2021 Toyota Sienna Tour From a Moms Perspective

- Thanks for tuning into my first official TH-cam Video.
A little back story.. In June of 2020 I wanted to sell more cars to make some extra income. I started a blog on Instagram called @the_car_mom and I started reviewing cars from a moms perspective. As a mom of a toddler and another on the way I realized there was such a hole in the market for car reviews for families. So @the_car_mom was born! In a few short months, my account grew so quickly it was hard to keep up with. The week before my daughter was born I finally hit 10k followers and had to stop touring cars. I was so excited she was here but it was so hard to walk away from what I had built. Well to my surprise, my account kept growing and now, 5 weeks into my maternity leave I just hit 25k followers.
I have BIG goals for 2021 and one of them is starting on TH-cam. This was my first time filming and editing a video solo. It was also the first time I left my daughter. I was sleep deprived, nervous and rusty. Basically, what I am saying is, this is not the quality of video I wanted to put out. But I read a quote that really stuck with me.. "It's either one day or day one". So consider this day one of The Car Mom on TH-cam. The best is still to come.

Father of 2 here. Showed this to my wife and she said this is how videos should be for all suvs and mini vans.
love to hear it! thanks for watching
I'm so grateful for a van review WITH a real carseat in it!
Its 2023 and I found this review shopping for used 21. And I must say, I love your glow up! This was still very informative for helping me narrow down my future van options.
Day one CHECK!!! So great!! So much amazing info, loved it!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for putting the seats down in heels, now I know it’s as easy as the big dudes doing car videos say. This was so much more useful to me than any of their videos.
hahha so glad it was helpful!
Those are nice toe cap shoes
I love watching your content. I was looking at the.Sienna today online. They don't seem to have those huge sunroofs some of the other minivans have. We just rented a Pacifica for a couple days and the 3 panel sunroof was amazing. Would love to see a tour of the new Pacifica, especially the plug in hybrid one!
Wow! Great job for your 1st time! This is such a thorough video! I'm so happy you're on TH-cam now! 😄
Thank you so much!!
The front hood gives me pt cruiser vibes.
This was my exact thought!
100k subs and this started it all! Well done, Kelly!
Love the tour! Great job! I like the side of it but the front is very...intense. The features are great! It’s a little pricey but I get that you’re paying for the hybrid and the all wheel drive!
Would love to see the Honda Odyssey, well all the minivans out there really!
This lady knows his cars, love how she was able to see the lexus DNA on this van
Love your videos!! I’m a mom of 3 under 5 years old. I need a car to fit 3 big car seats. Atlas. 4Runner. Highlander. Ford Escape are the cars I’m thinking of. Thx for the reviews, keep doing what you’re doing, it’s so helpful!!!
I am loving this mom van! 😍
So glad!
Wooo! Congrats on day 1!
Thank you!!
Thank you this has me thinking about possibly getting a van now 😂😂😂. Can you do the Durango next?
GREAT info! You did awesome! Day 1 ❤️
Thanks so much!!
Love it! Thank you!
Love your videos!!! ❤️
Thank you!!
Great quick overview , if you get a chance could you show the power rear quarter windows as they are great for car sick kids thks.
Would LOVE to see a 2011-2020 body style of Sienna reviewed as well for comparison. Love your insights!
This van is growing on me.
There is so much stigma about driving a minivan it is unreal :( But the reality is we are a family of 6, with 4 kiddies under the age of 7. We just went from a Nissan Rogue to the Sienna 2021, and it's like moving from a 2 bedroom Manhattan apartment to a 6 bedroom house in the suburbs. The space is just unreal. The hybrid is awesome around town, and even on highways it still hauls ass. I've had no problem over-taking cars. But I think the biggest surprise for us was the turning radius. This thing can do a full u turn miles better and tighter than our rogue. I'd love to see you do actual test drives of cars though, not just interior walkthroughs and actually share what the drive is like.
This is so good to read! We are currently looking to switch to a 2021 Sienna from our Rogue.
We went 12 years with 2 minivans years ago!! Best vehicle period. Now just the 2 of us and we’ve been leasing a pickup. Maybe this is in our future!!!
Any problems yet?
@@elegantflower6490 No nothing at all :) Car drives like a breeze.
@@elegantflower6490 Toyota nickname is reliability for a reason. My brother have a 2006 sienna that have a engine light on since 2016. And he never got it fixed and it's still driving perfect on the road
Can you do a review of the new sienna with the 8 passenger and three car seats?
Good insight on the seatbelt being on the seat to help car seats
thats what Im here for!
Just found your channel liking the videos for sure. We have a 2015 sienna and I hate the front seats find them super uncomfortable and to they are too small. Have they changed them at all?
good stuff! loooove it!
Appreciate it!
Day one ! ❤️
Can you compare the 4Runner vs Highlander for us please?
