My mechanic sold me - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By John - January 27 - 6:36 amEase of parking, good on the interstate and comfortable seating for four adults are some of the reasons we purchased this high end Highlander. But the biggest reason was my trusted mechanic recommended the Highlander to my wife. We havent been disappointed. Smooth ride and able to negotiate in tight parking spots are two more benefits we were expecting from an SUV.

SMackey - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By SMackey - January 24 - 10:00 amThe Highlander does not handle like a typical SUV it handles more like a larger car model. The cruise control, widshiled wipers and lights are all at your finger tips without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

New Highlander Owner - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By karmi - January 17 - 10:00 amI dont care for the interior design. Console in the middle of the front seats is a waste of good space. Leave it open and put the cup holders on the doors like they are in the back seats. Ive bumped the gear shifter into neutral at least 10 times already, I dont like it where it is in the middle. Better to have put it on the floor where the wasted space is, or back up on the steering column. I wish the gas tank was a little bigger, I have to get gas more frequently now just because its a smaller tank than I was used to. I do like the way it drives, I feel safer in it than I did in my old car and the exterior design is really nice.

A Solid Grocery-Getter - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By Hokie - December 17 - 10:00 amStepped up from a RAV4 for added size and safety. The stable, car-like feel of the Highlander offers no surprises. Although hesitant at first about the 4-cyl., we are finding that its adequate for our needs--mostly "grocery-getting" with an occasional 150-200-mile expressway trip.

First-time Toyota Owner - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By jpjr - November 4 - 10:00 amAlways had full-sized SUVs. This vehicle is truly a dream. A real sweet ride. Very smooth and excellent handling in rain/snow conditions -- holds the road effortlessly with a great secure feeling. First time I can honestly say that I took possession of a new vehicle and never had to go back to the dealership with a complaint about anything!!

Better than my A6 Audi - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By martin j model - October 24 - 10:00 amHaving put up with 2 new BMWs and 2 new Audis over the last 6 years I am pleased to have a car that is reliable and well built unlike the over expensive German cars that let me down often. The Highlander is as comfortable and quiet as either of the German marques and is liked more by my family and the Golden Retreiver!

I love my new Highlander! - 2003 Toyota Highlander
By Andrew 0801 - September 28 - 2:00 amI absolutely love the new Highlander. As for reviewers who complain of wind noise on the freeway or cheap feeling materials, I have no idea what theyre talking about or what type of car they are used to driving. The car is quiet, well constructed, feels very solid, thoughtfully designed, and handles well. I know of several people who own the RX-300, and this car feels just as good for a lot less money. The sales/support from the dealership has been excellent, and they made purchasing the car a pleasant experience. We also looked at buying the MDX, but overall found the Highlander to be a better value and have absolutely no regrets.
