2001 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.0L V6 from North America
Summary:
Overall, I love this car, and despite its problems it has proven reliable for me
Faults:
Driver's side power door top rail is a little broken.
Engine mounting bolts sheared off.
Had to replace wiring harness.
Battery and alternator alternate needing replaced.
Sediment in the gas tank.
Slight cosmetic and surface rust and other cosmetic damage.
Housing of driver's side tail light is broken.
VHS tape player's screen doesn't work when hot.
Speakers in the driver and passenger side doors rattle a lot.
The driver's side carpet is worn where my heel rests.
only like half the interior lights still work.
Power steering has started becoming intermittent.
Trouble starting when cold.
Driver's side power door handle is cracked.
Small cracks in the windshield.
AC no longer works.
General Comments:
Engine still sounds great when running.
The interior is the most comfortable of any car I've sat in.
Leather seats are still in good shape.
For a car that is so old and has so many miles, it still starts good, runs good, and feels good to drive.
Much of the exterior cosmetic damage and the windshield cracks were caused by ping pong ball sized hail.
I like the exterior and interior colors. I think all the different colors, textures, and materials match well and are well put together.
I've kept up on maintenance.
I'm going to keep this car as long as possible, and plan to use it as a daily driver and a road trip vehicle.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I was going to say that is quite a long list of problems, but looking at the mileage, it all seems reasonable even for Toyota.
