This truely is a dream like machine. Perfect quality, not a single blemish, not a problem in the 1st 6,700 miles we have driven, great snow traction, a head turner as you drive, a joy. Interior, console and trim are what you expect in a pricier Lexus. I read that Toyota uses the same suppliers as the Lexus. Our choice between the roomier Acura MDX ($3K more) and Highlander. Our Honda Accord experience was so bad that we decided go for the Quality leader. MDX reviews say Transmission Clunks and windows/sunroofs leak. I am glad we stuck with Toyota.

AWESOME SUV

Test drive the six and the four cylinder. The six cylinder is definately the choice model. It has been about a year since i picked up the 2002 Highlander and it has been perfect. Smooth and powerful v-6, comfortable interior, great handling for Suv and good gas milelage. Everything you need is a mid-sized Suv.

Another Toyota Winner

I was a little apprehensive about the Highlander at first - but after 6 months of driving this vehicle is a real winner! I know it's a SUV that that will never see more than a dirt road but it doesn't need too. The majority of the SUV buyers over pay for off-road capabilities that they never use. Stop pretending and save some money.

Overall, one of best, if not the best,new vehicles I've ever purchased (7 previous). The ride and quietness are top notch. recently, my wife & I transported her elderly aunt & uncle in the Highlander. They were truly impressed, and these are pretty selective individuals, as they have always had luxury vehicles. Her uncle couldn't get over the quiet, car like quality & comfort. I have, so far, (knock on wood) had no mechanical problems whatsoever. I've had only changed oil and rotated tires. p.s. it has also performed excellent during the early winter we've been getting in upstate NY.

I got my Highlander about 7 months ago and would not trade it for the world. We had tyr all the different types of suv and was not happy with one thing or another. We tested the Highlander back in December of 2001. we went back in May of 2002 and got one.This suv is one of the best.We got he the v6 2wd and agree that is one of the best v6 we have tested.. Love the Highlander
