I'm inclined to take the long way home.

I bought the Highlander for a number of reasons, cargo space, comfort, seating. I don't like road and wind noise and this SUV is very quiet on the road. I can listen to music without high volume levels. I can throw my bikes inside when I need to drive to a trail head. I carry musical equipment around for my band. I have seating for friends for a night out. And it is a very comfortable ride.

Best SUV Ever

I love my new Highlander, this is my second one and as always they have great handling and comfort and reliablility. However this 2018 has even more safety features and with power seats even more adjustments for the driver seat. Great car for in town handling in all weather, but mostly love for long drives - great handling and very comfortable.

What's not to like

This is my first foray into SUVs. My new Highlander offers a very comfortable, smooth and QUIET ride. I haven't used all the features of the screen but so far I've found ease in operating it. The Bluetooth is magical!

Perfect vehicle for us

This 2018 Highlander is perfect for our needs. The high-tech safety features and fun features are unexpected bonuses. The last five vehicles I bought have been Toyota products and they just keep getting better each time. So long and goodbye, Government Motors (GM). Toyota didn?t need to take the government bailout a few years back and now my loyalty is with Toyota.

Comfortable and reliable

Exceeds my expectations and ticks all the boxes I wanted for a new vehicle, has a great turning radius which is necessary on mine roads and off-road.

Still a Great Vehicle

Replaced my 2009 Highlander with a 2018. New one is better than my old one that I loved. It was extremely reliable. New one has even more interior room. All the safety and technology you could ask for. Great value.

Happier with the Highlander!

This car is perfect. It has all the safety features in my preferred model rather than making me purchase an upgraded Pilot with a video system I don't need.The Highlander SUV rides like a luxury vehicle rather than a truck. The Navigation system is easy to use as is the bluetooth phone system. I am extremely pleased with my purchase my local Toyota dealer.

So far so good!

I?ve wanted a Highlander with this color combination for a long time & was thrilled to get it at a price I could afford. Very smooth ride. Plenty of leg room, especially in the back. Easy to maneuver.
