Great SUV
Traded in my 03 Highlander which was a great vehicle but the improvements made to the 08 blow the 03 out of the water. The 08 has fantastic leg room (both front & back seats), very comfortable bucket seats, a smooth ride & more than enough power with the V6, 270-hp. The overall redesign of 08 has added some great sight lines & a bit of masculinity.
Best investment ever!!
We own an 08 Toyota Highlander Sport AWD model. Has 178k miles right now. Still running strong. Haven't had any mechanical issues at all! We absolutely love this crossover Its roomy,quite,sleek,I just can't say enough. Amazing vehicle overall.
Year and a half prior 8 years as a owner
Purchase 2016 Highlander, love but wished gas mileage was better. I had a 2008 prior to this. Both cars are very comfortable and drives like a car. Very few repairs, light bulb headlight, cabin air filter, tires and battery in 9 years. I would call that great. New car so far nothing but normal maintenance. My 2008 sold for 15k, paid 31k so held a great resale value.

Driver-side Window
The build quality and reliability of my 2008 Highlander has proven to be poor with only 59,000 miles on it and Toyota Customer Service was a waste of time...for example, the driver- side window failed from a plastic part and the dealer charged me over $400 to fix it. Toyota Customer Service and the dealer provided no consideration whatsoever. Yes, it was outside the warranty and Toyota has no obligation to fix it and I have no obligation to purchase another Toyota.
2008 Highlander Sport Disappointment
First 2001 Highlander was superior to my 2008. Poor visibility. Seat is so uncomfortable hate to drive for any length of time. 2008 does not handle as well as prior model. No traction in the snow. Mine is an AWD 6 cyl. Interior parts fall off. Very disappointed with 2008 Highlander.
