aerodynamics problem
The Highlander has a smooth quiet ride until the back windows are open, then all hell breaks loose! There is an unbearable rummbling sound that gets worse as one continues driving. This vechicle is perfect if one plans on never opening the back windows. If you plan on buying a Highlander I strongly suggest you test the back windows first!
Comfort
At first I thought the inside would be small but there's more headroom than if you sat inside a Grand Jeep Cherokee. There's also plenty of footroom and lots of storage space. It's a great value and it even decreased my insurance payments after owning a Nissan Maxima...overall great SUV that doesn't feel like an SUV at times.

2001 highlander
bought 2001 in feb 2001, not long after they came out. looking for 4wd to get around in the snow that drives like a car. v-6 engine has plenty of power too. easy to get in and out of without running boards, etc.
THE BEST SUV!
TOO NOISY WHEN WINDOWS DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED.
only one serious problem
this is a great vehicle. just got back from a 3500 mile drive to Canada and it performed wonderfully. even had some impressive off road moments on the rocky "beaches" of Nova Scotia. the ltd has a good stereo, otherwise I recommend the standard w/the 6 cyl. got the dvd which quieted the kids less than I had hoped, but it is impressive, especially the audio quality. got good mileage @ 25. serious problem: back window noise. Plus, only average rollover protection is another definite minus. but, still a vehicle I recommend highly.
