The 2002 Toyota 4Runner is by far my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. The quality, inside and out, is exceptional. These older SUVs are built to last and aren't oversized like newer SUVs. With metal bumpers and fenders, it can really take a beating. I was once rear-ended really hard and barely got a scratch on the bumper. I have made multiple long-distance road trips and never had any major mechanical issues. The space inside is also amazing. You can fold the back seats down to make extra trunk space for, say, bicycles without having to deal with a bike rack.

My vehicle is very dependable and I have no worries of unexpected breakdowns. I feel safe in the vehicle and, most importantly, I feel safe driving my children in the vehicle. It is roomy and comfortable along with not feeling like a "soccer mom" car. It handles well with a smooth drive for an SUV.
