I bought with 85k miles and now have 108k miles. So far I've done mostly minor repairs including 2x window motors, alternator (2x), battery, valve cover gasket and the large 90k service which includes timing belt and water pump replacement. This may seem like a lot but these repairs are relatively minor and my goal is to keep the car on the road for another 100k miles. Performance wise the v6 model feels strong. The interior design is very functional and sits 5 people comfortably. The exterior paint is fading and has completely peeled from the side mirrors. This is fairly normal for a 12 year old car. Overall I am happy with the Highlander.

Purchased this vehicle in 2006 for my wife. After about 2 months we realized that this vehicle is not for us. It has the V6 but is very underpowered. It will hardly get out of it's own way. The seating is very uncomfortable. The most disappointing feature for us is the traction control feature. This cannot be turned off. While in light sand at the beach, the traction control locked up all wheels with the brakes as the wheels wanted to spin. This also happened in an icy condition last winter. Very disappointing. The quality of the vehicle is typical Toyota. It will probably outlast us all. If you are considering a Highlander, think about how you will use it and what your expectations are.

The only pricey maintenance item is the required timing belt replacement every 100,000 miles so when this Highlander keeps going for over 200,000 miles you will need to budget $500 for each change, otherwise just oil changes, tires and brakes

I have the hybrid. I love this car. Very reliable, no problems at 40k miles. I've towed several trailers over 900 miles each time, no problems.

Love it! Drives like a Camry and just as quiet, luxurious and comfortable too. Handles well in all situations. Just all-around great performance! Stereo, air conditioning and heating are incredible in sound and performance. Everything it's cracked up to be.
