  • Sequoia 4x4 Limited - 2003 Toyota Sequoia

    Best overall vehicle I have ever owned in the last 39 years! I took a decibel meter and checked the quietness of several SUVs at 70 mph before purchasing the Sequoia. The others were not even close to the quietness of the Sequoia. It is smooth,powerful,has room for 8 with comfort and yet will turn tighter and handles better than my Pathfinder. If you want the best large SUV on the market and can write the check, look no futher.

    I have 10K miles on my Sequoia, and have had absolutely no problems. I was very surprised that my wife loves to drive it as much as me. Fit and finish is excellent. Buy one, you wont regret it!

    The first SUV I have owned and I love it.Never considered any American models,still cant compete with Japanese engineering, quality etc.My choices were the MDX and the Sequoia,they offered the most hip,shoulder and legroom.Ruled out the MDX due to the lack of vehicles to look at,slim color choices and turned off to paying full MSRP sticker.The Sequoia offered more vehicle for the money.My purchase was 4k under MSRP.The Sequoia had a superior ride quality,better seats,interior/exterior design and superior color choices.The engine is the smoothest V8 I have ever owned and quiet.Fuel economy is exceptable at 17mpg.I have had no problems and no regrets.

    Just traded an 01 Grand Cherokee Ltd after having baby#2. The Grand Cherokee is all things bad about American built cars. Bought an SR5 with every option available except heated seats. Had those doen after market along with Spoiler and DVD system and still paid thousands less than an equivalent Limited. Quite frankly, the two tone Natural White/Silver is a better looking vehicle than the Limited. And our friends have remarked how much nicer looking it is that our relatives 2002 Landcruiser!! After the Grand Cherokee and a 1998 EB Expedition, this is a keeper. You will have a difficult time finding another SUV as loaded as this for the money!!

  • Near perfect SUV - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    A suberbly build vehicle in all respects from fit and finish, paint finish, body integrity. Toyota set a new standard for trucks! Ride comfort is very good for a truck frame, a bit stiff on some roads but overall, very smooth and quiet. Mileage has been quite good for this size vehicle, 16.5 city, near 21 on the highway. Had a few surprising issues. 1 - replaced/ upgraded front rotors/brake. Toyota apparently undersized the rotors. 2 - Rear main seal replaced at 30k, all covered under warranty + new rear pads.

    The vehicle is large. It is also pleasantly just as big on the inside. The Sequoia is very comfortable, agile (for a truck), and extremely quiet. Everything you would expect from Toyota with maybe a touch of Lexus is instilled in this vehicle. From the fly-by-wire ignition system to the DVD player, it is a wonderful vehicle to drive.

  • Over two years and not a single problem - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    We switched to Sequoia from a 4Runner. I dont want to bore you with the initial decision making and comparisons I made. We have had this SUV for two years now. Have taken it to all nasty road conditions. The car drives as if it is on rails. The has a much more dynamic feel than the 4Runner (ironic isnt it/). More importantly, this SUV has never had to go back to dealer . Not even for an adjustment. I cant say the same for our European cars. I really recommend this SUV.

    When the Sequoia was first introduced, I wanted to have a closer look. I admired the 8-seat feature--thats a plus. It is so roomy in the rear; my children love it.

  • More for Less - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    With my Sequoia, Im impressed how Toyota was able to combine luxury, design, comfort, size and performance at a price below $45,000. At 17 mpg rating,(although Im only getting 16), Im glad that it uses only 87 octane gasoline.
