We bought the Highlander for my wife and she loves it! It has great visability and all options. It is a very comfortable ride with plenty of power with great fuel economy. I would highly recommend this for anyone who needs a little extra room and does not need an off road vehicle.

I accompanied my sister to buy her 2nd car in 13yrs(first car-camry '89 with 200K miles and still running). This SUV or CAR, or WHATEVER is a perfect vehicle for daily commutes and long drives. We already love it the first time we drove home. This is a "Grand Slam" for TOYOTA.

SUV For People who Hate SUV's

I wanted a safer car for my commute and my family (we have to tote a wheelchair.) OTOH, I have always been one of the "SUV-Hater" crowd. I had to take a deep breath and get over my bias when I saw the Highlander. It is a beautiful (dare I say macho?) design and drives wonderfully. I seriously recommend people look at the 4 cylinder. At least with front wheel drive it is plenty zippy, no problem with getting on the highway or going well over the speed limit. I am getting about 20 miles/gallon in family driving. I was getting about 23 in the Ford Focus SE wagon I traded in. Give it a look.

2003 Highlander

After researching this vehicle online for many months, it was time to test drive one. We test drove an AWD, V6 with Sunroof and roof Rack System. The engine was very quiet for a V6 and had plenty of power as I took it on the highway. On the return trip, it was my wifes turn to drive. She liked that fact that she didn't need a ladder to enter the vehicle. The steering was responsive and the suspension was good on the frost heave encrusted roads. We had two of our children with us (15, 11 ) and they were comfortable in the back seats. The youngest trying every knob and button he could find! All in all, a pleasure to drive and is very quiet.

Have quite happy with the thing overall, much better than the American equivalents. Wanted to like the Jeep products but one test drive comparsion was enough to go with the "CATruck" Have not been sorry yet!
