Boredom: a blessing and a problem.

I’ve owned many different types of vehicles in my life: sports cars, trucks, large SUV’s, sedans, etc. The biggest quality to complain about in the Highlander is that it is arguably one of the most boring vehicles on earth. It’s interior styling is boring. It’s drive qualities are boring. It’s just a boring car. However, that’s not always such a bad thing. Compared to one of my sports cars the Highlander’s performance and styling is extremely boring; but it’s repair schedule is also boring (aka, it’s way more reliable than the more exciting sports car). Sports cars are fun and exciting, but they often end up providing unwanted excitement to your bank account. My highlander might be boring to drive, but it’s extremely reliable, cheap to own, and lasts forever. I have over 100,000 miles on this car and it’s survived off of regular oil changes and scheduled maintenance. Not a single repair needed so far. So... long and short: GREAT (but boring) vehicle that’s comfortable to drive and serves as a utilitarian choice for anyone looking for a stress-free ownership experience. UPDATE: This car continues to grow on me. Its refined transmission, ample space for passengers and cargo, and unbelievable reliability have won me over. Who cares if it's boring!? It's absolutely bullet-proof and with all the "excitement" we have gone through in this world over the past couple of years, it sure is nice to know that my car brings a level of consistency into the mix. Well done, Toyota. The Highlander is a fantastic vehicle.

Cold Seats

Altogether a great car. FWD gets us anywhere in Northern MI. Orig. Toyo tires were very, very bad - they would cause hydroplaning even in light rain. Ave miles are 20=21 mpg. Plenty of power seems like a v6. Worst problem is cold air gets in from the doors and causes very cold behinds on both sides. We installed lambswool seat covers but it did not help. Don't buy unless you have heated seats installed. Otherwise expect 5 months of cold behinds.

The Highlander is really a great car. It is fun to drive, has enough horsepower, and is roomy enough for all 4 of our grandchildren. It drives well and handles quite well in all types of weather. It is so dependable! I looked at a lot of SUVs before choosing this one. No others were even tempting.
Great car. Good value. Good daily driver

I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander Sport 3.3L V6 3rd row in a great dark blue color. I like it a lot overall, back in 2007, buying my first new car was a big deal, but I was still on a tight budget, but being me, I wanted the sport package, and a v6 with a 3rd row. I got exactly what I wanted. Makes a near perfect daily driver, love all the storage, but at the same time, it has "no frills" for example: Grey cloth seats, plastic dashboard and other stuff, nothing fancy which is fine. I like that is is higher up of the ground than my old 2007 Ford Five-Hundred 3.0L V6, getting into it feels halfway like getting into a pickup and halfway like getting into a car, which I like. Really reliable car. The maintenance light has been on for about 2 years, I've got it checked out like 10 times since only for them to say my engine and other stuff is fine. I get the oil changed about every 6,000 miles, and it really does treat me well. I would recommend this car. Being me, me and my friends are very serious emergency vehicle videographers/ photographers, and as everyone expects, we have 8 people total and a lot of equipment. We rarely carpool in my Highlander, but it is very helpful to have the 3 extra seats, even though you are practically eating your knees back there, 3rd row has a few inches of legroom at most, but it's fine. It can always meet my needs and carry my friends and camera equipment, I like the sunroof even though I forget about it all the time. Great car overall

Way too much road noise!

Purchased new in Aug 2007 after selling my Avalon. Does the job, and its lack of "flashiness" is fine with me. But the road noise - ugh!! My father-in-law's 2004 Highlander is super quiet. So now I wonder if this noise issue is unique to my vehicle or all '07s. Upgraded to Bridgestone tires but didn't help with the noise. Music and conversation has to be at very loud levels to hear. Plan on asking dealership about it.
