Driving Experience

Includes acceleration and handling

What Owners Say

"Best vehicle I've ever used for driving in snow and ice conditions--by far!"

W G., CA (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"I think it handles very well. Braking is good as well as acceleration. It's very smooth! I like it much better than some of the newer cars when the computer controls your deceleration and braking, it results in very uneven and "jerky" ride."

Anonymous, KY (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"This was the first year with skid control VSC. It has saved me a couple of times on wet and icy roads. Plenty of horsepower for this big rig too, it still can get on it , no problem."

CLEMENT S., NJ (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

Comfort

Includes seats, climate control, noise, and ride

What Owners Say

"The 2002 drivers seat is a problem, the padding degrading quickly (< 50K miles) and pulled the left control cover off. Attempts for dealer repair focused on replacing the cover, not the root cause. Mechanics were well aware this was a common issue but not allowed to fix the real cause."

"I am 6'4" tall. This SUV has more than enough leg and headroom. Very comfortable seats. Excellent air conditioner."

BOBBY C., TX (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"Quiet ride, air conditioner top notch, smooth ride"

"My previous vehicle was a mercedes and the sequoia rides as nice or better in all conditions. Doesn't feel like a truck at all."

CLEMENT S., NJ (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"Disappointed to find that front passerger seat has only 4-way power adjustment versus 8 or 10-way on Toyota/Lexus Land Cruiser. The 8 or 10-way power seat adjust for front passenger seat should be standard on a vehicle that cost $52,000 (in 2002). Sequoia is quiet, stable and comfortable even after 16 years and 312,000 miles. The 2002 Sequoia is the best road vehicle I have owned since 1964. I drive it particularly on long trips (more than 100 miles) as much as I can. The only negative is t"

Did you get what you wanted relative to the price you paid?

What Owners Say

"Good older car if it has been maintained. We now tow it behind our motorhome and rely on it being dependable, which it has been for the 3 years we've owned it."

GARY B., ID (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"15 years, 210K miles and counting - zero mechanical issues and looks/runs like new. What more can you ask for."

Anonymous, OR (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"I have a 28 mile dirt road mountainous drive to reach paved roads. The vehicle has held up very well to fairly rough use."

LINDA B., AZ (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"I have 160,000 miles on this car and its 14 years old. I've never had any significant mechanical issues or breakdowns. Very reliable!"

Anonymous, KY (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

MICHAEL W., CT (2002 Toyota Sequoia)

"its a 2002! and still running strong as a primary vehicle!!"
