  Drives like a dream! - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By Rob Gillespie - September 27 - 2:00 am

  Powerful, smooth, quiet...if you are looking for comfortable city driving, this SUV will not disappoint you! I cant comment on off-road use because I dont do that. This is not considered a "luxury" SUV like the Land Rover, but gosh, what else could you want? If you buy the Limited model you already have almost every feature you can think of. This is the best car Ive ever owned! I would definitely buy another one.

  Very Nice - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By SeanTh - September 13 - 2:00 am

  We have had our 2K3 Highlander for one month and we have been very pleased. The ride is on par with the Lexus RX300 for $5000 less. It is just the right size for my wife to drive - big enough to carry the baby, a stroller and groceries with room to spare - and small enough to maneuver in the parking garage at work. The biggest problem is that it is so quiet and powerful, you can really get going fast if you dont watch the speedometer.

  GREAT CAR! - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By Huey - August 29 - 1:13 am

  What a good investment this suv was. Gas mileage is unbelievable for an suv. The leather is so soft and comfortable. It handles impeciably, nice and tight on corners, super smooth over bumps, and little to no noise intrusion. The acceleration is what you would expect in a sports car, the Highlander is quick, and agile. Its an suv, but with out all the downsides of an suv ( like: gas gussler, big and hard to manuver, not comfortbale, etc) Has a great resale value,......well duh, its a Toyota! (american car companies need to get on the trolley, forgien cars are just outstanding)

  Highlander Smooth Rider - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By mktennis - June 4 - 10:00 am

  The Highlander is as complete a package in the mid-sized SUV around. The cockpit is well thought out and convienent. The AWD version sits up nice and high and handles rough unpaved roads with no problems. Interior is large enough for 5 and luggage.

  Blown Head Gasket Engine 4cyl Bad News - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By toml1958 - June 1 - 5:26 am

  Beware of the dreaded code stating leakage in exhaust system, for this is an idication of the head gasket going and leaking coolant. Upon further review it is found thatrear head bolts are stripped due to excessive heat most like caused by foam insulator pad between plastic intake manifold and engine. Some say engine is toast, but the fix rec. is a time sert insert kit (approx $500 helicoil) with drill guide. Mine is to be currently repaired at about a total cost of $2,900.00 as long as the helicoil kit holds the head bolt torque, we will see? It is a design flaw in my opinion as it seems to be a regular issue with the four cylinder Highlanders approx.2001-2005? Failure was at 160,000 mi.

  Loving my new suv!!! - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By Bullseye - May 28 - 10:00 am

  The Highlander is a pure crossover suv. It has the body of an suv, but the smooth ride of a car. The Highlander is also $10000 less than the Lexus RX300. I received my suv with a quick order package and extra options for about $24000, which is a bargain.

  HIGHLANDER IS FUN - 2003 Toyota Highlander
  By CRumRI - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Ive had 2 Avalons - traded one for a Chrysler Town/Country and that was the most expensive piece of junk we ever bought. Toyota quality far superior. Instrument panels, center console, etc. all good placement. Really a fun vehicle with PLENTY of power, GREAT gas mileage for a SUV and easy load/unloading.
