wife loves it!

don't mess with her Highlander -she loves it for all the right reasons and the color is really cool. I have to get permission to take it some where. I'm sure we will drive it for many years.

Not ready to downsize.

My wife's car. She wouldn't downsize to a RAV4. HIGHLANDER has better pickup up than her 2009 Santa Fe and of course a lot more gadgets. It'll take her years to figure everything out. Lots of leg room and storage. The ribbed hard rubber floor mats and back of 3rd row seats looks like they'll last forever. Many safety features. Lane assist beeping will keep the driver awake. The on/off engine at stop lights can be overridden by not pressing hard on the brake pedal. We've had the car for only 1,000 miles and so far my wife is happy...life is good.

Best SUV on market!

This SUV is stylish, fun, smooth driving, with lots of space for passengers and cargo! I am so in love and have only owned for less then a week! Toyota has some of the best designs and features people look for in their vehicles! Couldn't be happier.

I only had the car a little over a week, but so far all is going great. My sales guy Dwight was great. Marice was equally as great. There was a slight delay in the deal but it ended well. I would highly commend your establishment.

Best Car I ever owned

I am writing this review only based on my experience these are not just words it's a true fact that I gone through. Let me begin by telling you I traded in my 2014 Honda Odyssey at 6000 km five months after it was purchased the odyssey start making some very loud clocking noise on bumpy roads took it to the dealer they changed some parts and noise was no more present at 20,000 km I was driving on highway at 110 km/h had to press the break Little hard and steering wheel start shaking almost took me off the road took it to the dealer all brake system front and rear had to be changed at 30,000 km I was driving on Highway front windows were open half way when suddenly rear window broke into 1 million pieces we felt somebody shut us from the rear end at 35,000 km took the car to the dealer for an oil change and they told me to replace all four tires as they were not safe to drive anymore they were worn out what a Honda Quality I was fed up sick and tired with this and I decided to look for a new car I did some research Also many friends suggested me to check out the Toyota I went to Toyota Town local dealer here in London Ontario and this Highlander catches my eyes immediately I took it for test drive me and my wife both felt in love with is car and we decided to make the purchase and let me tell you the different between this one and the Honda Odyssey is like day and night now I feel I am driving a premium vehicle if you are looking for SUV this is the car you should definitely stop at your local dealer and check it out you will be glad you did this vehicle rides so smooth so nice I can't believe the different between the previous one I had and this one I regret and scratch my head and I ask myself why I haven't look Toyota before but I spend all this much money on a junk my kids and family can't wait to go somewhere with this luxury car and feel the quality ride I got the entry level LE front wheel drive and it is worth it every single penny.

Best Looking Car I've Owned

I purchase the Toyota Highlander to replace a 2009 Mazda CX-9. The Highlander styling is superior to the CX-9. As far as shifting is concerned I am not that happy with the lag I get when slowing down and then accelerating . Probably since it has an 8 speed transmission. The CX-9 was smoother with only 6 speeds. The ride is smooth. The AC is lowd and makes me have to turn up the radio volume. The blind spot monitoring is good but there is no audible chime when BSM is working and you put on the turn signal. Mazda had this. Overall, I am satisfied with my new car.

Looking for a car that can seat 7 or 8?

This car is sleek and gets decent gas mileage while providing 7 or 8 passenger capacity! The new 2017 has many safety and convenience features included in the base price! Drives smooth which I prefer compared to the 4 runner that drove more like a truck! The 4 runner head space in the third row would only be comfortable for small children! I'm 5'8 and I couldn't sit up straight therefore the Highlander wins this match in my book! Hope this helps, your search!

The car is everything I wanted and more. It has AWD and 8 seating capacity.If only it has blind spot monitor and navigation system. But that's an upgrade!
