Toyota Highlander

"Excellent over the road travel"

"Plenty of power, turns and handles very well for the size of the vehicle."

"Does not ride as expected. The automatic start/stop system is annoying and unnecessary. I do not want the engine to shut-off at every stop sign."

"Its a great SUV and I should have it till I die........"

"Seems to handle well but only have driven 300 miles so far."

"Auto transmission shift is harsh and abrupt. Updated software and shift response improved but still not smooth as it should be."

"Slower than expected acceleration Less than crisp handling"

"Although this is a V6, the acceleration can be a bit slow. For that reasion, I wish I had bought the hynrid version - acceleration is much better."

"A nice smooth ride. Lane departure works weel but can be a bit annoying on some narrow roads, especially coing around curves."

"Excellent feel on long trips. The lane departure and smart cruise control are a huge help for a safe drive."

"Compared to my Optima, the Highlander really growls to get up to speed when pressed. It feels underpowered. This may be an unfair comment given my Optima is smaller and has turbo but I still feel that is really struggles when punched and is emits a loud engine rev to get up to speed.."

"Quiet, stable handling, smooth ride, good acceleration."

"Very comfortable. Handling has improved over the 2013 and 2015. Braking and steering have improved over past models."

"Very good proformice from engine"

"I love this vehicle, but it's slow. I would prefer a selectable set of electronic control profiles that would allow me to choose between economy and sport. As is, the car is competent, handles and rides well, but it's not a stirring drive."

"great all around car"

"the vehicle is great although the transmission is rather clunky, and i find the 2012 Highlander LTD which i traded in had much more bottom end power and better acceleration , although the dealership tells me things should improve as the car adapts to my driving"

"Handling is about as expected, but acceleration is not. Engine seems powerful, but transmission hesitates and holds high gears too long. There is a TSB out there, but have not had it applied yet."

"smooth pleasurable ride"

"It has a smooth, quiet, buttoned-down ride. Good on cornering for a crossover with a high center of gravity. My wife loves it."

"The Handling is smooth and consistent. It holds the road very well but the acceleration is not as responsive as it should be....there is a slight pause when accelerating that should be smoother..."

"Quick acceleration and very responsive handling."

"not 100% smooth w/acceleration - otherwise LOVE unit !"

"Well I'm comparing my 2006, V8 4Runner to 2017 ,V6 hybrid Highlander. Mpg is greater in Highlander (27-28 mpg) vs 12-13mpg 4Runner. Ride is very smooth, acceleration is quicker in Highlander vs 4Runner. The technology in Highlander was a little overwhelming at first, but after several weeks have figured most of it out. I do love the Bluetooth connectivity in the Highlander, and the sound system. I get in Highlander it connects to my IPhone, I can play my music or receive or take calls without to..."

"the four wheel drive system is better than the Jeep I previously had and always is maximizing the best traction."

"I am totally satisfied with my Toyota, inside and is great,"

"This vehicle has good acceleration. It handles well at all speeds and driving conditions."

"Very quiet and smooth on the road with great acceleration (6 cylinder AWD). It also gets great gas mileage on the freeway, but bad in the city."

"the transmission is not smooth and at times can be jerky. The engine shuts off if you stop unless you push a button every time which is annoying. The auto steering correct and the other safety features are fantastic."

"slow acceleration, will probably trade in as it is slow for freeway merging"

"excellent handling and acceleration"

"Precise handling, very good acceleration and is a joy to drive."

"Live in a hilly urban area with speed limits 30/35 mph. Seems as there is sloppy shifting, Understand not a sports car; however, accelerating to merge with high speed traffic should be better."

"Like the engine stop feature for use at long stoplights."

"Great vehicle"

"It has great acceleration for getting out on the highway. It is very responsive when driving. It handles better than most vehicles we test drive before we bought it. We test drove numerous vehicles and did research and compared what each had to offer and the Highlander was the best vehicle for us. It gets great fuel mileage and beat all the rest. The body is tight and sound and is fun to drive. They could improve by offering Google play and that is the only complaint"

"It has good acceleration but the handling is a bit too soft. Would prefer a better feel of the road. Feels like it floats at times"

"Good acceleration. Love adaptive cruise control"

"The ride is smooth but it lacks acceleration."

"smooth!"

"Going uphill, it shifts to the next gear too soon. You often have to press the gas pedal to get it to downshift to go uphill."

"My Highlander drives like a dream. has good all-around vision, and plenty of power. Smooth transmission except when starting from a stop sign, there is a slight hesitation before power is felt if in a hurry."

"Great Driving car very comfortable."

"Plenty of power and acceleration. I don't like the feature that slows you down when you are behind another vehicle."

"I have already had 1 accident due to the new mirrors on the driver side. I cannot see when I turn, there will be a lawsuit against Toyota I’m sure for these mirrors"

"Excellent acceleration and handling. My only complaint is the cruse control. The front end collision safety features are annoying as the vehicle slows down far to soon even when adjusted to the minimum distance."

"Superb handling overall. Very smooth ride. Excellent storage and passenger space. The precollision avoidance detection and braking works very well. The automatic slowing to maintain vehicle distance also works well."

"THE 8 speed transmission does not automatically down shift going up hills."

"safety features"

"Highland was a powerful vehicle"

"It has good highway mileage and handles well on the road."

"Very responsive handling"

"PerformanceUS OUTSTANDING, and we’re averaging almost 30 mpg. I’m not as frustrated in stop and go traffic any more when I look down and see I’m on electric power instead of wasting gas sitting still. :)"

"easy to drive and move, use back up camera all the time. large for indoor parking spaces"

"Great pickup and sure footed."

"Way to much road noise!the navagation in the car from Toyota is absolutely worthless!"

"Acceleration is good, however there is a lag in response when gas pedal is pushed."

"Transmission doesn't seem to know what gear it wants to be in."

"Sluggish accerleration at low throttle settings. Low end torque is lacking."

"I got the Highlander as a ski/snow car to that effect it is great and has never let me down."

"Blind spots!"

"The Highlander Hybrid has a lot of spunk. If you need to floor oit to get into traffic you can. It costs you in mpg but it really accel;erates with gusto if you need it."

"Acceleration is sluggish and noisy"

"Acceleration and handling good"

"I don't like the stop start feature and I"m not too happy with the 8 speed transmission"

"It is very quiet and responsive. I am very pleased"

"Both the acceleration and handling of my 2017 Toyota Highlander are very good."

"The engine cutting off at stops is very annoying because it lowers air conditioner fan as well as other issues. To turn this feature off, you must do it each time you drive."

"Great car to drive on the highway, lane warning OK, cruise control with auto braking great Location of cruise control on steering wheel hard to reach --- too low under the steering wheel"

"Car is quicker than it feels. The 8 speed transmission seems to hunt for gear quite a bit, and then when it finds one it seems to choose one a little lower than it needed to."

