Solid do-everything vehicle, with a few demerits

Pros: * Dependable all-purpose vehicle; lots of space for hauling stuff, seats are easy to fold down flat * Good mileage for a vehicle this size, though nowhere near Prius levels of hybrid economy Cons: * I hate the passenger seat. Only have 4-way adjustability is ridiculous on a 40k+ vehicle (ours is the Hybrid Limited; only the highest level, Platinum, has full adjustability for front passenger) * JBL stereo is mediocre * Drivetrain kind of "moos" * Navigation system UI is laughable; can't imagine why anyone would want to use it instead of their phone. No Apple/Android integration in 2018. * Handling is a little wallowy, but then again I didn't buy this expecting a sports car

3rd Highlander Hybrid, don’t think I’ll ever buy another type of car, looking at the 2020 model now. If I did decide to change it would still be something in the Toyota family!

Hybrid is best. At this point I have driven 70,000 miles, and the Highlander continues to perform admirably. I do regular service at the Toyota dealer, of course, and the Highlander is still like new.
