A Sport trim level debuts and revised SAE testing procedures have resulted in reductions in the stated horsepower and torque ratings, though actual output is unchanged.

Pros:
  • Rides and handles like a Camry, smooth V6 engine, fuel-efficient four-cylinder, lots of standard safety features, high crash-test scores.
Cons:
  • Poor access to optional third-row seat, bland personality.

  • Love My Car - 2006 Toyota Highlander

    Purchased new in September of 2006 and have loved it from day one. Would highly recommend it.

  • My 2nd HL-"there can be more than one" - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    When it was time to replace another car and after exhaustive research we bought our second Highlander. We did so because of the latest info out there about 06 but also due to the fact of having one for the last four years that still looks brand new despite living with four teenagers. They are reliable, get decent gas mileage, responds well in many different driving conditions and has great leg room for our tall family.

  • Great But Could Be Better - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I love my Highlander! It is a great vehicle to drive. Comfortable seats. Music is good but should have more speakers in back. Needs air for back also. One of my biggest upsets is the paint job. The paint gets scratched very easy, too easy - Im not happy about that. She has a beautiful purr.

  • Great SUV - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    While weve only owned our new HL for a few days, we have fallen instantly in love with it. Its a great mid- size SUV. We opted for the FWD 4-cyl for fuel economy reasons and I have a 4x4 if needed. Its very comfortable, the 4-cyl provide adequate power and fairly quiet on the road. So far, no complaints.

  • MY WIFES HIGHLANDER - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    We were surprised to see how much comfort and room the Highlander has. This is a for sure winner for us as a family car and long trips. I feel we made a wise decision on being able to save gas over other SUVs. We were also surprised to find that we were able to get this mini-SUV with a lot of optional equipment, including a dvd/tv/game flip-down sys. And perma plate for a low price verses the others. Again this vehicle rides smooth, quiet and comfortable. Thanks Toyota. From now on you’re our first choice. Thanks for all those air bags.

  • My first new car - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Just purchased a 2006, V6, 4wd, 3rd Row. Bought it to augment my 1991 Toyota Corolla sedan (200k, few problems). This is my first new car and love it. Great power, smooth ride, and more room than I will probably use. Bought mostly because of brand loyalty. Looked at competitors. Bought the Highlander.

  • I love the Highlander!! - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I have always loved Toyotas, I have had two in the past... they are always reliable! I chose the Highlander for that reason! I was pleasantly surprised with the gas mileage being higher then expected and it handles really well!

  • Somewhat of an expert... - 2006 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the Highlander because I have owned six (6) of them. Thats right... I buy a new one every year and love the vehicle. It fits my needs as an SUV while it rides like a dream. The gas mileage is great for an SUV and is affordable to own. I miss not having the option for an auto dim rearview mirror with compass. It was available in the past but a service note came out against it because installation could interfere with the operation of the air bags. Very happy that fog lights finally became an option. Also glad that a center console became available in 2002. The 2001 didnt have one and you couldnt get an aftermarket for it. Shifting is a little sloppy

    I absolutely love my new highlander. It drives extremely smooth and very quiet. You can not hear the road noise. I highly recommend the Highlander.