"Good acceleration but does not handle as well as a sedan"

"Compared to the 2008 model, it is a dog. Underpowered with a smaller fuel tank. Though MPG is better, mileage between fuel stops is worse. Handling is fine."

"Its a dream machine for acceleration, especially for handling."

"Car acceleration response. Outstanding over the road Cruise control system with adaptive cruise control. Great car space."

"the V6 has power available at all speeds to allow you to maneuver as needed. Very good vision for front, side and rear. Very comfortable car to ride in, it handles well and smooths out the road well for an SUV."

"The only negatives I have about the 2017 Highlander is that acceleration seems to be lacking compared to my 2015. It now has an 8 speed transmission which may be part of the issue. I also very much dislike the engine automatically shutting down when you apply the brake when stopped. I understand they are trying to get as much MPG as they can squeeze out but don't care for that feature and wonder what the long term effect on starter reliability it will have."

"Very good control"

"Don't like the fact that the engine shuts off when stopped for any reason. Don't like the automatic light dimmer operation."

"The Highlander has excellent acceleration. It handles very well, again very smooth. We've use the lane assist but it can be very annoying when on curves. We are within the lane lines but the sensor seems very sensitive. Braking is pretty smooth, too. For a large vehicle, it handles very nicely."

"I feel the city driving is not the best for my gas mileage."

"numb steering, and sluggish uneven throttle response even after the transmission software updates."

"Too much power for a front wheel drive; it slips often."

"Great acceleration. Great handling in snowy conditions."

"I like the dynamic radar cruise control.I use it as much as possible."

"Great acceleration to merge into highway traffic. Car also handles very well."

"It has good pick-up and acceleration for the size of the vehicle. it is responsive when required for accelerating into a freeway or when required for passing"

"Handling and Interior quietness"

"very quick"

"The car accelerates well given its weight and size. I feel like it has good acceleration even on the shorter highway entrance ramps we have locally. In some instances, there is an incline right at a short entrance and the Highlander handles them easily. Handling is excellent. It has a tighter turn radius than I expected for an SUV of its size, and it is fairly easy to park in most lots and garages."

"Very comfortable ride, a bit slow in acceleration, drivers side mirror a problem"

"good acceleration for highway driving, like the blind spot monitor and the lane departure feature."

"It changes gears much more frequently than expected. E.g., doing 65mph going up a very slight hill it down shifts. Also, after punching it & letting off the gas, the engine stays revved when you would expect the rpms to drop. I took it to the Toyota dealer and they said "that is normal & that's what they all do"."

"Handles like a whale, but pleasant enough (especially with 360 cameras)"

"For a big car it is very responsive but still gets good gas mileage. Braking is also very good. Steering is responsive also."

"The car does everything as advertised!"

"There seems to be an exceptionally large change in gearing between 3rd and 4th. Transmission has a very irritating tendency to lag at low speed, and shifts continuously searching for the correct gear. The transmission has been checked 4 times, but the dealer always says that the computer reports that it is healthy. Also, the engine is generating more and more noise at idle as the miles accumulate, in spite of it being meticulously maintained. Scheduled oil changes have been done by Toyota, and I have added in additional oil changes, doing the work myself."

"Excellent acceleration, constant four wheel drive is very sure footed, solid and quick handling with perfect steering and great abs braking and sway system. I am enjoying the tech package with radar controlled distance following vehicles, lane departure, blind spot warning and more!"

"car provides a smooth quiet ride; not totally comfortable about the car remaining on when I think it is turned off but I am overcoming this problem."

"Great power, braking and responsiveness."

"There is a slight hesitation when accelerating from a stop or up to about 40 mph."

"auto start/stop affects smoothness of acceleration"

"The only downside to the car is acceleration. To get it to pickup you really have to hit the accelerator and then it will go but only after downshifting and really revving up the engine."

"It has more power than I expected for a hybrid (305 hp) it has great acceleration, it has a smooth and even ride, it handles fairly well on corners , but tires will screach if you hit acceleration to hard coming out of a corner. But for a hybrid I have been pleasantly surprised. I test drove Lexus350 and Highlander, only differences was price range."

"Suspension absorbs bumps but still handles crisply"

"Handling is responsive and reasonably tight - very good for an SUV. Automatic steering assist is subtle but useful. Good acceleration at all normal speed ranges. Braking is responsive and adequate at all speeds."

"Has plenty of power, but hesitates a bit when first accelerating and seems to require a really firm pressure on the accelerator in order to get a rapid start."

"I feel totally connected to the car and the road when accelerating and handling the Highlander. There is an immediate and smooth response to my actions."

"very good as expected"

"Has a 5000 lb toll rating, we pull a 4000 total lb trailer. We get 12-16 mpg. Handling is good enough. Has good acceleration even when pulling trailer."

"Excellent"

"Engine performance exceptional which gives me great confidence behind the wheel."

"Acceleration is good for such a large vehicle"

"This Highlander has all of the electronic safety devises plus the new six gear transmission. These improvements save fuel without losing the quick acceleration that I had become accustomed to with my 2011 Highlander. The added features of lane departure warning and speed control distance braking make the vehicle much safer and handling easier. Toyota put many of the screen features between the tachometer and the speedometer which had made handling safer and easier because I do not have to look at the center of the dashboard to know what the speed limit is or if the navigation system wants me to turn."

"Off the line and passing acceleration is good and I particularly like the power mode. Handling is sound overall though some body lean in cornering occurs. Overall, it’s a more than competent handler and buttery smooth driver."

"Sloppy handling and poor acceleration."

"System that manages cruise is a little irritating as it measures distance between cars and slows or speeds up. Can be too safe."

"The 8 speed transmission is prone to frequent shifts."

"Strong acceleration, holds the road well."

"I’m very satisfied. Ride is a little stiffer than my previous one but towing stability is improved."

"Enjoy the car like ride of this large SUV."

"Accelerates and handles very well."

"I can switch from standard driving to performance driving and it accelerates very good."

"Smooth with adequate acceleration to avoid problems."

"Good acceleration and handling. Comfortable seating. Great family SUV"

"The vehicle handles well, however, there is a feeling of down shifting while stopped at red lights. It has something to do with slowing the motor down temporarily while stopped. It can be manually disengaged, it re-engages when the motor is turned off. Toyota service manager advises is cannot be permanently disengaged."

"For the size of the vehicle it accelerates and handles quite well, even with 6-8 people in the car. The mileage is decent and it uses regular gas, and my wife loves it."

"have 2 wheel drive and it slips coming up my very steep driveway. Also, have to constantly repeat voice commands"

"Transmission always wants to be in highest gear."

"this car does not accelerate well transmission set for economy has hesitation at low speed dealer says nothing can be done"

"Acceleration is strong and smooth and handling at all speeds is smooth and predictable."

