I was given my car, so no choice really went into purchasing it. It has awesome gas mileage, it handles well and it has ample cargo room.

The Highlander is a great SUV that drives like a car. It has a good turn ratio, drives smooth and handles well in the rain. It has an anti skid option which is wonderful if you hit water or are in the rain. It is a 6 cylinder engine and I can get to my desired speed easily. My model has the optional third row seats and fits 7 people. This is great for carpooling my kids around and going places with friends. The car is comfortable and has many cup holders. It is large enough to fit my dogs and the seats fold down in the back so I can load large packages or small pieces of furniture. The back can be automatically opened by the driver or from the back. It has a button that automatically closing the hatch. It has the key less start and the doors open with a touch and lock by pressing a button. What I truly like is if the keys are left in the car, you can not lock the doors. I enjoy my navigational system and I have the upgraded stereo system. Overall, the car is wonderful. I have had no issues with it for 5 years.
