Toyota Highlander

"Good for low and heavy loads"

"Handles well in bad weather and around town. There is a wobble at 80 plus miles an hour and sometimes a jump when you press the accelerator to quickly pass something"

"Excellent acceleration, very noticeable when passing on two-lane roads. Handling is responsive & steady."

"Occasional lurching when slowing down and applying brakes."

"very good pick up; lots of power"

"The car hesitates part of the time. Don't like that when getting on interstate."

"Drives and rides so smoothly for an SUV but I attribute that to its being an unibody construction."

"Great acceleration. I won't consider anything other than a hybrid or electric car because of the amazing acceleration. The handling has always been a bit squishy, but it's a boxy SUV from Toyota, so that's expected."

"Hybrid assisted acceleration is excellent and also very stable. Handling overall also is excellent. Still."

"Accelerates nicely, and handles very tightly."

"great acceleration, handles well"

"Handles like a car, although the turning radius isn’t great."

"It is surprisingly powerful and handles well, but does not do well on ice and snow."

"Very good acceleration. Hard cornering can be a little "squishy"."

"For its age and mileage, I am impressed with how well it still handles, holds the road, handles bumps etc. Acceleration is still quite good when needed and the ride is quiet and it feels solid."

"Acceleration is sufficient, but handling is only OK."

"except in Braking gear it has more than adequate acceleration and keeps stable through turns and in the rain"

"Acceleration and handling excellent especially good driving in snow."

"Drives very well. We sometimes drive on non-paved roads and it handles well in those instances."

"While manufactured as an SUV, the vehicle's sedan origins resulted in what I consider ideal integration of handling, acceleration and comfort. GREAT CAR!"

"The electric motor provides excellent acceleration, especially when merging onto interstate highways where the prevailing speed limit is 70 mph. Excellent acceleration is also available when passing other vehicles."

"acceleration, handling, cornering, and braking are very good visibility is good but would be better with a rear view camera"

"Great Hybrid torque when needed."

"QUALITY. It does everything I require, from towing my Cycle a thousand miles, or carrying my Kayak. And ,although we rarely require them th third row seats do come in handy."

"Easy to handle and accelerates easily and drives smoothly."

"Handling is good. It's able to make turns fairly well. Acceleration is ok but nothing outstanding."

"Acceleration is great when needed!"

"Acceleration excellent at both low and high speeds. Handling quite good for a SUV."

"It's smooooth. Nice pickup even with the four cylinder, and handles like a new vehicle. Only problem after 11 years ownership is the need to replace the starter."

"Adequate power, stable, good mileage, easy to drive. Lots of room"

"great"

"THE ACCELERATION IS VERY GOOD AS IS THE HANDLING ON WINDING ROADS."

"very smoothe ride. good exceleration and braking"

"Acceleration is reliable, breaking is quick and steering is good. Never had a problem controlling the car in wind or rain. Not so good in snow but we have the 2 wheel drive. Would try for all wheel drive on next purchase."

"Very quiet, no hesitation or gear changes,lots of acceleration when needed, no wheel spin or skidding, excellent engine braking in mountains when needed."

"Long term reliability."

"Quick acceleration when needed,"

"This vehicle has a 4-speed transmission. Compared to newer vehicles with 6-speed transmissions, this vehicle has someone weak acceration in lower gears. Gas mileage suffers at highway speed becuase of the lack of higher gears."

"Acceleration profile and gear shifting is horrible. Very touchy when starting from a stop."

"3.3L engine provides improved acceleration and gas mileage compared to previous 3.0L engine"

"My Highlander turns on a dime (has great turning radius), can accelerate fast when I need to and handles smoothly and comfortably."

"Have 4 cylinder under powered"

"Love how it hugs the road and is roomy and comfy"

"Excellent stability and traction in snow and ice with the AWD."

"Good cornering. Very good acceleration when needed."

"Great acceleration even on hills. Extremely well for turns especially U turns."

"Excellent reliability!"