"Hesitation as it shifts. Sometimes jerks."

"The acceleration is wonderful. When I need to pass, I can get the job done & be back in line in no time, no hesitation, & with the power I need."

"Comfortable, stable ride"

"Excellent/strong acceleration. Handles well when being pushed."

"Very powerful engine with incredible fuel economy. Better than my husbands 4 cylinder. Easy to backup with camera and nice new features line lane assist."

"The Highlander drives like a large sedan and doesn't feel like an SUV or truck."

"The acceleration is prompt, handling is smooth and responsive. Road noise is all but absent and when carrying a group of people, the comfort is unrivaled."

"Acceleration is quite good and has plenty of power for passing. Gas MPG is surprisingly good. Handles very well on the corners. Braking is excellent."

"Built in safety sensors are really the best. I highly recommend the vehicle. And that was not an additional cost to me"

"Transmission jerks when decelerating and then accelerating."

"Tip in acceleration is touchy. It seems to be all or nothing being difficult to modulate."

"Excellent acceleration, vehicle warning i.e. Blind spot notification a great feature"

"The acceleration is very good, and handling is smooth at low speeds, but handling it not good on highway ramps and curves at almost any speed."

"handles & accelerates as advertised"

"Very good gas mileage for a large three row SUV"

"Accelerating or going up hills/mountains the transmission downshifts too much and is annoying. Seems like cannot find the right gear. With the horsepower the 8 speed transmission should be a smoother ride. Need to fix this situation!"

"Quite pleased with how responsive it handles in turns, etc. New tuning of the 3.5L V-6 with its 8 speed transmission makes it even more responsive than my 2006 Highlander"

"A Great Car in ALL areas !"

"Acceleration is crisp, thanks for the electric motors. Handling is surprisingly good given its high center of gravity."

"The new 8 speed transmission is not very smooth downshifting. It lags and then hits rather hard. It reminds me of the transmission in my old 2006 Toyota Sienna that had the same problem. Maybe Toyota should look to someone else to build their transmissions."

"It feels like the gears don’t shift smoothly and there’s some hesitation when you press the accelerator. My previous 2003 Highlander Ltd. shifted better than the new one."

"Seems a little sluggish for a V6 engine. Handling is great. Stop/start system seems a little rough. MPG should be better. Overall, very satisfied even with some drawbacks."

"good acceleration out of the v6. cornering is only adequate."

"Makes me feel safe when warning system warns me of danger."

"Handles well in all kinds of driving experiences and comfortable."

"Again the safety features braking and cruise control."

"I don't like that the engine shuts down while I'm stopped."

"Surprising acceleration, great ride, good handling... great visibility, especially augmented by Blind Spot and back up camera and logic. Modest wind noise compared to AudiQ7"

"Drives car like"

"Smooth acceleration but I think there are too many gears."

"Acceleration is very good although the transmission at times hesitates. I feel very confident driving this car"

"Local handling is good. Acceleration onto parkways is sometimes not reliable."

"Good is seat comfort, styling, gas mileage. Bad is the start stop system. It is dangerous when making a left turn at a busy intersection."

"Vehicle is not as agile in town driving as I would like, but the transmission is 8-speed, so there is lots of shifting up and down. The biggest aggravation is the start-stop feature with the engine. It is borderline dangerous to have. In-town driving requires quick acceleration from a stop position, and the engine does not restart quickly enough to respond. It cannot be disengaged permanently, but it can be turned off every time the engine is started... a nuisance. Handling is very good, even with the electronic steering."

"Handling is good rivals my 2010 Highlander, Acceleration is less responsive than my 2010 Highlander and is not as smooth."

"no complaints"

"Acceleration is good but to accelerate quickly one has to really tromp down on the accelerator. Vehicle is programmed to shift to highest gear quickly to conserve fuel."

"Excellent acceleration - firm and responsive handling."

"Car handles exceptionally well and the acceleration is very well"

"The Toyota safety pack is my reason for getting this car. It keeps my in lane and safe in cruise mode. It is comfortable. What more could one expect from a car?"

"Comfortable"

"entering limited access highway - has all the power I need to do so safely and get to desired speed quickly"

"Handling is excellent. Responsive and good recovery. On freeway adjacent van moved over toward my lane. Evasive turning toward the shoulder yielded squealing tires but no loss of control. Acceleration on this vehicle is slow! My 6 cylinder 2008 RAV 4 will push me back into my seat. The same 6 cylinder in my new 2017 Highlander makes you want to lean forward to help it move faster!"

"It is an overall great experience to drive. I enjoy it more than most autos I have ever owned. My wife agrees."

"This is a 7 passenger car and a tiny bit loose on corners. It does not give you the feel of a sporty SUV but that is not its purpose or intention. Great family car"

"Good acceleration and it sticks to road. Very good with emergency handling and can take corners like a sports car."

"The Highlander SE literally handles like a sport car, agile, quick and very positive... Yet, it rides like a luxury car - quiet, smooth and without swaying or bouncing."

"Especially like the adaptive cruise control, the blind spot warnings and the back up view and warnings."

"good road car, handles well at speed, and safety features give additional piece of mind while driving"

"Handles very well. V-6 provides adequate power for passing and merging."

"Vehicle acceleration and handling has been excellent."

"Like driving and riding in a cloud!"

"Handling is very good for a large vehicle but acceleration leaves a lot to be desired. It could really use some more power or better gearing."

"See last entry"

"The acceleration is quick and the handling is great."

"Handling and ride is exceptional"

"No actual problems. It's less agile or clumsier than a 2010 Highlander I had previously."

"the driving experience is extremely pleasant"

"Very repliable vehicule, but not very exciting to drive. No sporting behavior at all. 8 speed transmission is not working smoothly at low speed."

"Eveyrthing is great"

"Handles very well"

"It seems to drive pretty good, but sometimes when accelerating it seems to hesitate. ( I am not a car person, so probably isn't the technical term)"

"transmition doesn't shift smoothly."

"Don’t like how the gas saver start/stop feature is not as smooth as it could be. Too much hesitation when starting from stopped position. Happy we can turn off this feature."

"Is larger than it looks and is not very sporty. The acceleration is fine however."

"8-speed transmission shifting not very smooth during acceleration from stop. Higher speed shifting is very good."

"Overall good - there is a slight hesitation at first acceleration. Not very punchy."

"good smooth acceleration, love the way it handles on the highway - especially driving in wind - can barely feel the wind on the vehicle."

"very good"

"Some time the shifting of gears is not smooth as lower speeds."

"It has decent acceleration but when you stomp on the accelerator the steering is very difficult to control especially if you’re turning into the flow of traffic"

"Responds berry well"

"Handling is predictable."

"Acceleration is excellent at both low and high speeds. Handling is great in all kinds of weather."

"Just great to drive"

"solid drive, handles well and accelerates well."

