We just got a Sienna after watching your initial video. I can’t wait for a video on accessories!

[@adrienchan2097]

Wow wait list still going on. I ordered my 22 sienna limited in Oct 21 and got it may 22. Worth the wait. Love it

[@ItsAllCulturalMarxism]

Waiting for mine to arrive to the dealer. These videos helped before buying. Much appreciated!

[@Elterricola077]

Thank you for the quick review

[@mommyof2and4]

I've watched tons of reviews for the Sienna, this review was the most thorough and knowledgeable review yet.

[@tylermillercoach]

I am really wanting a Sienna for our next vehicle but my wife is anti minivan. I'm going to send her this video so hopefully you can change her mind....

[@AbuNizar19]

The main reason for me buying Sienna, because Sienna created by Toyota, and Toyota is a trusted name when you hear it.

[@kalok6231]

I appreciate that you included true cons that are applicable to every day people and their average use for the features in this car! It drives me crazy that Toyota still hasn't done something wireless for the Android Auto/Apple connections!

[@yazars]

3:17 We're still on the market for a minivan, and something we didn't like about the Sienna is how there's 1-2 fewer inches of headroom getting in to the second row from the part of the ceiling that dips down. It's tough for gas savings for a Sienna to really add up compared to a cheaper V6 minivan. For our driving, we'd save at most $500-750 per year, but if we're spending $5000-10000 more per year upfront, interest on $10000 per year would approximately pay for the difference. So the hybrid benefit would be greater if someone were willing to pay more to be kinder to the environment.

Thanks for sharing

[@Thisorganizedmother]

Love my 2019 sienna! We wanted to get a newer hybrid but the wait list was impossible at the time.

[@kevin-lu]

Yeah the waitlist is still fairly long still! I waited 18 months for ours.

[@HelloHappyMom]

Hi there! Love the video! super helpful! I was wondering what trim level you have?

[@kevin-lu]

I have the XSE trim.

[@AnrewLivingston]

I have '23 XSE, do you experience a whistling wind noise from the front windows?

[@Jallelab99141]

2024 model should have Toyota safety sense 3.0 by now.

[@Aa-ji2yf]

It doesn’t? What does it have.

[@Jallelab99141]

@@Aa-ji2yf TSS 2.0 on the 2024 Sienna, despite Toyota having 2.5, 2.5+, and even 3.0 out already for other cars.

[@AileenTownsend]

I appreciated this review! I've read that the engine noise (esp during acceleration) and outside road noise can be quite loud. How do you feel about that?

[@Jiggysaw]

I never thought I would see 32+mpg on a large vehicle like the Sienna, I had a 1991 Mazda Protege with like 100hp and it didn't come close to that!

[@nige]

I have a RAV4 and my only gripe is the lack of storage space. I want great mileage and lots of room. I sued to have an Avalon and I miss the extra space. I might get a mini van, but with the tech pkg. hopefully 2025 has the wireless car play.

[@fediz4892]

Love my 2024 Sienna XSE. I’m getting 40.7 mpg in the city.

[@kevin-lu]

That’s some excellent mpg! My driving habits aren’t as good getting 33-35mpg on average.

[@somespaceone]

Got a deposit on an XSE! I am excited! Just one question, how is the overall road noise when driving? I had many people telling me to wait for the Limited as supposedly there's some massive difference in noise reduction on it.

[@kevin-lu]

Wind/road noise is a weird one. I never thought it was particularly loud, but after reading about it I do notice it’s not exactly a quiet ride. Most of the time I have music or audiobooks playing so for the most part doesn’t bother me. Definitely more noticeable going 70+ on a freeway.

[@soxandbears]

that eco-meter (no idea what it's actually called)...i'd treat it like a video game to get max mpg

[@kevin-lu]

I do the same thing 😅, but then my wife complains that I’m driving too slow.

[@Geecomp3]

Hi Thanks for the video Can you share the make of that usb dvd drive? Thanks

[@kevin-lu]

[@tanny0543]

Sienna fit my family The price doesn't

[@ellerybice3787]

If only the rear seats folded into the floor like the seats in the Caravan do, I would then switch to a Sienna.

[@chowchow3335]

great van. Adult riding in the third row is not fun though, I got car sick one time when I popped into the third row of my friend's Sienna

[@kevin-lu]

The motion back there is more pronounced. I sat in one a few times 3rd row on Uber rides for work and I had to stop using my phone when riding or I’d get car sick.

[@surfside75]

Strange as I just love riding in the back being drive around feeling like an exec.😅

[@techieg33k]

I'm still very interested in getting a 2024 LE (need the 8 seats)

[@kevin-lu]

The XLE also has an 8 seat option, but majority I've seen seem to be 7 seat. I find it odd that not all trim levels can have 8 seats.

