Smooth ride.

This vehicle is a much smoother and comfortable ride then my 2010 Rav 4 sport. You don?t feel every bump etc. Don?t get me wrong I loved my Rav but this has more room inside to seat comfortably and fits more passengers. I have more gadgets too. Everyone loves it.

Love this vehicle

This vehicle meets all my needs. I love the way it drives. This vehicle seems to have more room, which is exactly what I wanted. This is my second Highlander and I like this one even better.

2018 Toyota Highlander over 2018 Honda Pilot

Two things I DO NOT like: 1. TPMS does NOT show me which tire has low tire pressure!!! ugh!! Please correct this deficiency. WHY NOT show me which tire has the low pressure? I feel more secure knowing tbis information! I get in the car and kids climb in. We are headed for work/school... a low tire... Which one has low pressure? If Toyota displayed the low tire, I can quickly add air and get kids to work/school on time. 2. Will not let me speak a Text message when paired with my iphone. I can hear and see incoming text messages but cannot respond with voice command to reply to it. Bad! This feature works with android phones - NOT apple phone. I hate that as a consumer I get caught in the fight between Apple and manufacture. I would like Toyota to add Car Play. And when they do add this feature, I would like the software update on my 2018 Highlander.

Reliable and fun to drive

This is my second highlander LE Plus. I love everything about it. Toyota does a great job of making a safe vehicle that is built to last for a long time. I leased mine so I had my first one for 3 years with absolutely no problems. I love the pearl blue color of my new one. It has some pretty good features such as automatic high beams, which is great when you are traveling places that you might question if/when it?s ok to have your brights on. There?s a pedestrian feature that warns you if little kids Are too close. I like that the steering wheel will shake and the car will Steer you back to the middle of the road if you aren?t doing it purposely. Long drives can be tough so it?s a nice safety feature. The front seems a little smaller than my last one. I like it like that though. I feel like I have less blind spots and still lots of car to keep a person safe in an accident. The ride is smooth. I didn?t test drive the one I am in now, but I did test drive the model in different colors before mine came in. Another feature is that it will turn off at stoplights or if you are stuck in traffic. Everything else stays on and it starts back up the second you take your foot off the break. I believe this is to help save gas. Looks like the mileage is a little better on the 18 as well! There?s lots of room if you have a family or like to haul stuff. It does have a third row. I don?t use the third row because I like to haul stuff so I can?t speak to it well. I have sat in the middle row, which provides lots of leg room. Additional cup holders and plug ins for your electronics. I don?t have leather seats. I don?t mind it. The seats are very easy to clean if you do spill and don?t get so hot or cold. You just can?t go wrong with a Highlander. Great vehicle!

Highest Safety Rating of Any Car I've Owned

Compared the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Sante Fe, Chevy Traverse, and the Toyota Highlander, and after careful consideration, decided to get the Highland, even though I was almost sold on the Sante Fe's 5 year - 60000 mile warranty. But felt the Toyota's reputation for reliability and safety outweighed the stronger warranty.

Safety first. Great car. I love driving it

The 2018 Toyota Highlander is a great car. It has a ton of safety features. The car's computer is exceptional as it certainly "thinks" for itself. I feel safe and comfortable in it.
