Used 2001 Toyota Highlander SUV Consumer Reviews
Best Car Ever!
We bought the HL used with 90k miles on it. I have had it for 3 years now and it is by far the best car I've owned. It now has about 140,000 miles on it and still runs like new. I LOVE it! We just recently bought a 2008 HL because we loved it so much.
My 3rd Toyota
I've owned a Tercel and a Camry and both were great cars, but the Highlander is my favorite Toyota. I bought a 2001 in 2003 and have had no problems. LOVED it when I bought it and still love it 3 years later.

Good Purchase Decision
Ok, I have a daughter, I travel a lot in my vehicle and occasionally transport items like (furniture, tools, sports equipment, etc.)...this vehicle is perfect for my lifestyle. If you like sitting up higher (than a standard car), having some decent acceleration (if you're merging), incredible braking capabilities, want to transport little ones around town, or have an active lifestyle...this vehicle is for you. THIS IS NOT FOR TOWING!

Just note, love the vehicle!
What I wish I would have known
I have owned our Vintage Gold Highlander for 3 years now and am very satisfied overall. But the Highlander has a couple of quirks that a potential buyer should beware: 1) Excessive wind noise. You can not drive over 30 miles an hour with the windows open because of the extreme howling and pressure to your ear drums. It's unbelieveable! Also the car will "moan" sitting still in the driveway when the wind blows hard enough across it. 2) No drip edge above the doors so everytime you open the door (if its raining or snowing) you get a wet seat. 3) The cup holder design is less than convenient. Buy a after market console for storage and cup holders.
