Toyota Highlander

"The car luches when stepping on the gas after a stop. Acceleration is jerky. Handling around corners is a little squirrely compared to my old Honda Pilot."

"Does not accelerate as well as I expected."

"Nice power from the V-6, but it comes on pretty abruptly. Certainly not like an old 2003 Lexus ES300 that I still drive (with 187K miles on the clock). Handling is a big wierd from time to time, but can be adjusted to. The Female Command Post at home at first disliked out $40K+ purchase, but now I think she has adapted to it. We pay you $705 a month to own this vehicle and for the most part it has been good. Bruce"

"Great handling and acceleration."

"Occasionally, from a start or very slow speed, the engine "stalls". Have to pump a couple of times to get accelerator to respond. Have asked service dept to check out, and they said "we can't get it to do it". I asked them to keep the car and drive it for several days to experience it, but they wouldn't."

"I drive from Georgia to Oregon - the car is great for that. I don't drive it around town (too large and bulky). The car handles very well on the roads and I particularly like the ability to take on small, rural, underdeveloped roads"

"Although tis car is smaller than the van, it handles as if it were the larger of the two. And for the cargo space, a van would have been a better value."

"Vehicle wants to slightly drift at highway speeds"

"No problem with acceleration & handling, like it."

"Very comfortable and roomy. Acceleration is responsive and braking is very good. It seems to decelerate as it coasts, which is a plus if it actually does. Doesn't seem to lean much on turns or curves."

"I was amazed last winter how well this SUV drives in deep snow with "Snow Mode" engaged."

"very good acceleration and handling"

"drives and feels very much like my grandfather's Cadillac when I was a child. It was a treat to ride in the Cadillac."

"Pricey."

"handling is a little sloppy with under and over steer"

"Handles very well for a large SUV"

"Car tilts when making turns and I have to hold on"

"Good power. Easy handleing."

"it does not response when you press the gas petal for several seconds and the engine roars with little pressure on the petal."

"you feel secure and confident the vehicle will get you to your destination safely, particularly in the winter"

"The driving and road handling are wonderful. This is a big reason why we bought this car."

"Seems soft, like I'm separated from the steering, The brake pedal sinks like a master cylinder is failing. Toyota said its just the way they work."

"Good: smooth on the road, handling, room, gas mileage, solid feel on road. Bad: blind spot at left outside mirror."

"It drives like a tank. There is no nimbleness and pulling into a parking place, takes way too much room."

"Feels very much like driving a comfortable sedan, feels safe and accelaration is great. Also seating higher up makes it a very good vacation traveling vehicle."

"Drives jerky when towing trailer"

"Mpg less than 2009 ?? WHY ACCELERATION NOT AS GOOD TIRES OME HORRIBLE will need to replace them by 50,000 ( same type of driving lot of hoghway) Brakes will need by 50,000"

"The acceleration and handling of the Highlander upon entering an interstate highway is reliable. I drive my grandchildren around and their safety is very important to me. My Highlander is a safe and reliable workhorse."

"The placement of the brake and the accelerator are too close together. I have to be very careful when I switch from going to stopping."

"Great acceleration, handling in rain/snow, and driving ease are stand out qualities."

"Very responsive"

"uncomfortable front seats/lumbar support poor"

"See previous statement"

"The Highlander has great acceleration with a very smooth ride. Cornering is true with very little body roll. It handles a trailer very well."

"The cruise control doesn't adapt to even modest inclines very well. It will accelerate up a hill to 3 mph or more faster than the settings when I get to the top. This is in stark contrast to my two fords that handle the hills very well."

"An easy to drive vehicle with good solid handling in all seasons, particularly winter. Acceleration and stopping are excellent and never a concern. Great visibility through all windows together with the parking camera and aids makes for ease of driving and parking."

"Great acceleration and handling."

"Great"

"The economical and powerful 3.5 engine coupled with a stronger chassis and a common sense AWD drive system has produced a perfect compromise of ride, towing capacity and fuel economy"

"I hate to use this phrase relating to luxury.but it best describes it....My 2013 Highlander Limited rides like a Cadillac sedan and not an SUV."

"Plenty of pep and easy to merge."

"Could not be better. I am completely satisfied."

"Great driving experience - even at 92K miles. Perfect car for kids, families, friends fit in the back. Really love it."

"Handles great."

"Very good in wet weather with the all wheel drive"

"holds the road well"

"The Highlander handles very well both in town and on the road. The is plenty acceleration when needed."

