My first Hybrid

I purchased my first toyota and hybrid Sept. 6th. I love it. It's fun to drive. I have put about 1000 miles on it and only put about $40.00 of gas. My son loves the moonroof. We like looking at the stars at night. You just have to get use to feeling the jerking when the gas engine stops and electric engine picks up. Also when you use your brakes you feel and hear them. I do also hear more road noise than I'm use to but it is still a great SUV.

Highlander hybrid AWD

Gas mileage seems best after about 10 minutes of warm-up driving. Keeping an eye on the milage gauge helps a lot. Acceleration is phenomenal, real smooth power with the CVTC transmission, but heavy foot kills the milage. Real world average to date about 26-28 mpg, but have seen as much as 33 mpg on one 60 mile trip. As always, Toyota build quality is first class, we have 3 other Toyota vehicles and zero complaints. Shore Toyota also great to deal with, once we got past the sticker shock.

29 mpg for the first 700 miles, which exceeds my expectations, especially during break-in.

I truly love driving this vehicle. I have the acceleration needed combined with awesome gas mileage. I am averaging 27-28 mpg mainly highway miles. It is very spacious except for the 3rd row seat. It handles fairly well especially for a SUV.

Great Car, Hybrid or not

I've only had mine for about 400 miles, but I like it very much. It has a comfortable ride, but you can still feel the road a little. I do not detect the engine noise that the editors talked about, even with the windows down. It handles fairly well for an SUV, but it does get a little mushy in the turns. I don't mind that tradeoff for the comfortable ride. The cargo area is terrific for a midsize SUV.
