  Best SUV Ive Ever Owned - 2016 Toyota Highlander
  By Road Warrior - April 13 - 6:44 pm

  I needed a 8 passenger SUV for my family with growing kid, their friends, sports, activities, etc... I narrowed it down to the redesigned Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander XLE AWD. I reviewed many customer, and on-line expert reviews, and for me there was no contest... the winner was the Toyota Highlander XLE. From looks and comfort to performance and safety/technology. All of my past five SUVs all drove like trucks, but not the Highlander, this one drove like a Lexus! It is definitely a head turner that Im proud to drive. I got the Blizzard White which is not your standard white, its a more luxurious color for sure. Im 62 tall and I have plenty of room in the drive seat, which is not the case in a lot of SUVs. Just to be picky...I wish it had a few more USB ports, better headlights, and blind side indicators for this model, which is the more popular middle of the road model. I could not comment on the maintenance costs or repair frequency since I only have 1k for miles. Great vehicle overall and so much fun to drive! You will not be disappointed with the Toyota Highlander!!!

  New Toyota - 2016 Toyota Highlander
  By Lawrence - April 7 - 10:43 pm

  I had a wonderful experience when purchasing my Toyota. The employees were very professional and experienced. I traded my 2014 Terrain for the Highlander and the difference is unbelievable. This is the quietest car I have ever had. It handles great and the 6 cylinder is really good. I am still learning all the electronics, but the keyless start is amazing. Interior is beautiful. Everything is well made. There is plenty of leg room for my 66" husband. He loves to drive the car. He thinks I made the right decision purchasing the Highlander Limited. It was a few thousand dollars more than the XL and worth the difference. We have always bought GM vehicles and this is our first Toyota. It is much better than the Terrain.

  Best mid-size SUV - 2016 Toyota Highlander
  By Dogg - June 10 - 9:15 pm

  Extremely comfortable. Good looking. Proven reliability. This SUV is great. Zero complaints. I did not like the Honda Pilot interior, nor the past reliability, nor the "new" engine, transmission of the Pilot.

  4Runner for Highlander - 2016 Toyota Highlander
  By Lawrence C. Reardon - November 27 - 8:41 pm

  I needed to replace my 2007 4Runner Trail with a new vehicle that would get me, passengers, the dog, and goods, through the snow, the mud, and the dust to my camp in central Maine. I also needed a safe car that I could maneuver on the highways up and down the East Coast, get decent mileage, and have a solid array of safety features. Unfortunately the new 4Runner does not have adaptive cruise control, blind spot/cross lane warnings, crash avoidance systems, etc. I refused to pay an extra $10,000 for the Lexus. So I ended up with the AWD Highlander Platinum Limited and its extensive array of safety features. Obviously, there is a big difference between driving a truck-based and a car based SUV, such as the Highlander. In this respect, I dont miss the 4Runner Trail. Well see when Im stuck in high snow whether I miss the 4WD. But for now, Im thrilled driving the Highlander. While the interior looks massive, it isnt a big car. While I thought about the Ford Explorer for a couple of days, as I liked the parking assist and the safety features involving the front of the car, I opted for the Toyota because of quality assurance and the cheaper price. I have driven it for two months, including nine-hour trips up and down the East Coast. I have stopped worrying about changing lanes because of the safety features. I was able to carry more goods than the 4Runner. And on the last trip North during a cold winters day, I averaged over 25 mpg...with only 1500 miles on the odometer. Who knows what Ill get during the summer after it has been broken in. My personal list of likes besides all the safety items: a comfortable seat, a decent sounding audio system, a nice interior design, especially the shelf in the front to carry wallets, phones, etc., the flip-up back window, the car handling, the automatic headlights/bright beams, and the automatic windshield wipers. I only wish they had included front parking radar. I am one of the last to have a Windows phone, which doesnt quite mesh with the Entune system...but it works. While I miss the rugged 4Runner capability, but I now have AWD and all types of safety mechanisms that will keep me safe. So far, it exceeds expectations.