"the Highlander is extremely easy to drive. it is the most trouble free car we have ever owned"

"this car is a dream to drive on the highway, smooth, quiet, powerful enough to pull a trailer. Like this car a lot."

"Good handling, very smooth ride, great road trip vehicle."

"The Hybrid 6-cylinder engine provides excellent acceleration for passing at high speeds."

"Excellent acceleration"

"Very dependable vehicle"

"smooth"

"Great handling and smooth ride. The cabin can be noisy more so than our previous sedan, Chrysler 300."

"This Toyota Highlander has made four road trips from WI to CA since purchased.. It is a pleasure to drive. We will spend up to 14 hours behind the wheel and get out of the SUV a little stiff and tired but not totally fatigued. The V6 provides excellent acceleration and has decent fuel economy approaching on the interstate highways 24 mpg. The Highlander is a winner in our opinion."

"Tt drives smooth quiet handless is awesome withjot of instant power amongst ggoodbmilssgsz. Buy againo Very o"

"It accelerates well, but pulls to the right on heavy acceleration. Handles well for SUV."

"Excellent, stuck on turnpike in awful rain storm, felt very safe and secure while other vehicles pulled off the road"

"Good acceleration and acceptable handling"

"Solid suv that handles very well. Easy to maneuver, excellent acceleration. Smooth acceleration. Particularly when compared to other SUV’s we have owned."

"Quick response handling and good acceleration. Easily gets up to 80 mph highway speed before the end of the on ramp."

"Dfiiittltfewlrdbjlszrs"

"IMPRESSIVE ACCELERATION FOR A 4 CYL."

"When driving downhill in second gear and the engine RPM is around 2750 the RPM surges 300 or 400 RPM even when the accelerator pedal is not moving."

"Acceleration and handling is good. Steering is very quick and responsive. Requires extra concentration. Pedals are not placed as good as my Jeep. Pedals have too soft of a pressure."

"Good acceleration with it six cylinder motor, also smooth drive train at all times. Handling is OK, soft suspension, but rides well on the highway and rough country roads. Works well in the winter weather, I do run snows."

"It has adequate power to accelerate when passing another vehicle. The handling is predictable and stable. Brakes work well."

"This vehicle has great acceleration. I love the response when I hit the accelerator."

"Comfortable smooth acceleration with very good handling."

"Great acceleration and handling."

"Good acceleration and handling....Confident to pass other vehicles on highway."

"Handles well, slow pick up"

"Very smooth, quiet ride. AWD is very helpful in winter. Even at very low temperatures ( minus 40 or colder) the car starts immediately"

"I will be comfortable driving my Highlander for many years to come. The handling & acceleration seem as responsive today as when I first purchased it brand new. The only update I want currently is radar assisted cruise control. My other vehicle has this. It’s a great safety enhancement."

"responsive steering, doesn't under or oversteer. For size of engine, it has adequate acceleration on "on-ramps" to get into traffic."

"Excelleration is peppy and handling is tight and responsive. Road noise has been an issue but just swapped out the‿cleated‿ original tires (51,000 miles ) for some “touring‿ tires. The road noise is much less and the ride is heavenly."

"The handling is wishy-washy and there is no good feedback from the road to the wheel. The cabin is noisy at highway speeds."

"Acceleration is very strong even though I don't push the car. It handles well for SUV."

"I have the power and speed I want. I am satisfied with how it handles overall."

"Solid feel in all situations"

"Rarely ever try pushing pedal to the metal. However, on initial hard acceleration, it tends to exhibit what I call 'tire hop', rather than peel rubber. Other than that, handling feels very secure and reliable."

"very good in both areas"

"It drives very smoothly and with minimum noise, compared to our previous car, a Toyota 4-runner. Acceleration is excellent."

"The car rides and handle well. We get about 23 mpg when not towing our RV."

"At times it is unnerving to seem to stall when you want to accelerate"

"Plenty of power, even when entering an interstate. Handles well for a large vehicle."

"I love the acceleration and handling. It has saved me many times from having an accident."

"Very good."

"Smooth acceleration and quiet."

"The V-6 engine is very powerful and handling is great."

"it can always blend with the traffic, either fast or slow. It is a reliable performance - no stalling, variation in acceleration, etc."

"Quick acceleration Secure handling for a large vehicle"

"Accelerates well smooth ride"

"The Highlander Hybrid has great acceleration and handling."

"Excellent acceleration for a vehicle of its type."

"Very snappy acceleration"

"Accelerates great always has power when I need it."

