Toyota Highlander - 2007 Reviews

As the soundbite indicates, I have owned a 1988 Toyota Camry on which I put 188,000 miles and other family members brought up to over 200,00 miles.  I had initial problems because it was a manual transmission vehicle and the flywheel developed major noise problems until they installed a device that required the clutch be depressed before the vehicle would start.  Toyota took care of all of the problems and once that was done, it was the best vehicle I ever owned.  I subsequently owned a Lincoln Town Car that was great, but the Camry was the best yet.  During the time I drove the vehicle I...

We wanted an SUV with good fuel economy and a good record to last us a long time.  The Highlander gets decent mileage for the size it is, in fact after much research it had about the best I could find for an SUV of its size.  Smooth driving, good take-off and good punch.  Lots of room in the back, an adult can ride in the back comfortably as far as leg room. 

What I don't like is the fabric on the seats. Shows everything, and stains easily. The seats are also very firm.  The doors also do not lock automatically when you start driving like most newer vehicles these days.  You also cannot...

As car dealers offer incentives to move the 2007 model year cars off their lots, it makes this a great time to buy a new 2007.  The Highlander meets all of my needs - larger than a wagon but not huge like a truck, many features and creature comforts, great safey ratings, and all-wheel drive.  It rides smoothly like a car, and has enough horsepower to make those tricky moves in traffic.  The air conditioning is strong and works quickly on a hot day. 

Although the 2008 has more features and a bigger engine, I couldn't convince myself that it was $6000 better.  If you can be flexible about the...

The research for this car was very easy - I wanted a hybrid that could seat 7 as I have an active carpool for school.  This is the only car that fit the description, and happily it is a Toyota.  The third seat is easy to fold up/down.  While it wouldn't fit a grown-up, it is fine for kids.  The mileage isn't fabulous, but it is way better than a regular SUV.  I average about 26 mpg.  I have not had any trouble with it!

The 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is by far the best purchase I've ever made. It has all the bells and whistles I could ever want - heated seats, GPS, 6-disc CD changer ... and is the nicest vehicle I've ever owned.

It's roomy and comfortable, whether I'm driving co-workers to lunch or taking my two labs to the river for a swim.

 My Highlander is incredibly quiet, fun to drive, and gets great gas mileage!

Our 2007 Toyota Highlander is our second one and we love it. It's comfortable, economical, and safe. It holds all we need to lug around when we travel. We feel very safe while driving, especially with our grandchildren seat buckled in the back seat. That may be one of the reasons our son-in-law sold it to us, because he also knows how safe it is too!!
