Oldie but goodie

Dream car. 20 years old and runs like a dream. Comfortable ride. This car is a work horse. Very well built. So happy we chose it. This car has four wheel drive option so it drive well in snow. Air conditioning works well. Cools off car quickly when needed.

Oldie but goodie!!

Love it. Smooth drive, never really feel all the horrible pot holes too much. It's a nice, heavy car. So when the last person rear ended me , a few years ago, i did not get hurt. He was going fast and his air bag opened up. Not mine. Can't seem to sell it. I just love it. Maybe one day if it drops dead. Great car. 22 years old. They dont make cars like this anymore.

Oldy But Goody

2004 Toyota Highlander with 166,000 miles has been reliable, cost-effective transportation. We believe it still has "life" so will invest in its longer service. Has taken us on long trouble-free trips including over mountains, valley and around town. Flexible capacity with fold-down rear seats. Jon W.

267,000 miles

With 267,000 miles and still rolling. Just basic repairs and still looks great V6 Highlander. One of the better Eng From the start it’s a bit ruff on tires. I never do get much more than 35k on tires no matter what brand or how good my truck runs

Great vehicle.

This is a very dependable car. I got it used with over 300,000 miles on it several years ago and it's still going strong. It has plenty of cargo space. It's the best car I've ever owned by a long shot.

17 years & still running smoothly.

Love my 2004 Highlander. It hauls alot, lots of pep with V6 engine. Very little maintenance or repairs needed. Smooth handling. Many safety features for 2004. Got top of the line Limited & very happy overall. Sunroof replaced 3 times. Bad design.

Very Satisfied Owner

My 17 year old Highlander has served me very well over the years. Only have 128,400 miles on it. Only minor repairs needed over that time. Still runs smoothly & quietly. Like the great visibility this car offers.

Basically, my car experienced damage

2004 Toyota Highlander is ver spacious. Perfect for travel. I like driving, comfortably, it is really perfect for a family of (6) six. Perfect for groceries good for a month. That’s I love the most, the space.

Tough, Comfortable and Reliable

My 2004 Highlander has served me well. My family has put some great miles on it and even towed a utility trailer with it. Despite being 17 years old I have no problems mechanically that warrants looking for a new vehicle yet. The rating below for features is a 5/6 only because I own a base model six cylinder and did not go for additional fancier add ins.

Workhorse car

Best reliable car we ever bought. Doesn’t rust. The seats fold down and allow a large cargo area for transportation of large bulky items. Not too bad on gas. You get a great view of the road when driving.

Highlander

This car is a workhorse. It’s a 2004 vehicle that is still getting 22 miles to the gallon. I’ve taken good care of and it continues to do everything I’ve asked her to do- from schlepping kids, car seats, wheelchairs and walkers.

It is the best vehicle I haave owned

The Highlander has been the best vehicle I have owned. It has good acceleration and plenty of room for cargo or people. It does the best in wet weather with good traction tires. Other than normal maintenance we have not had many major problems. It has done remarkably well for its age and mileage.

Aging

Vehicle is great, wind/road noise irritating, quality built into car is great. Repairs expensive. Why do I need to write a novel? Its a great day in November, use a little rain, but overall a great month

Work horse

15 years old and works like a charm. Keep the oil changed and it purrs like a kitten. I would buy again only Toyota made the car too big for my needs so i will keep this one running for as long as I can.

Love my car

I adore my car. It is 15 years old & has almost 200,000 miles. Too bad they made it about 20% larger a few years ago. If it were back to original size I would get a new one in a minute. Dont really have anything else to say but they wanted more words.

2004 and still giving a great ride. Dependable car

Well made. Fair on fuel. Hope to have it for many more years. Miss the rear view camera the newer cars have but it is a really good car. The newer models are now three rows of seats and much larger. Not what we wanted.
