Very Dependable
Bought my 07 Highlander brand new. 13 years ago. 2wd. Been extremely reliable. 70k miles. I didn't give miner 5 stars only because compared to 2021 vehicles it is dated. On hi way I get 25 -26 mpg. Local driving I've gotten 30 mpg a few times. I change oil every 4k. Trans fluid every 50k. Only repairs. Battery at 5 years. 2 sets tires. Original everything else. I have base model. Cons - window switches. And garage door switches not lit. Can't see at nite. After 13 years I'm getting a littles bored with it. Would like something bigger. I'm 5'10". 220lbs.

Most reliable car ever
Sturdy, spirited, fun, durable, efficient. Hard to think of much else to say about a mainstream SUV that is so well known. Glad we bought it!

Most reliable car I've owned
I'm at 378,500 miles--still running strong. No transmission work, no engine work, hybrid battery working fine. Have gone through tires and brakes, have replaced struts, some steering linkage work.

Best vehicle I've ever owned, hands down!
Bought it new 12 1/2 years ago, and now have 340,000 miles on it with nothing but routine maintenance aside from needing a new hybrid radiator at 290,000. Tight, smooth, rattle-free. Had my very first tune-up at 279,000 and was told that the plugs were only slightly fouled. Greatest vehicle I've encountered in 50 years of driving.

210K and Still Going Strong
I bought mine used in 2010 with 58K on it. I have minor repairs done - timing, new radiator, tires, etc. There was a recall on the inverter but replaced at no cost to me. I love the torque especially going over mountain passes. I love the comfort - I'm short and Toyotas are one of the few cars that "fit" me well. I've gotten my money's worth and more. I'm forever a Toyota Girl.

Great crossover even after all these years.
I've been looking at 2006-07 Highlander Hybrids and of the ones I've driven, they seem to be great cars. Very comfortable and fuel efficient. I just can find one with the right balance of price, options, condition, and mileage.

The most reliable
It is the best, most reliable and efficient SUV on the market. Within 6.5 years I own it had only 2 times had to bring it to mechanic.

Yawn. Yet another terrific Toyota review
We decided starting two years ago that we needed to drive Hybrids as much as possible, and to stop sucking up fossil fuels. (Ex-Californians, what did you expect?? LOL) The Highlander Hybrid has really lived up to it's stellar reputation. As a used car value, it is an incredible value both reliability and feature-wise; and we didn't pay the original 30k price for it (I don't think the purchaser's cried too much... it was expensive, but it was still a GREAT CAR). So far, I have found most of the tech information needed to do almost every bit of the major and minor work. And as vehicle, well.... it just rocks! Smooth, comfortable, powerful when needed, economical when not. Everyone in the family loves this SUV! For those considering I had a 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid previous, and the Toyota beats it in every way (except Highway MPG), and EscHyb was a great little truck! But for a little more money, the Toyota is just a whole lot better vehicle, quality and ride-wise.
