  Great car - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By jwilson778 - August 4 - 2:00 am

  After 18 mos one trip to dealer to fix rear axle seal. Smooth v-6, decent mileage very good storage for the size. 8 year warranty on engine (to address sludge fears). Traded Odyssey LX for this more reasoable sized car but still have the high ride height and got AWD

  Wow - what a steal! - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By nctorr - July 28 - 10:00 am

  This is a great SUV. It drives and handles like a car; and, it has ground and curb clearance like a truck. I have driven it on and off pavement and found that it works well either way. I did learn that SUVs hydroplane just as well as cars do...but I dont think its the SUV (if you get my drift). The Highlander is a handsome car with very easy features internally, like collapsing the back seat (VERY EASY), and changing CDs while driving. Everything is made easy for the driver and passenger!!! Great Car!

  I could not be more pleased with my Highlander. Mine is one year old with 15,000 miles. It has not had the first problem. What more can I say?

  Best SUV - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By e jeffreys - May 18 - 5:26 am

  Best SUV we ever owned. Rides like a luxury car, handles cargo like a Surburban. Excellent performance and perfect reliability.

  Excellent Deal - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Leader - May 11 - 2:00 am

  The Highlander was the right choice for us. We were looking for smooth and car driving features in an spacious quality reliable SUV. In addition weve got a decent base engine with good torque that will be enough to pass a vehicle, and good savings in gas.

  Another Great Toyota - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By WAGS - May 10 - 10:00 am

  Another great Toyota. A Lexus in blue jeans or a Camry on steroids. The interior layout is great with plenty of front and rear leg room as well as plenty of space side to side. The thing drives spectacularly smooth with good acceleration. A nice addition to our collection of Toyotas.

  Simply Irresistable! - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By toyota girl - April 26 - 1:46 am

  This is a wonderful car. I bought mine brand new and I now have 79,000 miles on it. It has never needed anything other than a new battery and one new set of tires. I changed my tires to Toyo as I think they handle better. I treat my cars good and have the oil changed every 3,000 miles. It looks great, but better yet it runs great. Thats the thing about Toyotas. They just run. I hate cars that break down constantly on the side of the road, and its never even a consideration with this car. I expect to have some expense around 90,000. Timing chain and anything else it needs. I did have the front brakes done recently. Buy this car! You wont regret it.
