  Good Runner - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Geoff S - December 6 - 10:00 am

  A good running solid to the road feel vehicle with quite reasonable fuel economy. Why is there no power seat on the passenger side? No defect complaints. Driven a # of different Crossover type vehicles and this one beats them all in comfort and ride. The Big three needs to match this quality.

  Its a Toyota - no mistake - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Toyo Fans - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Its definitely a Toyota. Very comfortable, car-like SUV. Great visibility. Smooth V-6, roomy interior (look small on the outside, extremely roomy inside, especially the rear leg room. Easy fold down rear seats (60/40). Two dislikes (suggest improvement) 1) High speed wind noise at rear seating area and when windows open, 2) and stereo system, sound is too soft for rear passengers, but to using the fader can correct problem and provide even sound front & back passengers.

  By Patrick32787 - November 4 - 2:00 am

  Hey, i purchased a 2002 Toyota Highlander Limited V-6 AWD and i love it. the only thing i have to complain about is the standard Bridgestone tires in the snow, which stink, and the rattles the car has.

  BEST SUV - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By highlander lover! - October 29 - 9:03 pm

  Besides the expensive $35K+ SUVs, this has to be the best buy for your money! This car is so reliable, and hasnt broken down yet, even at 65,000 miles! All we have done is changed the oil twice, and changed the tires at 30K miles. Oh, the goodyears that originally came on the Highlander were "interesting." We replaced them with michelins. very satisfied with this purchase, way better than any van or the honda pilot! Very comfortable car, can tow up to 3K pounds (tried it before, works great with the V6, even up the steep hills in the Grapevine in N. LA county), good acceleration, nice looking, average gas mileage is about 20 MPG, mostly street driving. Not bad eh? Great car overall!

  Excellent Car - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By hellokitty - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Having own this vehicle for a short time has made me love it...really love it! Interior design is well built and exterior is up to date with present designs and looks like it will never be outdated. Acceleration is great, brake system is excellent, overall performance is just what I was looking for. The dealer was very helpful and able to give us what we wanted.

  Testemonial to the rear end ! - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Nor Cal Highlander - August 28 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Highlander 1yr 3 mos, 20,000+ miles & Ive loved every mile & every minute ! I was recently Rear- ended at a stop light, the other driver was stopped but decided it was time to go without the green light, he hit us hard enough to throw us a few feet forward. Expecting to get out and see quite a bit of damage, I was surprised to see a few minor scratches. To my astonishment that was exactly ALL that the toyota dealership & the repair shop found ! So KUDOS to the Highlanders fabulous Rear End !

  GreatNewSUV - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By DrivingHIGHlander - July 22 - 2:00 am

  I spent months looking for a new car & drove every SUV out there! Borrom line- its hard to beat the Toyota reliability & the amount of vehicle I could purchase for the price! Broguht my Highlander home & it seemed like I owned it forever. Controls are so functional --its just layed out logically. The ride is incredibly smooth , handling is great, and front seats are very comfortable. I drive the AWD 4 cyl- and the motor is not undersized as I thought it might be. Its got plenty of oommph when I need it. Great attention to detail! Vast amounts of cargo space in this one! Three adults fit great in the back seat too.
