2001 Highlander

My daughter brought this Highlander in 2001 in Houston, Tx she drove it too Atlanta, Georgia for Job transfer. I drove it from Atlanta, Georgia too San Antonio, Texas. She drove this Highlander everyday(6 years) and then she married a man in Richmond, Virginia and I drove this Highlander from San Antonio, Texas to Richmond, Va about 1500 miles in two days. About a year later the transmission locked up at 252,000 miles engine was still strong. She drove it for 11 years and at 2013 brought another Highlander. They told me at the time the Highlander was on the Lexus assembly..

Beautiful Ride

A wonderful car that is comfortable with a well planned interior and an exterior that is honestly one of the most attractive in design that is available from any carmaker. My only complaint is that the voice recognition does not understand me despite going through the appropriate "training".

5th Highlander soon

I have done much checking on other brands, but am finally coming back to the Highlander. This will be my 5th one since 12/24/2002, but this one will be the top of the line, and at my age, will have to last me forever. I have had no problems or recalls, and the navigation systems are a priority item for me. I always study the Consumer Reports, etc. before I buy.

Smooth Ride and love the comfort

This SUV is awesome. It rides very smooth and the comfort is great. It has so many new features with blond spots, navigation, it pretty much drives itself.
