    I researched all mid size SUVs and test drove about 3 of them. The highlander had the best ratings, a great ride, decent gas mileage. I feel comfortable, safe and stylish.

    I have had the Highlander for over a month and have been extremly pleased. It handles beautifully and rides like a dream. The Schaumburg Toyota dealership has been great. There was a small chip on the door panel that I didnt see and when I returned to the dealership they fixed it immediately, no questions asked, and even gave me a loaner to use for the day.

  • I love it!! - 2003 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    The Highlander is a great vehicle and I have enjoyed every minute of driving it. The ride is great-very smooth. There is more front leg room than the Honda Pilot which I saw at the Auto Show in Chicago. My Highlander has been very reliable and the gas mileage is quite respectable for an SUV. I get a lot of comments from it from neighbors and coworkers and would recommend it to anyone.

    Im getting 21mpg in town (who ever heard of a car that gets 20% better gas mileage than the sticker?) Great rear seat comfort. Good ride. I couldnt be happier!

    Great buy! This suv is not only affordable, but fun to drive. The clean design is both classy and sporty. I would recommend this truck to anyone looking for affordability and style.

  • Highlander Best Vehicle Ever Owned - 2003 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Often we go to Colorado to visit family. These visits usually include trips to the mountains (Estes Park). While we were looking for a new vehicle, we wanted something that was quite, handled well in the mountains as well as the highway, and got reasonable mileage. The Highlander has proven successful in all of those areas, thus far. We are happy with our decision to purchase the Highlander.

  • Love My Highlander - 2003 Toyota Highlander

    The Highlander is the smoothest riding vehicle I have ever owned. I like being up a little bit higher than every one else. It is also easier for my elderly Mother to get in and out. I traded in an Avalon that I dearly loved for it, so it had better be a great vehicle!

  • Versatile, Roomy & Confortable - 2003 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Bought in Aug 03. Great ride - with nice feeling of height above the road - like a delux car/truck. This 4 cyl has good pick up & about as much power as my previous 6 cyl 95 Camry. Highlander is totally assembled in Japan - well built, sturdy & quiet. Dont pay for factory alarm. Get after market Viper550 system installed for about $395 - which includes remote engine starter. Im stll only getting 16-17 mpg after 2000 miles - should be closer to 21 mpg as shown on sticker. Hope it will improve after full breakin.
