Not the Toyota I thought it would be
 Having owned a few Camry's ('97, '03) and Avalon's ('05, '08) over the years, my expectation was one of Toyota quality, however I am disappointed.  Overall the SUV has two really good highlights.  The first is plenty of power...plenty.  This thing gets up and goes (as long as you manually take it out of "economy mode" default which causes it to run like a 4 cyl).  Second is fuel economy (auto start and stop feature is annoying but all cars have it now).  I travel about 30,000 miles a year and am averaging about 23 mpg. vs. 19 mpg in past Enclave ('15) and 18 mpg in Explorers ('12,'14) I have owned.  Overall fit and finish is good as with most Toyota's but here are the really frustrating things, in no particular order: 1. Whistling wind noise  driving at highway speeds from passenger side window/mirror.  2. Front USB chargers are very poorly placed tucked way under the gimmicky "shelf" on dash which is not as cool as you think it would be.  3. The touch screen is too far to reach from driving position.  Have to lean forward each time to make changes to audio etc.  4. Blue tooth voice command feature is very clunky, not intuitive and odd in comparison to Enclave and Explorer or any newer cars. You have to speak way too loud and give way too many commands just to make a phone call only to have them all reconfirmed in detail before dialing.  5. Sound system quality is mediocre in comparison to the Bose in Enclave mid priced model and base model system in Explorers.  Volume always seems too low.   6. Tailgate is a joke.  It beeps like 5 times and then begins the 5 minute opening journey.  Closing is same.  5 beeps warning everyone around you your tailgate is going to close and then it takes 5 minutes to close.  They seem to have countered it with the ability to open the back window as on older SUV's, but I would rather the tailgate to open and close faster.  I am not just being picky, I am comparing it to a bunch of other vehicles including my sister in law's Escalade, friends X5, neighbors Q7 etc.  All fast open and close.   6. Drivers seat will not go low enough for a over 6' tall driver.  Thus, if you sit in normal driving position you tend to look out of the top third of the windshield.  To counter, you need to lean seat back making it even more difficult to stretch to reach dash controls/touch screen.  7. "Safety sense" features are also very gimmicky.  They do work, however I find myself overwhelmed by all the beeps, lights and warnings. They could get away with the side sensor lane changing lights in mirrors and the rear end collision avoidance and it would be fine. Biggest problem: when it snows, the front radar sensor and camera in grill become covered with snow, the entire dash lights up like a Christmas tree and continues to flash with warnings all over the place to make sure you pull over to clean grille and front of car clearing off safety sensors. Warning lights can not be overridden or turned off until the sensors are cleaned off.  I would think it would be far more dangerous to pull over on the side of the highway in a snow storm to clean the sensors to enable the safety features on the car than it would be to drive without them.  I have driven this car on two trips in the snow and both times it happened.  POOR design.   8. When stopping at school or soccer practice to wait for my daughter, most recent cars I have had allow you to turn the car off and continue bluetooth phone call/listen to radio/roll down window etc until you open the door.   This car cuts you off as soon as you shut it off.  Very annoying.   I hope this gives you some insight.  Had I known about these items, I probably would have gone in a different direction.  Seems Toyota has lost its edge.
