It has been a wonderful surprise in almost all areas. We were able to get all the goodies we wanted at 10k less than some of the rivals we compared.
Excellent Choice Overall - only minor issues

Had the 2014 Highlander XLE AWD for almost one year. Bought it in Feb 2014. I like the vehicle overall. Very comfortable, wide vehicle makes handling really sharp, but long reach to the glove box. Great interior and exterior finish and appointments. Large touchscreen display is outstanding but here is the big negative. The voice command system is very poor. Let's put it this way...If you have SIRI that would grade A+ and this voice system would grade F- Just does not undertand me. Sometimes the voice recognition recognizes me sometimes not....mostly not. That said excellent overall, mileage, power, safety, braking, reliable. I plan on getting Car-Play.

After more than six years and 149,000 miles we still love our Highlander. The only repairs have been brakes and I had to disassemble the rear wiper assembly to lubricate the motor shaft. All maintenance has been done on schedule at the dealership until this last year as the extended (never used) warranty expired. Our grandchildren love to ride in the third row but they are difficult to hear. The driver "Easy Speak" gets their attention when required. We tested a Limited model before purchasing the XLE and found the seats to be much harder. The visibility past the passenger mirror and pillar is poor at best. I love the feel of it on the open road. The original tires have been replaced with Michelin LTX tires that are fairly quiet allowing normal conversation at highway speeds. Average fuel consumption has been 24 mpg although it does much better on long trips. It has never used any oil between changes. I had the transmission fluid changed by the dealership at 120,000 miles and it continues to operate flawlessly. The nav system is mediocre and can get you, and itself lost. When equipped with Toyo Observe snow tires it is unstoppable and a source of great comfort in bad weather. Oh, the ticking from the valve train is normal. Now at 180k miles and performing flawlessly. Still doesn't use any oil between 5k mile oil changes. Still "ticking".
My greatest CUV ever

I bought my Highlander in July 2014 and never look back this is by far the best SUV/vehicle I've ever had it has a smooth ride is it's comfortable and has lots of room for storage. I would definitely recommend this truck to anybody looking for space comfort and great reliability.

Trouble starting after 10k miles

After an exhaustive search of 3rd row SUV's we chose the LTD Platinum for it's interior features and smooth ride. But, after 10k miles, there are issues. 1st: the roof drains (not sunroof) had defective hoses which leaked into the the 2nd row seatbelts & carpeting, instead of the ground. 2-3 weeks later it was fixed but, the car wreaks of chemicals. 2nd: similar to another review, it has a problem starting. Toyota towed it, tested the battery, & said it's fine. Even with auto headlight feature, Toyota says it's b/c headlights were left on. Meanwhile, now it sputters if/when it chooses to start. 3rd: the 2nd row cup holder gets stuck open & not great if you want kids in the 3rd row.
