Have you had a lot of issues with yours?

 

Nothing major, just little things here and there (like all these recalls). The car itself is still solid as a workhorse. I am jealous of the 36 combined in the Sienna though. I'm getting 21/22 in the Ody

 

I have a feeling once you stepped on it in the mountains with it fully loaded you wouldn't be jealous anymore lol

 

Haha true. Not too many big mountains in NJ though. I might try to stop by a Toyota dealer next week if they have stock.

 

I'm sure it'll be fine in the mountains. I haven't heard Pacifica Hybrid drivers complaining, so I see no reason why the Sienna Hybrid would be different. I drove an older Sienna with I think 210 or 220 hp in the mountains, fully loaded up, without any issues.

 

Sienna hybrid is a 2.5L 4 banger. Pacifica Hybrid has a 3.6L V6 for when you need that extra grunt

 

I know you asked TriC about his 2016 sienna, but my 2011 sienna se (first year model) had served me well when I sold it in the summer at 144k. No major issues beside 2 warranty claim for an intermediate drive-shaft clunk and the overhead console button to open 1 of the sliding door.

If I were in the market for another minivan, I would love to pick up this new Sienna

 

My brother owns a Sienna is on his second (and a Palisade) First Sienna was a 2004.

I will admit I was a little taken back when Toyota announced it was gonna be all hybrid.
