Best car I have ever owned!

This car has EVERYTHING! I would go camping & could lay in the back and watch dvds. It even has a traditional outlet in the back so you can use it for: a hairdryer, electric pump to blow up air mattress, a microwave, etc! You could live in this car if you wanted to! I hate to even part with it because i barely ever had to fill it with gas. Only selling it because someone gave me a new car. I’m sure you’ll love it too!

SUV with 25gal per mile.

I guess a lot of these cars have Abs problems. It?s a 2600 part. The gas mileage was good. I got 330 miles per talk.

Great balance of comfort, reliability and perform.

Great vehicle for a family and everyday driving. Love the features and it will drive forever. Would definitely highlight my dealer, haha. Green Light Auto Wholesale specializes in EV and hybrid vehicles for the bay area!

Roomy,comfortable but expensive to own later

Lots of room, comfortable and gets decent gas mileage for its size. It tows a 3000 lb trailer quite well. My only gripe is once you get to 90,000 miles lots of parts are warn out. Struts,timing chain,steering components etc... They may go a number of miles past 100,000 but it will cost you.

Another great Toyota

I have owned numerous Toyota's but this is my first Highlander. Drives very smoothly, especially for an SUV. Great gas mileage, super simple and convenient controls, good visibility and exceptional comfort. My new favorite Toyota.

Great "family truckster"

We bought the 2009 Highlander Hybrid Limited used. It was our first hybrid and our first SUV. The car had many features and great value for the money.

Mountain driving and city driving meet Head On

Suprising up hill power. NIce feature. Good to know when the electric engine or gas engine are being used, or both. Great gas milage. Plenty of comforts. A bit squishy in tight moutain turns but that is what Sport pachages are for on 4Runners and Rav4s. A bit longer wheel base but responds well.

good SUV

Quiet as a church mouse. Good on gas too. I have personally owned this vehicle for about 3 years and was very impressed with the product.
