Nice family car with good gas mileage

This car is spacious and runs well. Seating could be more comfortable. I'm happy with it but feel that it costs more than its worth. Would not buy new again.

The most comfortable and practical car we've had.

There is plenty of space for people or for storing belongings. This car has loads of features like back-up camera, heated and cooled seats, interior colored lighting, a massive moon/sun roof and more.

Great SUV

I had a Toyota yaris for 8 years before this and wanted a bigger vehicle. I decided on the highlander. The highlander drove smoother then what I was expecting for a SUV. It also is easy to drive. The weight of the vehicle seems to be equally distributed while driving. The seats are comfortable with plenty of space. I can fit my surf board with ease and my bike. The third row is easy to put down and up. It's well worth the price especially with all the features it Includes.

Love it except for one big thing

I love Toyota products and am on my second Toyota Highlander, the first being a 2014. What I love about Toyota is how comfortable they are to drive and ride in, and of course, their reliability. For me personally, I have a problem with it that I consider big... it is noisy inside at higher speeds do to a poor seal along the window. In my car, it's the front passenger window. My last Highlander was a little this way as well but I figured it was maybe just mine. Now with the 2016, I'm guessing it's a poor design. It's shocking to me that they wouldn't work harder on something that seems like it would be so simple to fix. I can't be the first person to be annoyed by listening to a whistle in my ear on long road trips. If it wasn't for that, I would consider it a near perfect vehicle.

The best car I ever had

Excellent car. I love it. I would recommend it to anybody and everybody. Very powerful and economical at the same time. No reason to buy Lexis, Mercedes, etc. This car can compete and bid all of them.

Terrific family vehicle

Very roomy. We put a Thule on top and just carted what felt like half our possessions on a family road trip. Everyone was comfortable, even in the back row seat.

Toyota Highlander 2016

This car met all expectations. I personally love the roomy interior and the overall length of the car. The cargo room is also fantastic.
