My silver Toyota Highlander is one of the best cars I've ever owned. Not only is the seat elevated, giving me a great view of the traffic ahead, as well as a comfortable perspective of all the cars around me, it also features convenient features intended to maximize safety, including a rearview mirror, beeping sounds when a seatbelt isn't fastened, and more. My Highlander has traversed different terrains, yet it continues to hold up well. The best part is that the seats can be pushed into the back when need be to free up space -- in this way, I have carried musical instruments, sports gear, luggage, groceries, and other heavy or wide-reaching items. In terms of fuel usage, the car does need a significant amount of gas, but it runs for a long time after it is full. The gas and brakes work fast and efficiently, and the wide room both in front and behind me and my passengers provide for an extra comfortable ride.

Overall, the Highlander has been a great vehicle for my family to grow into. I was able to have three car seats in the middle row, leaving the back down for storage or additional seating if needed. We have taken family road trips much more often since having the Highlander. Everything works great on the car and have not had any mechanical issues. I bought the base model so it is very generic, but I have been able to count on this car to take us around the country. For an SUV, the gas mileage and car insurance are affordable.
