Highlander 2005 - 2005 Toyota Highlander
By SUZ - June 24 - 11:00 amThis is the greatest vehicle that I have owned. Its fun to drive, very comfortable and I would buy another in a heartbeat. I have had several different vehicles including 3 SUVs and I love this one the best. Having the 3rd row is like a bonus. We dont use it much but it is nice to know its there if we need it.

My Highlander - 2005 Toyota Highlander
By Derek - June 8 - 12:00 amWe just got our Highlander A few days ago, And we LOVE it. Its a great SUV just to go around town. The dealership was soooo frendly, we felt very welcome when my wife and I and son had enterd the building. We have a 2.4 4cyl engine and it has a lot of pep. We were doubtful at first on the 4cyl, but when test drove the V6 it felt the same. I would recommend the Highlander to anyone that need a mid-size SUV that doesnt need to go off-road.

By Paul Compratt - May 5 - 2:13 pmJust got back from Lake Tahoe and one of the heaviest snowfalls in decades. The vehicle handled like a dream never slipping on the packed snow and icy pavement.

LOVE MY CAR!!! - 2005 Toyota Highlander
By TRDFAN - April 14 - 7:00 pmThers only 2 items that could be better. The drivers seat is a bit narrow, and there is more wind noise than I would orfer inside the vehicle. Other than that its almost perfect!!

Love It - 2005 Toyota Highlander
By tbone1 - January 22 - 11:13 pmI sold my Toyota Avalon and purchased the Toyota Highlander. I gave up an extremely great car as I needed a 4 wheel drive vehicle. I have found the Highlander to be a smooth riding, functional vehicle. It drives like my Avalon and turns on a dime! I purchased the Limited Edition and love it. The only thing wrong is when put in gear, the doors do not lock. The Service Department said there is no way to correct this. I was very disappointed as I like this feature. I also miss the date being displayed, but feel I will learn to get over that. Overall, my husband and I love this SUV.

2005 Toyota Highlander EXCELLENT! - 2005 Toyota Highlander
By Cindy Duncan - December 30 - 4:00 amhighway and city driving on a dime and superb handling, comfort (the seats are ergonmically correct and adjust for the back!). plenty of room in back of SUV (for a medium sized SUV) to put the seats down and allow for my 55 pound border collie and dog ramp. still plenty of room for storage for other things. lots of power for a V6 but drives with the ease and comport of car, NOT truck, given it is a 4WD SUV. VERY EASY to put the seats up and down in the back. EXTREMELY EASY to use things like the heating system. in fact, temperature control inside is phenomenal. plently of leg room in front and back seats when the seats are up. starts right up and totally reliable in every way!

Satisfied Grandmother - 2005 Toyota Highlander
By Diane - November 26 - 6:00 pmI wanted the Highlander because of its safety evaluation. I frequently have my grandchildren with me and feel they are much safer than they were in my little sedan. It is easily accessable for the baby in the carseat as well as the older ones. Also it is so much easier to load and unload.
