Most Reliable Car That I Have Owned

I purchased this SUV with just under 15,000 miles on it in 2006 and just about at 189,000 miles in July 2017. The 4 cylinder engine continues to be great on fuel economy and yet is very peppy! Great family vehicle and comfortable for this 6 foot 5 inch frame of mine. Longest owned vehicle for this 52-year old driver and less money spent on repairs than any other owned vehicle.

I love my Highlander

This was my moms car, and I still have drive it everyday. The transmission is a little weak because the car is so heavy and it's such a small engine. Other than that, it is very reliable and it handles very well in snow

Still the best vehicle

My 2004 Toyota Highlander runs as smooth and comfortable as it did the day I bought it and much better than the new vehicles I test drove this month. Great SUV giving you the comfort of a car but the cargo and all-wheel drive of an SUV. Has been very reliable.

2004 Highlander Limited

Bought new and it's been a great SUV. No major issues. Stock tires only lasted 30K. Third seat is great for my kids and their friends. I didn't realize how much I needed or would use it until after I had it.