"The car handles easily and the driving experience is precise and intuitive. Toyota's cruise control is the best in the business. The 6 cylinder engine is powerful and quiet."

"Good acceleration and handling."

"Acceleration is more than adequate and handling is always predictable and smooth which is much appreciated by its senior drivers."

"Good overall feel"

"Driving has been very good. Acceleration when needed with no stall in get up and go. Handles well in differing conditions, dry, rain, snow~ready to go...."

"Accelerates REALLY well going onto freeways. I pull a 24 foot travel trailer and it handles it very well, still getting decent gas milage."

"Power/steering"

"Good all around"

"Responsive, quick."

"Acceleration is OK as the 5-speed transmission can get very loud with hard acceleration. Handling is average for a mid-size SUV as the vehicle leans hard on sharp curves"

"Very fast acceleration; handles well on the interstate at high speed. VEry responsive steering."

"Handles like a truck. Visibility for a woman not good for mirrors, back-Ups,etc."

"Poor acceleration, hesitates if you punch it."

"The 2013 highlander is easy to drive, has good acceleration, and it does well in inclement weather."

"It feels solid and safe, controls well."

"Quiet, relaxing ride in comfortable seats. Noise is minimal, and it takes the bumps with ease. Sound system is very good."

"Significant road/wind noise. Also, when driving in wet conditions (rain or snow) there's a lot of noise from the wheel wells and under the car"

"Excellent in all seats are comfortable with lumbar control and height control its a quiet smooth ride"

"GPS takes you on all the backroads. When the headlights are on, the radio screen is impossible to see. The compass in the mirror does not come with the vehicle. It has to be ordered when you buy the car."

"Comfortable ride, but headroom isn't very plentiful. Disappointing that voice commands for my smartphone aren't included. There is a rattling noise coming from the center of the dash, near the air vents. Also, 19mpg for mostly highway driving for a 4-cylinder engine is disappointing."

"Seats are a bit wide and not too supportive laterally. Okay for a "large" person, but a standard person will move around in the seat when taking corners."

"seats & visibility are comfortable, excellent climate control. Backup video not big enough, position of radio control volume take eyes off road. ."

"Seats are too firm on long drives."

"Was having rodent infestation inside the car. Turns out there was a large (3'x10") hole under the cowling directly to cabin filter that permitted mice entry. I removed the cowling and screened the hole-problem corrected. I'm surprised Toyota hasn't addressed this. Many complaints on websites about this."

"I "test sat" every car that Consumer Reports recommended. I am extremely satisfied with this car, both as a driver and passenger around town, and on 2 day 1100 + mile trips."

"The seats are terrible. We do a lot of long distance driving, 700 miles in a day. After 3-4 hours, it is painful to sit in the Highlander seats. We have had to get seat cushions to make comfort acceptable. We had the same problem with a Toyota Camry. On the other hand the seats in a Chevy Suburban were comfortable for an all day trip as are the seats in the Chevy Silverado we now own."

"Too loud and compartment doesnt feel tight."

"Very comfortable seats. Excellent climate control. Quiet drive at all speeds."

"The seats hurt my lower back"

"Best all around car I've owned"

"quiet and smooth operation."

"I have chronic pain. This vehicle is easy to enter and exit. It rides incredibly smoothly and the seats are very comfortable. It is much more comfortable and reliable than my previous vehicle, a 2002 Honda Odyssey."

"This is a very good car. We like the ride and room. it is nice to drive."

"Climate: When you use the A/C the very next day I get and oder from the air circulation system. Toyota told me that it was a EPA change to the coating on the condenser. The water that is generated from the A/C seems to sit or stays on the coil. Toyota says they are not responsible and won't do anything to correct the problem. My wife will not get in the car if I have had the air on because of the oder."

"2nd row passenger seats are individual, with arms and they are adjustable front/back. Very comfortable for passengers"

"Very comfortable car to travel long distances"

"Ventilation system allows easy access to mice that nest in filter."

"I have the limited edition so the seat has several comfort options."

"Driving position is not ideal for long drives for tall person (6'8')"

"Gas mileage could be better, Hybrid"

"seats are a little to firm. Not as comfortable as we wanted but overall we are satiffied"

"Road noise is quite loud and it is so loud that I will not purchase another Highlander. New, expensive tires did not help. Driver seat is comfortable but passenger seating is not. I do love the room for adults in the 3rd rear seat. I also like the convertible middle seat/console in the middle row."