"Smooth ride like a car, quiet, and good power with the V6"

"good value, minor repairs"

"It was sold as a 4-wheel drive but it's really an all-wheel drive; sort of disappointing in the winter. My old front-wheel drive Camry handled better."

"Good low end acceleration to adequate acceleration freeway speed with good torque power. Average handling...safe and secure within limits (not sporty). Comfortable and quiet ride.."

"It's a bit wobbly and slow to accelerate"

"Handles very well - feels in control"

"Has the power and acceleration I want for highway driving and when pulling a travel trailer"

"V6 engine provides plenty of power in winter snow and up hills"

"My Highlander can get on the interstate easily without causing traffic problems and handles well in all driving situations especially heavy rain."

"The Toyota drives a bit rough. It does not take bumps or rough roads well."

"Very responsive, nice spotty feel"

"This car has a V6 engine with all-wheel drive and it accelerates very well when needed like entering freeway or passing cars. It drives very well in snow and in pouring rain no matter what tires are on it. Maneuvering this car around in a parking lot is easy. It is a pleasure to drive."

"Toyota has upgraded the seats, although they are not as good as the 2008 4-Runner. Noise and ride are OK, but could be better. Let's face it: This is a "baby bus.""

"except for th electric LEAF it is the quietest car I ever owned"

"Comfortable seats, even after 100k miles. Quiet ride, considering it's age."

"Visibility excellent. Very little engine noise. Very little tire noise. Excellent suspension."

"Everybody who rides with me marvels at how smoothly the vehicle rides, and how quickly it accelerates"

"leather bucket seats have seat warmers, adjustable, lumbar support, quietest car I had at the time,good handling and acceleration."

"Very comfortable seats and for an older automobile fairly quiet ride."

"Seats are comfortable and have lots of options to move them around. The ride is fairly quiet."

"The car is amazingly tight for its age and mileage - no rattles or interior noises. The seats are still firm and comfortable. It can still accelerate well when it is needed at both low and high speeds although there is a very slight slip in the transmission which I am monitoring but am not concerned about. The quality of the car has me feeling very good about Toyota. It is the first I've owned."

"A comfortable ride even on long trips; seats, legroom, headroom, quiet, heating & AC."

"Heated leather seats are comfortable in both summer & winter."

"The seats are comfortable. I also like that I can heat them during the winter. However, the ride is noisy. Too much outside noise comes into the car and makes it difficult to hear the radio."

"Seats are of average comfort, not bad, not as great as my previous vehicle which was a Volvo. The ride is good, the noise level is mostly fine with the exception of an occasional rear seat rattle that has existed since new,"

"It is all around an excellent vehicle, ride, comfort and reliability."

"considering the age of this Highlander I will definitely purchase another Highlander when the time comes. Very comfortable and reliable."

"quiet and comfortable feel in total control"

"The ride is very smooth, like riding in a sedan. The seats are still very comfortable."

"I LOVE my Highlander, it is my trusty steed and hope to never part with it"

"The Highlander has a very smooth ride and is very roomy inside with comfortable seats"

"easy to get in and out seats are comfortable-easy to adjust to satisfactory position-lumbar adjust good remains comfortable on longer trips rear seating is comfortable-good for 2 adults with reasonable leg room inside is fairly roomy controls are good and easy to reach ride is good although bumps can be a little jarring corners well with little roll not very happy about the amount of wind noise when traveling at high speed"

"excellent ability to enter and exit vehicle. Noise level too loud at high speeds Ride excellent for my age and size"

"very comfortable seats. driver's seat has multiple adjustments. bun warmers are handy in the winter"

"Good seats, quiet ride."

"The comfort level is good, not great."

"Material seats easy to clean and have maintained great support since purchased the vehicle new. Ride is comfortable with low noise level good enough for easy conversation. The seats tend to get too warm when seated (in hot weather)."

"This vehicle has a third seat, which I haven't used in many years since it is only useable for children or very small adults. Access to this seat is also feasible for children. Otherwise all other seats are comfortable and easy to use. Noise level in cabin is low at highway speeds."

