Highlander is the only car for me!

2013 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
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.
Owned it since it was new and it's been great

2013 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
Othere than a few minor dings, and we now have 135,000 on it, the vehicle has been dependable, looks good and runs great. Never an issue other than stuff that wears out like brakes and tires.
Awesome MPG and comfortable ride, no cargo space

2013 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
We bought a 2013 Highlander Base because it is the only model with a 4cyl. It gets great MPG for a Crossover, and has surprising power for a 4cyl. The front seats and back seats are really comfortable with the exception of the middle seat in the back row. It is seriously about a foot wide, so no more than small children will be able to sit in the middle. The third row seats are not … comfortable. The Highlander handles and drives great. After 6 months of owning the Highlander we are selling it to buy a Honda Pilot. The only reason is the storage space in the hatch. The Highlander appears to be designed with the idea of only using the third row on occasion. When you are using the third row we cannot even put a 24 pack of water flat in the hatch. You have to turn it sideways. We were willing to sacrifice luxury for the MPG, but when using the third row the cargo is almost completely useless.
