Most reliable car I’ve owned. Great performance!

I absolutely love this car! Just can’t afford to have two cars since my current job is giving me one for free. Very spacious and comfortable.

Great Family Car

Our 2017 Highlander is an XLE AWD that has been mechanically excellent and drives very nicely since we purchased it new 2.5 years ago. The standard safety equipment (Toyota Safety Sense) is a highly valued feature. 47000 miles so far with the original tires, brakes and only a fuel gauge problem that was repaired under factory warranty.

We have only driven it 100 miles from dealership.

It seems to be what we were looking for in a vehicle. The Highlander is one size down from the Van we currently own but seems to be large enough to meet our needs.

Very comfortable car and roomy

This car meets all my needs . Excellent family car. Plenty of room and offers a lot of extras. The panoramic roof and 3rd row seating is great.

Reliable SUV that seats 8

I owned two Highlanders in a row. Both were reliable, comfortable, able to transport multiple grandchildren and regularly received 24-25 mpg. It was amazing the building items that I could put in the back with the back row of seats folded out of the way. If you are interested in an SUV...give a Highlander a serious consideration.

Once you go Highlander, you never go back

Love the room. Love the third row & room in the back. Perfect for a family car. Good gas mileage. Love the body style. Love the features (roof, navigation, etc)

Have 36000 miles , happy so far

I'm happy so far. This car has given me no trouble. I would say the only down side is the heater direction on the floor of the driver side. My feet are cold. Never happened on other cars I've had. That's a small thing though but in general it's a great car.

Enjoy driving this car

Nice inside and out. Lots of safety features. Second row seat has room for 3 and kids in the 3rd row. Plenty of power if you floor it but a little sluggish if you don't. Wish you could leave "power" mode on all the time.

We just bought and are very happy with it so far!

Handles very well, comfortable with some great features! Still getting used to it! If it ends up being like our Venza, which we bought at Handy, we will be very pleased.

a great family car or commuting vehicle very safe

This car is a smooth safe and comfortable ride for all family members. There is plenty of room for cargo and passengers to enjoy riding to daily activities or longer trips. It is the safest car for driving and comfortability.
