Toyota Highlander!!! Love it.

This vehicle was everything I hoped for and more. Smooth ride and luxurious leather interior. The dealership was very helpful in assuring I got the best deal possible.

Best SUV ever.

My Toyota Highlander has been the most reliable SUV I have had. Absolutely love this vehicle and plan to get another. Would not purchase anything other than Toyota at this point.

One of the most reliable cars I have owned

This has been a great vehicle. The styling and overall drive of the vehicle is great. The only real problem is that it will not stop running so well as I really want to get a new vehicle, but hard to justify.

Great vehicle! Super reliable!

We have owned our 2008 Toyota Highlander for 10 years and put 153,000 miles on it. It has been the greatest vehicle we have owned. We have had to do nothing to it beyond regular maintenance (tires, batteries, oil changes, etc.). I would recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for this type of car.

Over priced

I drove this pig for some time and had the cost of service and repair estimated. It was overwhelming and interior quality is terrible knobs fall off and entire unit must be replaced. Aftermarket parts that should cost 16.95 are 395.00 really. It capitalizes on the Rav 4 history but doesn't measure up. I would definitely stay away from this beast

Best reliable and comfortable family vehicle

This model highlander has been the best balance of function (nice storage and cup holders galore), reliability, comfort features, economy and enough room for a family of 5.

Most reliable car I have owned!

This car met all our needs as a family of 4! There is plenty of legroom in the front and back seats. The 3rd row was a bonus whenever we had friends and family visiting us. The white exterior with beige interior looks very clean unlike the darker colors. The car is very reliable and had never any issues. I would have kept this longer, however my wife needs something newer!

Nicest car I have owned.

This car is beautiful. It has plenty of legroom and it is comfortable for my family of 6. It drives smooth and is good on gas. It is worth every penny spent and the price is fair.

Very reliable suv

This car has been the best vehicle we have ever owned. The vehicle is ten years old now and has been a solid vehicle. Besides brakes and oil changes we have had to do nothing to this vehicle. It starts every time and gets us comfortably to where ever we need to go! We travel up north from PA every year over 1000 miles and this vehicle drives and is as comfortable as the day we bought it. We have a family of seven and we all fit comfortably. The rear trunk space is small on this model when the third row seat is up, one of the only complaints.
