I gave up my sports car for this SUV and have few regrets. I sacrificed tight steering and handling and quick start off the light for a quieter, smoother, roomier car for me and my family. In retrospect, I should have done this a long time ago. The cargo space with easy fold seating is great for hauling away moderate cargo. Even though it is higher off the ground, it's so much easier to put the baby seat in the second row. The leather bucket seats in my old car were difficult to get in and out of. The AWD is great. My RWD car was slipping all over the place. Looked at Tribeca, Pathfinder, Enclave and Tahoe, but this one felt right for me. Good price and good size.
Happy with 2nd Highlander & recommend

I traded my 2005 Highlander for a Classic Silver Metallic 2008. Love the new looks! Very happy with the improved braking, steering and overall power. Love the convenience of opening the rear hatch window. The ride and suspension are not quite as smoothe as my 2005 Limited was, but this is a sport suspension and the car now has 19 inch tires and larger base. The new Limited felt about the same to me, so I went with the sporty look and happy with it. I love the layout of the new controls, large and easy to find everything. I miss the armrest. Even the door side is too low to rest an arm on - I am 5'5". Rear backup screen & the sensors I added are nice to have. Overall, thumbs up!

So far so good with the HL Sport AWD. The back door access to the second row defintely has more access width than my previous Pathfinder. The power is there, but I haven't quite 'opened' it up yet since I'm still in the breaking-in mode. The brakes are very firm, but even with the 'Sport' the steering does feel a little 'light.' The interior fit and finish quality is much nicer than my '05 Odyssey. The backup camera with it's separate screen is a nice feature especially since most of the information that I saw before hand almost never mentioned it. MP3 player with the standard radio setup. I'm hoping in 2-3 years down the road that there will be some nicer all-season tires available.
Excellent choice

Gave back 05 pilot for the 08 highlander. Huge improvement in looks, ride comfort, shifter location, a/c, stereo, moonroof. Miss homelink and split 3rd row. Display gives you current mpg and different useful data as well as back up camera. Very quiet, steering feel is light.
I only had my highlander 1 month!

I loved and still love the short time i had with my 2008 highlander sport. July 4 2023 someone smashed into my front passenger side fender! It knocked the center console out of the clips, tore the front bumper off, damaged the radiator and a\c ! This is the part im not happy with is that not one of my air bags went off I was at stop sign and i was just starting to drive away from stop sign, speed limit in is at 25mph next to a kids park. Hell when she hit me everything i stated above happened plus i had a bruised chest and ribs as well as my heart and lungs. She falsified her info. So no insurance from her. And we had just bought the car had it parked we had not got insurance on it soon enough.