[@alexmassengale433]

@@kevin-lu I really wish they let you do 8 seats in all trims for a people mover. Honda and Kia have 8 seat options for top trims. For my family the two place middle seat just doesn't work well. It is a bummer because I like to get lots of features and otherwise this car in limited trim would be perfect (presuming you could find one without a big markup). Hopefully for 2025 they fix that. A removable middle seat seems like the perfect way to do it for a minivan.

[@normanfeliciano1089]

Can you put a middle seat in the xse trim like the le which is removable?

[@kevin-lu]

8 seat is only available for the LE or XLE. No option the middle 8th seat for the XSE. There’s no mounting area in the XSE trim to put the middle seat.

[@KhanMan847]

Which leather case do you have on your iPhone 15 pro?

[@kevin-lu]

It’s the Andar Aspen Camel Tan

[@GhostBoca]

Hi from south florida. Did you fit 8 adult people in the van? Ty Pedro

[@kevin-lu]

Our XSE is a 7 seater. Most I’ve fit is 5 adults and two children in car seats in 2nd row.

[@4Lights.5Liights]

No mention about front seat comfort?

[@h20g1rl6]

Just bought a Sienna Limited BECAUSE it was only one of three seats that ‘fit’ me. Other seats either had thigh bolsters that made my SI joints move (I have very loose joints & use a cushion my PT gave me to lift up a bit so bolsters don’t squish me) or did not allow me to site with 90 degrees at knees & hips (I have to tilt seat back a little but it works.) The other two seats were from the Ford 150 Platinum (excellent seat!) and Ford Explorer (it was a higher trim level), but I don’t want a truck & the Explorer’s windshield is set in a way that I felt like I was wearing a hat & couldn’t see as much road as I can in the Sienna. I went to 13 dealerships & only 3 vehicles were comfortable. My husband thinks both the front seats and the captains chairs middle row are very comfortable… and we love that the front seats both heat and can cool. I’m 5’10” & husband is 6’2”.

[@nwsvndr]

What are the "3 seats" that you mention? The XSE and LE versus the Limited? Does yours have the true leather? The lumbar support is what I need.@@h20g1rl6

[@pedropuckerstein4670]

I agree with everything you said and my 2023 Platinum is better, much better than any of my previous 4 Chrysler minivans/ there is no competition now- Honda with its rubber timing belt van is a no go, Chrysler is now crap. And Hyundais don’t last - sure the Sienna is not perfect - but is the best

[@alexmassengale433]

Is the timing belt that big a deal? In my area all the Toyotas are on big markups while the Hondas are on discount. Even with gas prices and a timing belt change, you may never make up that initial cost difference. An Odyssey Elite can be had for something like $10 grand less than a Sienna Platinum and a base Odyssey about $8 grand cheaper than what dealers are actually selling an LE Sienna for.

[@pedropuckerstein4670]

Depends on your pov. I also have 3 Hondas, just had the valves adjusted on my 4cyl accord. Do what feels comfortable for your needs. In warm weather in nj I get over 42 MPG with Sienna hybrid. Both brands are reliable- my last CRV lasted over 300K miles. I just won’t buy a rubber belt engine anymore - had them on my VWs

[@zedrico8577]

Wait no Bluetooth for the androids auto?

[@keishareis]

There should be

[@kevin-lu]

You can use bluetooth to play audio to the car but if you want Android Auto features to show up on the screen it needs to be plugged in or use an adapter for wireless Android Auto.

[@wawawho18_adventures]

van life....oh how we have changed...lol

[@kevin-lu]

Life has changed quite a bit 😂

[@danhnguyen2381]

Toyota Sienna has low ground clearance. That the only thing I am worried about this Sienna because small roads in Toronto have speed bumps and potholes . If Toyota raises this ground clearance, I will buy it.

[@abrahamg4005]

Look at the woodlands edition Sienna, it does have better ground clearance than the other trims

[@yzlrelax1]

@@abrahamg4005Canada doesn’t have that edition

[@peterlee5338]

Yea, same here, this is the first thing I noticed, the front bumper will be plowing snow in a winter storm, also have you noticed?, there's no back bumper, any car who rear-end this van will damage the rear trunk lift gate instantly

[@LoneWolfSparty]

​@@yzlrelax1they don't but the suspension is available as an option.

[@m4st3rm1nd9]

Minivans are not built for road clearance. Buy a SUV like Grand Highlander instead.

[@rob4750]

I think I will go odyssey but will test drive a few.

[@kevin-lu]

Always a good idea yo test drive to see how you like the feel of everything.

[@pedropuckerstein4670]

As long as you are aware it has a rubber timing belt - I own three Hondas and a Sienna - crv and two manual transmission Accords - Toyota imho is higher quality

[@modernsoccer1860]

It doesn't, was not impressed with the hybrid transmission, it did not sound good compared to their old 6 cylinders
