"Very smooth drive. Very quiet. It takes time to accelerate and deccelerate. But overall, very comfortable and roomy."

"Well, on a positive note, the leather seats are so comfortable they make you want to fall asleep, even if you are driving. Don't get me wrong, its rides very nice and the fact that it runs on batteries while stopped (until the batteries reach the minimum threshold) make for a warm fuzzy feeling while you are stuck in traffic around a bunch of gas guzzlers. That said, highway driving on this thing is not as good as advertised, 26 mpg is not accurate at all, driving 300 miles at a time I was able to get closer to 23. Acceleration can be very sluggish due to the extra weight from the batteries, and the latency between stepping on the accelerator and when you actually accelerate is maddening at times. As per my title, I would definitely say there are better vehicles for the money, although I bought a 2007 version, So maybe they've gotten better since then?"

"Overall we've been really happy with this vehicle. For its size it accelerates nicely, quite a change from the non-hybrid version. MPG has been a bit disappointing. I'm sure that's partly because we live in a cold climate and make a lot of short trips, before the batteries really have a chance to warm up. But mileage is still better than a conventional version. From a financial point of view, though, it makes it harder to swallow the hybrid price premium."

"Great car. Always starts in cold weather. Love the efficiency and quietness of the hybrid. Never been stuck anywhere(handles good in snow) and good on gas. 28-30mpg. Also plenty of room for kids, dogs and any kind of outdoor gear. No maintenance issues. Before I bought my Toyota I researched and talked to a few other people who had the same model. Always got thumbs up. Have never had any issues with recalls etc."

"As a vehicle that is supposed to be fuel efficent, this one isn't. Just returned from the dealer who said the car was running perfectly and that at 23.2mpg it was doing better than most. Also that he low mileage was due to the cold weather, 30-low 40's, requiring the gas engine to run more to keep the batteries and extensive electronics warm. No where in the sales material does it mention that this car will loose a third of it's mileage during the winter."

"We researched extensively & have owned many diffrnt autos. This is our favorite, most impressive auto. Drivng up Rocky Mtn. passes are effortless and transmission is almost undetectable. On highways, we hit 90 mph and felt like 35 mph. It's amazing to get at least double better gas mileage than any other SUV. WOW."

"Read up on all vehicles we were considering, mostly wagons or midsize suvs (to keep gas mileage reasonable). Drove RAV4 and CRV, then just for comparison drove the highlander hybrid. Ended up buying the hybrid. It had the right combination of space, features and gas mileage for my wife who drives mostly around town. In 3 months we have about 3800 miles about 80% of which is city, and are averaging between 25 and 28 mpg. Only 1 small problem of the rear radio speakers buzzing intermittantly. We love the handling, features and gas mileage which is about 10-12 mpg better than our old 2000 GMC Jimmy. We plan on keeping this car for 8 yrs which is the warranty on the hybrid system."
