Toyota Highlander

Love quiet ride of this vehicle. It has wonderful acceleration when you need it most. The interior is quite comfortable and has plenty of leg room for taller people.

Best Vehicle I've ever owned.

Power, maneuverability, roomy, GPS outstanding, sound system outstanding...so glad I bought this used vehicle! Would suggest to anyone in the used car market that loves to ski, ride bikes and generally get around in the Northwest to do things...check out a Highlander before you decide. I have a bad back and the seats are extremely comfortable. Even the floor mats are the best I've ever seen! Take a test drive. Think it will sell itself!

The Best Car I Have Owned

I had 21 "new" cars until I bought my wife a 1996 "pre-owned" Toyota Camry XLE. It was such a good car that I decided to buy a "pre-owned" 2004 Toyota Highlander. It was just excellent. When I decided to sell it the first person who looked at it bought it from me for my asking price. Next I found this 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited with a little over 42,000 miles on it in 2011. It is my third "pre-owned" Toyota and now has more than 87,000 miles so far. All three Toyotas have been excellent cars The 2008 is loaded with options and luxury items. I would buy another when needed, but I will be looking to buy "pre-owned".

Comparison of Highlander to previously owned SUVs

I am 74. I have owned SUVs since I was 24. On average I keep them 13 years each. None of them were terrible. The Highlander raised my expectations a lot. It is the best engine, best assembled, best paint, most comfortable. It does not have quite the grip of full time 4WD but it does very well. I am frequently on graveled or snowy mountain roads. I miss the reverse gear which slows the vehicle while backing downhill. I will likely keep it another 8 years.

2008 Highlander

Best, most pleasant auto I've ever owned. Only lacks the ability to do what my 1991 Toyota pick up is able to do with no apparent problems. This is a presumption on my part, for I've never tried to take the Highlander where I have been able to take my truck. The Highlander seemed too vulnerable for that. So, leaves me in the uncomfortable place of owning 2 vehicles, one of which is really nice to drive; other, capable of use where I occasionally need it. What I really need is a Toyota vehicle that is capable of doing both.

We like our 2008 HIghlander

We bought it new and have always had it serviced at the Toyota dealer. Now it has about 90,000 miles on it. It's had a couple of problems along the way that were covered by the vehicle warranty.
