The car was great until the rear window washer broke, windows on driver and passenger side motors broke, computer sensors for tires stopped working and transmission was slipping. Otherwise, I really liked the car and the gas mileage up until that point. At the warranty mark however, we traded it in because the $4,000 required to fix it was not worth it. I love Toyota and it's quality. It was the first car we had ever had issues enough in Toyota to get rid of it. I loved the seats and the room. The leather heated seats were wonderful on a cold, winter day. The Highlander seated 7 adult easily and had room for packages as well. I think mine was just a fluke that all the things went out at the same time. One other complaint is that there is too much room where the steering wheel meets the dashboard, a cord got stuck once there and ended up ruining the airbag and it had to be replaced. Great car to have in snow and rain. I miss a lot about it. It was a great car for trips, great gas mileage. It was fun to drive and felt great! I like the look of the 2010 better than the newer ones with the chrome they added to back of the tailgate.

After owning five Camrys, I took the plunge and purchased a Highlander. At first, I really didn't like it. It wasn't the sedan feel that I had been used to. I liked riding up higher, but it didn't feel as comfortable to me. As I got used to it, I loved it more and more. It handles exceptionally well in rain, and I really dislike driving in rain. I spent the money on an extended warranty but never needed it. This has been the best Toyota I have owned and had zero issues with it except maybe a visor that went haywire. I really like how flexible it is where I can add a third row for seating for people or can collapse all of it and transport as much or more than a truck. I added a rooftop carrier and bike carrier on the back that allows me to fit and transport just about anything. We have a large farm in the Appalachian mountains, and my car has been up and down the logging trails.
