Hit a home run with this vehicle

We love our Highlander! It is the most comfortable vehicle we've ever owned. It is a dream to drive. I like the way it handles. It is spacious and will be an excellent travel vehicle.

2012 Highlander replaced by 2017 Highlander

This issue of Highlander 'feels' like a larger car despite it's great handling, eagerness, and power. It is quiet and comfortable and gives the driver the feeling of a competent, smooth, ride. Although it is my wife's car, I have driven it for about 1,000 miles and like it better than my Tundra for trips. Imagine. Being of the 'older' group, the thing is a bit too 'geeked-out' for what I feel comfortable driving, but I am learning to get along with all the options and special attributes.

Good Reputation about Highlander is not true.

2017 highlander is very noisy from engine,dashboard,windows. And Mpg is less than expected. I regret not to buy 2017 Honda Pilot.

Highlander

A very well made and designed SUV. It has a lot of room for a "big guy" like me driving. When you close the doors, it just sounds "solid". I am very happy with my purchase. It's a fun vehicle to drive!

A wonderful ride

Paul Wallace at Autonation Spokane Valley Toyota was knowledgeable and a joy to work with.. Test drove lots of cars including Acura RDX, Murano , Ford Edge and Lexus RX 350. THe Highlander was quieter, more spacious and offered the smoothest ride....speeding through wishbone curves maybe not......but most folks should not be doing that anyway.

Toyota quality, enough said

Only disappointment, no LED headlights. Has LED running lights but, why Toyota has LED's on the Camry and Corolla but not the 40K+ Highlander is a mystery.
