  • Toyota Highlander Is an Excellent SUV - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    My wife uses this vehicle for work driving about 130 miles a day and is totally in love with it. It is a comfortable and reliable vehicle. It has had no maintenance problems in its first year only a rattle in the console that is uneconomical to correct. She intends to get another one in 2004.

    The only problem I have is the sound system. It is the worst of the worst! My steering wheel was also off-center when driving down a straight stretch of road.

    Fun car to drive and very functional with a large payload when you fold the middle seats down.

  • Solid vehicle - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    My Highlander has been driven mostly around town, with at least one long drive (1,000+ miles) each year. Other than oil changes and normal recommended maintenance, I have not spent a dime (new tires at 39K miles).

  • Endless Rattling - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I had bought this car used at a local dealership with 10k miles on it. After a few months, I had started to notice some minor rattling coming from the trunk area. I had brought it back to the dealership and they claimed to have replaced some clips. Still rattles. A few months later, I bought it to another dealership for the recall and again complained about the rattle. They added some foam, but the noise is still there. Over the years, more rattling started to appear from the dash and trunk. Its beginning to sound like my old 1984 Supra. At least the car is reliable. Hasnt broken down once.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I absolutely love my Highlander. The smooth ride and performance is incredible. I test drove the competition before making my purchase and this is by far the best ride. Taking Toyotas reputation for excellence into consideration, this is a vehicle youre sure to love.

  • Good Runner - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    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.