"Its great"

"Cruise control and lane assist really helps interstate driving"

"too many transmission shifts - why is an 8 speed transmission needed? acceleration from complete stop is absolutely terrible"

"I do not like the fact that I cannot turn off the feature whcih turns the car off when idling at stop lights. It cuases the ac to shut down. I would like to turn this off permanently."

"When stopped and engine is off then restarts the car actually moves forward—like being bumped."

"Acceleration is slow"

"steering is excellent and responsive. Corners very well. Overall handling is " almost " like a sports car."

"The auto shutdown feature when you come to a stop is a bit aggressive and sometimes causes lag when you stop wanting to shutdown the engine when you really don't"

"The acceleration is extremely fast for a 6 cyl."

"Very smooth acceleration, comfortable ride."

"This car is a joy to drive, everything about it is awesome. The seats are supremely comfortable, it's quiet and smooth on the road. It has a wonderful turning radius and the acceleration is great, I can get up to highway speeds from a dead stop in seconds. I really love everything about this vehicle and when I get in to go somewhere I just want to keep going :) It's so comfortable I could drive all day and only need to stop for food or rest!!"

"I did a road trip from Washington State to California and Arizona last winter. The car handled well on all different types of roads. I'm very pleased."

"It handles very well in all conditions and situations I have been in while driving. The acceleration is outstanding"

"This is by far the most compliant car I've ever driven. Some cars have twitchy throttles and catchy breaks but this car responds perfectly to my driving input as if I were willing it to."

"Love the front and back cameras, laser cruise control and handling on highway."

"Good acceleration and handling."

"smooth acceleration, powerful engine."

"Acceleration is fantastic as I drive in heavy traffic. I can depend on my Toyota to move me safely in traffic. the vehicle handles easily for a woman."

"Acceleration is very good. Only major negative is gas mileage but expected for an SUV."

"Very comfortable for road trips"

"Feel like I am in a Lexus. Like riding on a cloud."

"Very quiet, smooth ride"

"The quietness of the inside cabin and smooth ride"

"The two front seats are uncomfortable for long trips. I have long legs, and my right knee rubs against center console. I have purchased a small pad to put between my knee and the console."

"The ride is great on smooth roads but way too stiff on bumpy roads or roads with expansion joints. Also the front window visors are not stiff enough to stay put in the down position where you want them to be; they flop down too low."

"Seats are very supportive with great lumbar features, lots of leg room for us 6 foot plus owners. Noise level is good, ride is exceptional."

"It is quiet and almost buttery smooth."

"Great comfort and multiple seat settings- cooling/heated seats make a difference- quite ride"

"Comfortable seats Low noise Firm ride"

"Feels solid, good supportive seats."

"Ease of driving. Soft ride. Quiet ride. Ample room in both front and middle seats."

"Extendable seat cushion on driver seat is a nice addition. Road noise is very low on the highway"

"Driver's seat does not extend for long legs. Otherwise it is very comfortable."

"I found it to be very comfortable. I did have a problem with road noise in the cabin. But it was no worse than any other car I ever travelled in."

"Very quiet with little wind noise or road noise. Smooth ride, takes out the road imperfections. Seats are very comfortable for long journeys. Very roomy especially in the back seats."

"This is probably the quietest vehicle I have ever owned. A joy to ride in on noisy freeways."

"Cruise control should always remain on unless I turn it off (see Ford). All door locks should remain unlocked unless I press the lock switch. Rear hatch door should always unlock and open when I mash the open button on the fob or dash or door."

"Love the car in all ways"

"This car is three months old; our priority was a vehicle for long road trips. First trip was 2000 miles, excellent comfort throughout. Very comfortable seats with both heating and cooling features. Very well built so little to no road noise, and a great JBL sound system! Most importantly this vehicle has numerous safety features, very worthwhile."

"Very comfortable, and smooth ride. 19" wheels. Heated and cooled seats...very nice!"

"Although I feel very safe driving this car, I feel that the sides of the car are very high, thus limiting vision. Also, I can't easily reach my mail box from the car since the sides are so high. Otherwise they car is comfortable and has little road noise."

"Seats are comfortable for my wife and and I who are both over six feet tall. Plenty of head and leg room. Seat support and adjustment have been good on long driving trips."

"Our new Highlander XLE reflects the awesome reputation of Toyota (We have owned two Camry's previously) in that the ride is quiet and comfortable. The seats are spacious and their is NO road noise. Back seat (Bench) is spacious and comfortable. Easy access....and exit. Awesome Vehicle!"

"room for grandkids"

"Pleased with actual seat comfort, low noise level and ride. I especially like the stop-start feature. Would like to have seen the steering column included in the memory so that it would automatically move up and forward when shutting the car off and then returning to desired position when the vehicle is started. Can't help but wonder why the media screen is leaning forward allowing sun glare to block the view on it. Also it is so far away from the driver that I am unable to reach the controls..."

"Seats comfortable, passenger front seat should have the same features as driver's side but doesn't. Rides very smoothly!"

"Very quiet smooth ride"

"Seats are very comfortable for tall drivers"

"Very comfortable, very quiet."

"very satisfied with comfort, lack of road noise, smooth ride"

"Quit and comfortable for long trips."

"The car's front end is not designed so a driver can clearly pull into a parking spot because you can't use fenders or hood as a guideline. The car is really too big for most parking spots in NY and FL. The third row is useless."

"ride is hard/harsh even at low speed while driving over bumps or other road imperfections. Interior noise is high probably due to large open area inside."

"Car tends to be noisy but otherwise comfortable"

"all of these are better than my previous Honda Accord"

"Seats are wide and supportive and adjustable for any driver. Heated and cooled seats are a valuable asset. Would like to see a ‘massaging’ drivers seat! Would help in long drives."

"Driver said seat is very adjustable. Myself and my wife can custom set the drivers seat and be very comfortable for a long drive."

"The safety features on handling and breaking including dynamic cruise control."

"For long distance driving this vehicle has more comfort and room than others I tried. Front seats adjust and recline leaving plenty of room in the 2nd row seats. 2nd row seat has plenty of leg room with reclining seats. Third row seating access is a little difficult for adults. There is not as much leg room, but is is great for children. These seats recline also. With the vehicle loaded with passengers there is still room in the back for groceries, etc. Road noise is at a minimum. Haven't heard any complaints in the past 19 months."

"Easy adjustment between drivers for seat comfort"

"Seats are very comfortable, lots of leg room in both front seats and second row seats. one of the quietest vehicles we have ever owned. Smooth ride even on rough roads."

"Seats are very comfortable. A little wider than some smaller SUVs. There is no noise at all and ride is very good. It’s my second Highlander."

"Seats are comfortable to a certain point. On a long trip, they lose their comfort level after a few hours."

