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.

I got my Highlander pre- owned/certified and drove it 40.000 in 1.5 year. It gives about 24-25 MPG. This is my first Toyota. I used to own only American cars but none of them lasted more than 100.000. LOVE this car. It’s comfortable drive, super reliable. I have over 65.000 miles on this car and she sounds like new. I love the space, I love I have a small sailboat and I can put it on top and howl it to the beach, I love it has a hatchback (not a swing out back-door as Rav4). What I don’t love: The radio. Its cheap. The interior fabric is cheap/poor quality. The arm supports are short. I barely can rest my elbow & I am normal height. The car's outside its thin.

I love my new Highlander. I loved my Dodge Durango V8, but gas was getting expensive. This is my first Toyota and so far, so good. Very comfortable to drive, I'm 5'2 and he's 5'11, perfect for both. Nice amount of shopping space and visibility. My 7 yr old love all the cup holders. Only suggestion would be if the SUV came with window guards to protect more from the rain when opening the doors. I wish I had gotten the gray interior instead of the tan, just more vacuuming will be required. Over all very happy with my new car.

So far I have enjoyed driving my Highlander, I use it as my everyday car from commuting to running errands. The ride is smooth, and quiet (surprising for an SUV). Have not run into any problems, so far. Still need to test it in the snow! Seems to me that the Highlander is more of a family vehicle than a single persons ride, but it was in my price range, and had all the features I was looking for. I should have waited a few more months for the release of the new 2008 model, it looks sweet.
