The Highlander seats 7 comfortably but drives like a compact SUV. The console is modern and interacts with my smartphone. The safety warning systems are great especially when kids are distracting the driver. Seats fold up and down for flexibility. Great storage when the 3rd row is down. It can still hold a full weeks worth of groceries when the 3rd row is up.

This is the third Toyota Highlander that I have owned. Obviously, it does not disappoint. With our most recent purchase, we shopped it against the Honda Pilot. The Highlander won hands down. Although the Pilot was slightly larger, it did not provide the smooth ride and comforts of the Highlander. The Highlander provides all of the room that we need to transport our three dogs and one child. The third row seat is great when we are car pooling with our son's many friends. We have the version with the leather seats and moon roof which makes our Highlander look and feel like a much more expensive car.