Just watched and I am impressed! Sitting in preschool drip off I envy the mini vans, I only have 2 kids so it's not crucial, so after sitting in one we opted for a 3rd row SUV...but if I had 3 kids this would be an awesome option! It seems all cars have a dark brown leather for their highest trim levels and I am just not a huge fan.
Can the middle seat in the third row be used for car seats using the seatbelt since it comes from the top?
I heard that the parts for the vacuum and the refrigerator were not available at
production time, maybe later this year or on the 22s,
Covid shortages I guess.
When you said 18 cup holders I have never wanted a minivan more in my life. There are only 3 of us in my family and still never enough cup holders.
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
It’s great that Chrysler now offers AWD with stow and go seats. It was great when we rented one and the dogs could lay down in the second row with the seat stored. two kids went on the third row and my toddler on the other captain chair. I didn’t find the seats particularly comfortable though. When we rode in an Odyssey I thought those seats were comfy and the second row spacious even with the bench seats. Unfortunately no AWD available from Odyssey yet. I think Chrysler has two monitors in the second row, which I think I prefer over a single screen from the Sienna
Monitors are such easy fixes these days on the aftermarket world. You can get those installed, or even just get headrest adapters for iPads/Amazon Kindles for so cheap on amazon, that it is literally never worth taking the entertainment packages unless you plan to lease and replace the car within 3 years. The tech is always outdated at that point, and at least with say headrest mounts, you can change/update the tablets as your car ages and still have decent tech.
I would love to see you tour a Toyota 4 runner
Great information! Keep it up :)
Thanks!
The power tailgate is not standard. You have to get an XLE or above
Do more minivan tours please!!
I think best family cars for mom that need space are mini vans ex . Odessey , Seinna . SUVs are like the Ford Expedition that’s my pick for an suv that has a lot of space even with the car seats in just like the mini vans .
In your opinion, does the sliding door open farther in the 2021 vs 2022 sienna? No worries if you can't remember, just curious! thank you :)
Thank you! Would love to see the Hyundai Palisade.
Check out her Instagram 😊
I’ve gotta see your review of the 2022 Kia Carnival ! I actually cannot believe I’m considering a van instead of an SUV 😱
as soon as we get one on the lot I'm touring it!
That was our other choice. I love how the middle seat in the middle row is on it's own tracks, so in theory you could have a car seat there all the way close up to the front row, and the middle captain seats all the way back, which would make it a lot easier to put a pacifier or feed a baby bottle from even the passenger front seat.... but... it's a Kia :( resell value + reliability past maintenance is well....
hi! i would like to know how use the rear entertainment system???
I have the 2014 model and cannot believe they got rid of the ceiling vents and cool box!! I’m in the market for a new car bc I want a SUV now..could you start including gas mileage in your videos too please?
How is it for car seats? Thank you!
5:30 Standard third-row sunshades seemed too good to be true, and as I suspected, only second-row sunshades come standard at all trim levels.
Can you do a Subaru ascent
Can you please send us the new 2021 crisler pafca.
I’d love a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid video!!! It’s a vehicle I’m interested in getting your opinion on.
I love Toyota Sienna vans but the aggressive front end and larger hood is not doing it for me. It has the same mouth-like grill Lexus cars have. It looks like it's going to eat you up and is so low to the ground. Inside is awesome but I like the cab forward design of the old vans.
Love it!!
Thank you!!
Will you rather an suv or a minivan?
Honda Odyssey please!
Omg. Why can’t all reviews include car seats?! I love your reviews
thank you so much!
Odyssey please
You can do one on a Kia Seltos for your next all-new video.
I like it. Including the front end.
👍
I loved it when I drove it, but the infotainment, backup camera and 360 view is TRASH. I wanted to buy it so bad, but the Carnival had such amazing technology.
1x(10/14/22)…1…done thank you excellent
Thanks, your name is Kelly?
I'm concerned with how good the hybrid engine will hold up over the years. V6 is tried and true. But can't beat 36mpg..
And that CVT…
Toyota has been making Hybrid since 1997 which was 25 years ago. Honestly, if you are concerned with Toyota Hybrid, then you should not buy Hybrid from any other manufacturer and stick with either gas-only engine or electric motor.
Love the side view, not so much the front of it!
They could’ve removed just one of those grills to make it less “scary” looking
Great review and she very easy on the eyes.
is there a remote start?
Yes
@@nickbirkett6993 the remote start its with the toyota app? Or in the remote too?
@@cerrajerodelamorss6169 in remote as well. Without the app, the effectiveness is about 20 ft
Hello 👋
if car has no pick up on highway, would do a different car. pretty pricy
Toyota has to get over those grills! Truly so ugly, my 2012 Sienna XLE looks so much better,
great van, love the 36 mpg, my Sienna gets around 23 on the hwy.
That is an ugly front
It looks too aggressive, it took a long time to adjust to that ugly front
