Another great Toyota in our family

We only buy cars once every fifteen years or so, and this is a nice step up from our ultra-reliable 2000 Camry LE. I'm looking forward to a minimum 17 years from this roomy SUV. We live in a place where the county just doesn't plow in the winter. All-wheel drive powered by a surprisingly lively 6-cyl will take care of that. Lots of room! And very comfortable seating. We also owned a 1986 Camry LE, and it contained the best driver's seat I've ever sat in... until now! Toyota went back in time and grabbed that seat. It's like being cradled by a great big comfy hand. All sorts of storage and hauling space, features galore. Does it sound like we're very, very happy? It should. We are.

Best car I've had!

I purchased my Toyota Highlander new a year ago. I couldn't be happier with it. It's a great looking car, it's extremely comfortable for the entire family, and handles wonderfully. I can't imagine driving anything else!

Best SUV I have owned

On the ride is comfortable the cabin is very spacious the third row of the bench seat folds down . I am 18 1/2 miles to the gallon , The sticker said between 19 and 21 which is a little inflated and it is difficult to reach the touchscreen controls from the driver seat unless you have incredibly long arm, other than that - I love it!

Just another example of outstanding Toyota Quality

The 2017 Toyota Highlander Limited that we purchased has fulfilled every expectation that we had. This is our first venture into the SUV market, I believe that anyone who is looking for a well-made high-end vehicle should look no further.

Wish I had discovered Toyota years ago.

The Highlander's safety features are outstanding. Perfecto. Only thing they need to improve on is a beeping noise when the car is off and the door is open. We like to get some sun while we are parked.

Eddie at Heritage

Heritage is a nice dealership. It think everything in finance went much smoother when I purchased from R & H. The only reason that I purchased was because of my salesman Eddie Mccrey. He was patient and willing to work with us to make sure we "got done". He was very knowledgeable and helpful. This is a special thank you for the outstanding job you did with us Eddie.

Love my Highlander

Got the Limited edition in the pearl white. Beautiful ride, smooth ride. Get the black leather interior with seat warmers! Great power and pick up. Bought new and needed a bigger SUzv like this as we're starting a family so it will fit everything!

The Best Midsize SUV

I own a 2016 Toyota Highlander Limited w/ Platinum package. The car is great in every way and I am overall satisfied with my purchase. Everyone of my complaints has been addressed in the mid cycle refresh 2017 model. If you are on the fence on buying new or used, I would suggest buying new if possible because it is the best even better!