"Front seats not comfortable"

"I am over 6 feet tall; the driver's seat is too close to the steering wheel - would like to have more legroom."

"Noisy ride and poor traction with original tires"

"The seat belts are connected too far back, requiring a major reverse stretch to grab and use them."

"Love the heated seats. Comfortable on long [>3 hours] trips."

"Of the 50K miles on my Highlander, about 20K has been on extended trips. The comfort level of my Highlander is exceptional. I haven't had a single problem with any of the systems and when you arrive at your destination, you arrive feeling at ease, not tense like you normally experience. My mileage is another plus. On an average trip, I'll get between 25 and 27 MPG. My best trip averaged 27.4 MPG. Can't beat that."

"Heated seats are hard and uncomfortable"

"I do use a small pillow in the small of my back for support. Otherwise the seat is a little too concave for me."

"IT HAS A LOT OF WIND NOISE. DEALER SAYS IT'S DUE TO THE CARS DESIGN, FOR A CAR COSTING $41,000 - I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCK QUIETER."

"Very comfortable ride for 4wd. Leather seats, suspention are very nice on a long drive."

"Good climate control, smooth ride, decent gas mileage, excellent acceleration, convenient cockpit."

"Even though I purchased the Limited model, didn't have some of the options I had on my 99 Blazer (seat memory, auto dimming outside mirror, etc)"

"fairly comfortable to drive and ride in"

"When it gets it gets below 10 above at my home and I park overnight the fan on the heating system freezes up. I have never had this happen on any other car I have owned."

"the single USB port is hard to access. More than one port is needed"

"After driving about two hours everyone (front and back) feels like they have been sitting on an old paint bucket. I believe that this is due to the lack of leg support."

"Seat comfort and climate control are great, ride is quite satisfactory, but road and wind noise are higher than I expected."

"nice ride and quiet"

"There seems that the back seat windows are noisy, a little loud!"

"After the first year, the seats started to pinch my leg and I added a cushion to alleviate that."

"Front seats are especially comfortable. As I get older seat comforts has become more important, especially on a trip of more than and hour or two."

"as a mid size car it has a good ride."

"Big seats."

"Very comfortable seats and ride. Noise level is low."

"The Highlander is a fantastic automobile. Great ride, comfort and no noise. This rides like the best cars I have owned. Pulls my boat just fine also."

"Tire noise seem excessive"

"When I drive the Highlander I feel very secure. It is comfortable, quiet and an easy car to drive."

"Very comfortable ride and quiet on local roads and highway."

"What can I say....since I purchase the vehicle used, my wife and I enjoy driving about town again. Quiet, smooth and so comfortable, you would think you are driving a much more expensive vehicle. We love it, even thought we bought it used with average mileage on it."

"Great"

"first class"

"Love the lumbar adjustment on the drivers seat! Love the seat heaters too and use them every day in colder weather. Car is easy to handle and rides well at highway speeds."

"The car is very comfortable especially on short drives. The seats become a bit uncomfortable on long drives (over 3-5 hours). The handling is not as tight as I would prefer. They have improved this greatly on the latest generation of Toyota Highlander (2014+). The 2013 does not inspire confidence when driving at highway speeds. The amount of passenger and cargo room is fantastic, and I like having a little more space in the 2013 generation than in the latest model (2014+)."

"The seats are hard in both the front and back. We have a friend with the same car who actually had them restuffed."

"Rides like a car, a really nice car."

"The comfort of both the driver's seat and passengers seat were most important to me when car shopping. I drove a mini-van for years, and this Highlander was my replacement. I love it even more than the mini-vans! This is our highway trip car- so when we shopped, after looking at Consumer Reports recommendations for everything important, I sat in the front passenger's seat and decided if I wanted to look at it any more. If I liked the seat, then I tried the driver's seat. A week later, I went ba..."

"A little to much road noise."

"Hard seats."

"Numerous long trips over 2000 km each, excellent lumbar support in the seats. A very comfortable and smooth ride."

"Spacious, great ride and comfortable seats."

"Great highway car and living in Colorado, great handling and traction on snow and dirt roads."

"It is very comfortable on par with buick and Lincoln's I have driven."

"Seats provide plenty of support. Noise level is OK for an SUV. Ride is pleasant."

"Ride quality has declined a little. Still have fair amount of road noise (mainly from tires)."

"A very nice ride, roomy,quite, and easy to drive."

"The seats are adjustable and very comfortable. The ride is quiet and smooth."

"Ride is comfortable and mostly quiet."

