Used 2007 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Basics Work
Bought my 2007 Hylander new and currently have been putting 20,000 miles a year. Total maintenance has consisted of 2 sets of tires, a battery and an alternator. Alternator went at 100,000 miles. Used synthetic motor oil from first change - change the oil 3 times a year with filter. Driving - front end is very light - does not do well with snow, ice or heavy rain - but just have to slow down and take lack of traction into account. 6 years into the vehicle - 120,000 miles - hoping to get 4 more years!!
Best choice out there
The car drives great and for the price and financing, there was not a better choice out there. We also looked at a RAV Limited but the Highlander was roomier and rode better. The RAV limited was more sporty and had all the extras but at the end of the day, the Highlander was it. This has been a great car for the family.

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.
2007 Toyota Highlander, 2.4L & Alloy Wheels.
I owned a 2001 Highlander and liked it so much I bought a 2007 before Toyota supersized it in 2008. For me, with 80 cubic feet of cargo space, FWD and 2.4L engine, it is why I still own it with 146,000 miles. Never had wheels aligned. It cruises at 75 mph fully loaded with passengers and cargo, no need for a V6. There is nothing out there to replace it but I have to because I should have better automatic braking at my age. Perfect size, I would buy another but it's not out there. Toyota, do it again.
