The vehicle is reliable and gets good gas mileage. It also is roomy enough for families with kids who for example have to haul stuff back and forth to college, etc. As for the cons, the original tires didn't last very long and had to be replaced sooner than I expected.
I mentioned the original tires didn't last as long as I expected. Another minor issue is the digital tire pressure reader, does not identify the tires--it just gives you numbers, so you have no idea without further checking which number corresponds to which specific tire.
The 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has an average owner rating of 4.00 out of 5 which ranks it #5 of 5 other Hybrid & Electrics.
