What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Highlander

Price of the Toyota Highlander: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control)
2007 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase
Price of the Toyota Highlander: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Felt some options missing for $38K vehicle such as memory settings, more detailed tire monitoring
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 VW was offering a sizeable discount on the Routan, a similar Highlander was from 8 to 10K more
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 you pay for the reputation.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition.
2006 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 I paid full MSRP.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Pontiac Vibe

Price of the Pontiac Vibe: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 0% 60mths, $800cad grad discount, and another $2000cad off on top of that.
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Discontinued brand(Pontiac) & model(Vibe) that had been discounted.
2007 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 At $6,000 less than the Toyota Matrix, it is a TRUE bargain. After all, it is essentially the same vehicle with a Pontiac badge on it.
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 GM was willing to cut a great deal!
2006 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Basically the same car as the Matrix, but for you get much better options for significantly less money. Overall price quite reasonable.
2005 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 With the brand now gone, dealers are giving these things away.
2004 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 It was affordable (I bought it used) and still had the space I needed.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 A new Vibe is dirt cheap these days; great value for the money...a used Vibe is an even better bargain.
2003 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 My Vibe Base was priced less than a comparably equipped Toyota Matrix XR at the time I bought mine.
Price of the Pontiac Vibe: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I thought the Vibe was overpriced. I only made the purchase when GM offered the 2009 at the same price as the 2006-7, with added safety features now standard.
2009 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Overall, I think the Vibe is overpriced. But then so is every other car on the market. That is what happen when the government bails out private companies when they make poor business decisions.
2003 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 The Vibe GT would have cost far more than the Protege5.
