Best SUV I've ever owned.

The Highlander was perfect. It had everything that I needed and them some. It had so many great features and it was comfortable. I never had an issue with it and always maintained it.

Solid, reliable transportation.

We like it better than the 2017 Subaru we got last year. It is roomy, comfortable to drive on long trips and has lots of compartments to store things.

Great family car

Currently own the sport trim with leather seats and third row seating. Great, reliable, comfortable car. Only work I've had to do so far has been maintenance. Not the greatest on gas, average about 19 mpg, but it's got pep when needed. I've put 50k plus miles on it, currently is sitting at 166k miles and running like when I bought it.

Family trips

I have finally taken the step into a SUV from a sedan and a van. The highlander has all my needs covered. Plenty of room for legs and plenty of features to keep kids happy. And although trunk space is confined pack light and you will be able to squeeze 1 light pack for each person riding in the car. Cup holders and a sound system to bob your head to. Loved the power going up hills and taking turns with ease.

Very nice with power!!!

This car drove very nice, low mileage, good price and well taken care of from one owner. I just love looking at cars from here because they go through a car fax check on cars.

I love this SUV with 4 kids my wife & I we fit in it with plenty of leg room and cargo space. The reliability of the car is amazing, gas safer as well. Its the best SUV in America so far. If you need the best SUV this is the one you should ho for.

Toyota Highlander, Everything you heard it to be

Toyota quality is legendary and the Highlander fits right in. High mileage has little to do with the value of this car. It has many years of trouble free driving ahead.

Most awesome car I have ever owned

I am thoroughly enjoying owning the Hylander. It has the smoothest ride of all vehicles I have driven.

Best family vehicle

This car held its own over the past 10 years, reliable, stylish, and comfortable. Never had a single issue with it other than the fact that I couldn't keep it forever! Very smooth towing, very good on snow and ice, and very quick acceleration even for a V6. AWD was a very handy and trusted feature. Absolutely loved owning this vehicle, and will probably purchase a newer one soon!
