Best car ever I love it so much and will never get rid of.
I love it so much. It is my favorite car I have ever had. I will never get another type of make in a car. Toyota is the best brand car that has ever been made. I do not know why people do not use them more often. 4runners and Sequoias are the best cars ever made and I will forever keep this brand at my house.

The SUV, Toyota sequoia is a dependable and fun vehicle to own and drive.
The sequoia is a very reliable vehicle. Very low maintenance is required. The drivetrain is the most efficient drivetrain I've ever driven. I would have to say that the mileage is the only negative. The vehicle only gets 17 mpg in the city and 24 on the Hwy.other than that, the vehicle is safe, dependable and easy to maintain. The take off is very smooth and quick. In fact, the Toyota sequoia was named the fastest large size SUV when accelerating from a dead stop. This outperformed other large sized vehicles like the Ford expedition and the Chevy suburban.. As for the price of the sequoia, it is not exactly cheap. The retail on one of the new models is in the neighborhood of $84,000.00 . However, you could still buy an older model like the 2012 which goes for around 16, 000.00 depending on the shape of the vehicle and the mileage. One can also find an older model like the one I have. Another good quality about the sequoia is it has a very durable towing package. Unless you are into camping on rough terrain or mountain sides, I would not recommend purchasing a 4'4. So if you have a semi large family with 6- 7 members, I would highly recommend the Toyota sequoia.

As with all the Toyotas I've owned, the car is very reliable.
Pros: The Sequoia is powerful, spacious, comfortable to drive and ride in. Seating accommodation is generous and storage space is great. Cons: It is loud at highway speeds. It's hard for those in the back seat to engage in conversation with those in front.

Super reliable and dependable. We can fit up to 8 people in/
I drive a gold toyota and I love the extra space it offers, along with the comfort and reliable power.
accountCircle Renee H
It is very spacious and we feel safe riding with the whole family.
I like that it is reliable and we haven't had any major issues. I don't like that it takes so much to fill the gas tank. Complaints are the back hatch always breaks.

I believe others should know Toyota's safety rating and comfort of vehicle.
I like the size, towing capability and power of the v8 engine. What I dislike is they stopped making this vehicle in 2007.
accountCircle Melissa M
The car is dependable and easy to maintain. I have had no major problems.
I have no problems, as we keep up with our maintenance of the vehicle. It is getting older as I have over 200000 miles. But it still is a good car.

The gas mileage is high, do not buy a 4wd unless you are really going to use it.
High gas mileage and it is not very comfortable and it rides rough. The 3rd row seats are difficult to put down and put back up. The 2nd row seats are also hard to put down.
accountCircle Caroline B
The comfortable and safe Toyota sequoia is a great family car.
I like the size of the 2007 Toyota sequoia. It is great for my family of five. Especially, when we travel with the dog! It has plenty of seats and room in the trunk for bags. I like how high it is off the ground. It has four wheel drive which works great. We bought this car used and have had a few problems with it. One was the frame. The frame was rusting and had a crack in it. Toyota had a safety inspection of the frames. When they found the crack, they replaced the entire frame. I was very happy with Toyota's response. This car is also really comfortable for long trips.

2007 Sequoia: Best family vehicle for Travel
Great vehicle for travel with family; comfortably seats 6 adults; more when considering kids. Sits very high on the road and feels very powerful. A lot of cup holders and love the captains seats.
accountCircle Kayla A
The Toyota sequoia is a comfortable and perfect vehicle for large families.
A fan favorite is the back window being able to roll down. I am not a fan of how much gas it eats up, however it's the perfect vehicle for larger families.

It is an amazing ride to be such a small car!.
I like the roominess of the inside. The power of the engine and the sporty look. I also love the DVD player and love the fact that the kids can watch movies and be entertained.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Tucker C.

Lots of room. Good for taking long trips. Good gas mileage considering the size of the SUV. Great for trips camping, going to the beach. 4 Wheel drive works good. Great for everyday use as well from getting groceries and going to work. Great daily driver.

likeFilled David C.

I currently have 219000 miles on the vehicle and it is still running strong. The vehicle has held up and is still nice on the interior and exterior. I have done only relatively small repairs on it since I purchased it used.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Tucker C.

It's hard sometimes to remove the back seats and put them back but honestly not that hard. Some parts are hard to replace without taking it to a dealership or mechanic I really do not have much to say bad about the SUV. I sometimes feel like it uses a lot of oil or it is leaking.

dislikeFilled David C.

The only issue is some parts. A lot of the replacement parts are factory only. Which drives the price up. Also some the parts are more difficult to replace than the same part on another vehicle. So look very well when replacing parts in eBay for price and the actual taking apart as not to damage anything else.

Is The 2007 Toyota Sequoia A Good Value?

I bought it used and it held its value. I laid 12,500 which was about 1000 over book value. It had new aftermarket tires and wheels so did the deal anyways.

Brand new it was $37, 000. It was well worth it, Toyota makes their vehicles to last. It has luxury style at a great price, for everything that is include.
Marti P.
We paid around $45,000 if I remember correctly. It had been a great value for our family. We'd buy it again.
Kam M.
I bought mine used from a dealer. It's an SUV I think it was a good value. And I am not sure at this point what the Kelly blue book value is.
