2011 Toy Highlander V6 4WD
Excellent vehicle overall. Excellent alternative to a van. Previously owned vans for the past 10 years (Sienna & Odyssey). It was time for a change. We shopped around for the best mid size replacement as an alternative to a van at our price point. Our biggest concern was loosing the versatility of a van, which will always be there. We drove the Ford Edge, GMC Terrain, and Toyota Venza. Of the three we ruled out the Edge & Terrain. The Venza was the best of the three. We then realized a must for us was a 3rd seat to accomodate additional passengers as needed. We realized we had to increase our price point & test drove the Highlander. We immediately realized this to be a perfect fit.

Reliable vehicle, awd is nice in the snow, get good mpg highway for being awd. Interior is not real plush like a luxury vehicle. The bad is the head gaskets failed at 170000 miles and expensive to repair!

Love it
Purchased the SE used with 83,000 miles and so far have loved it. Within 1 month, traveled nearly 3000 miles-1 long road trip and it drove great. Plenty of room, quiet ride and great sound on Sirius/XM. Rear camera is nice to let you know something is there but do not trust it to back into a parking spot

For those who don't want a Honda Pilot
Let me tell you about the 2011 Toyota Highlander. It may not look as good as a Mercedes and it certainly doesn't drive like a BMW, but you don't care, do you? You're buying a Toyota Highlander. Practicality, safety, and reliability are the things you're looking for, and let me tell you, it doesn't get much better than this. Nothing about this car will leave you wondering what you should have purchased instead. Sure, you could have bought that Audi Q7, but you read the online forums. Repair bills are never cheap for luxury cars. But you don't need a luxury car, do you? The Highlander has everything you need from Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats, automatic headlights, all-wheel drive, and good interior room. Sure, the Dodge Durango has a V8, but you don't need that, do you? You're buying a Toyota Highlander. The 3.5L 2GR-FE V6 is one of, if not the best in the class. Amazingly smooth power delivery, great fuel economy considering what car it's in, and excellent reliability. The only thing you can hear is a distant, low humming sound coming from the hood as the engine drones away, doing all the heavy lifting for you and demanding nothing in return except for a loving and caring owner. The five speed automatic isn't rushing through gears to get you to 60 miles per hour as quickly as possible, no, you're buying a Toyota Highlander. The engine and transmission work together as seamlessly as possible so you reach your desired speed without fuss and without issue. Sure, the Nissan Murano offers better fuel economy, but you drove one of those already. Coarse, rough, and a lifeless engine combined with a dull CVT transmission make daily driving a tireless chore. It looks like a great deal, but quality is never free of charge. You're not spending more to buy a Toyota Highlander because you like it, you're buying it because you know it's the best, and you would expect nothing less from a vehicle like this. Sure, the Chevy Traverse offers more interior room, but you don't need that, do you? You're buying a Toyota Highlander. Children will be just fine in the third row, and it's not like they need any creature comforts or luxury features. You wouldn't want anyone adjusting the sunroof or changing the radio station without your permission. Owning a Toyota Camry is like the color beige. Simple, inoffensive, and boring, but it gets you from point A to point B without any problems. Owning a Highlander is like adopting a shelter pet. Lovable, charming, and easy to live with, you know you made the right choice as soon as you bring it home. Sure, you could have gotten that adorable puppy that also happens to urinate in the house and chew up your shoes, but you don't want that, do you? Of course not, you're buying a Toyota Highlander.
