We purchased a 2015 Platinum back in March to replace an an Enclave with over 140K miles. Loved the Enclave, but my wife just wanted a change so we settled on the Highlander. The car performed flawlessly for 7K miles until it was involved in a front-to-side collision. The entire front end was taken out. This occurred at approximately 40 mph and there were no injuries. The car was repaired and once again performed flawlessly until my wife was hit by a drunk-driver last week. She swerved to avoid a head-on crash and the entire left side was taken out. Both vehicles were traveling at approximately 40 mph, and once again, no injuries. We don't know if this will be repaired or totaled, but either way we will be headed back to the dealer to get a new Highlander as soon as the dust settles. We can't say thank you enough to the folks at Toyota for protecting our family during both of these unfortunate incidents. I know there are a lot of choices out there in this class and price category, but if the Highlander is on your list, safety is a concern, and everything else adds up for you don't think twice.

Too Many Pages in Manuals.

My greatest complaint is the Manuals for the Highlander and the Navigation with aids are not updated to current models. My Highlander Manual referred me to a page in which the compass was located in the rearview mirror. After an exhausting search of the Manuals I emailed Toyota Customer Service and two days later I get the info that there is not a compass in the rearview mirror. I am sure there are other shortcomings in the over 1100 pages of manual, however, updates should be done when the year changes on the vehicle. On the positive side, the suspension is great, the cabin is quiet, and vehicle as a whole far exceeds any criticism I read before purchasing this vehicle. UPDATE: I remain overwhelmed with the volume of info in the manuals. So many things I have simply given up on as I don't need them for the operation of the vehicle After 2 1/2 years, my assessment remains the same about the manual. During this time I have put over 20,000 miles without the hint of any mechanical failure. There have been "O" repair to this vehicle. In my opinion, it is one of the best, if not the best, SUV on the road. Highly recommended and my next purchase will be the Toyota Highlander.

We got the 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum All-Wheel Drive. Of the 14 vehicles I've owned in my lifetime, this is the first one that we bought brand new, 0 miles. And we love it. There's a reason why the Toyota brand (despite the recalls from 2 years ago) keeps its image positively high.

Great for a family of 4. The vehicle has plenty of technology and safety features. It is quite to drive and gets the 18/20/24 EPA's MPG estimates as advertised, at least from my experience. The vehicle drives well and is extremely comfortable. My only complaint is the voice recognition software on the Entune system - it is horrible. Toyota really needs to focus on this issue for their 2016 model, and hopefully provide some software updates for the 14/15 year models. At this price point, the system performance is unacceptable.

Dealers do not seem to have a overabundance of the high end Highlander AWD limited platinum. It was like pulling teeth to get a good discount on this model. Our local dealer had none and would offer no discount if he was to order one, tried to switch us over to a Rav 4! don't like to do it but had to travel to locate a dealer who would work with us and it still took over 3 weeks to come together and settle on a price. I do not think you can turn down a price discounted 10 to 12% on the platinum model , that seems to be about as good as it gets. Had it about three months and am quit satisfied with it, will see how it drives in the winter weather of Ohio. Ordered the running boards, remote start ,side moldings and mat options , planning on keeping it for quite a while. Only thing I don't like so far is as it downshifts back into 1 gear the engine revs a little high and the speed increases, torque converter does not seem to disengage during coasting to a stop. Mirrors are a little too large. Mileage is now 38000 and it has been 3 yrs. of ownership, and I still have no complaints other than the large mirrors . Holds the winter roads quite well, smooth and quiet, good on gas , Would buy again!
