Used 2003 Toyota Highlander Consumer Reviews
Very good vehicle
The Highlander is not very exiting to drive but a very good all around vehicle. It has a smooth ride and is fairly quiet. We average 21-23 MPG. It has been rock solid without a single problem in 47K miles. I agree with the person who wrote in about the wind noise with the back windows down. It really hurts my ears. There is plenty of room for passengers, but at the sacrifice of a little more cargo room. I like that you can step right into it without stepping up or dropping down. Drove it from CT to FL and I wish the front seat was a little more comfortable. Once complaint is that it seems to require constant corrections to keep driving straight on the highway (alignment is fine).
HL in Russia
Very good car for cold climate. Very smooth ride on bumpy roads in Russia. Got it at 72K miles and run 50k more within 30 months. No problems with the car so far.

Literal tank
Our 2003 Toyota Highlander has been in our family since we’ve bought it, keeping up with regular maintenance so the cars engine is in great condition with lots of power. Currently the car is at 264000 miles without any issues except for the A/C and windows constantly breaking. I’m currently 17 and have been driving this car well… like a teenager so the fact that no problems have popped up is mind blowing and I’m not scared to go a little crazy with it and not have to worry at all this car is amazing and I’d recommend it for anybody looking to get one. Just for the love of god do not take it off roading :)

Me and My Highlander
My experience over the past year has been excellent. One of the first snow storms I was in happened in NY State where I found myself in 3 feet of snow. The car handled flawlessly. I had just traded in my Lexus LS400 two months before and am sure glad I was in the Highlander!
Vanilla
I've owned the Highlander for five years now and have never gotten used to the exterior styling. It's about as vanilla (plain) as they come. The interior is well done, however, and the car provides a very comfortable ride, although it's a bit noisy at highway speed. Reliability and quality are good - just as one might expect from Toyota. However, if you're looking for good styling and a powerful, fun car to drive this is not it - nor is any Toyota for that matter. The car lacks style and horsepower and has no towing capacity. Most importantly, it lacks rear interior space and can only carry four to five adults. (Only small children can fit in the optional rear seat.)
