I have a 2010-was looking to upgrade a few years and less kms. I bought my 2010 with 225km, and put 40,000 trouble free kms on it. Its crazy how well they perform, sip fuel with well designed hybrid system. And its crazy how they hold their value- Could buy a 2012 cadillac SUV with more bells and whistles for almost half the price and similar kms! Thats how good a highlander is.Feb 19, 2021

I bought the car in large part due to the stated MPG of 28/28 (city/highway), so very disappointed that it gets far less than stated. The dealer attributes the poor mileage to the gas I buy, my driving habits, and the roads I drive on (oh yes, and once they pumped my tires up to 42 psig when 35 is recommended). Overall a solid vehicle and good family car.May 24, 2013
