  A Real Winner - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Heather H. - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Bought one last month and love it. Love the exterior design and the interior design. Did well in the crash test ratings which is important to me as a parent. Love the height and angle at which the radio and controls are. The back doors are full-size; no bonking your head trying to get into the back of this SUV. It is so fun to drive, although I have difficulty seeing past the headrest when backing up. Never had that problem with any vehicle. Just something to get used to.

  Comfort and Security, but.... - 2002 Toyota Highlander

  Despite careful break-in period, good maintenance and conservative driving, the gas mileage is worse than anticipated. Otherwise the comforts are there, fit an finish great, and winter handling impressive.

  Great SUV - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Phil Rodriguez - November 25 - 2:01 pm

  First SUV that I have ever owned, reliable and great. It has 106,000 miles and it is used as a family vehicle. I keep the maintenance on it when it is needed, for an SUV that has 16 years it is running great. Toyota knows how to make cars, trucks, and SUV that last a lifetime. I am sure that I will surpass 300,000 miles. Great SUV!!!

  First Japanese built vehicle - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Phil K - November 15 - 10:00 am

  Vehicle has been very reliable. Gas mileage (4cyl) has been as rated without A/C, one mile less with. Paint/clearcoat seems a little softer than previous vehicle(non-Toyota).

  Love My Toyota - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Rick - September 12 - 12:46 pm

  I bought this with 15,000 miles on it and it has 116,000 on it now and never had any problems with it, I guess its time to change the plugs other than that, I will be looking for a newer one soon and getting a nice resale on this one.

  Great car! Original owner - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By Stacy - July 28 - 6:00 am

  Great car! original owner...Wish it had 3rd row seats...the newer models do. I am looking at upgrading to a newer model of the same car, so that tell you how great of a car. I probably will not trade in or resale this one though.

  Truck or Car - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By ravenjred - July 20 - 10:00 am

  I have owned 2 previous toyotas and loved them both. I had to get out of my Solara due to back problems. When I first drove the highlander I couldnt tell that I was in a truck, it drove so much like a car. I have had the highlander since November and I absolutely love it. It is worth the extra money for the limited, it looks alot nicer and I love the leather. It drives much nicer than the 4-runner and since it is built on a Lexus chassis, it is great for my back. There is nothing I dont love about this truck. Outstanding value, superb ride and Toyota quality. I would buy another one tomorrow.

  Great car - 2002 Toyota Highlander
  By JakeBlues - June 20 - 10:00 am

  We love this car. It has a great ride, is mechanically sound and the V6 engine gives it plenty of power. We are quite happy with it.
