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

[@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.

[@M67v]

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

[@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.

[@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 🥵

[@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

[@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 :)

[@mustasheolll2020]

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

[@Manuel-zt1dz]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@puregsr]

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

[@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?🤔

[@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.

[@Santi_fernandez-_-]

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

[@BenjaminHyink]

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

[@LuckyFluke007]

These vans are bulletproof amazing vans

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

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.

[@simoneffendi3685]

You are so eloquent with all your comments! Thanks for such a great review, Zack!

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

[@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

Súper awesome video

[@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.

[@daddyk5023]

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

[@nfnauto285]

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

[@crazy-es8tr]

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

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

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