"3rd row seats have own heating control, all seats and belts are roomy and comfortable. Moon roof has various settings and works like a charm, great way to ventilate without opening windows! Road noise is minimal. Seat levels are accessible to my friends with walking handicaps."

"We make long trips (500mi) a couple times a year and find the Highlander quiet, and easy on the backside and back. We don’t hear much from the rear seat passengers either even when we load it up with 3 early 20-somethings."

"NOISE AT HIWAY SPEED IS A BIT HIGH. SEAT SPACE COULD BE A BIT MORE."

"Very comfortable ride both in the front and back - tall adults can sit in the back comfortably."

"adjustability if seat"

"Seats are too short. They don't provide sufficient leg support."

"A quite, comfortable, smooth ride over the 9 yrs of driving it. I just replaced the shock and brake this yr. Best car I have ever owned."

"My leather seats are always comfortable and they have heaters which are awesome when we are at our Tahoe house in the winter. I can adjust the temperature to exactly what I want and the dash shows the temperature outside and what I have set it to inside. It is quiet and rides smoothly."

"Smooth ride, stable handling. Superior to most."

"Seats are very comfortable in long distance driving. Great back support. Passengers comment on the quiet ride."

"Noisier than I would like."

"Unlike most SUVs, this car has a Camry chassis instead of a truck chassis so the ride is so comfortable and the height of the vehicle is just right for ease of getting in and out."

"Its just a well made comfortable SUV."

"Seats aren't the most comfortable I've had, but they are ok. Ride is awesome for a mid-sized SUV. Noise is minimal (great). Climate control will coolnentire vehicle, and then some, even in my south florida summers."

"Comfortable seats, great all around visibility, good, large, external mirrors, reasonably good MPG on trips, very reliable, sit up high which enhances visibility, space for everything we need to spend 2 months in Florida"

"Noise level and ride could be bettter"

"I'm a big man (6'2" tall and 300 lbs.) and this vehicle is very easy for me to get in and out. It is very comfortable for a big guy like me, I don't feel crowded."

"Base of seat could be a bit longer for maximum comfort (and I'm an average 5'11""

"I think the ride could be better (bear in mind it has 102,000 miles) on the original struts/shocks. I think most of the problem is with the Michelin tires-up to about 15,000 miles, the ride is good and quiet. After that the ride is harsh and noisy-this has happened twice with the Michelin premium tires."

"There is excessive road noise. New tires helped, but it's still not a quiet vehicle."

"The seats are comfortable and the backseat is very spacious so passengers are comfortable as well."

"There needs to be more leg room for taller people"

"I think the driver's seat is not very comfortable for driving long distances. It is OK for short distances."

"air conditioning ride nice interior"

"The car is the perfect size for a man 6' tall, meaning ease of ingress and egress. I can look over the top of the car, the sightlines are very good, and only wish I could buy another one of the 4 cylinder variety. No, they increased the height and breadth of the car, and lost me as a customer. Also, no more 4 cylinder engine."

"Seats somewhat stiff."

"Outside noise even with windows closed. Comfortable, easy to enter and exit."

"The car is nice looking, handles well and is very reliable. The gas mileage is not great."

"Noise free - very comfortsble ride - smooth - quiet"

"Seats uncomfortable on long rides."

"Probably one of the best vehicles I have owned. For a mid-sized SUV very comfortable, noise and ride above average."

"The vehicle has, essentially, operated flawlessly without any repairs...only scheduled maintenance. Inside and out (fit/finish, moldings, materials, etc.) of the vehicle has little wear to show since 2007."

"I have owned Toyota since 1979 and they consistently give me 225000 to 250000 reliable miles of service before I trade them in. All have needed normal maintenance; however, the 2007 Hylander has required more repair work since the 200000 mile mark than all the others I have owned."

"I've been driving this car since 2006 and it has given me reliability beyond any other car I've ever had."

"Very Economical."

"Excellent value for the money. Purchased new and currently have over 285,000 miles on it. Only had one repair at 284,000 miles to replace the alternator. All other work was routine maintenance."

