2005 Toyota Sienna AWD Review - 178,000 Miles Of Memories!

[@M67v]

So no one is going to mention the coolant gauge on H? Was it overheating or what

[@willdowns1745]

Looks like a bad thermostat at 2:43. Either that or the van's overheating

[@obedlataban]

Good observation!

[@damilolaakanni]

Hopefully it was just a faulty gague cluster and not a overheating problem.

[@Manuel-zt1dz]

My dad gave me his 06 Sienna xle 250k miles she drives like a dream

[@joskjj3625]

These siennas are tanks,I know two people with siennas over 200,000 miles trouble free

[@Boris275]

200,000 isnt much for a reasonable well maintained toyota. Talk about 400,000+ and then we are talking.

[@damilolaakanni]

I believe it was in this body style that Toyota switched to the 3.5 V6. Around 2006-2007. Don't know why anyone would need 268HP (in 2007) or 296HP (in 2020), but the 3.5 exists for that. At least this second gen is a huge improvement over the first. Fact: this sienna has only 15hp less than the 2021 sienna hybrid. Edit: I forgot to add, this is a very popular car in most parts of Africa, especially for road trips and family cars. It's even more popular than the Odyssey.

[@americawalk1154]

They say 2006 - 2008 sienna has transmission issues🤔

[@jaredbryant8297]

Don’t speak Ill about my beloved 1st gen sienna

[@FullTimeGT]

Great review! I own couple of vehicules, and one of them is a 2005 fwd Sienna, base model (CE). I bought it new in march 2005, and I still own it. It has 290000km (180000 miles), and it's running strong. Can surely double that milage easily. Only good things to say about it. I live in Canada (Montreal) and this vehicule is VERY reliable. Day after day, snow, freezing rain, hot summer, name it, the Sienna NEVER failed. Never. I bought a vehicule, and I received a Tank. And yes like you said this vehicule has a lot of memories, and thanks to you to raise that about high milage cars. New subscriber now :)

[@johnbradley5236]

What a kick ass interview I got a 2005 in 2007 and still have it in 2021. 3 kids 4 dogs and 2 hamsters rode back and forth and international. Towed job trailers & many boats. It's at 150k now and just keeps going. Ol' Faithful! And yes they all smell the same. My 2000 4Runner has the same smell.

[@andrewsmith6892]

I had a 2006 Toyota Sienna LE with 230k miles and it would take me anywhere. I had to sell it but dam…. It was a great car for me in high-school. Lots of room in the back without seats 🥵

[@thecarsectionthecarsection6420]

Xle limited awd trims gets you all the bells and whistles.

[@kwasia4882]

Definitely right! In terms of family carrier, the minivan will always be king

[@damilolaakanni]

I agree. I wonder why people go for SUVs (except off road driving, which most people will never do throughout their lives) over minivans. If you want a comparably practical SUV, you'll end up getting a Surburban or an Expedition Max for almost twice the price. And good luck trying to park those in your garage or on a busy street. Midsized SUVs are about the same size as minivans, but most of them will never be able to seat 7 or 8 comfortably with their stuff like a minivan does. It's great to see that a few brands are still committed to minivans while all the others have given up on the segment altogether.

you are soooo DEEP.... i just bought a used 04 and i see it very differently now after your video. thank you!

This is definitely my favorite car review channel by far.

[@christiancc15]

And yes I do know what you mean about the Toyota Smell. My mom has a 2010 Sienna so it’s very similar

[@LuckyFluke007]

These vans are bulletproof amazing vans

[@Spiritual_DriverAE101]

Got one same color you showed with with friends. 06 CE. Bought it with 200k now 210k no problems no mayor maintenance needed. Trans shifts great.

Your one of those only KZbinrs I watch as soon as I see ur vid I like this👍😏

[@ericyoung1478]

@The Sock Monkey! The best, in my opinion.

[@mustasheolll2020]

These are nice I actually prefer it over the 05 to 10 Odyssey

[@austinjacobhunter]

Love the nostalgia! Hoping to buy one in midnight blue with AWD in Alaska and driving back to Tennessee. She has 300k on her. Fingers crossed she makes it. #YotaTough

[@rotcataergeht]

Did she survive the trip?🤔

[@RobsNeighbor]

my 2006 fwd has 317k going strong best car ever !

[@Chuppe_g]

Why is every one selecting/choosing the 2006 over to the 2005

[@AdvaithKumar]

my family used have this car, it was lit, lasted us for like 10 years or so, and many trips but kept having issues and then we traded it in

[@joepearlzz8504]

What kind of issues?

[@AdvaithKumar]

@@joepearlzz8504 like a lot tire rotations issues, and of course the basic maintenance issues

[@joepearlzz8504]

@@AdvaithKumar doesn’t sound like issues, just normal normal maintenance and maybe bad cheap tires

[@CorollaChronicles]

Coincidentally, 2005 was the year I was born.

I've been looking to get one and then put a lift kit on it.

[@BenjaminHyink]

Mine has 263000 miles. My aunt and uncle owned it for 12 years and drove it from Fairbanks

[@Santi_fernandez-_-]

I Have one as a extra car, 160k miles and drives just like my 2018 rav4,

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

I'm surprised a 2005 came with a cassette player. I thought they were out by the late 1990s. Even my mother's 2003 Corolla came with an in-dash CD player, but it might have been part of an option package.

[@nasanierulastname2997]

My 2005 LE has cassette. I got an Onkyo cassette deck a few months back and recording songs to play in my Sienna is a lot of fun.

[@crazy-es8tr]

my family has own 7 different toyotas from this era and they all had THAT smell.

[@Chuppe_g]

Which smell please

[@crazy-es8tr]

@ you need to sit in a old Toyota to know what i mean, it’s undescribable

[@Exploringthevoid]

Hey brother, I am in the market for a sienna and I was wondering if you could guide me in terms of what mileage I should be buying it at, immediate / future repairs, what year etc.

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

Súper awesome video

Dude...what a review.

Fantastic reliable family car as always what do you expect from Toyota or Honda

Cool review 👍🏾

[@nfnauto285]

car was indicating on the dashboard about over heating, radiator system and fans failing

Never figured out why the front end on these can be different.

[@rubenmoranmora9427]

Cómo enciende la pantalla trasera?, es que la no enciende pero es 2006

[@tonykartracer8032]

180,000 miles is not 'high miles'............ not for a Toyota.

[@mofoblitz7482]

I helped my brother's roommate buy a 2006 one with exactly that mileage, it's beat up but she does not care lol

This or odyssey

[@jxmar_]

I would say this.. the odyssey doesn’t have AWD

[@brayden9060]

@@jxmar_ AWD isn't always needed. If you live somewhere that hardly gets any rain or snow, FWD is fine.

The Sienna. The Odyssey had more transmission issues than the Sienna.
