Excellent Value

We looked at several SUVs while shopping around and kept coming back to the Highlander. It is a Highlander Limited AWD Platinum Edition. We could not be more pleased with this vehicle

Great purchase!

This car drives extremely smooth and I’m very impressed so far. The seats are comfortable and everything is easy to use. I highly recommend checking out a Highlander.

Hoping this vehicle lasts me a long time!

This car has met (most) of my expectations. I love all of the features, but I wish the speedometer was digital to see what speed I am going, and I wish I could see how many miles I have left to an empty tank. A couple other things I would have loved to have is a blind spot monitor, and remote start but these are all just luxuries and do not affect the cars driving abilities. Just my personal preferences! Overall very happy with my purchase and I hope this vehicle lasts me a long time!

Toyota Customer For Life

I don't know how many have got to enjoy a car for 300,000 miles without ever leaving you on the side of the road, but I have. My Toyota Venza was at 280,000 miles and still running strong when it was involved in an accident. The only things ever went bad was the radiator and a/c. Who can say that besides a Toyota owner? My 2016 Highlander XLE that I recently purchased is roomy, luxurious, and dependable. The size fits my family's needs. I can't wait to enjoy this vehicle over the next many years!

Never have had a breakdown. Comfortable and solid

This car has met my needs. It is comfortable, safe, easy to drive, the only criticism I have is a large blind spot on the left front where the rearview mirror assembly is. The position I have my seat and creates a blind spot. It has never been a safety issue however.

Glad I upgraded

Recently purchased and I fell in love. I was heartbroken to trade in my 2011 XC60 because I LOVED that vehicle, but repairs became quite pricey and I could tell it was time. I love the size, comfort, and with the V6 engine she is a smooth ride almost like a truck. I was debating between a few other SUVs but I kept coming back to the Highlander. Since I have a bit of a commute to and from work, I wanted comfort and safety and the Highlander provides both. My co-worker also bought one and she says the same thing. I have the XLE because I had to have leather and the seat warmers

Nicest Car I've Ever Owned!

This vehicle met all of my expectations and then some! Definitely the most comfortable Toyota I've ever owned. Which is saying a lot, as I'm a bit of a Toyota "snob". I prefer them over any other make of vehicle.
