#8913 of 8952 2008 Sequoia by jspagna1 Oct 19, 2007 (7:22 am)
I can't believe the new Sequoia is not going to be available till Dec 2007 or Jan 2008. They have already introduced the Tundra and now I see that the 2008 Land Cruiser is out. I would think toyota would have done it the otherway around being that the Sequoia is more popular IMO.   http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=123006
#8914 of 8952 First Car by carlover20 Oct 20, 2007 (11:48 am)
I am a High School student and looking for my first car. I want something reliable and with 4WD, in central New York you get a lot of snow. I haved looked at many suv's, I dont like the rav-4, 4runner (before 2003), and Highlander. I like the Sequoia and Land Cruiser although the Land Cruiser is to expensive. My budget is $16,000. Does anybody have any suggestions. Replies to this message: gagrice (Oct 20, 2007 6:04 pm) canddmeyer (Oct 20, 2007 8:38 pm) pedal2dmetal (Oct 20, 2007 9:21 pm) nedzel (Oct 23, 2007 8:50 am)

Replying to: carlover20 (Oct 20, 2007 11:48 am) You are probably stuck buying a 4-6 year old Sequoia or Land cruiser. Normally they hold their value pretty well. With the high price of gas you can find people that just want out and get a bargain. Have it all checked out by a good mechanic. Especially if there is no warranty left. Good luck.

Replying to: carlover20 (Oct 20, 2007 11:48 am) How about a brand new Subaru Impreza??? All Subaru's have all-wheel drive and usually nothing is more reliable than a new vehicle. If you're under 18, a parent would probably co-sign since you already have 80% of the money anyway. Or, just lease for two-to-three years and you'll have money left over provided you keep the mileage low.   Last but least, consider snow tires. 4WD or all-wheel drive help, but snow tires are what keep you planted to the roadway during the snow and ice season no matter what you drive. Tire Rack can help you with that.

Replying to: carlover20 (Oct 20, 2007 11:48 am) I could not agree more..., a Subaru will surely fit the need, function, budget, and practicality. I suggest any of the Subaru's since they all have AWD. If you want good balance with 4 doors, young group to attract, I suggest any 04-06 WRX. You will most likely find one with with low miles and around 10K with change to spare to cover maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs. Good luck...
#8918 of 8952 Re: Sequoia NAV less than acceptable [gagrice] by pedal2dmetal Oct 20, 2007 (9:32 pm)
Replying to: gagrice (Oct 13, 2007 7:32 pm) I suggest to have the NAV reset including the compass. If your compass is off track and not pointing magnetic North when needed, you surely will be off on any location you attempt to program. I personally do not have a built in NAV on my 04 Sequoia, but I have several hand held and dash top placed GPS systems I've used. Also, check your default settings and make sure the appropriate options are on or off. Example, route preference, highway, side street, or off road. Routing, automatic, audible prompt, or none... The only item I say can really get you off track if all has been done and said is your area. Make sure to at least get 3-4 satellite connections. A good connection will show several to a handfull of sattelite direct line of sight on your horizon, 45% above, and directly above you. Make sure to also enable WAS.

Replying to: pedal2dmetal (Oct 20, 2007 9:32 pm) Make sure to also enable WAS.   What is that? The NAV is very accurate for GPS location. It is just not good at routing. It gives 3 choices and none are the best of known routes. Maybe I am expecting too much AI out of the NAV. It does not take the shortest route most times. Or it directs you on roads that do not go all the way through to your destination. We drove it extensively in the area of San Diego that is now on fire. If I was not very familiar with that area the NAV could send you on a dead end road. That could be dangerous in an evacuation situation. If I had it to do over I would not have bought the SUV with NAV or the useless backseat DVD player. I would have installed a Pioneer NAV. I thought all Toyota NAV units were voice operated also. I just got some old technology in a new vehicle. I guess that is why they were so heavily discounted. It drives and handles nice.

Replying to: carlover20 (Oct 20, 2007 11:48 am) On your limited budget, a Sequoia would be a really bad idea. The cost of gas would kill you.   Get a small FWD or AWD car and put a set of snow tires on it. I lived in Ithaca for 4 years and did just fine with a rear wheel drive car. There's no need for a big truck that gets 12 mpg.

#8922 of 8952 tcs light by blkrob Nov 01, 2007 (3:10 pm)
I was wondering if anyone knows why my tcs light has come on in my 03 seq. 4wd and has stayed on, my engine light came on about the same time. I put the obd2 on it and it pulls a code for an o2 sensor. can anyone advise whether the lights are related to each other and what could be the problem. any advice would be appreciated.
