Got this SUV 2 months back, so far no issue at all, and what amazing comfort I got with this. Very roomy, fuel efficient, now I am getting 31MPG combine. I guess I can achieve 34mpg when only driving 40M/h. I started with 28 on my first 400miles.
Coolest Car EVER!!

I'm from Denver and we've had tons of snow this winter. I have wrung my car thru the ringer to give it a good "test" and it has done every thing I've asked it to with ease and grace! In addition to the awesome AWD, the ride is smooth, the interior is comfy, and there's tons of horsepower. My low MPG was 22 (85 mph on I-70 in 100 degree heat) and my high was 29 (being a really good girl on the throttle). MPG drops substantially when it's very cold out. Best MPG seems to be city highways with heavy traffic. I wouldn't trade this car for anything else on the road - unless of course it was something real expensive so I could sell it and buy 2 Highlander Hybrids.

The car gets worse gas millage then my bosses full size F-150 which is garbage. The maintance cost is way too high. The brakes are horrible and the abs actuator is a known problem for going out. The battery under the rear seat is way too high in cost and is not a lifetime battery like Toyota claims. The comfort is not what it should be. The awd is not really awd it is front wheel drive until the front wheels spin then a motor turns on the rear wheels. The towing capicity for an suv is bad at a max of 3500 lbs, which a full size Chevrolet car can tow. I average 22 miles per gallon which is almost two miles a gallon less then a F150 pickup. Think about that for a second a truck that weighs more and has a bigger motor gets better miles per gallon then a hybrid. This is the last highbrid i will ever own!!!!!!!!!!

Serious and dangerous uncontrolable torque steer. Poof fuel economy, pathetic tiny front seats with uncomfortable arm rests combine for a truely sad ride. Lots of rattles and squeaks. The car has an almost rubberband motion to it. I will never buy another toyota. Toyota flat out lied, told me you don't need the 4wd and as it turns out it is the only thing that helps control the uncontrollable pull to the right in the 2wd version. That is why the 2008 hybrids will only be offered in this layout. Never again with this POOR company. The gas motor thumps when it kicks in, got much worse after the first 100 miles. Deceptive regarding their claim of a "seamless transion" between gas and electric.

We bought our 2006 Highlander off the lot used with 30,000 miles. Very inexpensive to operate, loved it, until it turned on us. While turning around in a friend’s driveway, it took off backwards. Smashed the garage door into their vehicle, damaging the rear hatch. Our bumper also caught the pillar between the garage doors, removing it from the foundation, which required the stone faced to totally be replaced. DON’T EXPECT TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP TO CARE ABOUT ANY OFF THIS. 1ST we called the dealership, they stated it was an SUA issue and we would have to contact a special Toyota number designed to handle Sudden Unintended Acceleration issues. There are not enough words left to describe in detail the time spent the almost 2 months of our unresolved (Case) as they called it. A Third party assessed the Vehicle and its computers at Toyotas request. They then sent us and Toyota their report, which at first Toyota claimed they never received. The report showed that neither the brake nor the accelerator was pressed at the time the vehicle took off backwards. My wife, who had just backed into the, slightly up hill driveway, had just left off the accelerator, glanced down reaching to shift it into forward, and had less than 30’ to realize it was speeding up before it hit. Since it is a Hybrid there were no auditable sound to alert her of the acceleration. The dealership and Toyota offered NO assistance, regarding the need of a mode of transportation to work. The dealership could have cared less that the vehicle they sold us had seriously failed and Toyota’s response was lethargic. I do not know what could have happen had someone been standing behind our Highlander, therefore my wife and I chose to never dive it again. I would advise anyone thinking of buy an older Highlander Hybrid to check, how many times it has crashed on its own. Want some interesting reading Google SUA.
