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.

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.

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.

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".

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!

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.

Hope this Highlander Lasts Forever

We shopped for this car online while snowed in at home for several days in December 2008. As soon as we could get out of our house, and down our hill, we went to the nearest Toyota dealer and bought the Highlander. It was loaded with features we wouldn't have necessarily have chosen, but have grown to love. We wanted something we could drive home that day. We've driven it cross country several times and it has never let us down. It's quiet, comfortable, and attractive. Seven years later, I still tell people it's my favorite car ever. I'll be sorry if it ever wears out.

We love our highlander

We love our Highlander. We have owned it since 2008. It has been invaluable to us in moving my elderly mother from Phoenix to Tucson. We love the way it drives and the way we can carry our grandchildren plus luggage in the Highlander. The only downside is the warranty is only 30,000 miles and we have had to pay for some expensive repairs after the warranty had expired. We still love our Highlander though, if we replace it we will buy another Highlander but also buy an extended warranty. We tend to put a lot of miles on our vehicles because we live in Arizona and vehicles last forever out here.

Best Touring Car!

We have a 2008 V-6 Highlander, and have toured extensively in the United States; especially the American Southwest. The Highlander's comfort, stability, and overall driving characteristics make it a joy to be on the nation's byways.
