Best SUV for small family

2006 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

We have 3 dogs and one baby. I have had a few suvs (Ford Explorer, Chevy Trailblazer, Jeep Cheerokee, and Toyota Highlander) and this one is the best all around. We got the 4 cyl. for better gas milage and it is great. We live in the burbs and have no need for a 4x4 but want the flexibility of an suv. This is by far the best suv out there, we test drove the pilot and loved it, but kept coming back to the highlander and have never looked back. Great, great fun little suv!

Bought this car 5 years ago with 94,000k miles. I am at 200k and this baby still purrs. The only negative to this vehicle has been the radio...lousy! I get the oil changed every 3000 miles and drive mostly on the highway. I am a true Toyota lover!

Love the All Wheel Drive as snow has NEVER stopped me. Not great gas mileage, due to AWD. I didn't expect the 4 cylinder to be so strong, but it's great. >2017 Update review: I sold it in 2016, partly because of the resale value $6300. My ego bought a beautiful Volvo XC90, same age with less miles, but that '06 Highlander had better outward visibility, lower gas mileage and lower repair costs.

2006 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV w/3rd Row (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Rides like a mid sized sedan. No blind-spots! Easy to get in and out. Outstanding tow vehicle for small camping trailer (Casita about 3000lbs). Finish holds up just great. Minimal maintenance so far. Put heavy duty struts on at 110000 miles. Heavy duty premium brakes and rotors at same mileage with serpentine belt and timing belt at same time. Flushed transmission and trans-axle at same mileage. Always used full synthetic oil. Wash monthly and as needed. Wax every 6 months. Vacuum weekly. Note we replaced the 2006 Highlander with a 2016 Highlander Limited Platinum in January 2016. Love it! Higher towing weight was primary reason for the change. GF

Great ride for the money

This is our first Toyota from a long history of Hondas. So far so good. Were impressed with the build quality and ride quality as well. We love the easy to use gauges, and ergonomic design of the cabin. The rear seat area is very comfortable and large, we dont have the 3rd row seat. We opted for the 4 cyl. engine after driving the V6 we couldnt justify another $2K for the minimal difference in performance. The dealership is offering some great incentives with the redesigned 2007 around the corner.
