  • Great SUV - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    We purchased it used, at a great deal, two years ago. Weve put 25,000 miles on it since and couldnt be more pleased. Works great for our family of five. Weve had no problems so far and love the way it drives. We get a little over 16 mpg through the hills and mountains of East Tennessee.

    Wife did her time in a worn 95 Volvo 850 wagon (now with 106K miles). With three kids that are no longer babies, we needed room for them and friends. She loves this car. I think the thing we love the most is how the car rides. Its just very, very comfortable.

  • Best Purchase - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Had this 03 for a few weeks and love it. Huge interior space, can pack the kids in easily. Power is no problem, handles superbly on the highway. Very quiet on all types of roads. Interior is sound and of high quality. Exterior design turns heads. Definately recommend this one.

  • Silly Quality Problems in a Great SuV - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I purchased this car used from a respectable dealership. This SUV does a great job towing my 3500 lbs. trailer. But, in the 8 months that weve own the car weve had broken Interior Door handles on both driver and passenger side, faulty gasoline tank sensor unit, and rear brake drum retention pin which came loose and eventually chewed up the brake shoes and drum. This is my 1st Toyota and compared to my Honda Accord Im surprised by the Silly Quality problems which one would not expect in a High Priced SUV like this, which Ive had in this relatively short time. Its making me wonder if I should have bought the Pilot?

  • Toyotas not what they used to be? - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Overall the 2003 Sequoia is a very good family car, but lots of issues. Here is a list of problems and youll see 3 of them are the same type of problem! 1) Inside door handle broke (was replaced while on warranty). 2) Gas gauge on the instrument panel is no longer working and reads empty when it is not. 3) Left rear passenger "Inside door handle" broke (not on warranty) 4) Back door window wont roll down 5) Right front passenger "Inside door handle" broke 6) Back door hatch "Handle" broke and now cannot open the back door at all. These door handles are just cheap plastic and would think Toyota should be replacing them by something stronger?

  • Great Toy - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    This the 4th Toyota truck I have owned, great SUV! Comfortable to drive, especially on those long trips, more comfortable than the ML 350 or the X5 or other over-priced SUVs. Can load up everything I need in this one. As always a very reliable vehicle.

  • King of the Hill - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I am very pleased with my Sequoia. It has the typical toyota build quality and a flawless drive train (might as well have a circle L on the hood). I do wish the diver seat was more comfortable. Also, the 3rd seat is a bit bouncy for a long ride. One of the great features is the reclining 2nd and 3rd row! I would buy another one in a heartbeat!

  • Total Satisfaction for The Big Family - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I test drove the Caddy-ESV, Lincoln- Nav, and all the GMCs. They are all nice but the Sequoia has the best balance of power, space, and confort for a large family. The best resale value doesnt hurt, not one bit.
