  • Great SUV - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Coming up on 120,000. I guess Ill get a tune-up. Every time I take it to the dealer they say its fine. Replaced the brakes once and had a ball bearing replaced. Other than that, it runs great. Husband bought me a new VW CC as an early Christmas gift - but I cant give up this SUV, so hell have to take the new car. I know this sounds crazy -- but why replace it if its running great!!! Plus it has more room and can haul more.

  • GREATEST SUV FOR YOU MONEY!!! - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I bought this SUV March 2001, own it for almost 1.5 years now, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT VEHICLE, NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER!!! RECENTLY ADDED THE SIDE RUNNING TUBES. LOOKS GREAT!!! BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM MY TOYOTA DEALER!!! JUST NEED A REGULAR OIL CHANGE/ROTATE TIRES EVERY 5K MILES. I THINK ITS BETTER THAN PAYING DOUBLE FOR A BMW X5. SAVES YOU MONEY, NO LUXUARY TAX! AND BEST OF ALL ITS A TOYOTA!

  • still lovin it after 4 years - 2002 Toyota Highlander

    the comfort, reliability and reasonable gas mileage (avg. 18 mpg around town) makes this vehicle perfect for a single person or small family. i would not hesitate to by a newer model in say, 8- 10 years!

    First let me say I didnt want this car but we bought it because it was in our price range. It had 77,000 miles when purchased. I am happy to say it grew on me over the past 2 yrs. Great fuel usage (400+ to the tank), low maintenance cost and reliability. Ours has 135,000 miles and the drivetrain is still strong! I have the 4 cylinder And it drives like a six cylinder Interior is durable and shows very little wear (even with the dogs) easy to clean and the paint still looks good.

  • My Highlander - 2002 Toyota Highlander

    I found the Highlander to be an excellant mid size SUV. I replaced a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Highlander is far superior than the Jeep in style, comfort & reliability. There is enough room in the back for 2 child car seats & the leather seating in the limited is very comfortable. In the 7500 miles that I have owned the car (7 months) I am very pleased with all aspects of the car.

  • Simply the Best - 2002 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Ive been looking at purchasing a SUV to replace our family van for the last year. I have test drove and rented most of them to my disappointment. Poor handling, shoddy workmanship, lousy fuel mileage etc. But after trying in vain to purchase a Honda Pilot I came across the Highlander. The best move I have ever made was to test drive and go with the FWD 6 clylinder. Great looks, great gas mileage,handles like a dream and a nice sun roof. Who could ask for anything more.

  • Typical Toyo - 2002 Toyota Highlander

    Bought it, without telling the wife. After the fallout, let her have a long drive and, well. Lovely car. Manly truck. Smoooooth powertrain. Excellent visibility.
