My mother had a 98 Sienna, bought it in 2000. It treated her well until we got rid of it in 2013.
Positives:
-Required nothing but the bare essential maintenance
- Transmission lasted until about 270k (w/o changing the fluid)
- Comfiest minivan I have ever ridden in (out of Nissan, Honda, Dodge, Toyota)
Negatives:
- Cheap Plastic Everywhere (creaks in the dash, door handles + internals)
*** Had the trunk door mechanism break so it was locked/closed permanently (happened in 2012)
- ABS system failed after a couple of years and was known for failing in that generation ($3000 fix + questionable lifetime)
- TPMS crapped out after about 5 years or so
Initial quality and value goes to Honda but if you are planning on keeping this thing for 10 years, the Toyota is head and shoulders above the rest.

If cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down, what would happen if you strapped burnt toast to the back of a cat and dropped it?
