2009 Toyota Highlander consumer reviews

This car is awesome and it meets all of my families needs. Has plenty of leg room, lots of cupholders, and storage compartments.

Very comfortable, room for the whole family. Rides very good. Loved it so much gave it to my son & family. They love it too

Superb V6 performance and handling. Very spacious inside. I'm hoping for the legendary Toyota reliability!

So far, great on gas mileage and a very comfortable ride with good performance. Lots of great features on the limited edition.

4 cyl Highlander seem too heavy for 2.7L engine but don't worry, it is not that bad. In reality, there are only 2 conditions where I felt shortage of engine power. 1 is highway passing. 2 is driving in mountainous areas. Around town power is adequate even with 4 passengers on-board. Being lightest CUV in its class helps. It wasn't perfectly reliable, after all it fell victim of standard Toyota problem - water pump, which was replaced by warranty. And if not for 7 recalls, ranging from bad sticker on door seal to possible fire from window switch, the car is perfectly reliable. The material quality is good, there is no rust under it. Original Dunlop tires were the worst tires I ever had on my car. The comfort is very good, rear seat is wast and middle person will not sit on the bump. Driving long hours will not hurt your back. But driving it, generally gives little rewards. Steering is numb, imprecise and road feel non-existent. The transmission is happy to switch gears even when you wish it didn't. Blue tooth is missing on this trim but you get second row vents. This is a car that will make your family life easy but you give up driving experience for that.

Went from a 2009 Camry with 127,000 miles to 2009 Highlander with 85,743 miles. Love the Toyota brand so was confident this vehicle would fit my needs and I haven't been disappointed. Not crazy about cloth seats-they pick up everything- but love the roominess and the very comfortable ride.

Traded my 2004 lexus Rx330 for 2009 Highlander Hybrid. I started to drive for Uber and the Rx was killing me on gas. The Highlander had 64k on it, now 9 months later i have 100k. Not 1 single problem, looking to get over 200k!

Bought my 2009 Toyota Highlander 3 years ago with 77,000 miles on it. I traded in my 2009 Mazda 3 hatchback (also a very good car) because my wife and I needed more room for our growing family. The space inside for toting kids and/or groceries is excellent. The ability to change the seats at your leisure also comes in handy when hauling different types of cargo on a daily basis as well as on family vacations. Reliability has been top notch. Other than changing the oil and brakes, we haven't had a single issue with the vehicle. Ride is smooth, and the 4 cylinder engine is more powerful than you'd think (Most come with the 6cyl. engine). MPG for an SUV of this size is phenomenal. We average 22 in the city and 27 on the highway. I also like the option of having a third row just in case we needed it. It's perfect for young children and can even fit nimble adults for shorter rides (longer rides are doable for growing teens). However, if you don't need the 3rd row, you can fold it down and gain a ton of cargo space in literally 10 seconds. Excellent, excellent, excellent car! I've always been taught that you get what you pay for. It's definitely true for the 2009 Toyota Highlander. Take a look!

It has everything i was looking. it is reliable. It is comfortable. it good on gas. It is perfect for New England weather. It has everything I wanted.

Bought this 2009 limited highlander one month ago. Ride is very quite, gas mileage is better than expected. Handles great, sound system is excellent. This highlander has 32,000 miles on it, looks and smells like new. I expect many years of problem free ownership.
