2005 Toyota Highlander LE

This is the most comfortable, responsive, and dependable car that I have ever owned. I have rented other makes and models over the years and have driven several other Toyota models. In my experience, this particular Toyota is great!

Best overall car I’ve ever had

Sure footed in winter, a vehicle I can always count on. This is the best and most trustworthy car I’ve ever owned . You would never know that this car is 14 years old. Perfect size for all -efficient to run. Easy on maintenance.

2005 Toyota Highlander

Excellent performance, comfort, and very dependable. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone. It has required low maintenance and I've only had minor repairs. It has been everything I needed in an SUV. Thank you, Toyota!

Love my highlander

My highlander is very reliable and dependable. It has taken me everywhere with safety. I keep it maintained and it has longevity. It’s made very well and shops that work on it are able to service it easily.

completely happy

Maybe the best vehicle I ever owned both mechanically and appearance wise. This SUV has satisfied me from the get-go and I do not see myself replacing it anytime soon, regardless of the mileage. It owes me nothing.

Love it, buying a new one soon. I have the highlander 15 years with 140000 miles, very reliable vehicle. Small AC problem once, normal maintenance tires, breaks, battery etc change oil every 3000 miles, runs great.

Excellent vehicle if maintained!!!

Keep up with the maintenance on this vehicle and it'll last a long time two or three hundred thousand miles is common with this vehicle!! One of the best cars Toyota ever made!!! I've owned this car since new and I've only replaced the anti-lock brake sensor on the rear axle and the low pressure return for the power steering the line rusted through behind the front wheel on the right side everything else is just basic maintenance the car is great

excellent vehicle

230000 miles on this 2005 Highlander and I plan to keep it for life! Best vehicle maintenance wise I have ever owned. It's also a very comfortable vehicle. I have enjoyed this vehicle more than many others I have owned in the padt.

My first and only 4 wheel drive. I would buy one again, although I don't like the looks of the latest model. Myabe the new style will grow on me.

My son in law wants it if I'm ever finished with it. This is the Limited, 6 cylinder, with all the bells and whistles available at the time. This car has been no trouble whatsoever, purchased new in November, 2004. I've always had service at the suggested intervals.

Toyota fan

Mi ‘05 highlander is practically part of my family. It’s great for hauling people, lumber and garden supplies. My wife and I really love it. I don’t work for my horse, it works for me! I would love to keep it for another 16 years!!

Long lasting

The vehicle is 17 years old and still running with only 152500 miles. This vehicle will never attain the mileage of my previous vehicles. Honda CR-V lasted 294000, 17 years. Changing the oil @ no more than 7500 miles or 6 months whichever comes first. And use the brakes sparingly.

Perfect Family Car

Purchase this vehicle used while we were still towing a pop-up camper and carrying a carload of stuff (and kids!). Currently have almost 190,000 miles on her, and she still going strong! She no longer pulls a pop-up camper, as those camping days are long behind us, but she now carries his and hers kayaks! Only downside is she’s not an all wheel drive//four-wheel-drive model, so she’s pretty much all over the place in the snow. Looking forward to putting many more miles on her.

Exceptional overall value

For the price this is the obvious choice for dependability, performance and good looks. I have the six cylinder and it does have excellent acceleration. I currently get 16 to 17 miles per gallon. Handles very nice.

excellent car

Highlander 2005 is an excellent and the performance is still like a new one after 250,000+ miles, It is smooth, quiet, and enough power in Pittsburgh area. It is also very reliable and does not have major problems as long as keeping regular maintenance.
