A great car to own or lease

Handles great, lots of leg room. I feel safe driving it, while looking stylish. Comfortable, especially on long trips. Converting the third row of seating is quick and easy.

60/40 2nd row seat shakes terribly

Love it except for interior seating . The 2nd row 60/40 bench seat shakes terribly with or without seating in them . Toyota Service department said it was normal condition of like car. I would recommend but would caution about more interior seats shaking terribly

Just another throw away car

The car is narrow in width, so it rocks back and forth while riding in it.The seats are to small to sit on my shoulders hang off each side making the rider uncomfortable.

Best improved model. Lots of room

I love the highlander I used to only drive the for runner for the size however the highlander gives you both the feel of a car and truck and it fits my families needs. I wouldnt buy anything else

Reliable but boring.

Very reliable vehicle but an absolute bore to drive. My 2016 Honda Odyssey EX-L minivan is a race car compared to this and we all prefer driving it to the Highlander XLE

So Far so Great

We were replacing a car with 198,000 miles so, we plan to own this one for a while as well. After comparing our options we chose the Toyota Highlander for space, size, ability to tow our pop up, features, accessories and comfort.

Toyota's are usually very dependable

I am enjoying this car. I really like the color gray. Not sure about the black inside yet? The cart has a very smooth ride.

Best Bang for the Buck

as a 5 decade owner of GM vehicles, i am blown away by Toyota's customer care, safety features, and creature comforts...have had 0 problems after 15,000 miles and am very satisfied with this SUV. will probably buy another Toyota in a year or two.
