2014 Toyota Sequoia - Reliable
I like having a SUV and being able to sit up high and see the road in front of me. The vehicle drives very well although it is big. All the mechanical features work properly. I feel safe in the vehicle. It is very reliable. I like the fact that it's not shaped like a box, but has some design to the exterior. I get complimented on the vehicle all the time.
Story
I've had someone say to me, I'm going to have you pick up my son for school since you are driving a bus. LOL
Pros
I love having a V8 engine for speed. I never realized how important that feature was until you need to pick up speed quickly and you have the ability to do so. I like having third row seats that can fold down with the push of a button. I like being able to open the truck with a push of a button either on my keyless entry pad or a button inside the vehicle. The extra space in the vehicle makes you feel comfortable on long or short trips.
Cons
It is a big vehicle and not easy to maneuver as a smaller vehicle. Finding big enough parking spaces to fit the vehicle. The gas mileage is terrible. I think it's probably one of the lowest rated gas mileage of other SUVs in its class. The truck is basically the pickup truck version for Toyota. I believe they could have added more of a luxury feel to it.
2014 Toyota Sequoia - Manly family car
I immediately liked the Sequoia. I purchased the limited trim in black. It is my wife's primary car. We have 4 children under the age of 8 and needed a family car. I wanted something that didn't look like a minivan. My wife wanted an SUV and wanted black. I loved that it came with a 5.8L V8 and the price was about $10K less than the Tahoe. The quality is excellent. With her last SUV we noticed lots of cheap material. Plastic parts broke. Input plugs didn't work. We have had the Sequoia for two years now and I have not noticed any problems. We have more room than ever. It is great for going on long trips. With 380 HP, I never have a problem passing other cars.
Story
The kids love the sunroof. I will close it because it is so hot where we live, but my 3 year old wants it open. When I close it she screams at the top of her lungs till I open it back up.
Pros
I love the radio and speakers. They sound great!
Plenty of power.
Love the look.
Rides high.
The sunroof is awesome.
Great quality.
No mechanical problems.
Good backup camera.
Good paint job.
Very unique, does not look like every other large SUV on the road. I love Tahoes, but with all the GM clones there are so many on the road.
Cons
Bad on gas.
Very heavy.
Hard for my wife to park.