"Very comfortable seats on long trips. Much better than my 2013 Highlander XLE."

"The heated and cooled leather seats are the most comfortable we have ever had. The noise level as low as we have ever had and the ride is soft and yet solid to quick response."

"The seats are firm, but comfortable. The ride is not toofloaty and the cabin is quiet."

"Very smooth and quiet ride."

"Very quiet inside cabin and comfortable seats"

"Love the temp control for the seats, both heat and cooling."

"The SUV is very comfortable to drive, and has an excellent ride."

"Very quiet for an SUV. Seats are supportive."

"Size is about right for seven passengers"

"Confort over long drives"

"This is the best comfort I’ve ever had in a car. I would say it rivals many luxury SUVs for comfort"

"Seats are very comfortable and easy to adjust. Noise level on most roads is minimal, but there is still some noise. The ride is good, even on dirt roads in park areas, etc."

"Driver's seat is uncomfortable on long rides. The driver's seat in the 2012 CX9 was more comfortable."

"seats are extremely comfortable: not too firm; not too soft. Ride is smooth and quiet"

"Very good seats and ride quality"

"It's extremely comfortable. I'm over six tall. The seat is a perfect fit."

"Rattled in the cargo area. Sounds like cheap plastic pieces rattle with each road defect. Very annoying. Bad enough to cause me to buy a different vehicle next time. Poor fit."

"I purchased the SE trim and the seats do no have a driver 1 or 2 memory option which is pretty annoying and the price level should include this feature"

"Excellent seats, comfortable, supportive. Low noise level, very smooth ride"

"Comfortable ride although more road noise than expected. Acceleration is somewhat anemic. Braking is adequate. Lack of digital speedometer readout like our 2016 Camary was not expected. Stop-start function should have a way to Permanately be disabled."

"Excellent well made vehicle. Sturdy, safe, great family hauler."

"smooth ride, great for long distance travel. quiet interior. perf leather seat are comfortable but not great."

"The seat controls are very good to use to create a comfortable seating position. Outside noise is minimal. The ride is very smooth overall. No complaints."

"Seats are very comfortable, smooth and quiet ride"

"Great car fun to drive and low road noise."

"Seats are very comfortable, front and rear. Ample head and leg room front and back."

"I incorrectly thought seats would be as comfortable as those in the 2013 tundra. They are not. I guess you would call them bucket style in 2017- this puts pressure on right leg doing acceleration and braking and becomes very uncomfortable on long trips."

"the vary reason for buying quiet comfortable ride"

"the ride is very harsh seats are very comfortable"

"Very good ride. Comfortable seats. Quiet ride."

"This is the quietest vehicle I have owned in some time. I know you rate some others as quiet such as the Santa Fe, but Hyundai is not even close to being as quiet when you drive in areas with many different types of pavement. I have rented a Santa Fe, and like other Hyundais, they transmit a lot of road noise. Highlander does not."

"The seats are comfortable, but the visibility is obscured by the outside mirrors which are too big."

"We transitioned from a Honda Product and the difference in noise comfort and ride is astounding. We are very happy with the switch. This is now our go-to roadtrip vehicle."

"Comfortable seats and ride. Low noise. Not a sports car."

"Front seats are very comfortable with multiple adjustments including adjusting the length of the bottom part of the seat. The cabin is relatively quiet except for a slight wind noise which appears to come from rear heating-A/C outlet behind drivers side."

"Loud whistling noise from front passenger window above 40 mph. Dealer said other people experience the same problem.Toyota is aware of the problem but nothing has been done to correct."

"comfortable and quiet"

"The rich look of the leather seats that provide heat or cooling is greatly appreciated."

"My only disappointment is the noise/wind sound, I previously owned a Lexus and was quite as a mouse."

"The vehicle developed several interior rattles after about 5,000 miles, the rattles are getting progressively worse. The dealer has been unable to correct the rattles."

"The very first thing I do when choosing a new vehicle is checking accessibility of getting in & out of car & driver's seat comfort. I had a spinal fusion years ago, ease of access, getting in & out of car & lumbar support are the first things I look for. If not satisfactory, I move on to something else. This is my 2nd Highlander, works for me!"

"Front and back seat comfort"

"Very comfortable leather seats, smooth ride on the highway, ride noise is minimal."

"Cooling airflow through the seat cushions is a plus."

"Quiet ride, seats are stiffer than I would like, especially on a longer drive."

"Well padded seats, comfortable control layout, smooth stable ride."

"The arm rest is too short for left arm comfort and the console is too low for right arm comfort. I liked my 2016 van seats and flip down arm rest much better. Noise if very good and ride is very good"

"Very comfortable ride on and off paved roads. Handling & ride on unpaved & rough roads (forest service roads) is very good. Handling in snow & on muddy roads is very good. Seat are very comfortable especially on longer trips."

"very good handling and ride - easy car to drive on long trips"

"Most of our mileage is long dostance, 600-900 miles each. The ride is comfortable and handling is excellent."

"quite, comfortable with good ride"

"I absolutely can not get a completely comfortable seat position though my wife says she loves it. Telescoping Steering Wheel barely can be pulled back to the driver so I must pull the seat a lot more close to it which is not comfortable. Seats are stiff for a Limited with Leather. Noise is not a factor and ride is good."

"Great seats, poor navigation"

"Solid ride on long trips. Seats very comfortable!"

"The comfort and ride of the 2017 Highlander Is outstanding."

"This vehicle has the most leg room. It is a quiet ride with very comfortable adjustable seats. Whether a short trip or a long ride the Comfort level is top notch."

"Certainly the most comfortable ride I've experienced except for my Lexus. Several people who have ridden with me for the first time have specifically commented on how well the Highlander rides."

"Seat adjustment, ride comfort, sight lines, mirror adjustment, climate controls, road worthiness, headlight effectiveness make my well-equipped Highlander a great luxury vehicle at an economical price."

"In everything but acceleration, this car matches the Audi Q7 for comfort convenience, safety, and exceeds it in practical load space. This was a great purchase."

"The seats are very comfortable and easy to use. The front and middle passenger seats have air conditioning or heated seats. It also has dual environment - air/heat settings for the front and a separate unit for the middle. Noise is pretty minimal and the ride is very, very smooth."

"Extremely comfortable and quiet cabin and ride on virtually any road surface. Seats are supportive and comfortable with good adjustability."

"The Highlander rides well and my overall satisfaction with the vehicle is high. The noise level while driving is greater than I would like and that noise icreases with the use of the seat cooling mechanism."

"Not as quite as my old 2001 Highlander, more road noise."

"Very comfortable. Quiet. Able to drive long distances comfortably"

"I have back challenges and the comfort seats in this vehicle is the primary reason I bought it."

"Replaced 2013 Toyota Avalon with the 2017 Highlander. Highlander is superior in every respect to the seats, ride & noise of the Avalon"

"Buttery smooth ride and handling."

