2012 highlander. Third highlander I’ve owned.

This is my 3rd highlander. Absolutely love this suv! Obviously;) perfect in the snow with its awd always on. Plenty of room and a comfortable third row of seating. I have two friends begging me to sell it to them. With almost 100,000 miles on it, it has many many miles left in it!!!!!

Love my highlander

This suv rides like a car and is very comfortable and smooth. Hasn’t required too much mantainence either and when it does the price to mai twin vehicle is not too high. Also gas mileage is surprisingly good

Best midsize SUV

I purchased my first Highlander after owning a 4Runner. Don't get me wrong the 4Runner was great also. But the Highlander is perfect for me. I'm a previous owner of a Chevy S10 Blazer and Ford Expedition but they can't compare to the Toyota Highlander. I've put it through tough use over the years. I've hauled over 3,000 pounds of sod 70 miles to a project I had to finish. Buy Weathertech floor mats, by the way, they are a life and truck saver. Made multiple trips from Houston,Texas to Puyallup, Washington and the Highlander has never whimpered once. I get high teens MPG around town and mid 20's on the highway regardless of how it's loaded. I drive the speed limit. The 2011 in 2WD and the 2012 is 4WD. After last winter in Puyallup, the 4WD was needed.

Good Vehicle

I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander. I spent 6 months reviewing and test driving cars before this purchase. The car is reliable. It is also very comfortable to sit in and / or drive. Roomy for cargo storage. It handles well too.

Comfortable, good mileage, easy drive, good in snow. Dependable. I highly recommend this vehicle and would buy another one when this one gets tired. So far it is still going very strong. I know you will like it

Good Car

I spent 6 months test driving mid size SUVs in 2012. Ford, Kia, Chevrolet, Hyundai. This car is the best. Comfortable, reliable. Rides nice, roomy and lots of storage. 3rd row seating, outlets, 2nd row can change from 2 seats to 3 with removeable center console.

Best vehicle ever

Love this car, roomy and dependable, I keep up on the oil changes and maintenance and she runs like a champ. She is a 2012 and I have only had a few problems with her, and her brakes lasted 7 years before they needed to be replaced. She has surpassed any other vehicle I have ever owned in low maintenance.

2012 highlander

I love my 2012 Toyota Highlander. Prior to My 2012 Highlander I had a 2004 Highlander. It has lots of space to haul things. Easy to drive and is very comfortable to ride in. Several passengers state how smoothly the car rides. My favorite car and the seat warmers are the best!

2012 Highlander is solid and reliable

This vehicle is 10 years old. Besides regular maintenance for 130,000 miles, it has required only new brake pads, and tires. Nothing else has needed fixed. It's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

Very Satisfied

The Highlander has been the best car for us in our retirement years. Have put many miles on it traveling the country. There have been times that we actually used all 8 seats. It has been very reliable.

Exactly what you expect

I’ve put this to the test. I’ve towed with it and it’s never let me down. I think they out soft tires on it for smooth ride so Inout 1/2 truck tires on it to get longer life out of the tires and that helped alot. Other than that I give it a A+

Ok

Have owned the vehicle for 5 years & 108,000 miles. Very reliable, but not happy with the gas mileage. Just barely 16 MPG. Ride is good...road noise is OK. Defroster needs alittle more heat & coverage. Would consider it upon my next purchase.

Great Car

love my car, but if I could change two things it would be better quality leather seats... and the heated seat option isn't as good on this model as it was on another car I had where the heat was in the lumbar and was hotter than in this one
