2017 Toyota Highlander SUV LE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
So far so good...
 Very comfortable.  Today 97-98 degrees, a/c comfortable.  Stereo good.  Bluetooth connection to cell phone/pandora good.  Seats very comfortable in front, with firm good support.  Would prefer stronger seat covering than cloth, but this is base trim.  Would prefer LED or high intensity headlights, but not on this trim.  Good acceleration, very good road holding.  Road trip from Colorado to Calgary and back via Glacier, Banff, Yellowstone, with 5 adults and baggage comfortable, except for third row seating.  Mileage for trip:  24.5 - 25.5 mpg.  Car very smooth, and so far, pleasure to drive.   Bought Toyota Platinum Extended warranty, zero deductible 125,000 miles, 10 years.  Would be great if I never have to use it.  So far, I am happy with the purchase.  Things to watch for when purchasing:   Make sure gas, and temp gauges are working and are accurate.  If must be replaced, part of instrument cluster which must be replaced as a unit, and includes the odometer.  Toyota can be difficult about this, requiring car to be left at dealer for several weeks while part ordered.  Check this thoroughly on test drive.================================================Update 1/15/18:  One star removed (now 4 stars) due to perceived cost of future maintenance, see following:  This is probably the most comfortable car I have ever owned.  It is responsive, quiet, handles well, holds the road well.  We are coming from US made Saturns, a 2007 Vue with 216,000 miles and 2004 Ion with 138,000 miles.  We keep cars forever, so reliability and longevity are key for us, as well as low costs of ownership, and low maintenance costs.  We were looking at RAV4, priced right, but seemed a little cramped... and the salesman suggested Highlander.  We drove an LE with V6 and AWD and really liked it.  Got a good price and the rest is history.  We like how the car drives and looks.  Very comfortable, with the performance being there when needed.  We are getting approx 24 - 25 mpg with a combination of highway and local driving.  We were able to purchase a Toyota extended warranty to 125,000 miles or 10 years (whichever comes first).  We would give the car a 5 star rating, except for  these items:  1). New plugs are required to maintain the emission warranty every 60,000 miles.  To get to the plugs, a manifold must be removed, raising the cost of the service.  2) At 120,000 miles replacement of a brake booster vacuum pump is required as part of regular maintenance.  The part alone is over $1,000... and labor is additional.  This is required maintenance and not considered an extended warranty item. 3) The wheels appear to be alloy wheels.  However, they are coated with clear plastic, which looks like they could be damaged by scraping a curb (ours are still fine, fingers crossed).  There seems to be no way to repair this damage other than replacing the wheel, which I am told cost $700 each if purchased from Toyota. I would like Toyota to focus a bit more on low cost of ownership.  4) We have not experienced this problem as we have an LE (manual rear hatch) but there are some reported instances of failure of the electrically operated rear hatch on other Highlander models.
