Highlander Limited V6 4WD
| | Model | Highlander Limited V6 4WD | | | What things have gone wrong with the car? | No coin holder, cheesey seat arm rest for the driver and front passenger, should be adjustable, especially for the price of the vehicle. I notice hitting my elbow when making 90 degree turns on the arm rest. I tend to keep the arm rest in the up position, out of the way. | | | | |
| | | General comments? | Recently purchased the car. So far averaging
19.5 mpg in mostly town driving (Washington DC and suburbs). Hopefully the mpg will go up when its broken in. There is plenty of interior and cargo room. Have the 3rd row seat and it seems too small for anyone but young children. Other reviewers note the wind noise with back windows down, had the same problem with my 2001 Avalon, just cracked one of the front windows. Gas mileage varies according to driver habits. The lighter the touch on the gas pedal the better the mileage. The ride is comfortable but noisier than the Avalon, not a whole lot. I've driven pickups and Chevy Suburbans when our family had a construction business. Compared to them, the Highlander is almost like driving a car. I drive without any music or radio on, so I hear any noise coming through the vehicle. Its not much and the only time I hear a lot of noise is when I don't properly close the sunroof. The leather seats give good support to the back and the adjustable seats let you sit high or low, depending on one's preference.
The brakes are good but you must maintain downward pressure on the brake pedal whereas in the Avalon, you could let up on the downward pressure and the car would continue to brake. | | | Previous car | Suburban, Chevy pickup |
