Toyota sequoia equals love!
I love my Toyota sequoia. It is well known Toyota makes a dependable vehicle but this SUV is durable as well as comfortable. It is very accommodating with seating for up to eight but the middle row folds down and the third row can be completely removed for maximum storage space. The ride is smooth like a luxury vehicle but like I said before it is rugged/durable. Yes I have texted the durability. We feel safe driving it in all weather conditions especially with the four wheel drive. I give this Toyota SUV two thumbs up, five stars, or whatever the highest rating is on any chart.

SUVs are top. Heavy, drive accordingly.
3 rows. Dependable.. Large enough that I feel safe in a fender bender... Still running fine over 265,000 miles. Dislike: gas guzzler.

It's a great, reliable family car.
I like how it handles, how it looks and it's height. I don't like the amount of trunk space there is. I wish it got better gas mileage.
accountCircle Christian A
It is a comfortable ride.
Great space. Its dependable. Its relatively inexpensive to maintain. Gas mileage is reasonable for its size v8 engine.
accountCircle Yolanda J
Comfortable and roomy and also reliable.
Very roomy, comfortable. Better for long drives in lieu of city driving. I keep my maintenance up. And allows continued performance of the vehicle. It is a great vehicle. Great for vacations and families of 5. Toyota brand is a great brand for an SUV. This truck is very reliable. Like all SUVs, it is not efficient on gas.

Drives smooth. Very spacious. Good for long distance travels
I have not had any issues with this car yet. It's great and can fit all 3 of my dogs when travelling and kids as well. It drives very smooth and comfortable and enough room space for everyone. Perfect for traveling. I might even buy a newer version of this one day. Definitely one of my favorites

The vehicle has a sunroof and has a leather interior
The Sequoia is reliable, and safe. It is a large vehicle that is roomy with space for kids and everything they need. It does not get great gas mileage but for a V8 it isn't bad. Mine has captain seats which makes getting to the third row easily. The car is easy to fix and get fixed as a Toyota, there are plenty of mechanics that have knowledge to fix.

It's a very safe car, since it is so big! Although sometimes hard for me to park.
It's a huge SUV, but we need it with 2 kids and 2 dogs. Love that it has a DVD player for the kids. Comfortable car and drives great! It has almost 250k on it, and she is running great!

One thing I like about my Toyota is that it is reasonably has a gas intake.
My vehicle a Toyota sequoia it is not really in clutch. Will the inside mostly works, I have had to replace quite a bit of things including engine, wheels, and stereo. And all the things that made it clear that it was just a bad car bucket with the first wann stereo. And all the things that made it clear that it was just a bad car.

That is has airbag suspension and if they break it is very expensive to fix.
I love how my vehicle has so much room and it runs great. I dislike the way it has airbag suspension. It is very costly when they go out. But overall it is a good vehicle.

The most important thing about my car is that it is a very trusted brand i have ran this car a lot and it is still alive.
I like how my vehicle is very conservative when it comes to gas. Things i dislike about my vehicle is how old it is, and the fact that it is no longer big enough for my family.
accountCircle david o
Good for moving and groups
It is a really old car so it has a lot of maintenance problems but it is reliable and not too big so it's good for moving and fitting a lot of people
accountCircle Cindy M
It does not handle well on turns in the rain so you have to be extremely cautious.
I love the size and how it looks. I do not like how it handles when turning or in the rain. I also wish it were newer so the stereo and safety features weren't so out of date.
accountCircle Stephanie F
The Toyota sequoia the vehicle for all occasions.
The Toyota sequoia is a very reliable and dependable vehicle, it is a very comfortable and spacious vehicle, it is great for big families who like to travel and it's also great for storage as well such as groceries and tools if you have a handyman around the house.

Looking for a good vehicle I highly recommend Toyota Sequoia
I have had my vehicle since 2010 and it's a 2006 so it's 13 years old and I have never had problems with it. My Toyota Sequoia is by far the top two vehicles that I have owned, you may think 'yeah, okay its a SUV it's going to ride horrible on roads, you'll feel everything', no its the complete opposite. The inside is amazing, seats 8 people, seats are removable so if you need more trunk space, 6 disc CD changer, and if your in back you can control your own heat/air conditioning, all seats lean back so you can be comfortable.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jeni C.

I love the amount of space that it has, and the 3rd row is great to have. It is easy to put away if we need the extra trunk space as well. It is the perfect SUV for off roading or to go out into bad weather like snow and ice. Great car for families!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jeni C.

Being a woman, the size is a little much with having to get in and out of the car. It also is not great when you have a baby or toddler who needs assistance getting in and out of a seat. It does not have the best gas mileage, but has a large tank to fill up.

Is The 2006 Toyota Sequoia A Good Value?

We paid 14,000 for it. They hold their value well, so we feel like we got a good deal. Haven't had to put any extra money into it.
Wendy B.
I am not sure what price was new, but I would be willing to pay more for a safe, reliable vehicle. I got a good deal on it used.
Madison M.
I bought this vehicle second hand and I believe I am paying a great price on the vehicle. It's in good condition and haven't had any issues with the motor or anything.
Amanda D.
Well, I paid $25000 for it as a used car, it had approximately 40,000 miles at that point. I am now at 250,000 miles, so yes, I have definitely gotten my money's worth.
Matthew M.
It is a good value as I am purchasing it used. The total cost of this vehicle is $6000 which is really good because it is in great condition to be a used vehicle. I am very pleased
Jerry K.
I have no real idea what it cost new but I'd guess somewhere in the $40K+ range. I paid $3500 for it. New or used, given it's dependability and capabilities it is a very good value.
