1998 Toyota Sienna XLE review from North America
"A lemon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine needed rebuilt in 30,000 because of the oil sludge which I change the oil every 3,000 miles or 3 months I sold it in 2000 and I bought the 97 previa LE supercharged with 40,000 miles on it now it has 90,000 with no problems just oil change Go with the Previa not the sienna.