"highway driving, wind noise is disappointing/annoying"

"The leather seats in the Highlander XLE are a bit stiff, but I think they'll soften and conform with age. The ride is a bit stiff, due to a firm suspension, but noise is very minimal. The car cruises so quietly I sometimes find I am driving much faster than intended!"

"Really like the quiet and comfort in front seats"

"Quiet ride Comfortable seats"

"The seats are very comfortable especially for long rides. The ride is what you would expect from Toyota (meets all my expectations). The outside noise could be better muffled."

"Found out how good the seat were after an 19 hour trip. I may had one car with better seats, I got my first car in 1956."

"My Highlander has ventilated seats that have been a disappointment. Other vehicles I have owned with this feature have worked very well to keep my body cool while driving. The Highlander with the ventilated seats on high my body parts touching the seat will sweat. I know how well they should work from having this feature in other vehicles."

"The highlander rides nicely. The suspension is a little stiff, pretty much what one would expect with this type of vehicle. Acceleration is decent for someone like myself, but may be inadequate for a more aggressive driver."

"Seating is quite comfortable, very quiet ride"

"The Highlander has a super smooth ride. The seats have excellent lumbar support. Very little road noise."

"The seats are really comfortable, even on long trips. The one downside to the leather seats is that denim discolors the seats. Toyota is aware of this and offer really no help or real solutions. I have asked different people on different occasions and they contradict themselves. So needless to say my vehicle is over 18 months old and still has discolored seats. This was not a cheap vehicle, but I feel like the seat material was very cheap."

"The ride of this car is excellent. The seats are comfortable and supportive even on long drives. The cabin is very quiet when driving and road noise is at a minimum even at highway speeds. The car rides very smoothly and handles most rough road surfaces well. Large bumps can give quite a jolt though. Overall, this is one of the most comfortable cars I have owned."

"Seats are comfortable for shorter, in town driving but low back starts to hurt during longer drives"

"Very comfortable seats, great for a long ride. Noise level is good on highway, ride and hassling also very good. Acceleration good."

"Very comfortable, quiet ride. Seats are supportive"

"my Highlander is noisy on the freeway, just like the Toyota van I once had. I do't like this problem that Toyota seems reluctant to fix in their vehicles."

"Could use more padding in the seat bottom"

"Extremely comfortable. In fact, the reason we bought this unit was just to travel interstate. Added to the other features such as dynamic cruise control, lane departure and blind side monitor it makes not only for a comfortable ride but a safe one also. We enjoy he dynamic cruise conrol as it relieves a lot of the stress driving on the roads."

"The front seats are not comfortable for longer rides. Our 2013 Highlander seats were much more comfortable."

"Rides and handles very well. As a previous Highlander owner, had high expectations and they were met with the 2018 model."

"Everything I was looking for in a vehicle is in the Toyota Highlander.Especially the seats"

"I have an artificial hip and I can drive for hours with no discomfort!"

"extremely comfortable seats, front and back. quiet. rides very smoothly."

"Very nice ride. very comfortable but the outside road noise is a bit to loud. Car could have been better insulated from road noise"

"With 2 kids in car seats and 2 adults with a large dog it accomodates us well. We have preferred this style of vehicle over a van and it has suited us well. It is great on road trips as well, very little complaining about anything."

"With this trim level (XLE) there was no option for memory seat settings. Had this on 2002 Avalon and loved it due to tall and short drivers."

"car is not nearly as quiet or smooth riding as you report. the engine drones loudly around 1600 RPM, there is a lot of road noise and the low speed ride is terrible on broken pavement."

"3rd row seating very cramped"

"Seats are awesome! They have extensions for your legs so you get full support. Very comfortable on long trips!"

"great car"

"Seats are comfortable Ride is very good as it would be in a car"

"I previously drove a Buick Enclave. The seats in the Highlander are utilitarian. They are basic. They aren't plush leather with lots of padding. they suffice."

"The Highlander continues to set the bar for SUV's in my opinion. The seats are very comfortable, noise minimal and ride is exceptional. This is my 3rd Highlander and an absolute pleasure to drive."

"The vehicle provides an awesome ride experience. With feedback from the system I'm able to comfortably navigate the car and know that I'm ultimately in control of the ride. While automated in many respects, the car is quite responsive to human input. Compared to my old CR-V, the vehicle is a "Wow'"

"there is some air noise from one of the windows on the drivers side"

"We are TOYOTA people for 25 years. Never have a compaint"

"Although not limited to the Highlander, it is difficult to get senior people (70+) into second row seats. Had looked into Camry however with lowering seating getting out of vehicle difficult."

"Ride is smooth and quiet."

"At high speeds over 65 road noise is very high - more installation is needed to soften"

"Very roomy, quiet ride,smooth ride. Love this vehicle!"

"It's the quietest, best riding car I've ever owned. The seats are a bit of disappointment, but not that bad."

"The extending thigh support is appreciated and the seats feel sturdy. Little noise comes into the cabin and it's nice to take on a long road trip."

"Excellent seats, precise handling with a quiet ride."

"very good lumbar support in drivers seat. none offered in passenger seat"

"Seats are very roomy and comfortable. Did not get fatigued. Great for long road trips. The tailgate rattled and I had to repair myself with fixes found on the blogs for the Highlander."

"Very comfortable. Great leg room. Soft leather seats"

"Very quiet, comfortable seats"

"All very good!"

"The car is comfortable and quiet. The seat adjustments are good and easy to use"

"Smooth and very quiet ride."

"The interior noise is not acceptable to loud"

"The drivers seat is horrible. I am 6' 3"l, and unless the seat is at the lowest position, I can only sit in the car for an hour without pain and numbness in my arms and back pain. The head rest forces me to constantly nod downward, causing frequent neck pain."

"Very comfortable leather seats. The feature of having two settings that reset seats and mirrors for two drivers is much appreciated, especially on trips."

"I think that the ride isn't comfortable. It feels very stiff and sense we live on some xxxxxxx roads the bumps come through as stiff punches. The little imperfections are also annoying because it feels like there is a jitterbug controlling the car. I also think the road noise is way too pronounced, even on good roads. And the wind noise builds quickly as we get up to speed. Quite frankly with the Ride and the noise inside I want out and into my Pilot. However, I do really like the seats. THe are wide and cushy. THough on a LONG road trip we took, it got a little sore to sit in them. If I knew it was like this I would not have bought it. I think I will be pushing for longer test drives from now on."

"Love how high I sit in the car allowing a better viewing area on the highway. It is such a wonderful ride and the handling is terrific for what it is."

"For the money the Highlander gives you the most up to date safety features compared to any other brand. The ride and comfort features at this price point close to some luxury brands."

