  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.

  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!

  Just the best car/suv I have ever owned...prior suvs..2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2000 Dodge Dorango. Other car BMW 740IL. Very happy with this pusrchase. The vehicle is a perfect fit for the 2 child family...very good alternative to a minivan.

  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 Interior design is well built and exterior is up to date with present designs and looks like it will never be outdated.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.

  2002 Highlander - 2002 Toyota Highlander

  This is my 3rd and last Toyota as the reliability has been just plain awful. Ive had constant interior rattles and now my instrument cluster is dead, as are two air to fuel sensors. Im only 2k out of warranty and the dealer along with Toyota said Too Bad, even though its always been dealer serviced. Having a $1200 repair at just over 3 years of age while being just 2k out of warranty is unacceptable. Who ever heard of an instrument cluster dying at just 3 years of age!

  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 !

  Wouldve been good. Shouldve. - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By LostRealist - August 5 - 4:00 am

  Good car, but it does have problems. I dont know if we got a lemon, or if this is just the way this car is. We bought this car new, and since then have only put 45,000 miles on it. The engine is very noisy now, which cant be due to a bad driver. The family member that drives this is very gentle with it, making no use of the 200-some hp engine. Gas mileage is pretty poor for a Toyota, even if it is an SUV. Had to replace the blower fan and motor for the a/c 3 times already. Its starting to go out again. Original brakes are still on it and even though they dont need to be replaced anytime soon, they still emit a soft high-pitched sqeal.
