Jennifer M

Lots of space. Great for day trips.

Lots of room for all of the kids. I love that the rear seats give the option of either flipping upright or removing completely. Seats are roomy and comfortable. Very nice for a long drive with lots of kiddos.

None G

It's a great family car that can carry eight people and still have room for luggage or groceries or sports equipment

It is comfortable. Has a lot of room. It runs forever. Doesn't require a lot of maintenance.

Andra m

Gas is a factor. The amount of times a week I have to get gas is very frustrating

I love the amount of space and features in the vehicle, but it is not very good on gas

Herman M

It's dependable. Fairly decent mileage for such a large vehicle.

Reliable. Dependable. Worry free. Family sized.

Candace V

Toyota - very reliable vehicle. Would definitely buy again!

Bought it slightly used and it has been the best vehicle. Never gave me any issues until it hit about 150, 000 miles. They were most recently the fuel pump, a problem with abs system once. But overall a very reliable vehicle. Would definitely buy a Toyota product again.

Tiffany J

As a mom on the go, I love my SUV.

My truck is 4 wheel drive which works excellently. It has been reliable and easy to fix when maintenance needs to be performed. We comfortably have traveled with two car seats and five adults and could have easily fit one more person. It is fully loaded and came standard with a six disk CD changer.

Jane D

It is safe and easy to drive. I feel safe and secure when I am driving my Toyota Sequoia. It has an automatic transmission.

I love the security of a big and solid vehicle. I love the engine power. I love the way my Toyota sequoia runs. I love the way my Toyota Sequoia is secure on snow and ice.

Diane B

One of the nicest SUVs to drive.

First I must say I love the size. Room for just about anything you can imagine. This car has very good performance, cannot beat a v8 engine for towing or going uphill. The third row of seats are removable. And last this may be a big SUV but it rides like a sedan.

Vee J

Broke down and in need of an upgrade. But a good family car.

My car has the ignition out in it. Its missing a blinker. Its black. The fuel pump is out on it. And it needs new tires. The best thing about this car is that it is big enough for my entire family. The air does not work in my car. The car needs a new back handle.

Rebecca B

It sucks. Really do not like it. Too big.

Old and too big. Way too load, uses so much gas, hard to park, brakes are terrible, needs to be replaced. Mileage is way too high. It is very gross I do not like it, color is bad, so noisy, everything is broken, I hate it so much, terrible car. It is the worst ever I hate it.

Kacie V

It's very spacious. It fits three car seats across each row of seats.

My vehicle is spacious, especially with the 3rd ROW seating. My back hatch, headlight and door handle are all broken.

Monique S

Old Faithful would be the name I would give the review of my vehicle. She is older than alot of my neighbor's vehicles, but she gets me from point A-B with no major hassles. My life is so much better with the vehicle.

I really love my car, but because I bought it used from someone in the neighborhood it had issues that I did not know about until I started driving it for a period of time. It performs great and is reliable, she's just old and needed love.

Kim H

Zero mechanical problems.

Vehicle is sufficient in transporting us from point A to point B. We have NEVER had a mechanical issue with the vehicle. This is the reason why we usually buy Toyota vehicles. Quality pays off.

Paige M

I really like this vehicle because it sits up high and is a V8 vehicle. I love the power behind it and the seats are pretty comfortable.

It's a nice vehicle but i'm having problems with the Trac light coming on. It's the light icon for the traction for driving in the rain.Well it turns on by itself when i'm at a complete stop and I push on the gas or when I hit the smallest bump in the road.

Nick B

Sequoias: the early 200's' take on a Cadillac.

Constantly going to the gas station, it can get expensive. Squeaky belts when the motor gets cold. Back door hatch breaks a lot. But, I do love it. Huge and awkward to navigate in cities. Giant car. But an amazing car. My friends always gaze in amazement whenever them see me successfully parking in a space.

Anna M

My Toyota is reliable and convenient.

The truck has really good mileage and drives great. I almost rarely have to change the oil. It fits 7 to 8 people which is great for large families. The truck has great horse power. This model of Toyota is very reliable and I recommend it to anyone who has big families.

It has plenty of passenger room

I like the amount of room it has and it is very comfortable

Gabrielle G on March 12, 2021

She is a silver, Toyota limited. Has a sunroof

The car is 16 years old and I've only had to bring it to the shop 3 times. It has great gas mileage and perfect for big families. Features are sunroof, large truck and extra row of seats that can be laid down. I currently am not facing any issues with the car, still drives very well for its age and looks amazing.
