Cheaper than My Lexus and Better!

A great value, $10,000 less than Lexus and the same engine and high performance! Also got butter soft leather interior with cooled/heated seats. My only complaint is the center console has raised plastic molded handles that are abrasive and rough, why did they not make it smooth, since it is an arm rest?!?

Best vehicle I have owned.

The Highlander has great styling and appearance. Driver and passenger comfort is excellent. Safety features are impressive. There is plenty of room for passengers and cargo. It is fun to drive. Value and reliability is outstanding.

The Best Vehicle for Comfort, Driving and Viewing

As, i am getting older, it is getting more difficult getting in and out of my pickup trucks and I knew I didn't want a car because they sit too low to the ground and are more difficult to see your surroundings when driving, and you basically have to crawl out of them, So with my new Highlander the viewing is grand, getting in and out is perfect no climbing or crawling. It handles beautifully as wells as being a beautiful vehicle. I am just vert pleased with my new vehicle. Happy happy.

Reliable car but...

I bought 2018 Highlander Limited AWD and it is a comfortable and reliable SUV and everyone here knows that, so I am just going to point out the negatives. - The new 8 speed transmission is jerky and annoying, I wish Toyota would have tested some more before releasing it. - The 295 hp engine feels like a 4 cylinder engine on normal mode. To switch to power mode your to fiddle with some controls and not straight forward. Even my RAV-4 has a single button Sport mode. Not that the power mode feels great either and I think my 2015 Sienna had better acceleration. - When you change all the settings to the way you like and switch off the engine and turn it on, bam all your settings go to default mode. That's all. No more rants.

Love the newest features!

This is the second Toyota Highlander that I?ve leased. It is very well made and has excellent safety options (ie. brake assist and lane assist) that the other Highlander did not have. I am extremely impressed with how quiet and smooth it rides, and how much interior room it has. Really awesome vehicle!
