In love with my Toyota! Never need to stop with hybrid so gas is always full.
Reliable, I bought in 2013 and never had a problem. I have five children and we fit great with a dog and sport gear. I love my a/c I can have it cold and my passages can have their seat warmer if they get cold. I love my moon rooftop on night drive down the coast. Gas mileage is wonderful, I cannot remember the last I was at the gas station.

Our awesome 2013 highlander hybrid.
We love our Toyota! Seats go up and down easily for 3rd row seating for up to seven people, taking the dogs out,, hauling cargo, or whatever our family needs. Great gas mileage. It has plenty of legroom. Cup holders and storage everywhere we have had it for 7 years already without a single issue.

It is a family car with three rows and all the necessary perks.
It is reliable. I love the third row. It has a great functional interior like mirrors, Bluetooth, touch screen. I would love heated seats, but it does not have that. I pitched it used and have been very happy with the gas mileage and ride. It is a step down from the Lexus I previously had but it still is great.

Great gas mileage and comfortable luxury.
Love the hybrid great gas mileage, great features, very affordable maintenance, luxurious and comfortable, tons of space and I love the extra row of seats in case my carpool get packed. I would have liked to have back seat screens for my daughter. But overall great car so far.

Drives great but not very well during the winter.
The performance of my car I can say is really well and whenever I go on vacation, the car is able to travel for a very long time. During the winter however it seems to start to break down pretty easily as it cannot handle the winter weather very well. Overall I love the car but it does need improvements on its mobility during the cold weather.

Hybrid are pretty reliable, they run clean and they last along time.
Hybrids cost a lot to fix, the battery life can be week,it's not that powerful as I'd like it to be, there also not as eco friendly as I'd thought there’d be, there also a little pricey but not as much as a tesla, there also pretty small which I am not into but u still like my car.
