Used 2012 Toyota Highlander for Sale

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 wo... (more)

Story

I used this car to pick up and drop off my boyfriend, who lives in a different city, every day last summer. We had fantastic chats on our commutes in and out of the city, shared music, and learned about each other throughout these rides.

Pros

My favorite thing about this vehicle is its convenient backing mirror, which allows me to parallel park with ease and gauge oncoming traffic. The fact that the car can also easily be adjusted to fit more or less people is a huge boon to me, as I want a car that can fit my needs. The radio in the car is also detailed and allows for a wide selection of tastes. It conveniently allows me to save my different radio station so that I can pull them up instantly when I am driving.

Cons

Some things can be irritating about the car, including the incessant beeping sound when someone does not fasten his or her seatbelt. The fact that the car also requires so much gas - at least $30 to charge per tank - can be challenging. Furthermore, the car makes occasional squeals that worry me and make me wonder whether the engine is operating well.

2012 Toyota Highlander -

Overall, I really love my car. It had all the basic features I was looking for, an SUV but not too big with a third row if needed and large enough to be able to have three of my children with their car seats. I like that it gets great gas mileage and has mechanically run sound for me. A few things I dislike is there is absolutely no trunk space when the third row is being utilized and with kids a DVD system would be helpful because we travel long distances frequently. I dislike that the seats are cream color and show every blemish of dirt. The car is very spacious, and I am able to utilize all the space in the back. I can put the third row up if needed or down and have more storage. The vehicle runs smoothly and easy to maneuver. The Highlander is great on gas mileage.

Story

Took a family trip to San Diego. The kids were comfortable for the drive and it was a great trip.

Pros

The car is very spacious and comfortable to drive on road trips. I am able to travel far due to great gas mileage. You can have three car seats secure in the middle row leaving more room in the back for stroller and groceries. The vehicle is easy to turn and park as it's not to big but it's a good size that you are comfortable and safe on the road. The car is reliable and has not had any mechanical issues. The display in the vehicle is an easy set up and easy to control. The buttons are clearly labeled, and there are not too many. The sound quality of the speakers is very good and can be a... (more)

Cons

The vehicle did not come with a sunroof and a lot of extra features were left off on this basic model. I would prefer to have a vehicle with bucket seats for the middle row as well as a built-in DVD system in the back for the children. The acceleration is not as quick due to not being a sport model. Choosing a light colored interior with three children was also not a great idea. I was not provided a spare key from the dealership when I purchased the vehicle, and the clicker device for the vehicle does not work.
