Did not meet expectations from a Toyota.

First new toyota I've owned and didn't live to my expectations. Engine has tapping noise since first day. Rattling noise coming from rear right corner like if something is loose.

Great service at dealership ?confortable ride

The only complaint we have with this car is we have had difficulty with pairing our phone to the vehicle The phone pairs itself but there has been a strong echo to the caller on the other end The dealer has attempted to fix it to no avail There are no current updates as the car is too new.

Safest, most reliable car I have owned!

I love having the third row split - bench seat in the back, and it closes down very easily for more storage/carry area. The safety features are terrific, with the backup camera, blind spot indicators on the side mirrors, and automatic high beam lights/shut off to name a few of my favorites. The vehicle is easy to handle, and gets good gas mileage for an SUV.

I own a Toyota Solara I?m giving my granddaughter.

I want to move up to a bigger car but still wanted something that was efficient to drive.I wanted to buy a RAV4 but after driving a Highlander at the suggestion of the salesman, the Highlander was a better fit for my wants and needs.

Love this car

Fell in love with the car from the test drive . It's an suv that doesn't feel like an suv. Plenty of power, delivered smoothly by an 8 gear transmission.

Finest automobile I have owned or driven

I would recommend a 2017 Highlander to anyone contemplating a new or used vehicle purchase. From in city to cross country vacation driving, this is an outstanding car. Several reasons for my ownership satisfaction: exceptional ride, great road feel on twisting two lane highways to multi lane interstate, very quiet ride with not much road noise, roomy cabin but vehicle is so well engineered that it drives like a smaller more nimble car, feel secure with all the latest Toyota safety stds. and options, and gas mileage is also reasonable.

Spacious, Comfortable and Smooth Ride

This is the perfect SUV even for one person who needs space for all there junk and puppy. This SUV provides great pick up speed from moving in and out of traffic, a comfort smooth ride like a plane cruising with no turbulence, seats feel like my contour mattress and enough space for me and 6 other people pleasantly. I would wholeheartedly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle.