"It is a hybrid and should have good resale value. Very good mileage for an SUV."

"With regular maintenance, it has been a very reliable car with few problems."

"It's been absolutely great! Great ride, great to drive, surprisingly quiet, and reliable. Had it 11 years and can't find a reason to trade it; still looks good, both inside and out."

"Excellent value for what was paid. Very well built. Ride and performance is still as good as when purchased."

"We feel we got excellent value in that we have had no major repairs in 108000 miles. We replaced our battery only 2 years ago and our brakes have been replaced (rear only) just recently. This has been a very serviceable and durable car. Our car still retains a high resale value."

"After 11 years, the Highlander still drives like a new car, and looks like one. It was a great buy."

"Other than one that was covered by Toyota, we have had zero problems with our Hybrid Highlander - at well over 200k miles, it i going strong."

"I have had my car for 10 years and it has been very reliable. I have only had normal wear and tear repairs."

"Great reliability. Almost 200,000 miles without any major problems."

"It's a great car, but a lot has changed since 2007."

"Reliable"

"Great value. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned"

"We bought this new in 2007 and have done routine maintenance and it is extremely reliable."

"The best car I have ever owned. 154,00 miles with NO Prob lems!"

"The 2007 Highlander hybrid has mostly been a reliable vehicle with good gas milage. This year as the car approached 140,000 I had some fairly expensive repairs consisting of torn control arm bushings that necessitated the replacement of the control arm, and a module that controls the ABS had to be replaced as well. About a $1500 repair per each from the dealer."

"This is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned! For me, reliability is the most important factor and my Highlander has never let me down. I’ve had it 11 years and the only money I’ve put into it was for regular maintenance and tires. It drives like a car and is very stable in snow and rain. I plan to continue driving it a few more years then replace it with another Highlander."

"extremely reliable and very functional"

"Comfort, handling and visibility is very good."

"Low maintenance cost and low per mile cost."

"Great car; right size suv; easy to maintain;"

"Excellent choice. Love it."

"had manufacturer rebate tested price against outside sources and got a better price than all"

"good ride and no problems"

"I bought my car through the credit union auto advisor. They were able to get it for a much lower price than at any dealer and with additional options."

"Price was excellent and it has held its value very well. Vehicle reliability has been excellent."

"I got a great deal for this car. I felt like it was a very worthwhile cost for the comfort and the amount of trunk space."

"The best vehicle I have owned. Very low maintenance required, and very dependable! 180,000 miles and would drive it across the country tomorrow if needed. 8-)"

"Excellent value in a used vehicle"

"I have had Toyota products since 1980- don't have many problems with them and get great service and repairs in a prompt manner with good service personel."

"Never had to do anything but maintenance until 150k when the alternator failed."

"Not a very comfortable car"

"Great car in every respect for average retired senior"

"This SUV gets great gas mileage is easy to maintain, We just had it serviced at 92000 and that is the first time we ever had it back to a dealer for service. We hope to keep it another 10 years."

"Very dependable."

"Solid, reliable, dependable"

"It is a bottom end car. Serves my purpose well. I use it to haul and transport wood and tools. Serves my purpose very well"

"The Highlander has been a good value. I have had it for ten years. The biggest issue so far is air leaking from around the rims of the wheels. I've talked to technicians and they say with the newer aluminum wheels they have a tendency to corrode around where the tire seats in the rim. No other real issues."

"Extremely reliable and great vehicle even after 10 plus years."

"Exactly what we were looking for. Solid, dependable, roomy with good looks and great deliverability. 106,000 problem free miles."

"Still a very good vehicle after ten years and 120,000 miles."

"I was lied to by the dealer and did not get what I thought I was getting. We have loved out Highlander and believe in Toyota products. We just won't by from Menlove Dodge/Toyota of Bountiful, Utah"

"We bought this new in 2007 and have gotten 10 great years out of it. Five years with no car payment and major repairs needed. Plan to keep it 10 more years."

"10 years old and still looks and drives like brand new."