"I hope to keep this car for many years and miles. Do not plan on having to buy again at my age"

"My dealer offered me a great deal on my Highlander Limited Platinum. Well appointed, smooth ride and great features overall. I will say there are a few things Toyota could have included in the package level and I suspect they will come in the next model refresh in 2020. Power folding mirrors for one."

"Consider it a good value with safety and convenience features offered and research also shows trade-in value remains higher than other vehicles in this same category (SUV)"

"Nice vehicle in which Toyota has paid attention to all details, even little ones. Advertisements about this are correct. First thing I've noticed. Value, being a little bigger is what I was looking to take grandchildren places . Drives and handles well. Little bland looking."

"Excellent all around vehicle. Good mileage, passenger capacity, options, ride."

"I was pleasantly surprised at how well this vehicle accelerated and handled. Lots of cargo area, great sound system and AWD works well in snow with stock tires. No complaints!"

"I used the Costco auto program to buy the Highlander. The Costco price was under invoice cost and it was a low pressure, low stress experience."

"I found a very good lease deal on this. It is the perfect vehicle for a family of four, with great reliability and holds it's value through the years. Everything we could want for a good price."

"solid, safe, big"

"Great value we have all the Toyota safety sense features and feel good about knowing that if we were in a wreck we have the best technology out there in our vehicle. The same features on the chevy equivalent would have cost us almost 15000$ more. With Chevrolet having poor quality and poor support why would anyone spend the money to buy one!"

"Toyota specs this vehicle as capable of towing a 5000 lb. trailer. After towing an approximately 3000 lb. trailer for 200 miles, the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. SInce we bought this vehicle specifically to tow a small travel trailer, we feel we got very poor value."

"Great High quality SUV for the money."

"Purchased for 35k new and exactly the trim package we wanted. Comparable vehicles in its class were 10k more expensive."

"I think this model and all models in this class are overpriced."

"tons of safety features"

"This car had all of the safety features that we were looking for and they came standard. Other cars that we considered, the safety features that we wanted were optional!"

"good milage, comfortable, great safety features"

"I feel the price I paid for the vehicle and the projected resale and the reliability this vehicle is a great value."

"Given its gas mileage efficiency and resale value, the initial investment is worth it."

"Loaded to the gills for below invoice"

"Excellent value for the money! Very satisfied with my purchase."

"Very good value for the price compared to other similar (and more expensive ones) vehicles. I bought a 2017 at the end of the model year,, got a very good price and a good trade in."

"A lot of SUV for the money, very quiet and a good ride all with the quality of a Toyota!"

"For safety comfort and convenience you really get you mobey’s Worth with the Toyota HiHy. We are VWRY satisfied with a few minor caveats: tire monitoring system does not supply an actual pressure reading, meaning you may not know of a problem with a tire until it’s sctually flat , which happened to us after we picked up a nail. And we had to buy after market just to get a coin holder in the console."

"precisely what we wanted, for haulage, towing."

"Absolutely a fantastic vehicle in every respect. Bought to replace a 13 year old Highlander. Gets used lightly in the city. Bought for safety upgrades useful while driving in the city and fits in city- sized parking spots. My F-150 doesn't fit so well. Also expected price increases due to trade issues, got that one right!"

"Very expensive vehicle"

"It has most all of the features found in more expensive autos as well as getting great gas mileage both in the city and on highways"

"Comparing what the Toyota offers for the price difference, it is really competitive, EASIER AROUND TOWN than the Audi.."

"Additional cost of hybrid system does not benefit mileage enough for cost"

"I think there are a lot of features-safety especially-that are included in the base price and are not add-ons. The model I have is the XLE and is neither the least nor the most "fancy" of the models available."

"They Highlander delivers in all areas and I used CR and other "test results" as research before I test drove and purchased the Highlander. Owning and driving it just confirms what I read."

"You get more convenience items for the same price over comparable SUV's and Pick Up trucks I shopped for. Smooth ride, doesn't feel like driving a truck like some SUV's."

"Quality, quality and let me mention quality. This vehicle is absolutely outstanding. Loaded to the gills with nice options. Fit and finish is superior."

"this car is excellent value for money - loaded with high end features at a mid range price point across the boards from drivetrain to electronics to vehicle safety and controls to comfort / cosmetics"

"Hybrid system is superb at getting great milage and great performance. The size allows for transporting a lot of passengers or a lot of gear. It does the work of many vehicles for a modest price."

"The miles per gallon commuting into Washington, DC from Columbia, MD has consistently been 31 mpg, which is impressive for a vehicle of the size of the Highlander."

"Have never had the first problem with any hignlander I have owned (4). Resale has always been good. Can't Think of anything bad."

"Dealer plays games adding options to the price."

"Great vehicle and there is no feeling of compromise my wife of I have for the vehicle."

"Highway mileage around 28mph when driving near speed limit."

"Worth the price"

"Check each an every control or button that it functions as it is supposed to. Some buttons are not wired correctly or wired at all. Navigation controls are not very user friendly."

"The best compromise between a car and a full sized SUV"

"Great driving vehicle. Performs well on the road. Great gas mileage (hybrid). Comfortable."

"We drove and researched almost all competitors and this car was responsive and quiet The mileage is good Coming from a van the seat are not as comfortable and our cargo moves Other than that we are very satisfied"

"the extra cost of the lane departure system is a waste as it's so annoying I keep it turned off. there's a lot of extras on this model I thought would be useful but really aren't. I also had trouble with the tires that come with the truck, it seemed out of line at certain speeds. After a change of tires the problem was corrected."

"I also do some towing of a fishing boat. I have been very satisfied with handling and towing capacity for a vehicle of this price range. This is my second Highlander and towing with both has been an acceptable alternative to my three previous SUVs which in addition to being expensive to operate come with a significantly higher acquisition cost."

"Price was a little high. Would like to see Android integration and auto map updates without paying fee"

"A great riding vehicle that costs very little to maintain. Also very reliable."

"state of the art safety systems as standard equipment"

"Great vehicle for the price"

"A great total package for the price---all the "bells & whisles" function great."

"good size and acceleration for the price"

"An exceptional buy for the money that offers the comfort of reliability that comes with the Toyota name brand. Compared to other SUV options the Highlander is a great built car."

"All the great features are included in Highlander where BMW, Audi, Volvo all charge thousands more for some but not all of the options you get in the Highlander price!!"

"Compared to a similarly equipped SUV from Lincoln, Chrysler Pacifica or Infinite ----- the lease price on my Highlander is much higher than the competition"

"Extremely Satisfied !!"

"We got an excellent no-hassle deal on the purchase; below the price I expected to pay. As a Toyota, we expect it to hold its value for as long as we own the Highlander."

"Vehicle is very well built,drives nice and has excellent safety features."

"Great value from a great vehicle."