"Rides and handles well. Electric steering is a little sensitive requiring frequent adjustment. Cabin is quiet and comfortable. Controls are just where they should be."

"The back tailgate has a hydraulic lever on only one side when the door opens and closes. This is a poor design and already broken once and will likely fail again. Newer models have the lever on both sides to prevent the rotational strain. Toyota should provide support beyond warranty for those with levers on only on side."

"Seats are very comfortable. Minimal road noise from outside the vehicle (easy to speak w/ front and back seat passengers). Minimal bumps (handles like a car, not a pick up/bumpy ride)"

"The Highlander Hybrid has been our go-to travel car since we bought it five years ago. With four adult-sized people, we find this car to be quite comfortable."

"Comfortable seats easily adjusted, however passenger front seat does not have height adjustment making it a bit less comfortable than drive side."

"Overall the seats are comfortable and ride feels solid and luxorious."

"Noise- at idle, knocking between exhaust and body but difficult to know exactly where knocking is."

"Excellent engineering and value"

"Great for long distance drives"

"Very comfortable seating and a pleasure to drive."

"it has always had a couple of little noises that annoy me.the noises are in the interior area,dash & drivers door panel."

"very, very quite. When I drive a regular car, I notice how noisy!!"

"The seats are wide and comfortable. The ride is smooth and there is no noise when riding."

"There is lots of headroom. The seats are wider than other vehicles we looked at so they don't force your legs and hips to curl up at the edges of the seat like many other vehicle seats do. That also applies to the seat backs. Many other vehicles have narrower seat backs that force your shoulders to bow inwards but the Highlander seat backs are wider and more comfortable. There is also ample seat room in the 2nd row of seats, even for tall people. This makes it a comfortable ride for long commutes and trips. There is not a lot of outside or road noise in the cabin so you can hear other passengers talk. The overall ride is also very comfortable."

"Road noise is a minor issue, but I wish it were more quiet. The passenger seat is manual and I wish It was a power seat like the driver’s."

"I have a bad back but have comfort with this vehicle."

"The seats and ride is very comfortable in the Highlander Limited."

"Very comfortable and I can drink coffee without Spilling"

"Seats and interior are very nice. Leather is quite good."

"Power seats, smooth quiet ride"

"The drivers seat is painful to sit in. Both drivers in our house have suggested we need new seats."

"Highlander is quiet inside. Good smooth ride."

"Very comfortable to drive."

"Rides like a full size car. Great gas mileage"

"Comfortable seats with a full range of adjustments"

"Better than previous Honda Pilot, sit high so good view"

"Seats are plush and adjustable to all angles. Ride is quiet for normal conversation. Visibility is great."

"Seat comfort is just fine. No aches or pains after driving all day. I do have a bone to pick regarding the noise level from the plastics in the dash and ventilation system. The use of all of those hard plastics makes for a lot of rubbing noises. This is my biggest gripe about the Toyota Highlander."

"Seat comfort poor in front. Lumbar support poor"

"Very comfortable and spacious. Love taking it on road trips. Lots of drink holders and power ports."

"this is a limited but I feel the seats are too harm compared to the Lexus"

"Bucket seats very comfy and multiple auto adjustments to drivers seat very handy on long drives. Passenger seat up front is manual adjustment but also comfortable. Road noise not a problem and is the smoothest riding vehicle we have had in yrs. Acceleration is great and performs well on cruise control."

"Quality Car"

"It drives and handles Like a premium sedan but taller. I would not buy any other suv but the highlander. It’s great"

"Quiet, comfortable, very good driving position"

"Great all around vehicle."

"it is a truck that drives like a passenger car"

"Great vehicle for long distance travel as well as around town for shopping. This is our second Highlander and both have been excellent vehicles for the two of us."

"Given the nature of the vehicle, i.e., a SUV, I'm quite happy with he ride, seats and noise control."

"Very comfortable ride and low road noise on long distance trips."

"Very comfortable for long trips"

"Very comfortable seats, and minimal road noise. Ride is very smooth, and takes rough roads nicely."

"Comfortable seating"

"Good support and adjustment"

"Seat is comfortable for tall driver and provides a good ride over not so even streets."

"For long distance driving the seats are large enough to move positions and has lots of leg room. Road noise is better than average. Ride is comfortable."

"Vehicle is very comfortable to drive; driver's seat adjustments are easy to use and complete. The ride is not tiring because of comfort, side and back support and leg room."

"Really great interior design and comfort."

