Purchased w/ Nav, JBL system and rear seat DVD. For the price you would think you bought a Lexus, but overall very smooth, comfortable ride. Hybrid system is great, only 2 weeks old and getting 24mpg w/ mixed driving. Power tailgate is a nice feature along with the stow away middle seat. 3rd row isn't the best but certainly livable for adults for short durations. Fun to drive? Eh, it's a SUV/Crossover. How fun can it be? If I wanted spirited/fun driving, I would be in my '06 TL. Overall a very nice upgrade from our '01 Pathfinder LE.
What a piece of junk

We owned a 07 highlander hybrid and it was solid as a rock, Sold to friend with 160 k and he's still driving with no issues. Thought we would update to a 10 model. Researched well and found one with 80k, one owner, dealer serviced regularly. Have had it almost 2 years and it's nothing like older model. Seems cheaply made- engine is noisy to point that it's embarrassing to be near it when engine cycles on and off. Gas mileage is poor, best is about 24 mph. Had to replace suspension bushings at cost of over $1200. Mechanic said factory bushings were a joke- replacement aftermarket ones are 3 times the size of factory. Still has play and clunking noise in front end.Check engine light comes on and off- code points to a evap canaster/pump- part cost upwards of $1,000. Now rear hatch glass will not open with button- another expensive repair. Paint finish is poor- seems like it chips and scratches just by looking at it. Have always owned Toyotas but not after this one. Update, Traded in for a used 2017 Kia Sorrento SX. Been very happy with the quality and performance of the Kia.

I'm at about 1000 miles and still breaking it in. Averaging 24.5 in winter weather so extremely happy with that. Traded a Camry Hybrid in after 63,000 miles so I know how to maximize this from the "get go". It's so much more functional than the Camry, and I wanted an awd for the wife who is now driving daily in all types of weather and needs the space to haul the grandkids around. I am pleasantly surprised at how much more comfortable it is over the TCH. It is extremely versatile yet an economical vehicle to drive. You do have to "baby it" to maximize the mileage, but even my wife is getting around 23.5 and she does nothing special.
Awesome car

I've owned this car for about 1 month now. Very smooth ride in city and highway. MPG is about 27 average. The MSRP was 49k and I paid 37k for a company demo model with 14k miles and I still got the 0% financing. I cannot complain much about this car but Navigation has a not so good user interface. Overall, if I have to buy a car, I will buy this again but MSRP $49k on highlander seems bit too high.
Love it

We've had it 4 months and 5000 miles. It's awesome to drive, and has plenty of room for family of four (2 teenagers) and dog to go on vacation. More than that, you'd need a car-top carrier for stuff. Third row seat is okay. Our mileage has been pretty good; we're averaging 24-25 overall. 28 on highway and 23 or so in town (we live in a small, very hilly town so anywhere we need to go is uphill and less than a mile away. Doesn't help us take advantage of hybrid very well). It drives beautifully. When we need to merge we turn off "econ" and boy, do we zoom. It's more comfortable than any car I've owned (including other Toyotas).
