  Highlander not that high
A member from Maryland, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Audio & nav systems
I was pretty impressed as Toyota's systems in the past I have found lackluster. The bluetooth quickly paired up with my iPhone and streamed Pandora without a hitch, even with the title / track info. The touch screen was very legible and responsive (generally, I despise touchscreens). Sound quality pretty good.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Fuel economy
A complete pig. Yes, we were doing mostly urban assault driving but 14.8 MPG (according to the trip computer I reset when we drove away - did not calculate actual mileage since it was a rental and do not know how full the tank was when we received it) is pretty deplorable.

Other Reasons to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Ride smoothness, Rear seat room & comfort

Best Reason to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Reliability & durability
Outstanding reliabilty. No problems at all.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Rear seat room & comfort
3rd row seats are useless to me. Too little room for adults. Should have been an option for families with small children. With 3rd row seating, you lose storage space.

Best Reason to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Ride smoothness
Compared to the Explorer it was like Cadilac v.s. a 3/4 ton truck. The Highlander is not sporty, but for 99% of our driving its fine.

Best Reason to Buy the Toyota Highlander: Rear seat room & comfort
Lots of room in the second row, including seats that recline and move back & forth. Having the third row as an option for occasional use was really the deciding factor.

I found the brakes squishy and slow to respond. Since replacing them with racing brakes and rotors I feel completely confident in my ability to stop quickly if I need to.
