It is paid for and I feel safe in it.

I love the reliability of Toyota. I feel safe in this vehicle because it is very big. My only dislike is that it cost a lot for gas. Also, I wish I had a newer one.

Missi T

Toyota is a very dependable and reliable maker of vehicles

It has been very reliable and trouble free in all the years I've owned it and it is still running strong.

Andrew D

It is comfortable! Have taken it on several long trips and the large seats are very comfortable.

I like my 2001 Toyota Sequoia and have had no complaints about it since I purchased it new in 2001. The SUV is still current looking, has large seats, seats 7 plus driver, and is easy to maintain. Nice vehicle!

Debbie D

It is a great family car, used it for vacations, soccer games & tournaments, lots of travel.

I love my Sequoia, it has been very durable & long lasting. It has over 200,000 miles on it & I plan on keeping it for as long as I can.

Luxury Vehicle with Top Notch Safety Features!

This is the first vehicle I've ever had where I can truly say that I feel SAFE...safe on the road with my kids and family.

Toyota Sequoia, fantastic vehicle to own on a long-term basis! Super reliable.

Had my Toyota Sequoia for several years. It is solid with performance and handling. This one currently has 373 thousand miles on it, and I intend to drive it at least $600,000 miles. Very minimal major problems. As with most vehicles, you have to keep up regular maintenance diligently.

Tara J

Very comfortable vehicle and great for families.

It has been very reliable. I enjoy the space it provides for me and my family. Seats are very comfortable for long trips. Lots of legroom in the back. I enjoy that you can take out the third row if you need. We haven't had any major problems and we drive it often back and forth from work to home and on long trips.

The Toyota sequoia a versatile vehicle for family use and power.

The Toyota sequoia is a powerful and comfortable car. This car is great for a wide variety of people. Powerful enough pull trailers or tow boats and handles off road quite well. It's good for family use as the availability of middle and rear seats the sequoia can hold up to 8 passengers. Some of the downsides are the cars low gas mileage mean that trips to the gas station are more frequent than other cars. Another downside is that the vehicle is very large and that means a poor turning radius and difficulty parking. With the seats removed I use my sequoia for comfortable car camping and one of my favorite features is the power back window that allows you to open and close it. This is a great car that I will use until it dies.

Love my Toyota Sequoia ??.

It is a great family car. Specially because it is roomy and very comfortable for long trips. We do lots of Disney trips. The seats are leather and clean easy. You can make room by removing the back seats. The car has lots of room for bags. It is very high and you feel safe.

William C

Very poor gas mileage and is way to underpowered for it is size.

Uses too much gas expensive to repair, is not a truck, too many cheaply made plastic parts that break easily, do not want an SUV any longer.

Grant F

2001 Toyota Sequoia. Not the prettiest car, but the most reliable.

It's an extremely reliable car, runs great, has few to no issues other than simple maintenance which we are able to take care of ourselves. It is not beautiful considering it is older and has over 200, 000 miles but it's comfy, safe, and extremely reliable. There are no bells and whistles, just a plain and simple 2001 truck/SUV. We will absolutely be buying another Sequoia once this one is not drivable.

Christie M

Terrible undercarriage. Rusts too easy.

It runs very well. The body has issues with rust on the frame. The undercarriage rusts so bad that it affects the ball joints, rack and pinion, and the axles. It still is a smooth running car, but everything else under it is terrible. The power steering box started leaking and it's a terror to steer. It costs me 2 quarts of power steering fluid daily, just to drive to where I need to go. Generally, just 10 miles.

Chris G

It's a charcoal grey 2003 Toyota Sequoia

Usually a good smooth ride occasionally run into problems with the key not turning itself and the steering wheel locking up. Other than this it's a pretty good drive besides the mileage it gives you with gas. Money is spent A LOT trying to keep gas in there

Very solid and dependable. Also, because of Its size, it is a very safe vehicle.

Love my Sequoia. I have had no major mechanical issues. Starts and runs great every time. I do the maintenance as required and have even changed the timing belt. She is over 300k miles.

This car is spacious but a gas hog

I really like the space it offers, however; it is a gas hog. It rarely breaks down and is very comfortable.