"well padded seats drivers seat has good vertical movement lumbar control"

"Bucket seats are uncomfortable for long trips....too hard"

"I feel that the front seats could be more comfortable if they were more contoured. They seem very utilitarian. We especially don't like that there are no seat memory buttons to easily go from one driver position to the next. The rear seats (center row) are VERY comfortable and adjust well for back seats. We particularly like the ability to quickly change from three across to captain's seating and being able to stow the center "seat" in the center console."

"Overall driving experience is quite good for a car in this price class."

"Very comfortable, smooth ride. Low noise level, seats are quite adequate but would benefit from more lumbar support."

"Very easy to get into and out of. Like riding up a little higher than when in a sedan. Visibility is excellent. I have driven this vehicle cross country several times since buying it. It has remained comfortable even on 12 hour days in the driver seat. Wind noise is low. Speaking of wind, it also remains secure and stable when encountering high cross-winds."

"The driver's seat and front passenger seat are extremely uncomfortable. They seats are too soft and they don't have enough support."

"best riding vehicle I've ever owned"

"No outside noise, seats excellent, heated seats ideal in wimter"

"The drivers seat is great, but the front passenger seat needs the same comfort level with the controls, which it sorely lacks! BOTH front seats should be as adjustable as the drivers seat."

"Smooth ride and great handeling"

"JUst love it"

"I have never had any problem with my 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I found this very enjoyable."

"Seats are comfortable, with plenty of adjustment for all primary drivers. Road noise is minimal."

"Quiet, seats comfortable"

"The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a very nice cushy ride seating and environment. It certainly does not drive like a sports car but it is manageable on curvy roads. It softens the bumps nicely. It is very well accelerating responsive go pedal."

"GOOD LEG ROOM AND SEAT COMFORT"

"Front seat comfort and adjustability, but the REAL standout is rear seating comfort. Adjustable seating with leg room for a basketball player!"

"Seats are very comfortable on long and short trips. Drivers seat is extremely adjustable. Heaters in front seats are GREAT."

"GOOD: The most quiet and comfortable vehicle I have ever owned."

"The front & rear seats are are very comfortable and have the ability to recline (F & R). Hard acceleration is very noisy as well a wind noise on windy days. The ride is very good for a mid-size SUV"

"Seats are comfortable but I wish the noise was a little lower since I have a hearing problem."

"Most of ride factors are good except that there is excessive wind/road noise when driving at highway speeds"

"One of the most comfortable vehicles I've ever driven . I do a lot of highway driving said this is very important"

"drive long distances and always comfortable, smooth and solid ride. Seats comfortable. Little outside noise heard in the car."

"Quality of vehicle overall is outstanding. Comfortable leather, heated seats with adjustment of everything. Solid, quiet ride and exceptionally tight, quiet body. Whether on dry pavement, rain, snow or ice, this SUV gets me where I’m going safely and with great confidence!"

"Very comfortable seating! Relatively quiet ride. We have twice taken our Highlander for a vacation trip from Maine to Florida, and have enjoyed the comfortable ride."

"Comfort is good but the high center of gravity is very obvious when cornering and even driving straight ahead. The noise level is good overall with a little too much road noise."

"Priced in two larger markets;one in state (largest dealer in state) and one out of state but within three hours of home. Then took best deal to local dealer and then got them to match within 30 minutes."

"The vehicle is solid, requiring nothing but basic maintenance. While not "sexy" it just is dependable and solid."

"I got a great deal relative to other vehicles in it's class, and relative to other buyers. However, I think in general, this class of vehicle is over priced. For me, the price is worth the comfort."

"VERY disappointed by the MPG. We were told it would get 26 MPG on highway driving, but that's extremely rare. It mostly get 20, which is unacceptable now."

"We live in Michigan and take grandchildren to school everyday which can be challenging in winter weather. The 2013 has performed well giving us confidence in control, safety and comfort. Considering replacing my 10 year old second vehicle with another Highlander."

"Lots of room in a mid-size SUV. Front & back Hate the nav system Lacks back-up beep beeps Very reliable vehicle"

"lots of amenities, rides well,"

"excellemt buy. I'd definitely do it again."

"I get high end performance, fit, feel, comfort and safety features that I don't have to pay for.... as I would if it had a "luxury car" label!!"

"The Limited model's ride comfort and interior styling is comparable with any luxury sedan. With an arm disability, the remote tailgate operation on the Limited model is extremely useful."

"Very good vehicle."

"A superior quality vehicle."

