Nice ride. Handles very good in the snow.

This car is more then I need. Great ride has a lot of safety features. Handles well in the snow. Heated seats a plus, and can tow up to 5000lbs.

Best car I've owned!

This car has bells and whistles but not too many, seats are very comfortable, quiet ride on the highway, and more. You can barely notice the Start/Stop engine because it's so smooth compared to others I've driven. There is quite a bit of space too!

Love my Highlander

I absolutely love my 2017 Highlander. Aside from reliability and safety it has features that make it awesome. The third row optional seating is great when I need to fit extra people in the car, there’s room for my large German Shepherd in the back, and I love the blue tooth connection for my phone. It’s even pretty good on gas for a full size SUV.

This SUV is the top of the line, in my opinion.

It looks good, it drives like a car with the the options of a mini van for passangers. I would buy another one for my wife.

Simply Amazing!

This 2017 XLE AWD covered everything we needed for an SUV. Its a Certified used vehicle but it is in perfect condition and every component was checked and made sure by dealership that they all worked.

This Highlander was just a nightmare not reliable

I brought a new 21017 Highlander and all I had was problem with it had to trade it in after a couple of months. I was upside down on this when I got rid of it. No support from dealership all the repairs where high even thought I had it for a couple of months. I now drive a older Acura Honda suv a with no problems

Toyota Highlander. A joy to own and drive

A superb machine. Responsive engine. Powerful. Dependable. Comfy. Quiet cabin. Premium sounds system. This one is great on fuel consumption. Looks real good , too. I’ve owned two so far.

Good car

This is our family car. I have the xle 2017, which i will compare to my vw golf sportwagen 2016. Pros: execeptionally comfortable seats. Huge trunk behind second row. Powerful enough for size. Just right size between rav4 and atlas. Nice tray in dashboard. As my wife says, it’a a nice living room in wheels. Cons: sound system quality is poor. Info system is only ok. interior finish good but not great. A bot noisy on highway. Not at all zippy in town. Adequate but not fun driving experience. Overall it’s a good car for uts class, but i much prefer driving my sportwagen (which is too small for family trips!)
