Reliable Car for the Family

This car has efficient safety features that can protect anyone driving this car. The backing alerts and sensors are very prompt. It is comfortable, user friendly and straight forward with regards to managing the dashboard. Over all, the appearance is also amazing!

Wish I had shopped more...

Traded in my 2008 Highlander limited for this 2017 version. Since it was a newer version I assumed I would like it as much or more. Unfortunately I find the seats uncomfortable, the sound system is lacking, and the gas mileage is terrible. I?m getting 20mpg with mixed city/highway driving when it advertised 23/28. The car has sluggish pick up on top of it. I have been very disappointed with this car and the only things I like in it are the variable speed cool seats and the blind spot monitoring lights. Otherwise I wish I could get my 2008 back.

Great choice

The Highlander has been a great vehicle for a travel hockey family. Great on gas and comfortable. Space for all!

Great SUV with wonderful safety features standard

We love this vehicle! It is very comfortable for both long and short trips. It has so many safety features that it took me a couple hours with the owners manual to appreciate them all...that was a primary reason I wanted this car as they all became standard in 2017. The other reason is the dependability of Toyota vehicles. My entire family has driven Toyota's for many years and no one has had a bad experience. The last two I had had over 200,000 miles when I traded them! The only thing I don't particularly like is the 8 speed transmission as it seems to search some when I accelerate, but I do like the 24 MPG I get which is 4 MPG better than the 2007 Highlander I traded in.

I found a perfect fit!

I shopped around for several months with a list of about 5 requirements that had to be met in my new vehicle. My Highlander met those 5 plus so much more!