"As with most Toyota cars and trucks, if properly taken care of, they will last decades. They retain their resale value better then most. Dependable"

"This Highlander was on "internet sale" and I received a lowered ticket price. Solid vehicle, no extra noises. As my son said about the Highlander Limited, this car makes you want to take the long way home."

"other cars seem to have more features"

"I paid 20,000 less by purchasing a certified used car, big plus, and in excellent condition. Big savings. In my opinion there is no better SUV then the Highlander, handling, comfort, reliability, great visibility, safety, couldn't say enough good thing about the car. Gas, well it's a hog but, I love the car."

"Excellent trim package came standard. Excellent value due to reliability and as compared to competitors at time of purchase."

"100 percent recommended."

"Highs are comfort, quit, & acceleration. Low is Toyota has terrible factory sound systems. I own the Highland Plus that comes with a JBL 6 speaker system. The distortion level was so irritating we could not listen to it more than 5 minutes. I have replaced it with a after market system. I believe for $36000 Toyota could have done better."

"This SUV delivers all that I could want in a multipurpose vehicle, at a far less price than many SUV's. Why would I buy anything else?"

"No problems. Good buy."

"The Highlander has been a sensible purchase. It gets good gas mileage and the maintenance costs are low. I have owned it for 3 years and I would buy it all over again"

"nice vehicle, poor navigation system, not to good on gas mileage, handled a 6x12 inclosed trailor very well but half the gas milage"

"top of lime model no memory seats, cruise does not let you know when activated, unable to dim nav display when dimming dials, o compass. At this price range one would expect these basic items"

"Good all round vehicle"

"Excellent value, but I bought the base model and could not not get a roof rack because it would have cost me an extra #3000 to get the upgrade package that includes proper roof structure to mount a "built-in" roof rack, and I did not want all the other electronic stuff which comes with the upgrade package."

"The Highlander is a very terrific vehicle in all respects and reliable. Expected to pay more for a quality vehicle, but price did seem high."

"After nearly 4 years, the appearance and reliability of the vehicle is exceptional. It accelerates and handles well, and is a pleasure to drive. Gas mileage is a bit disappointing. It seldom meets the manufacturers mileage ratings posted at the time we purchased the vehicle."

"Value resides in the SUV being very reliable and always ready for travel. Just gas it up and check the tires and go"

"Had had no problems with this vehicle.plan to keep for several more years."

"0% financing and excellent price for outstanding reliability and comfort."

"Very reliable and good mileage."

"I have had no mechanical or performance issues with this car. The only work done has been normal service. I didn't know that the 2013 was the last year before a new design. However, from the reports of the 2014 and later performance, ride, and noise in the cabin, I am glad that I purchased the 2013 instead."

"Outstanding value for price. The reliability is exceptional. I never have a worry about cold weather starts or handling. There have been no repairs required beyond normal maintenance. The cost of maintenance is low. Very low depreciation makes resale a pleasant experience. The interior is nicely appointed and kid friendly. The third row of seating is an outstanding feature and a factor in deciding to purchase"

"It's a solid truck. not great at any one thing but good at everything."

"Dependable transportation"

"Every option other than auto navigation."

"A pretty much trouble free vehicle. Good value for price paid, but I wouldn't use the same dealership again."

"Feels secure relative to previously owned Camry."

"Satisfies all my needs"

"I would buy this car again because it is a safe and reliable grandchild hauler. It was money well spent for a reliable car."

"Other than normal maintenance there have been no problems with the vehicle."

"I truly feel for the amount I paid vs required maintenance and problems, I have a steal. I love this care and although It's paid for, I have no intention of replacing it anytime soon"

"Good looking, reliable vehicle. We live in Canada and receive extreme weather (hot and cold). Highlander performs well in all conditions. We like them so much we’ve owned three over the past 15 years."

"I obtained d excellent value for my money."

"Great quality and and value for the price I paid for this vehicle."

"Although it is considered a mid-size SUV it has a huge amount of hauling capacity but still gets 28-29 mpg when we drive. Our daily trips include city, highway, and mountain driving so that is good gas mileage. Our previous smaller mid-size SUV never got over 17 mpg with the same type of daily use. Although it cost more than our previous vehicle, we have a lot better hauling and seating capacity and a lot better gas mileage so it is a good value for what we spent and we love that it's a hybrid so we don't contribute as much pollution driving it."

"A good value for the price. We sill purchase another Highlander for our next car"

"Very well built comfortable transportation with good performance and handling"

"I have never had a waranty claim"

"great gas mileage for this size vehicle"

"great value"

"The value is very good because of the high reliability and general quality."

