By James B. Bleeker
The following table provides some product information on the 2006 Toyota Sienna.
The 2006 Toyota Sienna Photographs The XLE Editions Distinction, Features, and Specifications
Distinctions: + The 2006 Toyota Sienna is a 2006 Consumer Reports quieter, more comfortable alternative to its Top Pick, the Honda Odyssey (more agile), and is a 2006 Consumer Reports Minivan Quick Pick. It has a CR 2006 predicted short-term reliability in the second highest category, one notch up from Honda Odyssey's 2006 predicted short-term reliability of average, something of a disaster for a Honda-engineered product. It has a CR 2006 predicted owner satisfaction in the highest category. It also has "Good" scores for front and side impact by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (but a score of "Poor" for rear impact), sufficient to place it third (immediately after the Odyssey) in the institute's safety ranking of minivans. The 2005 Toyota Sienna was a 2005 Consumer Reports owner satisfaction Quick Pick and a 2005 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Best Pick Frontal. Cautionary Remarks: + Relative to other Toyota products, the North-American-made Toyota Sienna has been notably unreliable; however, relative to Big Three-engineered products, the Toyota Sienna is notably reliable. (See Table I-MINCRP.) More precisely, the Sienna's 1997-2001 Reliability Percentrank average is .80, lower by .02 than Toyota's second lowest Reliability Percentrank average. (See Table I-MVRP.)
