Highlight of my car is that it is a 2003 and the thing is still going.

I love my truck. I bought it in 2003 because I had 3 small children and it is so roomy and reliable. I still have the truck and I have had no major problem regular service.. It is great for traveling with lots of trunk room for luggage. The third row always came in handy with kids friends. The seats are very comfortable and drives well.

My vehicle is spacious with a nice sunroof and has enough room to fit a family.

I love everything about my vehicle. It is very reliable and the perfect size. It requires very little maintenance.

Sheila M

Sequoia is reliable and comfortable but some things have failed.

The sequoia is extremely comfortable and reliable. However, there have been several things that have failed. The power door lock on the front passenger side is broken. The motor for the back window has broken two times. The leather on the driver's seat is cracking and has a rip. This car has been kept in a garage 100%!Of the time.

Melissa S

It's still in great shape even though it's older. Worth the money

I love my vehicle. It's big, lots of space, and I feel safe in it. Toyota's are nice quality so it rarely gives me any mechanical issues. Perfect for my family

Hector V

Best family SUV. You will enjoy driving this vehicle.

Drives smoothly, turns at 180 degree radius, perfect for u turns. Not many problems if you do your regular maintenance.

Samantha G

Spacious. Comfortable. Powerful.

I absolutely love my car. The performance is outstanding. I've never had any issues whatsoever with the Toyota Sequoia. It has plenty of room for the whole family including car seats for small children. All over it is a great buy and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new car.

David M

Very strong engine v8 tow package.

I like the style comfort, very roomy and can seat 8 passages and the color silver is nice also. Reliable.

Chloe C

I love our Toyota sequoia.

I love how my Toyota sequoia rides. The space is amazing too because I have 1 son and expecting another soon. We have never had an issue with our Toyota when it comes to performance. The only cosmetic issue we have is with the back hatch. Our handle broke, but the trunk is still accessible.

My Toyota is like having a limo it has third row seating and enough for family

It eats gas to fast to many noises it has third row seating but hard to get to. Also engine to big hard to get to oil transmission fluid. Needs a lock for the 4 wheel drive shift. Also needs more child safety. And has a lot of legroom. Great for big families

Bryce G

The mean green SUV that keeps on giving.

My vehicle has no working A/C and makes travel difficult during the hot summer days. Several door handles including the front and back right passenger handles broke, as well as the back latch. Besides those problems, the vehicle runs well with over 100,000 miles on it.

Thomas H

Great truck for a person with money for gas

It is s great SUV not exactly good for gas but I love the car it has all the power I need and also features that work for me

Dorothy P

I'm really impressed with how stout the motor is...has a lot of power

I bought it used. But she runs amazing! Very fuel efficient. Strong motor. I've only had to replace brake pads. It's a solid car which i'm surprised..i feel completely safe on travels

Amanda H

I'm writing about how well the Toyota Sequoia

It runs and drives really good for as old as it is. As long as you do the regular oil changes etc., like your supposed to it will be fine. I have had no real problems with it and I drive it non stop everyday for my work. It's very large and a lot of leg space for each seat. I love that the 2 very back row seats come in and out with ease. Sometimes I have to take them out when I work to carry large items. And then I can put them right back in when my family is driving somewhere. And it's great on gas.

Hunter P

My car is an eight seater.

The vehicle is a very reliable car lasting me over 200,000 miles. The only problem is that currently it is old and keeps having little problems. It still works.

Rama P

It holds 7 people and you can put three car seats in the second row

I like that it fits my whole family and there's room for all of our stuff. I don't like how big my vehicle is because it's hard for me to drive and park.