"Seems like a good vehicle for the money."

"The vehicle's appearance always looks good; it requires minimum maintenance; competes very well with much more expensive brands."

"The similar size SUV to the Toyota Highlander was a 2002 Ford Explorer which was also purchased new. The quality of the Toyota Highlander far exceeded the Ford Explorer. We are very pleased with the value received from the Toyota compared to the Ford. The Toyota has been very reliable whereas the Ford started to fall apart shortly after the warranty expired"

"Dependable SUV, gets good mileage, has a comfortable ride. We have a travel trailer and it has done a good job pulling our RV. There is plenty of storage space in the back and if the middle seats are folded down, it can really carry a lot. We've used the rear seat on occasion to carry an extra 2 passengers; it's not that easy for passengers to get in and out of the rear seats. Good to have it in a pinch, but not that practical."

"Relative to the Lexus, it was more expensive and seems to have lower quality parts. Paint job is ok. The driver's side sunshade is already broken. Factory battery lasted barely 3 years."

"The price I paid when I bought it was more than competitive with other brands. They key to my satisfaction is the almost legendary reliability of Toyotas. The only thing this car has needed so far is an oil change. It has never had a manufacturing defect. This is my fifteenth Toyota. The same held true for the other 14!"

"You pay a higher price up front, but over the many years of reliability it is well worth the price of the vechile.. out of 7 Toyota’s in 17 yrs. in my family, not one break down repair needed, just normal maintenance items need to be done."

"Never had a problem with this vehicle in 5 years of ownership."

"Have just changed the oil and filter on schedule and rotated the tires. No unusual experiences with the Highlander."

"Very reliable safe economical"

"I really dislike the 2-toned leather. It makes it look cheap and having the dashboard in black.. it seems all your vehicles have black dashboards, no matter what. Our new 4-runner we wanted it to be all brown leather. When we got it, only the seats were nicely done in the brown color we picked. The doors, dash and all other areas were black."

"This is great value, reliable, good gas mileage given its size and six cylander engine, which provides smooth power.. It provides good comfort and plenty of space. Seating is very good for five, a little tight for the third seat but works for kids or short trips with adults. Very reliable and a good highway traveler. It is a bit combersome to park in city streets, soft on the corners related to handling. In 85000 miles it has needed nothing beyond the service schedules."

"They discounted it well because of that so very please with what I got for what I paid"

"My extensive research has proven my highlander to have superior qualities to higher end vehicles that cost much more. I like that it doesn’t look like the rest of what I call wind tunnel vehicles, all squashed down with poor visibility."

"Incredible resale value. Excellent low cost maintenance."

"No mechanical problems. Just keeps going. Costco deal when we bought it was great It’s a granny car after BMW X5. Doesn’t spend time at dealer for repair like x5"

"GOOD: As an engineering oriented person I got a lot of bang for the buck."

"I find the cost of vehicles in general shockingly high, however, comparatively I am satisfied I have a high value vehicle that is reliable and will serve me well for many years."

"Very good value....just right for city and highway"

"Within two years the rear wiper rusted to the point where the dealer has to replace it. Then he told us they may break the rear glass window if they do and that would be at our expense. Not Happy with that at all."

"Reliable. Absolutely no mechanical issues."

"Very few mechanical problems; car is well engineered and spacious."

"solid, reliable vehicle that rides very well and has all the bells and whistles"

"Very satisfied - feels and behaves in a very dependable and reliable manner."

"It is exceptional"

"Only one minor problem - driver side electric door lock not working."

"Holds value very we. Flawless operation."

"It's rated number one in value and dealers want me to trade it in so they can sell it"

"My SUV carries loads for a charity. It has lots of carry space and the back window opens, and that was a necessity for me."

"Using CR's car-buying service, I got, what I consider, to be an exceptional price on the Highlander."

"Reliability, comfort"

"Love the bigger windows on this design, compared to the new models."

"everything inside is perfectly laid out and simple to use. Also, I like the older exterior (2013 and before). Best car I've ever had - and I've had 2 of them!"

"I love the look, not that the look of the car sold me, it's the highlander that sold me, it's ride, comfort and reliability and safety. Only wish it had better gas mileage, but I knew this going in."

"There is very little room in the "trunk" area even with the last row of seats turned down. Very small inside storage space."

"This car is so versatile. We traded a truck in for it so we have passenger as well as hauling capability."

"It's a little too boxy."
