  • WOW! Was I impressed. - 2002 Toyota Highlander

    If I go into all the items that I like about this car, you would think that I was working for the company. My job has me on the road a lot, so I see many driving conditions on and off the highway. Ride for the Highlander is fabulous. Road noise is kept to a minimum. Handling is excellent. Turning radius compares to a much smaller vehicle. Stereo in the Limited is wonderful for roadtrips or intown cruising. Seat positioning is outstanding for heights of 50-60. Rear legroom is incredible.

  • Great Car! - 2002 Toyota Highlander

    This is truly a great mix of an SUV and a car. With the added payload room of an SUV and the drive of a car it is an incredibly versatile and pleasant vehicle to drive. Coming from a full size SUV I appreciate the better mileage and much smoother handling.

    I purchased this car with 72,000 miles on it. I have 130,000 with no major problems. Get around 23 MPG over all. Runs good for only having a 4 cyl. I would buy another.

    We turned in our 2001 4Runner for our 2003 Highlander 4x4 V6. Its VERY roomy, love the power driver seat, location of controls, lack of noise and overall feel.

  • 160,000 miles - still going strong - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Our 2002 has 160,000 miles on it and has been a very reliable vehicle. I do all of my own routine maintenence work, and filers, plugs, etc., are easily accessible. The engine and auto trans still run like brand new - does not use any oil between changes, has never needed any internal engine or trans work - and never had any problems with any major components. We live on a rough gravel road, and the suspension was starting to feel a bit lose at 150,000 miles - I installed new struts, link rods, ball joints, bushings, etc. and it is back to feeling very "tight". The Idle Control Valve became dirty and caused stalling problems, but once I cleaned it problem went away.

  • I love my Highlander ! ! - 2002 Toyota Highlander

    I love this SUV. I would buy it again in a second. It has been very reliable. I have about 110,000 miles on it and have never had a moments trouble out of it. Just the regular oil changes and tire rotations.
