Used 2004 Toyota Highlander SUV Consumer Reviews
This is a great car
I bought this SUV because it had been rated excellent and I am so glad I did. It's beautiful to look at and so much fun to drive. I don't have to fill up as often with this SUV as my parents do with their Honda Pilot.
I love my Highlander
The Highlander has great pick up for a 4 cyl. especially when entering the highway or in a passing situation. It has handled very vell in snow/ice conditions. The front wheel drive seemed to have a smoother ride than the AWD during my test drive. More car like thank truck like. The interior is roomy. My only regret is that I did not get the optional 3rd row seat. The dashboard is easy to read and controls are "user friendly"

Great Buy
I bought my '04 Highlander about six weeks ago - my first Toyota. So far it has proven to be everything I was told. I bought the "base model" with a few options and got a GREAT deal. Given the current price of gas, I opted for the 4 cyl. and I am getting 26 mpg on the highway. The ride and acceleration is smooth and comfortable. So far a great car!
From Explorer to Highlander
My first Toyota. Had been driving Ford Explorers for the past few years and I was pleasently surprised by the refining charcteristics of the Highlander. Throttle Responsiveness is much nicer than Explorer (2002 model comparison) as is handling, and interior design. Brake pedal feels a bit mushy in the Highlander. Overall, I would say the Highlander is very refined mid size SUV that competes or exceeds others in its class.
So far it is GREAT!
I am a new owner of the HighlanderLTD, and have fallen in love with it! It's great looking, well designed inside and out! The ride is smooth, the controls easy to use, and it is great in the snow! The moon roof feature is great as is the general visibility.
Just Plain Happy
Not much to it -- just plain happy with this SUV. Runs well, is comfy, nice inside, not a huge thing.
Very Happy w/my HL
Overall, the HL feels very solid and more refined than other SUV in it's class. Drives like a car, easy to park in tight spots. Interior is very pleasant especially with the "faux" wood trim.
The most satifying car I've ever owned!
Used to admire Benz and owned from 190 to S class. All have more problems than this silky smooth Highlander. Wife's car and she loves it. Ride is smoother than my curret Lexus with 2000 miles on it. Hard to believe. 10,000 miles and no problem whatsoever so far. Absolute buy!!
Limited Version
A very comfortable riding vehicle. To me, the limited package is worth the extra coin. Smooth power on demand. The extra gear in the tranny is a driver's delight. My MPG is close to 20. Not great but adequate. No gripes here!
Everything & More-SOLD!!!!!!!!
Shopped around and tested everything from Nissan to Honda to American makes and settled on the Highlander.Took almost 8 weeks,5 cities & countless phone conversations but it was all worth it. It rides so smooth you'll think you're in a mid size/luxuary car. Blazer felt like a truck and the X- Terra really felt like you were off the road all the time. Drove both 4 cyl. and 6 cyl engines and settled on 6 just for pure pickup getting into traffic Sharp car,from color to performance.Wide seats,even in the back,according to my passengers.So far gas has been fine(18-19 around town...20 on the trips).. Won't get another new car review from me for 12- 14 years...
