Used 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Consumer Reviews
I love my Hybrid Highlander
I love the fact that the car is so quiet you forget it is actually on. I also love that it will get amazing mileage when the a/c is off and you run it at low speeds. (This was very important during Hurricane Rita, when we simply could not buy gas anywhere and the roads were completely jammed with people trying to leave town.) It has amazing power, yet it is very earth friendly. Great combination!
So far so good
Fun to drive, great pick up and is not as tippy as other SUVs. I can carry lots of kids and gear in a car that gets nearly 27 mpg (still not the epa 31 though) and I'm emitting less carbon. Liked how it has "smart" air bags for passenger side. For a limited edition, it lacks amenities: seat warmers have only one temp; cooling system has only one zone vs. driver/passenger dual temp zone; sun visors seem plasticy; lack of AC outlets in 2nd row; doors don't auto lock. Also, the third row is really meant for small kids. Although I am glad it doesn't scream enviro-weenie, wish there was more "green" signage on car to help lessen the stares from non-SUV drivers - perhaps a small window decal?

My Toyota Delight
We have enjoyed our Highlander Hybrid immensely. We appreciate the better mileage than the regular Highlanders which we have had in the past. It has all the creature comforts of the Camry plus the Navigation system. It is very responsive to the foot when accelerating and will really get out and go in passing situations. The seating is comfortable and will seat 7 when taking out the expanded family. It is a good road car which lets you sit back, relax, and take in the scenery.
Excellent Hybrid Toyota
An excellent Toyota vehicle once again!! This vehicle is simply flawless. Not one thing has gone wrong to date (11 months); nothing.
Good all purpose green SUV
I bought my Hybrid Highlander when it had 10000 miles on it. I am a little disappointed with the gas mileage - 25-27 mpg. regardless of city or highway driving. Certainly that is better than the 17 mpg the previous minivan got, but I was expecting mid-30s. The blind spots are bigger for a shortie like me than I would expect from such an otherwise well-designed car. I drove a 2008 model though and that one is too big and the blind spots are worse- couldn't even see approaching cars at intersections due to the huge side mirrors. Also, this vehicle is very safe. I was rear ended by a drunk driver while I was stopped. The Highlander sustained rear end damage but my passenger and I were absolutely unhurt. We could feel my car absorb that huge impact.
