2001 Toyota Highlander consumer reviews

I would say that this car it amazing and nice, but also this car has a lot of maintenance like coming up with some check engine lights, also if you replace your stereo to a newer one please check your wires and where's connected to on my driver side, there a weird sound when I turn on the stereo but it goes away when I turn up the volume or turn it off. Without those issues I would say this car is a so-so its still good after 20 years, would I recommend this car? yes, Only the ones that are properly taken care of. Very reliable.

I purchased my reliable Highlander on September 13, 2001, (I never forget, YES 2 days after the NY attack). This car went everywhere. In 2009 and 2011 I drove my two kids out of the hospital in it when they were born. I sold it (in less than one hour) on May 2019 with 289,000 miles. Never had any major issues, probably the worse was a CV joint. With regular maintenance it can go many more miles.

I purchased my 2001 Highlander with 125,000 miles 5 years ago and have taken it cross country multiple times. Delivering food in college and never once had a breakdown except for an alternator at 240,000 miles. Other than scheduled maintenance I have never had to replace anything. No car beats this even for it being a 4 cylinder.

This is a replacement vehicle for my college age daughter. Toyotas are famously know for dependability, I have owned quite a few. Got this one checked out by my mechanic, says it's in great shape for an older vehicle. Great interior, great visibility, handles very well, nice, smooth ride and quick brakes.. Maintain it and the engine should last for many more miles!

Perfect car for commuting . - reliable and safe - fun to drive and quiet - love the handling and in the snow it plows through

Purchased my 2001 Highlander in 2004 from a dealer. Was really impressed how it drove and i become the family car for years to come. Mostly just maintenance like brakes and oil. Had only one issue and it was AC controls which would in winter blew cold air. So I did a research and repair a wire that comes loose from control unit. Fixed almost for nothing (solder wire back ) Dealer want like $600 to replace unit. Otherwise it was solid vehicle with great ride plenty room in 2 nd row seats and decent trunk. Even pulled a utility trailer without any issues. Unfortunately I have sold the vehicle in 2011 with still low mileage for something '' better". What a bummer I have realized over time.

This vehicle has really held up well. With about 300k on it...have only ever done maintenance items. The build quality is excellent. Unfortunately, it likes oil added pretty much every gas tank. We're just accustomed to adding a quart...it's not a big deal anymore. The paint and exterior have held up well. Recently had it detailed and it looks new again! Couldn't part with it...so now the kids are putting their miles on it. Gave it 4 stars due to the oil consumption and the original price was quite high as I purchased the limited edition 4wd 3.0l v6

Older 2nd vacation home vehicle. Have done minimal maintenence over last 7 yrs. Car runs great except for road noise apparently caused by tire quality.

This met all of my needs. Very comfortable, reliable. Could not ask for a better used car. JBL system a very nice sound system. Added a Kenwood stereo.

So versatile as an SUV and Utility vehicle, yet rides like a car and economical as well. Plus the fact that they were made for Golden Retrievers! Well, sort of. I've put 372,000 miles on mine, without a rebuild, and I'm confident of 400K at least!
