2018 Toyota Highlander consumer reviews

Large doors and front seats. Easy to get in and out. You have to pull past the protective bollard at the gas pump as to not ding the edge of the door. A lot of safety bells and whistles for an older car. Can tow with the best and high enough to take fishing and hunting. Good power. Feels safe in winter driving with in reason. If it gets icy or the snow gets over 5” I stay home. Operational noise is not annoying even when pulling into traffic or down shifting going up a steep hill. It gets almost 21 miles per gallon. I have no intention of spending thousands more on a vehicle to get better gas mileage. It’s paid off. I’m retired and put about 8000 miles a year on it. It still runs like new. I would love to keep it as long as I can. It also can haul pretty much everything I need.

I loved this vehicle until I tried to transport 3 grandchildren in it. I bought it because of them for its safety and reliability. But I have tried every possible car seat configuration and unless you are 100 lb to fit between the seats without moving them, it is a nightmare! You think you have it figured out then there isn’t a tether attachment for that seat or there aren’t anchors for that seat. There are 3 tether attachments and 3 sets of anchors so you either stand on your head to get the kids in (and then the one in the back has very little room for his feet) or you keep one rear facing (no tether, use the seat belt instead of anchors) for 3 across the middle seat, until one of them gets big enough to change the rear facing out for a booster. The only other way is to make sure you buy one with middle seat captain chairs! Cautionary tale I wish someone had told me. This has turned my purchase of this vehicle into a regret.

This is my second Highlander. The first was a 2008 model and still in the family running great. This model has also served me well. I have 75,000 miles on it. I bought new tires at 60,000 and just had the battery replaced 3 weeks ago. The car runs great!

Smooth ride with tons of safety features Great gas mileage Roomy Only dislike is no Apple car play. Will buy another in future 5 stars

the car meets all my needs except the rear seat room is very difficult to get to plenty of storage room. great safety features. good gas mileage.

Poor handling and loose steering. Uncomfortable ride, noisy. 5000 lb towing capacity is false advertising because car is not wired for trailer brakes. 3rd row seat is midget-sized.

So far I love the vehicle! It is a luxury, quiet, smooth driving experience. A huge reason for choosing the Highlander was because of the Toyota reputation for quality, safety and reliability.

Excellent economically and overall built. I like the driving capabilities and Space along with inheritor built as well. For the 7/8 seater and gas economically Miles per gallons is super uselfull. Would definitely recommend to friends

Comfortable ride, lot's of leg room and plenty of space for the kids, the dog and everything else. Smooth drive, quiet interior and lots of places to put things. I highly recommend...and I've owned a few vehicles by multiple companies.

Reliable and comfortable vehicle. We own 3 Toyota Highlanders. 2003 with 240k still runs strong. 2011 with 167k and drives great. 2018 with 20k and hope to put many miles more!
