Just an OK SUV
The only reason we purchased the Highlander over the Honda Pilot, Passport, Mazda CX-9, or the Suburu Ascent was that it was a hybrid car. We took this car on an extended road trip. It handled OK, but the navigation was very primitive, it was unable to direct us to many places AND the navigation cannot recalculate new directions when we miss a turn off or change our destination. The interior console is also a hassle to use. The console is awkward to use and getting to the charging ports is difficult. I was also disappointed that the Limited trim model only came with captain seats for the second row. We really need the second row bench seats and we also really wanted the extra features (like air conditioned front seats), but we had to give up the better features to have the second row bench seats. I do appreciate that the Toyota Highlander is very reliable and we really liked Michaels Toyota of Bellevue because they gave us an additional warranty year.
