  Well built, solid, easy to drive. Steering is a bit vague and requires some attention on the highway to track. Great, smooth brakes. Quiet with just a bit of wind noise. Good seating and comfortable ride - a bit on the choppy side at times, but controlled and compliant. Definitely not a truck but not quite a car. Great switch feel and controls and good visibility. Some body roll, but its not a sports car! Weve had zero defects and problems since new: its now been 3 months. If you need a car but require more storage than a car and want more head, leg and shoulder room than a car, this is it. Great vehicle for 4 adults on a trip!. We didnt buy it for off-roading, so cant comment on that.

  One Year - No Problems - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By nodrog444 - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving my Toyota Highlander for a year now and have yet to find a problem with it. Unlike GM cars that I owned during the previous 25 years, it never had a failure requiring a warranty trip to the dealer. There was one non-urgent recall that I took the car to the dealer for, but the machine ran the same before and after the repair.

  I live in Michigan, one day decided to visit a friend in Virginia. The drive was very comfortable. Didnt even feel that drive was for 16 hours. love the smoothness, style, and quality of the car.

  Drive the 4 cyl first - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Oakland Owner - December 25 - 2:00 am

  I love this SUV. I dont go off road and dont use 4WD. Most people who buy this type of vehicle will get 4WD and never use it. Dont bother. Also, test drive the 4 cyl first. You will be surprised at the power it has. The V6 is better but if you dont haul stuff and plan to get a 2WD, this will work. This is a car in an SUVs body.

  18 month review - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Jimmy V - December 8 - 2:00 am

  Overall, one of best, if not the best,new vehicles Ive ever purchased (7 previous). The ride and quietness are top notch. recently, my wife & I transported her elderly aunt & uncle in the Highlander. They were truly impressed, and these are pretty selective individuals, as they have always had luxury vehicles. Her uncle couldnt get over the quiet, car like quality & comfort. I have, so far, (knock on wood) had no mechanical problems whatsoever. Ive had only changed oil and rotated tires. p.s. it has also performed excellent during the early winter weve been getting in upstate NY.

  I have just completed the 1000 mile breakin and this is one fine vehicle. I have no compliants at all. The vehicle is designed perfectly, handles like a car, has excellent power, excellent room. I love my Highlander and would easilyt replace it with another.

  Awesome! Simply Mahvelous! Wow! - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By MAC - September 25 - 10:00 am

  Wow! What an incredible vehicle! We traded up from a Camry and glad we did! From the outside it looks small, but once inside it has an amazing amount of space (especially after folding the back seats) Can carry lots of stuff (use often in our craft business, garage sale shopping, etc) Doesnt feel too big and can see everything on the road (unlike the huge SUVs) Doesnt feel like an SUV, but like a large Camry. SMOOOOOOOOOTH! Highly recommend. Can be a bit pricey but well worth the money. We purchased the 6 Cyclinder and love the get up and go! Thanks Toyota!

  Smooth, powerful pickup. Good response to demand but attention to road necessary. Dials on dashboard need to have running lights on to be visible. Wind noise loud with rear windows part open. Really did not want moon roof or roof rack. Otherwise the vehicle feels like a fine watch and I have owned many of both!
