My first Toyota

I really like my Highlander. Very comfortable and size is perfect for my wheelchair. Only thing is it feels so heavy compared to Chevy Uplander.

Sporty, yet Luxurious

I love my new car and find myself wanting to go places just to drive it! I love the sun room and the running boards. (The running boards are not standard, so it makes the car a little more unique.)

Wouldn’t buy again. 2002 I had was bett

Rear cargo area not flat, rear seats useless. Headlight coverage dangerously poor. Too wide. Too short - bump head getting in. Comfortable. Reliable. Ugly design.

The SUV I love

This car meets all my needs. It has a lot of leg room in the front and back. It is the vehicle I wanted and the price I wanted to pay.

The car is perfect for a family of 4 that travels.

Plenty of room in there! Easily pack the back and a couple of pets to boot. If I could change one thing it would be the head rest positioning other than that our XLE has everything and then some. Surprisingly good on gas as well

What a fantastic car!

This car is beautiful inside and out. I went from Toyota to Honda and now back to Toyota so I know I am getting quality, comfort and reliability! I have had my eye on this kind of car for sometime but was really hoping to go with the nicer trim. Purchased an XLE will low mileage for a 2016 and am very happy with the vehicle so far!

Outstanding vehicle!

My Highlander is an outstanding small SUV. It drives and handles like a car with the carrying capacity and flexibility of a truck. The staff at Luv Toyota (Lakewood, NY) made the purchase and scheduled maintenance for this vehicle painless and easy. I have never owned an SUV before, but I am now hooked on them (versus a car) and also on Luv Toyota.

Love, Love, Love my Highlander

I love my Highlander. It seats up to 7 passengers or I can lay 2nd and 3rd row seats and transport larger items as big as a couch. Very versatile.

This a great looking suv for the money

This is our second highlander, had a 2008 sport and loved it. Never a problem after 165,000 miles. But wanted more safely features of forward collection, blind spot monitors and lane departures alert with back up sensors. Found a limited with these features. Couldn't be happier. Quality built and roomy. Good fuel mileage and well built.

Most reliable car I have owned

This car met all my needs! It’s very comfortable and has enough leg room to take my Dad anywhere. The whole family loves it! I’m so glad we purchased the Highlander!
