I have a 2002 Toyota Highlander. I purchased this car because I wanted an SUV to drive my family around. We often have guests, so I wanted a vehicle that would fit at least five people. I chose a Toyota due to its quality reputation. I have had this car for over 12 years and have had very few problems with it. The transmission and other parts have held up well. I only have 110,000 miles on this car. This car has a tow package and I use it to haul a small pop-up trailer. This car has the power to tow my trailer with no problems. One thing I like about the Toyota Highlander is the ample storage area in the back. I have fitted trees, lumber and other items in the back and used the fold-down seats to easily haul large items back to my house. The car is fitted with luggage racks on top, which I have used. I can place several large and bulky items on top and secure them using the racks. The gas mileage was also a plus for this vehicle. It gets great gas mileage.

The Highlander is a great car! It was a gift from my father, and although I've had the opportunity to trade up, I've held onto it because it's never given me any problems. There's over one hundred thousand miles on the car right now, but I've never had to do any major maintenance aside from the required tire and oil changes. I like the size of the car, especially the height (I don’t have to deal with being blinded by another car’s headlights at night), but it's still very comfortable and easy to drive.
