Great Toyota
By Beautiful | on 1/11/2026 11:32:11 PM
THis Toyota has never let me down! I would say this is one of the best built car I have ever had ! ( I’am 82 yrs. Old and have owned a few !I have owned Caddies and Lincoln’s but believe me this Toyota has got them all beat ! Even with its rather small turbo engine, it can make the tires chirp! Plus it also gets 26.5 miles per gallon in city and 30 miles per gallon on a trip ! It is a beautiful green metallic color! Love it !… - 5.0
Toyota never breaks down
By Doug | on 11/27/2025 5:08:12 AM
I own a 2020 Toyota Highland XLE AWD. I am blown away by the fact that we bought this car new. And I still have the original front brakes and rotors on it with 66,000 miles on it. I have reg maintence done like oil changes, tire rotations,alignments. And the brakes are still in great shape. It runs like a dream,27mpg, awesome V6 power. No issues here at all. Between my wife and I we have owned 2006 Toyota Rav4 limited awd, a 2011 Toyota Camry v6 XLE, a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6, a 2018 Toyota Rav4 XLE AWD, a 2019 Toyota Corolla XSE, a 2020 AWD Highlander AWD V6, and a 2021 Toyota Highlandet Limited V6 AWD. We both love the brand. They never break down. Just do your maintence regularly and enjoy your purchase like we have.. OH WHAT A FEELING TO DRIVE, "TOYOTA" !!!… - 5.0
Awesome car! Longest lasting, lowest maintenance
By Kimber | on 6/20/2025 1:28:57 PM
After much research and test drives, I landed at wanting a highlander with a v6 engine. The 4 cyl with turbo had a lag when trying to change lanes or make a turn, which is unsafe and very frustrating. I would guess it could only have gotten worse with time like my Jeep did. The v6 is powerful, responsive, and the inside is wonderful with space and versatility for hauling and driving many kids. At first I wanted the bench seat, but the buckets won in the end for long drives and comfort for kids being too old to lay down or be in a carrier. The cars last forever I’ve heard. The light gray interior doesn’t burn my legs like a black interior. I avoid dark cars due to the heat. Very happy with that. Also, the seats with little holes in the fabric (on leather and premium models for ac seats) really sticks. Dirt food grime gets in that fabric and you can’t even get it out. If I can’t, who can, I’m a trained fabric Re-weaver. Unless you will never eat, have dirt, or pets, or kids in the car, I’d say avoid that fabric. V6 can tow too. I wouldn’t tow with the 4cyl. People reported it felt lagging and felt like it was damaging the engine. As a mechanic type person I just don’t trust the turbo. My Camry v6 w turbo 2013 was great. But a bigger car with a tiny engine and turbo? It totally lagged.…
