Stylish and beastly

It isn't my favorite vehicle I ever owned, but it's like family. It's hard to want to trade in. It is roomy and reliable, attractive but a workhorse on the road. MPG is not great, but it's acceptable. Drive is fine but not fun. 11 years old and holding its own!

Should have gotten this vehicle inspected by a reliable third party garage.

I didn't have it inspected by a third party. MY VERY COSTLY ERROR IN JUDGEMENT!! So far, as of the first week in November 2019, I've needed to replace the front-and-rear strut assemblies; front-and-rear suspension stabilizer bar link; automatic transmission fluid drain & refill; timing belt; water pump; cabin filter, and, for good measure, it received a tune-up with a thorough induction cleaning! NOW, all I need to do is to avoid a flat, unrepairable tire. If it MUST BE REPLACED, then I MUST REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES! Something about AWD vehicles. This is my last AWD vehicle but, mind you, now that it's mostly repaired, I love driving it and my riders frequently mention how comfortable it is. And, yes, for the right price, it could be yours.

Almost a great vehicle

Excellent all around vehicle except for leaking sunroof drains - continuous problem that fills floors with water and worst dealer service (Scott Clark Toyota in Charlotte, NC) I've ever experienced in fifty years of buying and owning cars.

Dependable vehicle

I like my Toyota Highlander. It’s a very nice vehicle inside and out. I’m surprised that the gas mileage is so efficient. The only thing I don’t like about my Highlander is the road noise. I don’t regret buying it. It’s a very nice vehicle.

Our Highlander!

Car has been very dependable! Two minor issues since purchase; steering is not very responsive, and the brake pedal travel is too much before braking starts! Ride is great, gas mileage very good! Very pleased!

2008 Highlander

Brought this vehicle from CarMax in 2/2020 and it have had 3 major repairs on this vehicle and a full change of filters that still had 2008 filter s in different compartment that needed replace. I like the view of seating higher up in a vehicle. Yes it has lots of room inside vehicle.

2008 Highlander

We got it from a lease turn-in and I have been the primary driver. Being older I feel safe in it. I have had only minor issues with it. Two batteries replaced, the alternator replaced, the tires replaced and just recently some electrical work done. It has high mileage since I drive a lot and I want a newer one with all the bells and whistles so I may trade it in for a newer one. I have been the driver for several road trips with friends. It is roomy, comfortable and holds lots of cargo. The one drawback is that it doesn’t get good gas mileage. It is better on the highway than in town driving through
