Because the SUV is in such high demand , there is not a lot of room for haggling on price. Excellent vehicle , looks great, & handles nicely. Definitely glad I purchased this vehicle.

Not a good car for someone who has great hearing

For the most part, the 2015 Highlander is a nice car. After driving it for 2 days, I noticed a noise (faint) but you can hear it when there is no music playing or fan is off. I took it to the dealership and they said this is by design. The sound is like a hard drive resetting or on overdrive. Situation: When the Auto for temp is on or off, there is an intermittent revved or overdrive sound coming from the temp console. I checked with similar model and voila there is that sound. Piercey Toyota technician stated "Normal Serval Motor Changing Mode" I don't know if Toyota would build such a product with "defect".

The 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited is great. The only thing I would change is the external driver and passenger mirrors. They are very large and create a blind spot. Everything seems great so far-had the SUV about one month.

I've had my 2014 Higkander for 1 year, 8000 miles in, and I must say, it's near perfect. Not a single problem. Super smooth ride Beautiful interior. Great acceleration, fantastic gas mileage. I have 2 caveats. My biggest issue is the second row. While it is very roomy, and fits 3 across, the middle seat is not comfortable or practical. I have 3 kids, and liked it because I could fit 3 across in the second row, and load up the back with the third seat folded down for vacation and trips to the beach However, the middle seat is not very comfortable. Because if the console, it protrudes out, is very hard, and is not practical for long trips. So I have to put my youngest in half the the third seat, and jam in luggage or beach stuff next to her. Besides that, this is a luxury vehicle for a very affordable price. Perhaps a bit more room behind the third seat would be nice too. Besides that, if your looking for a 3 row SUV that's classy, super smooth, and problem free, don't even think about getting anything else. I had a 2001 navigator before this. While I loved the size, it was fraught with constant problems. Expensive problems.

Worst braking system of any vehicle I have ever owned and I am 64 and a huge car buff. Have owned no less than 10 Toyota's and my family in the last few years bought over $250,000 worth of Toyota vehicles. Plan on a trip to the dealership often and for the same repeated problems. Unfortunately the company has become complacent like GM once did and we all know how that turned out. The brakes on the Highlander,the Tundra and Sequoia are horrible when it comes to the wear and tear and they will NOT stand behind them. Arrogance comes to mind when I think about the direction Toyota has taken and I would welcome any conversation with potential buyers to share my very negative experience with Toyota vehicles.
