I researched every car in this class and kept coming back to the Highlander. In sales and I'm a road warrior so comfort, ride, handling and reliability are key. This car characteristics of a SUV but the ride of a luxury car. Very happy with my purchase. However Toyota should include at this price level blind spot sensing mirrors, back up sensors and memory seats. The nav system is a bit difficult to use and should come with lifetime free updates.
Highlander is the only car for me!

Have a 2002 Highlander and we put 283K miles on it. The A/C went out. Thought we would buy a different car, but nothing else satisfied us. So, we bought a 2013 Highlander with only 30K miles. Plenty of cargo space, plenty of head/leg room. Handles great. Wouldn't know it's only a 4cyl. Fuel mileage is much better than advertised. We are getting average of 25.5 combined. Love the Highlander.

From Venza To Highlander

I traded in my 2010 Toyota Venza for this Highlander because I wanted something more refined and comfortable. And I was right with choosing the Highlander. The ride is so quiet that when I had the radio off once, I only heard the A/C when I was going 40 mph. The ride is so smooth, reminds me of a 2011 Toyota Camry I drove. This car is so much more refined than my Venza. So Quiet. Its also easier to get out of, especially for my grandmother. I also feel safer in this. I've only had it for three weeks, So I will do another review after I drive through the snow with it. The car handles well, its not thrilling or bad. The steering is better than My Venzas. This is my 5th Toyota.

I got this highlander on the first of december last year. Since then, it has been a great car. I know, it's not that exciting but it repays you with its great reliability. Everything has been fine, despite some issues with routine maintenance at my Toyota Dealer. The steering is unpredictable, it's not dangerous or scary. Sometimes it has a weightier feel (which I like) and other times, a light steering feel. On a trip to Indianapolis I averaged 24mpg there and back. I like the iPhone/iPod integration and back up camera. It does many things well. Quiet ride and handles like a car. It was fantastic in the snow. It went through 6 inches NO prob. Not sure If I like the 2014 Highlander design.
Gets even better with age

Our Highlander is nearing 100,000mi (we bought it with ~30k) and this car is relentlessly reliable. Oil changes and tires are all I've done, with the exception of the driver's window motor that broke and needed repair. The only con is the stereo, which sounds tinny. Other than that, it's comfortable, reliable, great in the snow or rain, and has a design that looks ever better with age. UPDATE: I wrote a review years ago but thought I'd update it. Our Highlander is now 10+ years old and has 130k miles. Still relentlessly reliable. Only needs gas, oil changes, brakes and tires. The only thing has ever broken was the driver's window motor. Last month I drove it to the mechanic and asked them to look at everything, looking for any possible issue. Nothing. They said I could change the transmission fluid if I wanted to. (I did). I've never experienced a car built to last like this. I'll come back here for the 200k mi update and I have no doubt it'll be the same: relentlessly reliable.
