Ordered a to-be-built 2014 Limited in late February, 2014 and took delivery 3 weeks later. Alumina Jade Metallic (green) over tan/almond leather interior. Came from a 1997 Camry LE (186k miles) and a 2003 Honda Pilot (177k miles). I had been long researching the former Highland and current Honda Pilot. The Pilot is too boxy and I grew tired of all the hard plastics (though they do keep well with kids)> The former Highlander IMO was a little to soft for me in interior design. Let me just say that I absolutely love this vehicle.
Love it!

It feels like a luxury car without being pretentious. The only minor negative initially was that the ride was a little choppy, but it handled beautifully. However, six months after purchase, I replaced the poorly-rated factory installed tires with Michelin Premier LTX tires. Big improvement! The ride is no longer choppy but very smooth. And it appears to handle better with wet road conditions. A joy to drive!

Had the car for 2 1/2 years now. Have had some creaks and rattles with the headliner (which persist despite being replaced under warranty), rear shocks needed replacing under warranty as did the rear window struts for the hatch. Generally a nice car, but the transmission is too lazy in downshifting, resulting in a car that feels slow around town, all in the name of fuel efficiency I believe. If you step on it, it goes, but there is always a 1-2 second delay from when you stomp the gas to when it downshifts and moves. Other than those issues, we are satisfied.

Engine replacement at 100,000 miles

I purchased my 2014 Highlander Limited in 2017 at 52,000 miles and had no issues at all for 3 years. We took great care of the vehicle, with regular maintenance and oil changes. I went on a 3 hour road trip and just before reaching our destination, the engine blew. No oil leak, no advance warning (oil was at proper levels before we left), just suddenly stopped in heavy traffic. We could have caused a major accident, but thankfully I was able to pull over just as the engine failed. I ended up spending over $9,000 on a full engine replacement and upper manifold because it was seized. Toyota denies all responsibility, acknowledging this was an issue on 2003-2013 models but was fixed by 2014. I am extremely disappointed, as I have owned multiple Toyota/Lexus vehicles and for a well-maintained 6 year old vehicle with 102,000 miles on it, this should not have happened. Definitely my last Toyota purchase.

Our first Toyota -- it's a mixed bag

We have a Volvo XC70, Honda Accord, Mustang. Added Highlander to get 7 seats. It's good, but suffers in comparison to the others. Nice inside, but nothing like the Volvo. Drives fine, but not *fun* like the Accord, Mustang. It's an SUV, so it's doomed to be a lummox. Front of car looks nice. Rear: odd! JBL stereo: Sound was muddy, bad. Dealership clueless. I finally discovered, in an Entune menu that was *not* Audio, a setting for "surround sound." Changed it to "stereo." Was like a veil was lifted. Still, the sound seems all up in the dashboard -- you must slide the fader nearly all the way back to get sound from all around. Overall: Competent, quiet, boring. That's Toyota!
