2018 Toyota Highlander

Purchased this lease-return, low-mileage vehicle from a local Toyota dealership in 2021. My trade-in vehicle was a GMC Acadia. The Acadia was a nice vehicle, but I like the Toyota Highlander much better. Interior appointment is more comfortable, and the ride is more comfortable. Would buy another.

2018 Highlander

I've owned three Highlander's and a RAV4 over the last twenty years. The Highlander is a very comfortable, smooth riding car with very minimal cabin noise. In recent years it seems the interior finishes have suffered. I recently had to replace the plastic surround around the driver's seat because it literally fell apart. The plastic fasteners that snap the seams together wouldn't hold. Cost to repair...$700.00!! Unacceptable for a 4 year old car driven by a 70+ retired senior. Shame on you, Toyota!

Performance

The Highlander is a very comfortable car. I don't like the delay when I step on the accelerator pedal. Also, the side view mirror are very big making it hard to turn left because it's in the way of my view sight.

Disappointed

Bought it because of high dependability. Some good things but some things hard to find and use. Headlight switch hard to find at night. Very noisy on highway driving which made it hard to have conversations

We love our Highlander its a great truck.

We have had the Highlander for a year and its a great all around Vehicle. It has plenty of room as I am very Tall and it has plenty of room. I wish it was about 6 inches taller but it runs great, rides great and very good components. We actually like it better then the 2022 for being user friendly.

Great car to drive

Nice car to drive. All the safety stuff you would want, or need. the second one for me. Had a Toyota Landcruiser for 24 years, few problems. Finally gave up at 240,000 miles. So I bought my first new Highlander, two years later traded for a new Highlander Hybrid. Don't think I lost a dime on the trade fore the last one - value of the two year one went up a little. No problems just a good ride. Larry

Reliable quality transportation

My first Highlander 2009. Next 2018 Next 2021 I own two Highlander SUV’s currently. Last one I bought was a hybrid. I brought this vehicle without a test drive. They are that good and reliable.

2018 Toyota Highlander

I had a 2002 Highlander and put 225,000 miles on it. Bought the 2018 and it is very much larger. I got used to the big size quickly, so no issue. The torque is needy to move the weight. I bought a performance chip to increase power by making timing and mixture more optimal. Power was immediately noticeable. First 10,000 miles, at dealer specs had 17.6 MPG. Next 27,000 miles, to current, has averaged 23.4 MPG. Chip cost $72 and I followed their instructions and installed it myself. Best $72 I have ever spent! Great vehicle!

2018 Toyota Highlander

I really like the 2018 Toyota Highlander we purchased. The comfort is great. Wasn't too sure after having a Yukon Denali if the Highlander would be roomy enough, definitely roomy enough and actually more comfortable. The power seems enough to do everything that I need it to, highway and freeway driving. My one complaint is a very minor one. The lift gate is slow to open and close. A little bit picky I know but it's the only thing I've discovered so far. Plenty of seating for all my grandchildren.

It's not a luxury SUV (???)

Limited Platinum 2018. Love the features, safety & convenience options. And, I don't care that the third row is only usable by very small people since I can fold them flat for Costco runs. Ruby's my urban, permanently covered pickup, tge one that doesn't decorate the freeways with Kirkland toilet paper out of the bed. 'Only issue is hesitation when stomping on the gas. Then it's quick. Otherwise, feels very roomy, which doesn't make any sense when l look at other contemporary Highlanders on the road - they look smallish. Compared with my wife's "luxury" SUV, I'm so happy I bought Ruby! Meanwhile, after I explain that the mirrors don't automatically fold in, I just say, "Well, it's not a luxury SUV."

Great multi-purpose vehicle!

Rides like our caddy, but with awd; pulls our boat; passes with power & ease. Use it for the night out, to backpacking trailheads or long trips. Best auto for the money we've ever owned. Nice job Toyota.

Tremendous vehicle!

Love everything about our platinum level Highlander but the fake plastic wheel covers! It is a very comfortable people mover and is ultra reliable. Looks very classy and performance is very good. Fuel mileage could be a bit better but it is all wheel drive.

My Highlander gives me confidence that I have a very reliable vehicle.

Toyota put all of the bells and whistles in one EXCELLENT package and named it Highlander! The vehicle runs well in all of the seasonal variations of road conditions. The cargo area is extremely large.

Excellent vehicle.

Not the first Toyota I have owned. Buying my 1st SUV was a big step, however. It was a rather large financial undertaking. The quality, comfort, reliability and smooth, quiet ride have astounded me. It is much better than i could have ever dreamed. Thank you, God, for making it possible fo me to have this vehicle.

Nice car

Rides nice. But noisier than expect in highway traffic. Compass reading and temperature are head to find somddtime. Cruise contol is great especially contolling speed behind other cars in traffic. Might trade it in.

Beats the competition!

In my opinion, it beats Acura, Mercedes, Lexus and Audi, for the price! Love it! Definitely do your homework if you're in the market for a luxury SUV. My sister spent $70,000 for her Mercedes and her jaw dropped when I took her for a ride in my Highlander. Half the money, but you would never know it by how awesome it handles, as well as all the awesome loaded features. Now who's jealous lol.

2018 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED ONE YEAR AGO AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEPENDABLE, EASY TO DRIVE IN ANY WEATHER CONDITION AND VERY COMFORTABLE. Have enjoyed driving this vehicle. Although I bought this vehicle used, it was clean and it showed no signs of ware on interior or exterior

Great car with all the luxury you want. My favorite features include heated/cooled seat and heated steering wheel. It's also a comfortable riding vehicle with lots of cargo room for travelers. Love this car!

Awsome vehicle

Works very well for our needs. Used to have a pickup, but traded that in as we got older and had no further need to haul items of great size. This vehicle will haul all that I need, including grand kids and family, or a small wood work project for family members. Does it with more comfort than a truck, and it also has four wheel drive so I can go it the snow. More stable than a pickup under icy conditions as well. Probably safer if a crash should happen too.

Great utility vehicle, luxury feel

Toyota quality through and through. Never had that cheap feeling in any component. The 8 speed AT is silky smooth, plenty of power from the 6 cyl. Gas mileage is good for this size car, especially on the highway.