"This vehicle should come equipped with a full size spare tire. We live in Colorado's San Juan Mountains and drive 7 miles of gravel road to our home. I don't like driving on pavement with the doughnut spare, much less on our rocky roads. I would replace the doughnut spare, but have been unable to find a wheel."

"highlander price was fair except when adding market adjustment of $5,000."

"Feature comparable cars are similar in price; however, Toyota's reputation of quality wins in the end."

"Toyota offers many standard updated safety features for the price of their autos."

"Its very good value"

"Has all the high tech automated braking, lane assist, blindspot, cross traffic alerts, good leather seats, ride for under $40,000."

"Good value for all the features on the vehicle"

"The interior was really as nice as the more high end model."

"Overall, I think the cost of cars is expensive. I especially don't like dealing with salesmen and the pressure they exert. You really don't know if you're getting a good deal, despite having cost information from places like consumer reports."

"XLE model good value for the $$"

"I felt it was high priced but comparable to other SUV's in the same class. I feel the Toyota brand is more reliable than the other brands."

"I'm very pleased with value of my vehicle and quality of the car"

"Well made. Beautiful car."

"I have the limited with Navigation and everything in the car is top notch except the Navigation which is sub par. The screen is difficult to read in daylight, the routing and maps are tough to read. A windshield Garmin performs much better."

"All the safety features were included in the model which were a great value."

"Nicely appointed. Love the safety features"

"Well worth the money"

"Very well built and reliable Very nice driving, highway and town One area of potential problem: The passenger side mirror is large enough to impede vision, especially on making a right turn"

"perfect for families, long trips and towing a boat. My husband is 6'6" tall and he fits into the vehicle with plenty of head room."

"Would have liked to have gotten the option where the car notifies you if anyone is in your blind spot"

"When comparing the Highlander to other vehicle in its class I believe the futures (safety & other) included as well as the quality reputation of Toyota provided me with the most value"

"The standard safety features and adaptive cruise control, and power rear door were standard on this bottom line model LE Plus"

"Polished automobile that drives and handles well. I got a great price; $45/month less less than I was offered on Chevrolet Equinox. Absurd. Not comparable autos."

"I bought the Highlander thru the Costco auto purchase program and received a good discount with no sales haggling."

"Great car for the money, all the latest safety features, more powerful engine, better transmission and improved fuel economy for very little more than the 2016 model."

"Interior noise is unacceptable. Toyota is cheapening it on some of the interior materials"

"The vehicle speaks for itself.Great value,comfort ,road handling,all the built in safety features"

"It is an extra spacious car, great for a family & friend haul with excellent gas mileage and strong engine."

"I especially like the new safety features such as the adaptive cruise feature that are all included with the vehicle at no extra cost. Don't understand why some pickup trucks do not include these features."

"This vehicle comes with more storage area and just as many technology features as vehicles that cost much more."

"It is a great car and met all my expectations."

"Safety features worth the extra cost. Should be a standard in all vehicles."

"I love my Highlander. For the price I paid I feel I got a good value, but I wish there were a few more features included. Memory seats, cooled seats, and remote start will be somethings I look for on my next vehicle. However, my 2017 is loaded with lots of safety features, has lots of room and is very comfortable."

"For what I paid, I feel I got a terrific value for a med size SUV, it has plenty of safety features, it is a hybrid, it gets great gas mileage vs my old 4Runner (1996) I’m getting 26-27 mpg in city traffic. Has more power than I expected ,(305 hp) ,has a very nice surround sound system with plenty of bass, plenty of space to put my IPhone, sunglasses, keys, etc, has accent lighting, comfortable heated and air cool power seats, I has a superb ride vs my 4Runner. And I was looking at a Lexus RX350 to buy, but once I saw the styling of 2017 Highlander, limited hybrid, with all the features, test drove both, by far the Highlander was a far better value."

"I received a excellent discount on the new highlander and great price on my 2014 highlander trade-in--my net cost for 42 months of driving was around $200 a month. No-one believes me!"

"Overall excellence"

"Great vehicle, relible, powerful, comfortable"

"Bought the Limited model. It is well equipped with all the latest features, including all new safety applications."

"A much better value than our 2015 Lincoln MKX"

"Very well made car"

"Hendrick Toyota of Apex sold us this vehicle at a more than fair price to begin with. It has been problem free and much more comfortable and fun to drive than we had even realized at the time of purchase. I think the car has exceed our expectations as far as value goes."

"Car performance (drivability, road handling, economy of ownership, craftsmanship) is superior to every other vehicle I have owned or rented and I am 70 years old. I also get a strong sense of solidness and responsiveness while driving."

"Best vehicle I have ever had"

"You get the most reliable SUV available with a Toyota"

"Interior and quietness"

"Good MPG with good acceleration and control"

"As described above, a near luxury SUV for 20-30 thousand less."

"The safety features like blind spot detection, cross traffic warning, etc. I could not get them on Jeeps without Avery expensive package purchase."

"Many extra features (that were separate options with competitors) were included with the base price of the vehicle."

"The Highlander is a solid good quality vehicle for the price. It borders on a premium category vehicle with good ride, comfort, handling and style"

"Pricey, but an excellent vehicle. Worth the price."

"Good value."

"The SUV has good space when you drop the back seats, or the third seat can carry more people. I also like the safety features."

"This is an expensive SUV; however, using the Consumer Reports New Car Match deal, I saved a considerable amount. Therefore, the price I paid relative to what I got I'm extremely satisfied. I previously had a 2009 Toyota RAV4 4x4 limited, and the only thing I gave up was the 4x4. Everything else on the 2017 Highlander Hybrid is much much better."

"At this moment I feel I got what I wanted and expected."

"Got a great deal from the dealer and the service is exordinary! Toyota covers all scheduled maintenance for the first 2 years and a very resonable maintenance package I purchased from the dealer extends that coverage for an additional 3 years and provides free car washes!"

"Excellent quality, fit and finish and resale value"

"Value was OK. Was disappointed that only AWD available in KS due to Toyota putting states into regions. In OK I could find the same vehicle in 2WD but KS couldn't trade with OK because they are in a different region (so I was told) thus for dealership to trade they had to get a veh. in Kentucky. I thought the XLE trim package should include memory seats. You shouldn't have to jump up to the Limited edition for that option."

"The Buick Enclave I previously drove had to be replaced at 80,000 miles. I hate to buy cars. I wanted a car that I could drive for 200,000 miles. That is why I bought a Toyota."

"$379 mo 36 mo lease 12k miles per year. thru Costco"

"A nice set of features especially safety features for a very reasonable price."

"Total package of safety, drivability and style with great resale value. I'm not worried about trhe warranty as it doesn't need unscheduled repairs."

"Got what I wanted at the price I wanted to pay. Know that it will last a long time as have had several Toyotas before."

"Extremely satisfied with value received in our 2017 XLE however would have preferred to have radar alert when backing up standard on the Limited."
